| If I were ALW, I'd use Jim as the lyrist over anyone else on one condition and one condition only: No lyric or song can be lifted from previous work. ALW can choose anyone to write lyrics specifically for the scenes, characters, and themes of Phantom II. Why would he want something recycled from another musical? Because it's a good song and it kind of fits? He really should be able to do better than that. -=John Galt=- > I can envisage ALW e-mailing Jim scene desrciptions and > mp3's of the music, and asking for contributions? > > Lot easier these days to collaborate without meeting, than > say in 1985/6 (for first Phantom). > > Jim's song 'The Powers of Darkness' has the right 'vibe' > for Phantom 2 (even though I have no idea of the lyric), > or even 'City of Black & White' (from Garbo)? > > Also the lyric (and music) from 'What Part of My Body > Hurts The Most?' could work really well? > > 'there are times in the still of the night, when I don't > think I'll get over you...'
