Frequently asked
What music is good for songs that are mostly spoken?
The songs that measure as the best fit are “Donda Chant” by Kanye West, “Tracy” by Mogwai, “Georgie Porgie” by Traditional. Vocal style measured as spoken word rather than sung. Every pick on this page passed the same measured filter: spoken word only.
Why these songs and not a playlist?
Because they were chosen by measurement, not by title. Each song in our catalog carries measured dimensions — dynamic range, sudden changes, tempo, texture, vocal style, predictability — and this page keeps only the songs whose numbers fit songs that are mostly spoken. The qualifying numbers are printed under every song.
What did you rule out?
Anything outside the filter: spoken word only. A song that is beautiful but has one sudden peak is still ruled out, because the peak is the problem.
Ratings are model-assisted, derived from each song's documented musical properties and reviewed by hand; we do not analyse audio waveforms. How we measure.
