Shuffle Poetry
I saw a pretty cool idea on Tumblr, thought it might be a neat thing to do over here
Put your music on shuffle, and make a poem out of the first line of the first 5 songs that come on, in order. If you want to, throw in a link to some or all of the songs (being aware of the appropriateness of the content in whatever video or audio you link)
So, for example:
I've been trying to call
Tell me what you want
Don't talk to strangers
One look from you, and I'm on that faded love
I get my kicks

Re: Shuffle Poetry
Love it!!!!
(How exactly are defining "first line"? Up to the first stanza or the first bit of the song that's supposed to rhyme...? I'mma go with first rhyme I suppose...until proven wrong.)
I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel
One pill makes you large and one pill makes you small
We're caught in a trap, I can't walk out,
Well it was nearly summer, we sat on your roof
Warden threw a party in the county jail

Re: Shuffle Poetry
I'd say do it however you want, tbh! But the intention was basically, if the lyrics written down would look like this:
Halfway through doing this one I fully forgot I was doing this post and missed a couple songs tuned out Whoops
Until your breathing stops
Roll the window down
Rhythm is a dancer
Don't panic, no not yet
In my left hand there is the familiar
You would go with the top line of text, i.e. "We're no strangers to love"We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

Re: Shuffle Poetry
(It's actually rather amusing how well the completed verse comes out....what makes it even better is that eventually they'll collectively rhyme together )
Got out of town on a boat for the Southern Islands
I got shot through a space not long ago,
Lord, I was born a rambling man
Spider-Man, Spider-Man does whatever a spider can
Of all the money, that e'er I spent

Re: Shuffle Poetry
These all come from my playlist of popular songs this year that I like, just for a change of pace
I just pretend that I'm in the dark
Walk in your rainbow paradise
You're the one that I've been waiting for
Cut my heart about one, two times
I've always been the one to say the first goodbye

Re: Shuffle Poetry
What's new, Pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I used to be such a sweet sweet thing
He wants to dream like a young man
Leave your kids behind
(Bahah, none of these make a lick of sense together xD)

Re: Shuffle Poetry
^ I dunno, you could make a decent argument for some kind of midlife crisis going on there
Hast du etwas Zeit für mich?
Hey Gloria, are you standing close to edge?
Show me how to lie
It's you and me
Caught out cold
Not sure if that one works on any level either

Re: Shuffle Poetry
^In retrospect, you're right, hahah.
Yours makes sense as well, as a duet, albeit partially in Deutsch
Talking away,
No one knows what it's like
Maybe it's too late
She's got a smile that it seems to me
I'm tired of puttin' up with your sober ways
(This one started to flow, then George Thorogood had to talk about inebriation, as usual )

Re: Shuffle Poetry
My heart is beating from me
One look from you
Look who's digging their own grave
She's an extraordinary girl
I was gonna say something that would solve all our problems
I'm always tempted to include the ads half just out of annoyance, but this one turned out decently enough that I didn't want to ruin it with "keep the bathroom fresh for whoever's got next"

Re: Shuffle Poetry
Lol, hm, I suppose if the next song was just an instrumental that would work, hah
Welcome to the jungle
In a little café
On the road of experience,
It's the time of the season
Spring was never waiting for us, girl

Re: Shuffle Poetry
^ Okay, but that verse is actually pretty cool!
君は今何を考えてる? Say the truth
I can hear you, but I won't
Where have all the good men gone
Oh that shadow creeping
I guess I have to face
First line means something along the lines of "What are you thinking now? Say the truth"

Re: Shuffle Poetry
^Neat!
I low-key love the randomosity of this.
You've got a friend in me
You fill up my senses
You talk too much
My love's an ocean
Mama, take this badge off of me

Re: Shuffle Poetry
I never thought that I would find a way out
Goodbye to the summer
I ain't tryna be cool like you
Starry nights, city lights coming down over me
I just pretend that I'm in the dark
I like this one!

Re: Shuffle Poetry
^It flows quite nicely together!
And now, the end is near
There's a lady who's sure
A long, long time ago,
What do you get when you fall in love?
Ohhh, a rose is a beautiful flower
Almost had something going, then Elvis Costello had to pop in and throw off the vibe

Re: Shuffle Poetry
^ Still pretty coherent though!
The animals break out their cages
We were young and drinking in the park
One look, twice sore
Tastes like strawberries on a summer evening
The paradise of our minds
