About

I'm a lyricist looking for musicians to write music to my lyrics.

Hi, I'm Gemma, an independent songwriter and lyricist behind Verse & Variety.

I specialise in original lyrics across rock, country, pop, R&B and alternative styles. My writing is inspired by storytelling, emotions, personal experiences and the different ways music can connect with people.

I enjoy developing ideas into complete songs, creating meaningful verses, memorable choruses and bridges that bring a song's message together.

My portfolio includes original projects such as emotional country rock, alternative R&B and post-grunge/alternative metal.

I'm here to connect with singers, musicians, songwriters and producers who are looking for original lyrics and creative collaboration.

I'm particularly interested in paid lyric-writing opportunities, while remaining open to discussing suitable creative projects.

Dreams & ambitions

My ambition is to develop as an independent songwriter and lyricist, creating original songs that connect with people through honest storytelling, emotion and meaningful lyrics.

I've been developing my own songwriting portfolio across a range of genres, including country, rock, pop, R&B and alternative metal. I enjoy exploring different themes, from heartbreak and personal growth to identity, relationships and life's experiences.

My long-term goal is to establish myself as a lyricist, work with talented singers, musicians and producers, and have my original lyrics brought to life through professionally recorded and released music.

I'm particularly interested in paid lyric-writing opportunities and building lasting professional relationships with artists who value original songwriting.

Ultimately, I'd love to see my words become songs that people can relate to, connect with and remember.

Equipment

My main focus is original songwriting and lyric writing. I work with written lyrics, creative writing tools, notebooks and reference materials to develop song concepts, storytelling, themes and lyrical structure.

I don't currently offer music production, instrumental recording or vocal recording services.

Lyrics

Sunrise After The Wine

Country, Rock

[Intro — 0:00–0:20 | soft guitar mix + light steady drum beat] [Verse 1 — 0:20–0:50] Red wine in a chipped glass, sand between my toes Watch that fire sink low where the blue water grows I’ve carried so many wrongs, choices I regret Waves crash hard on the rocks, ache I can’t forget [Pre-Chorus — 0:50–1:08] Cars fly past above, faces look so free I’m still lost in the mess I made of me [Chorus — 1:08–1:40] Sun goes down like the light in my soul Mascara streaks, two glasses down and I don’t know Scars on my heart, weight I carry still I just want to see the sun rise up again for real [Instrumental Interlude — 1:40–1:58 | warm electric guitar lead, keep it tight] [Verse 2 — 1:58–2:28] Tried to fix things but I only made more Locked my heart, shut every door Past stays right there, no matter where I run Hoping forgiveness might finally come [Pre-Chorus — 2:28–2:46] Cars fly past and they don’t see me here Holding onto hope that’s barely still clear [Chorus — 2:46–3:18 | builds a little stronger, full sound] Sun goes down like the light in my soul Mascara streaks, two glasses down and I don’t know Scars on my heart, weight I carry still I just want to see the sun rise up again for real [Break — 3:18–3:25 | pull back to soft guitar only] [Bridge — 3:25–3:43] It’s okay I’m broken, okay that I’m sore Sun sets tonight but it comes back once more I’ll find my own light somewhere in the dark I’m still here trying, that’s where I start [Outro — 3:43–4:10 | fades warm & steady] Red wine in my hand, facing the tide I’ll see the sun shine again…
