How did it happen? She just stormed in. And there! She already got Dress confession <\/em>in her hands. The poem just turned into a song. How?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Actually, it was supposed to be a poem written and hidden in a drawer. How come it became a song and was sung out by Monika?<\/p>\n

Oh, maybe you are not interested in the process of creating songs but this is a story about how not to miss chances we come across every day. <\/strong><\/p>\n

One day Monika, who has always been singing, asked me if I had some lyrics for her. Sure I had! I had got some poems in my drawer and one, already published, book of poems. However Monika, who I have known since my secondary school, was sure I had to empty that drawer so she did not remit. I sent her Dress confession<\/em><\/a>, a poem written a few years ago. This is how the whole story started!<\/p>\n

After a while I heard about a young Swede who had already been composing music for this poem. When I listened to Emil Forsvall’s composition, I could not believe it was for real! When I heard Monika sing it I knew that my poem had found its destination, thanks to Monika, not to me, because she grabbed that chance and gave it to others, me included.<\/p>\n

What lesson did it teach me? I learnt that amazing things happen<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– when we are open to new opportunities<\/strong> (it doesn’t matter that I have never written lyrics before),<\/p>\n

– thanks to people <\/strong>who decide on alliances, collaboration and complement each other (they cannot be missed!),<\/p>\n

– thanks to confidence in other people<\/strong> (it is better to trust and experience than remain with the \u201ewell known\u201d).<\/p>\n

I thought it would be a one-time adventure but nothing of that kind. If you knew Monika you would not ask why. Another song was very demanding: Waiting <\/em><\/a>with music by Adam Urbanowicz. I met another person who composes -mainly instrumental music \u2013 but he accepted the challenge of\u00a0\u00a0 composing music to lyrics:<\/p>\n

Well…music comprises melody, harmony, time and sounds…Starting on writing music to lyrics means, first of all, searching for the musical THING in the lyrics: rhythm , melodics and possibly …, or maybe in first place, the rhymes and rhythm of a given poem or lyrics…<\/em><\/p>\n

When I read Adam’s words, I know that melody is similar to life. We are all creators <\/strong>but we need others to tell the meaning of our lives better. <\/strong> Let’s look for this thing, our rhythm and our dream team who makes us become better people and therefore we can give something to others: a unique story. What does Monika say about good songs?<\/p>\n

You should always have something to say, in terms of both lyrics and interpretation. You must be able to tell the story of the journey in the realm of a song. <\/em><\/p>\n

I have just finished listening to another Adam’s composition to the poem Knowledge<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This poem was supposed to wait for its premiere in a few years. Instead, it was also promptly taken away from me by Monika. I know that one day in the future, when my old age will skimp on my vigour, but not on my dreams, I will make delicious dinner, lay the table, light some cream candles and then I will ask him to dance…to the song Knowledge<\/a>. I will hear Monika. I will think about Adam. About life.<\/p>\n

What if I had replied that I had no poem? And what if Monika weren’t so determined? Know who you are but do not define yourself completely. I never thought I would become a lyricist, and yet…<\/p>\n

When an opportunity knocks at your door, even if you have never done it, answer: come in!<\/strong><\/p>\n
