Musical poetry!

Snagged from sw0rdy

Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs.
Post the poem that results.
The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.


This is my word


Another stop sign, another headlight
I’m staring at tears on the pages.
Drowning in you, asking nothing, aching,
If I said I was sorry would you forget the things I’ve done?

No, you don't have to wear your best fake smile
The branches have traded their leaves for white sleeves
I’ve waited a hundred years
I’ve been left out alone like a damn criminal.

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Oh quiet down, I've had enough
Drifting apart, getting harder to hold you
I’ll take you with me over the water,

Killed by drones
Oh I think I landed in a world I hadn’t seen.

If you're not the one for me,
Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand.
I've got a really bad disease
Put your coat on, this city trembles.

I will leave my heart at the door
Sleepless nights and endless days.

This came out pretty cool. Very sad though. I had to google the Sam Smith lyrics because I've seen them more than once today on people's lists. I love the line about quiet down, I've had enough.

If anyone had asked me how that song started I wouldn't have been able to tell you! But I was surprised how well this flowed... :D

That came out really well, it's amazing how mashing up lines actually works!

IKR? I only skipped one track on the shuffle and that was only because it came up with a classical orchestral piece which had no words! LOL

I dunno, watching you try and create words out of the notes would've been fun, it would've sounded like the batman theme :D

Ha, we had a couple of the same songs!
