You'd better believe It babe!

About Me

Hi, my name is Paul & I'm a song lyricist (try saying that after a few beers!:) originally from the Swiss Cottage area of London, now living (or trying hard to live!) in Israel. I am always writing song lyrics and I will consider working with any artist, singer or band - established or not, wishing to add music to my lyrics & turn them into songs. I really don't care if you are famous or not, as long as you can make music & think you can make a good song from my lyrics. I have worked with/for/met many famous people from The Queen to Presidents and I'm really not easily impressed by titles - what matters most is who you are not what you are or what title you hide behind! I will consider working with you if you are honest, polite and can make good music (no matter what type of music) - these are the main traits I look for in a song collaboration.My musical & lyrical roots are grown from English Folk, American Folk & Blues, Christian/Gospel with influences from English nursery rhymes and church hymns.

I also write lyrics for a German band, 'Guitavio' www.myspace.com/guitavio . Guitavio released their new Cd "Songs of Love and Loss" through Moon Sound Records ref: 1315-1514-11 containing songs with six of my lyrics on 30th March 2007! You can buy 'Songs of Love and Loss' through Guitavio's web site at www.guitavio.de/diskographie.htm
I also have a song collaboration known as 'The Grils', check out 'The Grils' site & songs at: www.the-grils.com .

I am also now on Facebook at www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=575632081 and I'll be happy to be added as a 'friend'. More songs can be heard at apps.facebook.com/ilike/artist/Paul+Robert+Thomas .
I am also currently working/have worked with a number of artists from all over the world. !
You are invited to check out my used & unused lyrics which can be viewed at: www.12inter.net/e-lyricz/user.php?id=1519 .
I am a member of the MCPS-PRS Alliance (ASCAP), London (CAE .. 497904008) - my lyrics can be used if you ask my permission.
Please also check out my published Dylan articles too:- On 'Every Grain of Sand', Seven Days', The Basement Tapes' and 'Caribbean Wind' which are all on my Blog.
Feel free to message me directly at [email protected] .
Hope to hear from you soon
'Shalom' from Paul.
To all Israeli singers, singer/songwriters & composers! Shalom & thank you for taking an interest in me/in my work as a song lyricist. I am a song lyricist but I am NOT an interpreter from Hebrew to English! If you have a Hebrew song that you'd like translated into English because you think it could be a hit in America or other English speaking country (experience has shown that you cannot successfully translate unique Israeli feelings & emotions into English, it just doesn't work) then kindly contact an interpreting company who will be happy to do it - I am a song lyricist and am NOT an interpreter! What peeves me the most is just how many Israeli artists, even 'big' Israeli stars that I have worked with, who, after I have spent hours & sometimes days of my own time working on their songs haven't even had the decency to say a small 'Thank You' - Your kind I really don't need, thank you!!
I will gladly welcome & work with any artist from anywhere in the world who wants to add music to my lyrics and make a song from them - 'from small acorns big oak trees do grow', thank you - Paul:)!
