 Post subject: Eisley and CrazinessPosted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 12:12 am 
How come do craziness-related terms appear so often in Eisley songs? Laughing City: Follow me down to the laughing city with people changing all their minds; it's crazy. Golly Sandra: G-g-g-golly Sandra! You've grown up really crazy... Invasion: Call me crazy but they are after us Ten Cent Blues: In a way it's making me crazy A Sight to Behold: Could I be possibly insane I notice this every time I listen to the Eisley playlist  _________________ http://www.eisley-italia.tk !

it's because they are all nuts! hah, actually we once had a thread about recurring words in their songs, like "hands, "lovely," and "wings." _________________

I wish I still had this piece of paper but my dad had written down a few lyrics that are up there to ask me the same thing. 
I also noticed that it's mostly stuff Stacy has written. |

Cause we're living in this real crazy world, that must be it. Or it's just that they use that word a lot. |

To this end, if someone could point me to a good listing of all the Eisley lyrics in one place, I could whip up a quick little Java program to figure out how many songs each word appears in. I bet that would shed from interesting light. _________________

There's also an "isn't it so insane" line on Like The Actors, I figured they left that off Combinations because it would be one madness too many

Songmeanings.com has lyrics up for some of the Baby demos too, if you'd be counting those. _________________

OK, here's what I'm going so far. Let me know if there is anything else I should take into consideration. All songs from SYP. All punctuation (except for commas) removed All "ohhhh"s "ohh"s etc changed to "oh" Ditto for "ah" I'm using the Room Noises lyrics for Telescope Eyes and not counting the other versions. _________________

Writing a program to count up in how many songs any word is used by Eisley. It should be done in maybe an hour or so, if everything goes well. _________________
