After discussing that everything is a remix, and that nothing is original, I decided to see if I could randomly compose a lyrics of a song using several different segments of different songs by different artists. I by random choose the lyrics and wrote them separately  on cue cards then randomly arranged them to see if they were cohesive.

The lyrics were picked up by the following songs:

“Look What They’ve Done to My Song” – Melanie Saflea

“I Lied” – Nicki Minaj

“The Crying Game” – Nicki Minaj

“Someone Else” – Miley Cyrus

“Drive” – Miley Cyrus

“Video Girl” – FKA twigs

“Pendulum” – FKA twigs

“Give Up” – FKA twigs

“National Anthem” – Lana Del Rey

“Tropico poem” – Lana Del Rey

“Tears Dry On Their Own” – Amy Winehouse

 

The final product reads as such:

 

“If you’re looking for love, know that love don’t live here anymore,

‘cause what happens if I fall in love then you cut me loose.

All I want is to love and be loved,

I know that sometimes you wish I’d go away, away

But I’d wished that you know that I’m here to stay, stay

 

I always knew I never wanted this,

I never thought it could happen.

You acted like you wanted this but you led me on.

I shouldn’t play myself again

I need somebody to hold me

Just nod your head and give up.

Overdose and dying on our drugs and our love,

You’re gonna get yourself broke one day.

 

And I’m coming undone, cause the tears don’t end,

If the people are buying tears then I’ll be rich someday.

So lonely trying to be yours,

But maybe I’ll be alright.

I’m hurting myself.

 

Hold me close,

Don’t let me go,

I hope tell me now this is not the end.

It could feel like paradise, paradise lost.”
