When you're dealing with music without words, titles are more a means of identification than anything else. What's the point of getting lofty?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.
It's good to have a title that's not just one word. If you're gonna title it, you might as well try and say something.
Titles either come to you at the beginning or they don't come to you at all, I find, and I hate the feeling that I haven't got a title because it usually means that you are left at the end scrambling around trying to find something.
For me, naming bands was the forerunner to really writing lyrics, because I work off titles.
Well, normally we don't think all that hard about titles.
The worst thing is always thinking of titles for records, with some reason behind them, and she just came out with the word, which she thought was a good word, a hard word, and since then we've sort of attached loads of meaning to it.
For the most part, works of mine are untitled. There was a brief period where I had poetic titles for works, and they're embarrassing now. I think, for the most part, it's not something that I have talent for.
I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.
I am a big Beatles fan. And, you know, unbeknownst to anyone, I used to be one. But I have no problems of putting titles and lines from other songs in my songs, because they're great lines and great titles.
I've never wanted to name an album from a song title if I could avoid it because I like it to be a body of work.
