About
I've been writing songs and instrumental music on and off for most of my life. My songs nowadays tend to focus a lot on melody and can sometimes be a little complex. I'd like to pare them down a little and make them more catchy. I also struggle a little to write lyrics that I'm happy with so would be keen to work with a lyricist.

Hey Julian,

I got tons of story-lyrics looking for a good home, or I can write to your suggestions. Lots of country, roots and folk! (Sorry, I don’t write to existing music.) I'd love to hear some of your work! Sent you back in 2022.

Lets chat… it costs nothing! Please email me at: dmurray19@comcast.net

Hello Julian,

My name is David Murray, and I’m a lyrical writer with 300+ songs in catalog, (lots of folk/roots) or I’ll write just for you! Strong rhyme schemes, tight, poignant, adventure topics. I’m a freak about lyrical rhyme cadence. (Genres: Country, Folk/Roots, Celtic, Christian, Rock) Favs: Prine, T.T. Hall, Cohen, Lennon/McCartney, Taupin. I’m a serious, responsive writer… and I hope you’ll think that I do it well. Support background: I’m a semi-retired marketing executive, served on the faculty at the RI School of Design, published 3 children’s books and played in the RI Highlanders Pipe & Drum Band. Easy to work with, rapid response and fun! Compensation is not a driving factor, split 50/50 if revenue streams. Member BMI and Songwriters Guild of America. Remember, it costs nothing to chat!

Hope to hear from you, Julian.
David
