    The Words Behind The Music

    8 March 2023

    Hi everyone,

    Since December I haven’t done much musically, but have been preparing for a book release instead. It is currently in the publishing process and should be out towards the end of the year. No-one seems to be listening to my songs and music much at the moment, which is understandable as there is so much more music out there that has had a lot of time, money and effort spent on it and it shows in the production quality.

    Releasing my music on a budget was not a risk, but more of a personal decision and, financially, of little loss and concern. It was more of an inner desire and not a quest for success.

    However, the release of my lyrics in the form of poetry is a big venture and at a price. As I gave my songs some exposure, in an audible format, I felt it was only right to give my words a chance without the music being the main focal point. It is a brave thing for me to do as hardly anybody knows me and the chance of the book gaining interest is doubtful. This is where i am relying on the publishing company to do what is needed to reach the people that will be interested.

    I will mention the release closer to the time and hope for the best. If (or if not in fact) it gains success i will release more books of lyrical poetry. I am working on the manuscripts for book 3 and beyond.

    I will say that if poetry isn’t your kind of thing then that doesn’t mean you’ll dislike the words within my books. They are influenced by reality, but in a fictional context more often than not. Often, the words are written from an ‘I/ Me’ perspective, but not necessarily applicable to myself, just me putting myself in someone else’s situation and seeing things from their perspective.

    I will leave it at that, for now, and let you decide if and when you get to read them.

    Thanks for reading this and I hope my writing history can create an interesting read.

    Kind regards,

    Colin E. Pyle

    Poetry Book Manuscript

    20 December 2022

    LOST IN REALITY (the manuscript)

    Hi all,
    Had a few problems getting this manuscript just right, and readable for all to view. Hard work getting this ready when doing a 50 hour week job as well, but I’m getting there. Above, I have created a slightly different cover to the original one used in the manuscript. I’m not sure which will be used when it gets published though. Anyway, just thought I’d create this post so anyone wishing to have a read can now. I hope I have done everything right this time!

    The Poetry Book Idea: Song Lyrics in The Form Of Poetry –

    14 November 2022

    Hi everyone,

    I need to know if those who are following me, would be interested in buying a book of my lyrics in a poetry format. This is just an idea that’s in its early stages of research and preparation.

    The first book will probably consist of lyrics from 4 of my albums (but maybe 5):

    1/ Mask Of Reality – Reality In Dreamland

    2/ Lost Property

    3/ 2020 Vision

    4/ The New Lost World

    5/ Whatever Happened

    This will be 87 lyrical poems within this book.

    This will cost me up to £2000 to set-up. If the book is sold for £9.99 then I will need to sell 200. I am still making enquiries so I can find the best deal. If enough interest is shown then I will proceed with this plan. Anyone know about crowd-funding?

    And then, if all goes well, I will release lyrics from other albums and actual poetry that has not been recorded in any format so far.

    Please let me know if you are/will be interested, and I will make the necessary preparations to make such a book publishable.

    To make the poems a little more understandable, it will help if the reader is familiar to my music but, even if not, I would like to think I can still be appreciated in a poetic form.

    I am open to advice and suggestions, so please feel free to respond.

    Thanks,

    Colin E. Pyle The Lost Connection

    Poems for publishing idea

    2 November 2022

    Hello all,

    A few people have suggested that I should concentrate on poetry instead of recording songs. This was obviously suggested by those who weren’t very keen on my songs, but quite liked my lyrics. I have considered this option, but in addition to recording music.

    As I’ve written quite a lot it is hard to know where to begin. I have recently had an idea though – release a book segregating the lyrics into album chapters. This is one option, but some of the songs may not come over well in a poem format. Also, many of my best poems were never turned into songs. Bearing this in mind I could release another volume of the ‘Unreleased Lyrics And Poems’.

    Another idea I considered was grouping the poems into categories. This may make the reading a bit heavy and less interesting if all about similar subjects.

    A third option was just to release them them in chronological order, in a multitude of volumes. Not every poem/lyric I wrote was worth publishing and there were periods that were better than others.

    I will ponder over these options and look at the book publishing options available and update all as and when I come to a decision.

    If anyone has any suggestions or advice feel free to tell me.

    Thanks,

    Colin E. Pyle The Lost Connection
