EXCERPT:
V A N I S H
Those words are hiding in the rain
even vanishing, the memories remain
those words are hiding in the light
even vanishing, I hope you are all right
Don't you need someone to take you by the hand?
don't you need someone to help you understand?
don't you need someone to stay until the end?
LIGHT AND RAIN NEVER HAPPEN IN VAIN.

Pros of Writing Poetic Pop Music Lyrics
The pros of writing lyrics in this style, which looks like modern poetry at first glance but is actually Poetic Pop Music, begin with the fact that this seems to be a fresh, new niche, which might actually have been started through the release of my award-winning book Words to Think. Or to Sing. Its style is minimalistic, relatable, and shaped by fragments I carefully curated for this occasion that invite reflection and resonance.
Furthermore, I can be completely myself. There are no third-party agreements limiting my artistic vision or integrity concept. I write and sing soundtracks of life to connect, support, and entertain as I see and feel through my own eyes and experience. Having my own music label and publisher infrastructure, called Intensia Music International, and being an award-winning vocal coach as well as a recognized vocational teacher for aspiring singers and songwriters in Germany, I not only have full control over my strategy but can also show upcoming generations of musicians what is possible.
I do not have to research a lot for my work because it is inspired by life and driven by emotions. There are no huge topics or facts to dive into for plausibility or accuracy.
A piece of writing for lyrics, which is approximately the length of an average song, is mostly completed in a shorter time than a novel. You see results sooner, and if some lines later feel out of tune with your truth, you can easily change them. That is different from a big book with a more complex structure.
Cons of Writing Poetic Pop Music Lyrics
You do really put your soul and emotions out there to truly reach someone and resonate. You work with personal experience, evocative details, and thoughtful impulses. It is always a bit scary but also a beautiful thing, the idea that you can quickly connect with others through songs.
Depth expressed in minimalistic words can take a little time to be felt and truly appreciated. The emotional layers in such lyrics might need a moment to fully unfold their impact. They invite listeners to linger with attention, to reflect, and to make the words their own. It offers a completely different rhythm than the usual fast-paced approach often seen in the industry I work in.
Bonus: A Few Pros for the Readers
If you give this book a go, not only will you already know a part of the words when the songs are released, which is a huge advantage for singing along, but you will probably get the first one and only read with no hangover guarantee. It marks the beginning of a creative, shared adventure where you can witness how I complete the snippets and turn them into songs to stream, one by one, at a soulful, deliberate pace.
So the journey does not end with the last line of the publication. You are warmheartedly invited to join me for this on Substack. I would be thrilled to see you there!
