How Song Lyrics Generators Can Inspire Ideas Without Replacing Songwriting Craft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the nice things about music technology is the new tools it provides for songwriters. Song lyrics generators are one of these tools that can be useful for inspiration and for coming up with new ideas.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the moment, there are three kinds of song lyrics generator websites: The websites that generate lyrics based on words you input, the ones that generate lyrics based on multiple choice answers, and the ones that will generate lyrics about a random subject matter at the click of a button. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a professional songwriter, I was highly suspicious that song lyrics generators would be sophisticated enough to generate complete songs. However, this does not render their services completely useless. Song lyrics generators can be useful for two reasons:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, if you want to write a song but you don\u2019t have a concept, you can use these lyric generators to brainstorm some initial song ideas. Perhaps you will catch a line that will spark an idea to write more. Or perhaps a theme will inspire you to write something based on it. Some of these song lyrics generator websites also have song title generators. So if you prefer to write songs starting with a title, you could benefit from that component.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, song lyrics generators can help you familiarize yourself with musical styles that you have never written in before. Most of these services are Artificial-Intelligence-based, which means the sites generate lyrics based on algorithms that are specialized for different musical genres, such as country, rap, rock, or pop. If you would like to write a country song, but you don\u2019t know where to start, you can take a look at how the AI algorithm interprets country music in a song lyrics generator. Then you can try to find out which song or group of songs that algorithm is based on, and you can continue to venture off to listen to more songs in that style to do your research.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went through a few different song lyrics generator websites and compared the results. It was quite a ride, so get ready to read some interesting lyric choices by AI! Disclaimer: these should all be used as learning exercises; at no point you should use these lyrics! Not because they belong to me, but because a few of them belong to other people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Song-Lyrics-Generator.org.uk <\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This song lyrics generator site generates lyrics based on different genres and the songwriting styles of different artists. In order to generate song lyrics, it will ask you to fill in some information like: \u201cAn adjective that describes you well\u201d or \u201cSomething you might say to a lover.\u201d Based on these answers, it will generate song lyrics for you. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried the \u201cTaylor Swift song generator\u201d and this is what I got:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this is me <\/em>standing<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em>
Standing in front of you saying, “<\/em>Hello!<\/em><\/strong>“<\/em>
And I go back to <\/em>November<\/em><\/strong> all the time.<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you might have noticed, this is based on her song \u201cBack to December.\u201d The original lyrics are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this is me <\/em>swallowing my pride<\/em><\/strong>
Standing in front of you, saying<\/em> \u201cI’m sorry for that night\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
And I go back to <\/em>December <\/em><\/strong>all the time<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This song lyrics generator basically takes various songs of Taylor Swift and recreates the verses and choruses using different verbs, nouns, adverbs, and adjectives. Since the algorithm copies her style, this could be a method to learn about the signature moves of songwriters. Then, based on these exercises, you can develop your own songs. But like I said, it\u2019s not a good idea to just take these lyrics, wholesale: you\u2019re likely to get called out for plagiarism. Remember, this is a songwriter who has copyrighted phrases<\/em> like \u201cthis sick beat,\u201d not just songs! So be extra careful here!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another useful feature on this website is its \u201csong title generator.\u201d A lot of songwriters have trouble coming up with a catchy title for their song, even after they finish all of the other components. I have a song I\u2019ve been working on that I tried it out for, and this website provided some interesting results to consider after I input some information about my song. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the song title, the prompt asks you to input information such as \u201ca singular noun featured in your song,\u201d \u201ca plural noun,\u201d \u201can adjective,\u201d and  \u201ca verb in present tense.\u201d I had written a song about progress in society that I used for this one, and here are the song title suggestions I got:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFour Deep Seeds\u201d
\u201cGrow, Grow, Grow\u201d
\u201cRhythm of the Progress\u201d
\u201cSmells Like a Deep Progress\u201d
\u201cI Can\u2019t Get No (Progress)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not exactly titles I would use, but going through this exercise and thinking this way could inspire you to think of your own winning title when you\u2019re running out of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to Alper Tuzcu on Spotify<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. SongLyricsGenerator.com<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This website, which has the clearest URL for its purposes, comes with a variety of prompts such as: \u201cbreak up song,\u201d \u201clove song,\u201d \u201ca song expressing nostalgia for a time,\u201d and \u201ca song expressing nostalgia for a place.\u201d 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought this last one was interesting, so I decided to give it a go. The prompt asks you for information such as: \u201cDescribe the best trip you\u2019ve ever been on\u201d and \u201cDescribe the scenery outside.\u201d This is what I got:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse One:<\/strong>
