A rhyming/writing thing
I mean, I write it, then I record it.
Anywhat, I just realized that you can put "rhymes with: X" into google and get a answer (where "X" is whatever you wanna rhyme with.)
Then you finish the writing, and your record it, telling us about how here, in this forum.

Yeah, this also avoids having a rhyming dictionary lying about which is embarrassing.
You're basically pretty smart if you have some bad ass regular dictionary sitting around and it says 'Oxford' on it. A thesaurus is of course handy for writing a paper or something, but in some circles might be further evidence of your inarticulate mumbling and bad memory, as if no one had noticed already. A rhyming dictionary, however, confirms that you sir are writing pop songs for Katy Perry.
If I had a nickle for every time one of my punk rock friends gave me shit about my rhyming dictionary . . . I'd probably have about 20 cents. But hey, I made a million dollars writing songs for Katy Perry. But now I hate myself. Oh well, off to gearslutz. . . . .

Or like Cocteau Twins where half of what she sings is just syllables, and the others are just words that the syllables she was singing sounded like.Zacharia Matilda wrote:That's a great example. I also think of Bowie's singing on Low where he doesn't sing actual words...more like chants.
Most of my last album (and parts of several others) used very similar techniques.The Burrough's cut-up method is fun to try too. Leaving things to chance can sometimes take the pressure off from "having to come up with something clever".
My first introduction to scat was a punk band who hadn't yet found a singer/lyricist. It seemed profound. it still seems like a great way to figure out what a half-written song is trying to be. I think in the moment gutterances reroute your Broca Wernicke.
A while back a friend wanted me to try to parse his lyrics line by line, as he knew the vocals were walking the edge of intelligibility. He ended up using a couple of the misheard lines.
