I like ice cream when it's cold
I like old time radio
It's funny but it's true
These things I do
The last two lines I'm not exactly sure of the wording, I was trying to remember them because they got me to thinking about writing lyrics and how we need to pay attention to detail.
I've been working on music all summer, but not lyrics. I spent the late spring and early summer working on theme music and tracks for one TV series, and all of August on music for another series. I consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to have my music on television, even if in a small way, and even if it doesn't amount to much of anything money-wise. The biggest bonus for me was that it got me into writing again. Well, I shouldn't come to any conclusions, I've only started on one song, but hey, for somebody who has had nothing but a dry well to draw water from the last three or four years, it's something!
And that's why the above lines struck me today. You should read them again before I go on and see if you can spot the inconsistencies.
