Karl,
Sorry it took me 3 years to see this… but I really like the song, just as it is!
Hope you’re well,
Tony

I’d be curious to hear your ‘take’ on this song’s use of bridge — the instrumental verse comes back like a bridge, and then the real bridge wanders in delightful progressions .. anyhow, as you say, momentum .. works for me .. matching the spacey lyrics.

Connie I am a hack musician who is weak with lyrics, so if you wanna connect i will put your lyrics to music — Tony can vouch — karlmadd@gmail

Connie,
I’ve hesitated in responding to your note because the questions you ask have so many possible answers… I’d suggest starting simply with googling ‘find songwriting collaborators’; and looking into opportunities that large music business organizations such as NARAS, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC (and others) offer. Also investigate local songwriting groups and workshops. I know people who’ve found collaborators on sites like craigslist.org. And it’s also important, whenever you meet someone in music at a gig, or anywhere, to mention that you’re a lyricist. Good lyricists are hard to find… and valued!
Best wishes,
Tony

I know this but it is great to have “great songs” to compare my songs to. As a lyricist who does not play a note, with music totally orchestrated in my head, the bridges come fairly easily. I just need someone to collaborate with. How do you get someone to collaborate with you? AND do you pay them or share royalties? Do you just sing acapella at the meeting and outright ask who is interested in adapting it musically? What is your advice? Thanks again for the great articles and wisdom. Priceless!