Fly
Don\u2019t ask them why
Spain
For amber waves of grain<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:<\/strong>
It was magical
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I usually fly and then take a bus
And the rain came hard<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was certainly much better than the Taylor Swift song prompt, so I also tried the “love song\u201d prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse One:<\/strong>
I don\u2019t like to be vigilant
A world with no more night
Learning experiences
Through the days and nights<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:<\/strong>
Cooking
In connection to the sun
Italian food
I can feel how much you love me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse Two:<\/strong>
The beach
But all I know is everything\u2019s going to be alright
Until it lasts
I\u2019ve never been this close to anyone or anything<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one was not as convincing as the nostalgia prompt\u2014\u201ccooking, in connection to the sun, Italian food\u201d?\u2014but perhaps it could work nicely as a brainstorming exercise. You might get a line or a word that catches your attention, which might inspire you to write something original. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Lyrics.com<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The song lyrics generator on this site\u2014which also serves as a database for existing lyrics\u2014features prompts that come in the format of multiple choice questions, rather than asking you to type your own answer. You can pick from a variety of genres, so the multiple choice format can be a suitable way to learn about a genre in which you\u2019ve never written before. For instance, if you pick \u201ccountry,\u201d you get a storyline like this one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up overshadowed by flat plains
Where the mountains, spoke wisdom
Scenes of wild horses running untamed
Oh how I wished it were me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got myself together and built a still
In good weather I worked the mill
But come the snow the woods called me
Down the long rows, how I wished I were free<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Lucy left me, got no place to go
No one waiting, No one home<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choices are for instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up overshadowed by flat plains<\/strong>
Where the mountains, spoke wisdom<\/strong>
Scenes of wild horses running untamed<\/strong>
Oh how I wished it were me<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be rewritten with another selection of words, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up overshadowed by oak trees<\/strong>
Where the books<\/strong>, spoke of the sun<\/strong>
Scenes of wild wind<\/strong> running fearlessly<\/strong>
Oh how I wished it were the bumble bee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song lyrics generator on Lyrics.com could be useful to get an initial idea of country songwriting. Also, it is helpful to see how a storyline progresses in a country song, in an \u201cintroduction,\u201d \u201cdevelopment,\u201d and \u201cending\u201d structure. But seeing it all laid out like this makes songwriting seem almost like Mad Libs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. DeepBeat.org<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This <\/strong>one is a rap lyric generator and it works differently than most. If you don\u2019t have a song idea, the generator can suggest a line for you and you can keep going from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can actually type in as many lines as you like and then ask for a recommendation for the next line. The lines that are generated on this website are focused on maintaining an internal rhythm and a rhyme scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. BoredHumans.com<\/a><\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This website generates songs randomly every time you click on the Generate Lyrics<\/em> button. The lyrics range in a variety of different topics and styles. If you would like to write a song and are not sure where to start, this could be a tool to try to get some ideas for your brainstorming session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a song called \u201cDon\u2019t Blame Me\u201d on this website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 1:<\/strong>
Don’t blame me
You know you got what you need
‘Cause you deserve the best
You know there’s something missing
For you to be searching for
When nothing’s gonna bring you back<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus:<\/strong>
Will sing songs about you
So if you know what’s good for you
Then you might get what you need
Don’t blame me you<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one feels too generic and not very specific, probably because it\u2019s generated for anyone who visits the website at the click of a button. Perhaps you could catch a word or a phrase that could inspire you to write about something though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Song lyrics generators could be most useful for brainstorming ideas at the initial stage of the lyric writing process. If you have a concept and some keywords that you want to start with, but you don’t know where to go next, the generators could be useful in suggesting more ideas to develop your concept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, most of the songs generated have no genuine storyline and they do not sound very convincing. They can actually sound a little generic. So, keep in mind that they cannot replace the actual craft of writing lyrics. You should also be careful if you are taking direct lines from any generators, as they could potentially get you in trouble if they resemble some famous songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Writing lyrics is a hefty task that needs constant development and editing in order to work best with music. Using song lyrics generators can be a fun and quick exercise, but it cannot replace the real art and craft of lyric writing. This only comes with spending time studying the work of great composers and songwriters and, of course, practice your own writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
