To view the videos of my songs on VargenUlf’s YouTube channel, click the pic to the left, or click here.
My goal with song lyrics has always been to make them aspire to poetry that could stand on their own silent feet as poems, but then would blend as nicely with melody when married to it as song.
For years I tried to find a good word for that kind of lyric, but I never found a good single word.
Yes, there is the word lay, which means poetry meant to be sung, but the word is archaic and in our culture has other, less poetic meanings as well, so thanks but no thanks.
Eventually, I settled for song poetry as the description for what I was seeking. These are my song poems.
I have a created a channel for that named VargenUlf (it means “Ulf the Wolf” in Swedish), and which you can find here.
Enjoy
