I was using the tools under "The Muse" section of the February Album Writing Month site at fawm dot-org.
When I called up a "plot spline," it suggested: “Write a song in first person ("i/we") in which the main character is thinking out loud. the story takes place in the present, and the scene is a moving vehicle."
When I asked for a "struxxure," it gave me “verse-verse-verse” but I wasn’t down with that, so I spun again and got “verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus"
When I asked for a "lyricloud," I got these words: “apple catacomb contemplation dispatched doctor faculties fast flash gloom grim managed mere mystery-haunted nature news north occult open performed regularly sets staring sunder vast whilst ziggurats"
Out of the words generated by its "titular" title generator, I liked the words “some embers” out of "pirates on a b-side,” "ii off,” "this caesar rocks over,” "osama for a pie,” "lie me up,” "resolution tattoo,” "some books,” "i am the bonus,” "back me,” "set in the bait formula,” "racer i,” "some embers,” "rouge starry,” "out in the damnation,” "jamaica (technicolor),” "dedicate intro gal,” "back to bless,” "if i failed bay,” "express in the serpent” and "yn belief returning"
lyrics
The news is grim: it’s her or him
and one must be dispatched
Mystery-haunted, not what we wanted
tiny eggs eventually hatched
Gloom leaves us
staring at those we love,
hoping that they’ll remember
the fire they regularly
inspired, that we’ll get to
carry forth some embers
The occult joys, the managed
sorrows our faculties still permit
sunder contemplation of nature
into sublime and subtly shit
I sure could use an apple
whilst trapped in this catacomb
it might keep a doctor away
but it won’t help me get back home
I’m a singer-songwriter using guitars and keyboards to craft distinctive dispatches from intimate interiors, vast exteriors
and all points in between. Drawing on years of pop, soul, indie, folk and dance-music fandom, I try to turn observations and narratives into succinct sonic snapshots....more
