'Shalom' from Paul.
I'm pleased to announce a new song demo by the great Arthur May & myself called 'Spilt Milk'. The song is about wearing a condom to have sex (well I could have lied & told you it's about spilling your glass of milk I suppose:)! You can hear the song at my main music site at www.myspace.com/paullyricist
Thank you so much & Arthur & I really hope that you enjoy the song(s) & we'd love to hear your opinion of them!
Wishing you all the best - Paul:)!
לזמרים ישראליים,כותבי שירים ומחברי לחניםשלום ותודה על ההתעניינות בי ובעבודתי ככותב שירים. אני כותב שירים אבל אני לא מתורגמן מאנגלית לעברית. אם יש לכם שיר בעברית או אפילו להיט ישראלי שאתם רוצים שאני אתרגם לאנגלית בגלל שאתם חושבים שהוא יכול להיות להיט באמריקה או במדינה דוברת אנגלית אחרת אז אנא צרו קשר עם חברה שתפקידה לתרגם. אני כותב שירים אני לא מתורגמן ומנסיוני בעבר לא ניתן בהצלחה לתרגם תחושות ישראלית מיוחדיות ורגשות משיר בעברית לשיר באנגלית-זה פשוט לא עובד. אני אקבל בברכה כל אומן שרוצה לשים מוסיקה למילות שיריי,תודה פול.

My Interests

I love writing song lyrics - I believe any form of art is a gift from G-d. Most of my time awake and asleep is taken up with hearing words and lines in my mind - maybe I'm crazy - who knows Lol!!?? I believe that you should not do to another person that which you would not like done to yourself, so I try to treat everyone I meet with respect and civility and a fair amount of humour too:)! We're put on this earth to give and to do good, it's something one should never forget ....ok there are those 'dark' moments and that's unfortunately human nature as the only one perfect is G-d the creator, anyway, I try & keep my eyes bright and always look up to see the sky - try it sometime!

I'd like to meet:

Any person who is good is always welcome - no matter what age, what religion, what colour, what sex, whatever!! Met Sean Lennon yesterday in Tel-Aviv - see my blog and photo's!
