I'm a jazz composer and bass player and I've been writing a ton lately but I have ZERO names for anything I've written recently. How do I name shit? I'm terrible at it.
I remember Mingus saying this once:
>The name of this next one is... "All The Things You Could Be By Now If Sigmund Freud's Wife Was Your Mother"... it doesn't mean anything
The lesson is: Don't think a lot about the name
Composition No. #
just pick some random thing and name them all after that thing
like you have an album named "Octopoda" and then song titles like "Atlantic Pygmy", "California Two-Spot", "East Pacific Red", etc.
Shit example but yeah, have fun with it

Songs named after food sound tastier
It's a bonus if it's a tasty groove too
