procrastination project

[extrapenguin]

Out of curiosity, I took my song library and tossed all the titles in an online n-gram analyzer for housekeeping of future music posts. (Procrastination levels: over 9000.) No four grams, but bi- and trigrams, as well as a frequency analysis of words/unigrams.

The top words were "the (177)", "of (77)", and "to (33)" which, well, no surprise; this is, after all, a mostly English corpus. Scrolling down, the most used actual "content" words were

not quite peak metal stereotype but

world (9)
dark (9)
sun (8)
light (8)
night (7)
never (7)
time (7)
heart (7)
call (6)
dead (6)
love (6)
fire (6)
blood (6)
storm (5)
die (5)
hell (5)
ghost (5)
darkness (5)
black (5)
home (5)

Bigrams: apart from all the "of the (22)" stuff, perhaps the most me thing was "on mars (2)".

Everything with 3+ incidences that's not just prepositions

the dark (8)
i am (6)
the night (6)
the light (5)
the sun (4)
of time (4)
the heart (4)
the world (4)
the storm (3)
through the (3)
you will (3)
we are (3)
the wind (3)
the moon (3)
the end (3)

Trigrams:
in the dark (3) (Dancing/Shine/Shot in the Dark)
of the night (3) (In the Middle/Magic/Opus of the Night)
ghost in the (2) (Rain/Woods)
i am the (2) (Fire/Storm)
into the light (2) (two songs with this exact title)
into the night (2) (two songs with this exact title)
of the world (2) (Returning to the End/On Top of the World
stand my ground (2) (two songs with this exact title)
the end of (2) (The End of an Era/Returning to the End of the World)
the path, pt (2) (The Path, pt 1; The Path, pt 2)

(There are other full duplicate title songs in my library, but as one-word titles, they won't show up in this analysis.)

...okay, maybe I should do something a little bit less useless.
