Using Wordle, I created a word cloud from lyrics of four of my songs (1, 2, 3, 4)

The results are kind of interesting.

I got this idea from visiting echo's blog.

I'd like to see others do the same and post them here.

But, I've attached a screen shot if you don't want to go to all the trouble.



Also: If it wasn't clear, words used more often are bigger.  Words used less often are smaller.  It would be interesting to do this with all of my lyrics.

Facinating Ted. Monster, monsters and kill are worryingly large. Or reassuringly, depending on your perspective.

Doesn't everyone write songs about their family?

I tried the lyrics to "In My Head", a song about a nut job that's ready to go postal on his (You pick the victim).
