La musique nous donne accès au coeur du monde. Quand j'écoute Mozart, Schubert ou Wagner, je sens monter en moi un irrésistible sentiment d'exaltation et de reconnaissance pour l'univers qui a engendré la vie et la musique. – Hubert Reeves

Sending a beep is the most unromantic term I've ever heard. It makes me think of the noise the Roadrunner makes. Maxi |
MeepMeep That's what I hear when emails come in. If anyone is interested in that small wav file, just hoot your horns |
Oh my beloved, in my thoughts when I sleep
Oh my darling, please send me a beep.
Sweet of my dreams, daytimes are deep.
Like two cars a driving, oh meep, and meep meep.
Atrociously bad on purpose, if you please!  An attempt at making "beep" romantic, and "meep meep" to boot. I think I'll regret this in a few hours. "Reim dich oder fress dich" - does this expression have an equivalent in other languages? Literally "Rhyme or eat yourself", for poems that are made to rhyme no matter what.

Bianaca, what is the technical side of lyric writing? It's an eerie morning here in Gurgaon. The air is still and yellow.

And I can finally answer your earlier question about sunspots and Canadian weather. The whole choir was singing and hour ago when such a downpour came that I could hear it over the singing. Someone told me there had been a little yellow triangle in the weather report warning of a storm. Fortunately by the time we left it had all cleared up again.
How strange to think someplace else it's morning. I'm about to hit the pillow.

a. make sure you have a "story from beginning to end"
b. decide where rhyming words should come (middle + end / only at the end)
c. don't use difficult words
d. stick to the rhythm caused by the chosen words (don't change from 3/4 to 6/8)
e. imagine an artist: can he breathe between two lines? Change the text if he is turning purple. Storm over Holland
