Song Name Generator? - for those who're lost (like me)

Several Species of Terbium Gathered Together in a Friendly Jonathan Judge and Grooving with a Mighty Magnetic Monopole

I love that generator

[Mr. Tunes]

I use numbers (generally yes, the date of the project) when the tune was developed with no real inspiration. Sometimes I'll rename those later, if they had no public airing (or sometimes even if they did -lol)

(if you cared)

i have been envisioning using a system of something like filemaker pro to name songs that have no real inspiration(or even if the name is really vague and stupid). then you'd build a database where each song has a longer description of what it sounds like and a mp3 file play button right in the spreadsheet system so you can locate your doodles fast.

splat might be the closest thing i can think of on the free market

' With the click of a button, you have a song title which matches the atmosphere of your song perfectly. If not, there's probably something wrong about your song.

I keep a list of phrases I find appealing.

Banana Pepper Outbreak
Sitting On a Goldmine
What Are You Doing Here?
Alex Lost His Puppy
Fruit Cake
Whisper Touch
Rainbow Corsage
Take Your Pick


I'll pick up phrases from books, magazines or TV shows & write them down. Then I'll listen to the music while perusing the list. Something will usually jump out at me & that's the name of the song.

I've written songs with names such as...

He Missed The Tag
Starts With Drums
Jimmy Can't Find His Keys
The Short Sad Story of Ron's Troubled Life

You get the idea - If you can write a song, you can come up with a decent name.

excellent idea...
I formally use a database for that, but I get lazy and I would use short snips of each song that I always failed to update lol

er... did anyone mention we have a built-in song name generator in this thread

[gravehill]

Yay, if I went Proge now I could still release the ever-green album with titles:

1 2:31 Pointless, Sneering Holmium no. 2
2 8:16 In With the Dirty Magma
3 5:32 Blow the Wasted Neutron
4 2:28 Rhapsody in Loving
5 7:27 From the Soundtrack to "Rue McLanahan and the Teacher"
6 0:04 I Want to Imply the Burning, Green-stripey Nickel
7 0:22 Talking to the Friendly Gorgon
8 3:15 Let's Rock
9 3:51 The Emperor of the Friendly Steve Burns
10 1:51 Talking to the Vowel
11 3:56 Extend, Vengeance
12 8:07 I Survey, and You Turn Into the Homely Nozzle

If you have something you have to express in your music (emotions, narrative, socio-political statement, mathematical ideas, music theory experiments, motif, theme..etc), you probably have a name in mind already. If you didn't and were just improvising, then after you're done, the result should elicit some kind of emotional or intellectual response in you--you name the track according to that response. If your track does not elicit any kind of emotional or intellectual response, then you have to ask yourself if the track is worth keeping in the first place.

I don't really agree. I often have emotional and intellectual (or whatever you want to call it) responses to music that I don't have words for. That's one of the things I like about music.

Then maybe look into learning a bit about creative writing? It helps you translate your emotional/intellectual responses into words.

If I wanted to write, I'd be a writer.

Music has a way of getting to places where words haven't gone yet, and that's really one of the things I like about music, like I said.
I think it's related to why I like to travel to odd places where I don't speak the language or recognize the money or generally get things. And why I like to get stoned now and again. I like wordless things. I'm probably not completely off the autism scale (my son's autistic), and I'm beginning to see a pattern in how I like things that aren't spoiled by words. I don't think the creative writing course would help at all, I think it would f**k it up. Music is my magic.

ymmv.
