There can be many triggers that could inspire you to write a song... but what if you're wanting to write a song, and are having trouble finding the inspiration you need?

Jump start your creativity using the Title Generator feature in Band-in-a-Box®.

I love this feature - it delivers some beautiful results!

To access this feature:

Mac: select Edit | Chords | Auto-Generate Song Title menu command (control+shift+S). The song title will appear in the Title window! Repeat the Auto-Generate Song Title command until the program comes up with a suitable title for your song. Band-in-a-Box® will keep generating new titles for as long as it takes to get the right one.

Windows: click on the "Generate Title" button within the main screen of the program and you can choose to "auto-generate" a song title which will appear right in the Title field of your song, or for a more varied selection choose to "generate multiple titles" and you'll be taken to the Title Generator window, which can generate a list of 50 song titles for you!

I've just done this, and won't bother list all 50 here - but the "top 10" I've chosen from my generated list are:
Eloquent Laugh
Statuesque Luck
Considering a Rainbow
Brief Fling, Acknowledged
Something for a Sandpiper
Happy Runaround
Cheatin' Skies
Then Came a Rose
The Mention of My Love
Eternal Raincheck

Give it a try!

The resource for this feature can also be edited, allowing you to customize the results.
(to do this, review the file TITL1.TXT within the BB Data folder.)
I've used this plenty times, even for song I've shared in the Showcase, and none were any wiser - that's how good this thing is at the job! cool
Been there - done that also.
SNAP
Thanks for pointing this out. Several of your top 10 are surprisingly (maybe I shouldn't be surprised) evocative. I will definitely try out this feature.
Thanks. I like this resource. Get's the ball roll'n. Goes well with the "writing from a title" (Pat Pattison) workshop that was mentioned above posting. As it has been stated, the title is the DNA or the paint that drips into the verses/chorus-- so a great way to start

Title prompt: "As the river flows"
Resulting song title: Fishing the Shallows (as the Clyde River Flows)
