Songwriter looking for lyricist for (long Term) collaboration.

Hi all

My name is Gunter. One of my passions is music. I am a guitar player with many song ideas. I am looking to collaborate with a lyricist, as writing lyrics does not come particularly easy to me. My end goal is to create songs that will be published on relevant channels (Apple Music, Spotify, etc).

A little bit about me: I am 58 years old. Bands that I love and grew up with are Dire Straights, The Cure, etc. Some newer artists I like are Deathcab for Cutie (what a strange name!), Ed Sheeren, Keane, Olivia Lunny, Post Malone, etc.

My favorite type of music is guitar based music, mostly alt pop or alt rock. Regarding lyrics, some of my favorite artists would be Elton John, Chris Rhea, Coldplay, Deathcab for Cutie, Keane.

What I am NOT looking for are lyrics that are "typical", for lack of a better word. This means things like stating the obvious (which happens a lot when it comes to lyrics about Love or heartbreak). I'm more into lyrics that might have a clever double meaning, or a (spiritual) message. I also like lyrics that, in general, are uplifting, and not doom and gloom.

Anyway, the way I envision a collaboration is that we get into contact and exchange a few ideas (ideally in person, but in all likelihood it will be per video call). If we think there's a possibility of taking things further then let's discuss that in more detail when the time comes. I am currently located in Greece.

Looking forward to finding someone to create with!

Cheers

Gunter
