Stuck Writing Lyrics? Maybe iOS 8's Autocomplete Feature Can Help

Songwriting can be tricky when the perfect word is just out of reach, a sentiment that songwriter Jonathan Mann must know all too well. Mann has been writing a song a day for over five years, which is no small feat.

For one of his most recent compositions, Mann took a backseat as a lyricist and let his iPhone 6 do the talking. Using only the autocomplete feature on his phone, Jonathan Mann managed to write an astonishingly catchy tune!

Of course, the resulting song doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it sure is fun to see how artists use new technology as it comes along. Who knows, maybe one of these random strings of words will inspire Mann or another songwriter to create a beautiful lyric down the road.
