Show HN: Keywords2lyrics – Automatic Songwriting from Keywords

Hi, I made a website for helping in the songwriting process. You feed it with a phrase or a few words and it writes a song inspired on these. If you can try it and let me know your feedback it would be great.

A few technical details: It's a GPT-2 model trained with around 20k songs that I scraped and then extracted its keywords.

Very interesting. It's pretty good with song structure, formatting, themes, etc... The one major thing it seems to be missing is rhythm and rhyme.

I can imagine decorating the data with a pronunciation dictionary, so that you can coerce some better phonology from the model... There's a pretty good dataset from Carnegie Mellon here:

This was an absolute blast! Very "exquisite corpse" at 0.9. But what the other comments said: allow minor editing. Also maybe insertion of new keyword directly into a song during edit phase.
