I warmly welcome you to my site which houses my lyric work and is the place for lyric writers to collaborate and tune-smiths to marry a lyric to their work.
My name is Tommy and I’ve been collaborating in the writing of song since I was a teenager, that was a few years ago now. All my lyrics are archived here and you are welcome to use, amend or adapt.
Most of my lyrics have my music but that’s another story for another time. I’m making them available for you to have a browse through and if one inspires you in the writing of song, then get on with it. Just let me know via email – tommy@thelyriczone.net. If someone else is working on the lyric, I’ll let you know, if their work marries to the lyric I’ll run with it, if not, I’ll let you give it a go. It of-course has to be remembered that I retain all the copyright on all my lyrics. Amendment and a lyric re-write is obviously part of the project plan, the writer of the amended lyric clearly retains their own copyright so the end product could well have percentage of copyright ownership. I’m also available for collaboration on a lyric you may have as part of a song project, email me. If you have music begging for a lyric, again email me.
There will be four categories of lyric, each is a different stage in my lyric-writing life. The first is The Crazy Years when I was young and stupid and made many mistakes that most wouldn’t manage in a life-time. Then there’s The Therapy Years when I lost myself to psychological warfare. The third category is what I call The Growing Up Years which I never did and never will complete the course on.
It’s been some years since I looked at this place, I was busy getting on with my life and I’ve spent my spare time working on a campaign site other than here. I’m getting older and I’ve reducing my day job hours and an individual has inspired me to get back on the horse. I’ve been scribbling new words since the beginning of last year and the up to date efforts shall be found in what I’m calling The Final Chapter, it will be on-going and hopefully last for a lot of years.
And so thank you for visiting and let me know your thoughts. Please enjoy and hopefully be inspired.
