About Drageda Lyrics – Lyricist

Welcome to Drageda.com, the official website of Drageda Lyrics, my artist name and the creative brand under which I share my original lyrical works through major music streaming platforms and my YouTube channel.

I’m Barbara (Tremblay) Cipak, a lyricist, digital music creator, video creator, and published author. I began writing original poems and lyrics in 1968, when I was eight years old, and that lifelong passion for storytelling has continued ever since. What began as a childhood love of writing has grown into a lifelong devotion to expressing life’s emotions through meaningful lyrics, thoughtfully produced digital music, and visual storytelling.

“Yes I write all the lyrics”

Every Drageda Lyrics release begins with my original lyrics. The words always come first because they are the heart of everything I create. My writing explores life, love, family, hope, resilience, personal growth, mental wellness, nostalgia, and the meaningful moments that shape our lives. Whether the story is joyful, reflective, heartbreaking, or uplifting, my goal is always the same: to write lyrics that help people feel understood, encouraged, inspired, and never alone.

I bring my original lyrics to life through carefully digitally produced music and visual storytelling. Every musical arrangement is developed with patience and purpose, taking the time needed to find the style, instrumentation, rhythm, pacing, atmosphere, and emotional flow that best express the meaning of the words I’ve written. Every creative decision is intentional because I believe the music should strengthen the lyrics, never overshadow them. My objective is to create lyrical works where the words and music complement one another, allowing the emotion and message to be experienced exactly as I envisioned.

My creative journey continues beyond the music. I also personally create the lyric videos and music videos that accompany every Drageda Lyrics release. My YouTube channel showcases these visual storytelling experiences, allowing each lyrical work to be experienced through words, music, and imagery that work together to tell a complete story.

Every Drageda Lyrics release reflects my creative direction from beginning to end. I write the original lyrics, digitally produce the music, and create the accompanying videos. The vocal performances are digitally produced as part of my creative process.

In addition to my work as a lyricist, I am the author of We Will Have Morning Smiles, a published collection spanning more than fifty years of poetry. The book reflects the same passion for meaningful storytelling found throughout my lyrical works and offers another way to experience the thoughts, emotions, and life experiences that continue to inspire my writing.

The name Drageda is an acronym for “Don’t Ride Alone, Get Emotional Daily Assistance.” It reflects the philosophy behind everything I create. Life brings moments of celebration, uncertainty, loss, hope, gratitude, and joy. Through original lyrics, carefully digitally produced music, and visual storytelling, my hope is to offer encouragement, comfort, inspiration, and companionship whenever someone needs it most.

Today, you’ll find Drageda Lyrics on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and many other major music streaming platforms, with my complete collection of visual storytelling releases available on my YouTube channel. Whether you’ve come to read my lyrics, experience the music, watch the videos, or explore my poetry, I hope you’ll discover something that speaks to your heart and stays with you long after each story ends.

Thank you for visiting Drageda.com. I hope my original lyrics, the carefully digitally produced music that brings them to life, and the visual storytelling that completes each release provide comfort, inspiration, reflection, and a reminder that none of us has to travel through life’s emotions alone.
