We need a Stevie song generator
 

Josh's post in the Christine forum:

got me thinking. We've got an obvious crisis on our hands here. We all want Stevie to release a new solo album at some point, but she claims not to have written more than one song in over eighteen months. Now, we can all sit around and cry about not having any new Stevie music, or we can take matters into our own hands!

We need to create our own Stevie song generator!

Now unfortunately, I know nothing about writing computer programs, but if somebody who does wants to help me out on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Here's what we need:

First, we need to compile a list of all the nouns, verbs and adjectives that we want to see in our new Stevie songs. Here are my lists; feel free to add to them:

NOUNS: Stars. Stairs. Gate. Door. Garden. Moon. Love. Heart. Room. Eyes. Song. Angel. Ghost. Everything. Night. Wind. Lady. Woman. Feeling. Universe. Ocean. Poet. Dream. World. Prisoner. Friend. Thing. Crystal. Boots. Wing. Storm. Child. Sister. Gypsy. Queen. Candle. Shadow. Feeling. Freedom. Sea. Mother. Father. Destiny. Day. Mirror. Window. Hand. Light. Something. Castle. Home. Girl. Escape. (Plus the names of various colors, fabrics, birds, precious stones, flowers and seasons.)

VERBS: Love. See. Think. Run. Go. Turn. Leave. Laugh. Shine. Touch. Lose. Have. Take. Promise. Say. Try. Give. Be. Become. Seem. Stay. Tell. Change. Sing. Call. Dream. Haunt. Believe. Stand. Begin. Look. Stare. Walk. Grow. Wonder. Wish. Miss. Sleep. Show. Dance. Stop. Have. Do. (Plus all modal verbs, of course.)

ADJECTIVES: Pretty. Older. Calm. Deadly. Bright. Wrong. Alone. Softest. Frozen. Dark. Good. Wild. (That's all I can come up. Stevie's not really much for adjectives. Again, colors and fabrics can be included here.)

MISCELLANEOUS WORDS AND PHRASES: Well. He says. She says. In love. Baby. Very. Just like. Down. Deep inside. All the way. Real. Honey. Anymore. Right. Still. Ooh.

Okay, so now that we've got our nouns, verbs and adjectives, they just need to be inserted into various grammatical structures, mostly simple declarative statements, but with special emphasis on questions and free-standing prepositional phrases and subordinating conjunctions. Surely there must be a way to create a fairly simple computer program that will do this.

So let's hop to it, people! We'll have this album written in no time!

EDIT: Okay, I'm going to start adding people's suggestions to my original post as they come up. Even if we can't write a computer program, with enough words, we should be able to suss out these songs ourselves.

you need to add "stand" or "standing" or "stood" to your list of verbs.

and you need to add "well" to the beginning of several random lines, and also in the lines themselves :nod:

Also you need to add the word "baby"

Just throw it in there alot. LoL.

i love your sig pic!!!:nod: ~

This is an interesting thread:nod:

Nouns: Gypsy. Candle. Darkness. Lace. Shadow. Stairs. Freedom. Jewel names (Diamond, Sapphire, etc.).

Verbs: Leave. Stay.

Adj: WILD. Better. Very.

Very good. :nod:

All right, well I was hoping more people would reply with suggestions by now, but I think we've got a pretty good pool of words, so let's try it out, shall we? Everybody write a song using the words and phrases we've come up with, and we'll pick out the best twelve and mail them to Stevie so she can get working on a new album.

Here's my song, it's called "Gypsy Sister":

Well he says "Think about the stars, gypsy sister"
And she says "Promise me you'll give me everything,
I am a sapphire ocean lady... I am a deadly blue green storm
And my shadow haunts the prison of your soul... it is a frozen thing"
Well he turns to leave... well she says "Baby, don't you run out that door"
And he sees her crystal boots shine in the room like never before
He says "Well baby... you are my wild dream poet
You are just like the softest angel ghost I've ever known"
She says "Well you are not my friend now baby
And I feel this universe is not my own"
"Well baby" he says "Baby baby... well you will never be alone
Do it baby for the world, even if this freedom is not your own"
Well and he turns and well he leaves
And she says "Baby you were very very good...
Very good, you, baby, were
But my bright heart is also very very good..."
Well the gypsy she got older... until she became part of the wind
She was a wing child of the moon now baby... but she will never... love... again...

Absolutely hilarious! Well done! :laugh:

I'm not creative enough to do this, but you guys are awesome. :nod:

You don't have to be creative! That's the whole point! I've already given you all the words you have to use! You just have to supply pronouns and prepositions and articles!

OMG, you are so right on target there. Are you sure you don't write for
Stevie? ;) You made me smile. Thank you.

I know you have ocean in your list but I would add "sea" and "red" and "velvet" and "dove", "mother", "father" , "sunflower", "destiny", "blue" ,"days", "mirror",
"white", "black", "web", "spider"... oh I could go on and on.

This is fun.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: This was such a great idea.
