✺ Q and A with Lyrische Ziel ✺
-
I write all my lyrics 100% on my own. I sometimes start with an old poem I wrote when I was younger as a foundation, and other times it just starts with an idea or a conversation. I like to write out in free form what I want the song to be about, then I go back and start to form the chorus, then I build verses around that and eventually I come out with the first draft of a song. From there I put them into the AI program and fill out a prompt how I want the song to sound. From there I listen to the song and rewrite and rework it about 50 times before I’m happy with the cadence, flow and rhythm as well as the melody and overall feel of the song. Sometimes I get lucky and what I imagined happens in a few tries, other times it takes so many retries that I leave and come back to listen to it later.
-
The majority of my songs are pulled from my own experiences, or from the experiences of those around me. I work in the mental health field and I realize how important it is to be honest and vulnerable. Whenever we try to pretend we’re ok, we not only do ourselves a disservice, but also everyone else around us who is struggling with the same or similar things who now feel shame because they believe they are the only ones who are going through what they are.

Absolutely. I was in a band with my Dad and a friend of ours before I moved out of state. I love singing and have been doing it since I was little. I think it would be awesome to figure out how to record my own voice and put it in my songs. Having said that, my ultimate goal is to write life changing songs for other people and mostly stay in the background.
-
Frankly, I love all kinds of music, I can’t see myself sticking to just one genre. I have a playlist on Spotify I’ve been building for years and its such a random mix of things, there’s really no rhyme or reason to be found. I want to write music everyone can enjoy at some point or another.
-
At the moment, its just me, however, I’m really hoping I might be able to work with my Dad and our friend again, and maybe even with my brother. I think that would be awesome. My daughter is pretty into music as well, so at some point it would be cool to have her participate as well.
-
For sure! I’d be happy to write a song for anyone. I wrote the album Passages of Time upon my Mother’s request and I’m currently working on an album of songs inspired by 8 friends and family’s favorite Bible verses. I also wrote a song for my spouse and my daughter. Just reach out and let me know what you’re looking for.
