Fun With Word Clouds
As I work on demos for the next album, I’ve been thinking a lot about lyrics, naturally. Then I decided to have a little fun with the lyrics on our releases so far, and make word clouds out of them. Here’s what happens when you plop all 40 Sci-Fi Romance original songs into a word […]
