I’m sure there are some songwriters out there who’d beg to differ, but writing lyrics is the easiest thing on the planet, assuming you know where to look on the internet. Saturday night, my roommates, a friend of ours and I recorded two tracks in the span of about 15 minutes. This was the elapsed time from idea to pressing the stop button on GarageBand. How’d we pull it off? Three words: Random poetry generator.
If you search those words on Google, you get about 88,000 results. we chose one coded by a couple of Stanford students, Poetry CreatOR2, which allowed us to enter a subject before composing a nine-line poem about it. Or at least, kind of about it. Actually, it was hardly ever about it, which led to a song about nachos that referenced the delicious snack food once before veering off into a reference to Tipper Gore’s bosom. Still, using this method of writing and recording music, I think we plan to put out an EP next weekend.
