Members Anderton Posted August 28, 2012 Members Share Posted August 28, 2012 This is a hit, no question about it. But what about the legalities? Do I owe royalties to spammers, or is the following considered "dedicated to the public"?

If anyone wants some abstract lyrics, write 'normal' lyrics, google translate to some other language than back to english!! GOLD!! Yeah, but then you have to make it rhyme again.... Unless the music is such that nobody notices it doesn't rhyme. But that can be even harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarPlayerFL Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Are you sure these aren't Jon Anderson lyrics to an unreleased and leftover piece of music for Yes' Tales From Topographic Oceans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 Holy crap, this is amazing! If anyone wants some abstract lyrics, write 'normal' lyrics, google translate to some other language than back to english!! GOLD!! I was working for a while with a publisher friend of mine to provide websites for poets and for the demonstration site I took some lorem ipsum text into English from Latin and broke it into short phrases I broke onto separate lines. Instant modern poetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JeffLearman Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 I frequent a keyboard forum at another site and there's a guy there who posts stuff like that, except it's about keyboards or multiband compressors. I suspect the guy actually does have some good ideas, but he just can't seem to focus on a single one long enough to write a cohesive sentence (let alone a paragraph or OMG a full post!)

Members UstadKhanAli Posted August 29, 2012 Members Share Posted August 29, 2012 That's gotta be something from a stream-of-consciousness writing exercise from an English Lit. student at Brown University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted August 30, 2012 Members Share Posted August 30, 2012 I frequent a keyboard forum at another site and there's a guy there who posts stuff like that, except it's about keyboards or multiband compressors. I suspect the guy actually does have some good ideas, but he just can't seem to focus on a single one long enough to write a cohesive sentence (let alone a paragraph or OMG a full post!)I especially like the BB post genre of Internet Manifestos: The all-encompassing explanations of everything (sometimes just everything on a given subject but often, you know, that spills over), often involving cosmic principles, infinite harmonies, sometimes fractals (or the popular conception thereof), and, of course, quantum mechanics. Typically from someone with some fundamental misunderstandings of all those fields and a superficial view of whatever foreground topic he may have. Now, mind you, I'm certainly one of the most garrulous (and faster typing) guys around, but, well... at least I know what paragraph breaks are...

Members saturn1 Posted August 30, 2012 Members Share Posted August 30, 2012 I thought I recognized the style, if not the exact text. How did you get that effect on the disclaimer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BlueGreene Posted August 31, 2012 Members Share Posted August 31, 2012 The title clearly suggests comprehension of what the post involves. Or should I say: the title tyder clearly the understanding of what Stillingen means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
