You never know where an idea, a fragment of a lyric might end up…
The idea behind this film was “someone listening to something beautiful that he hates having to listen to…” - the whole Stasi setting is incidental and just dreamed up to illustrate the core idea…
Or so I’m told…
I transferred all my completed songs (as well as ideas, half-finished songs, or song titles) onto my computer and created folders accordingly. I moved my medium from notebooks to my laptop. It’s actually a lot more convenient, especially if I forget my notebook somewhere and I have my lyrics on my Notes app on my Macbook.
I use OneNote to keep my lyrics. It works well for me.
I carve my lyrics into the flesh of the damned. Inked in blood, using a pen forged from the utters of the world’s most evil cow. I organize them neatly, I write the song titles on the index cards and shove them in a box below my bed, along with my collection of gently used paper towels.
