There is a huge space of possible songs, but the space of good songs is much more constrained. For a song to be good, it must match human psychology in certain ways. It must have sound patterns that humans find appealing. It may have lyrics that humans find meaningful. And it must be somewhat original.

What if most of the good songs have already been sung?

Creativity seems like magic, but it isn’t. Creativity is a search process. There is a space of possible songs that is defined by human psychology and our ability to make sounds. The artist is an explorer who searches through that space looking for good songs. I’m not saying that creativity is just a matter of searching. It requires good taste to select a good point in the space. It requires technical skill to manifest that point in a work of art. But the biggest challenge is simply searching through the space of possibilities. That’s what makes it seem like magic.

Somehow the creator finds a good point in a vast space of bad ones, like finding a needle in a haystack. A good search strategy helps, and so does luck. But the most important factor is the existence of good points to discover. If most of the good points have already been discovered, finding a new one is hard.

The information revolution has given us information abundance, including an abundance of art. Over the past few decades, it has become much easier to produce and distribute music. I don’t have hard data to support this conjecture, but I would guess that the majority of all music ever created was produced in the last two decades. People have been doing a lot of searching in song-space, and they don’t seem to be finding much. We could be running out of good songs that haven’t already been discovered.

Shakatak / Night Birds

We got fire
We got passion
To make everyone
Wanna lose it
And we’re handsome
We are lovers on the dance floor
Feel the body move

And; I was right there next to you
Dancing with a groove
I know, I can feel it
But then you stopped, left me in the dust
So I followed you with the beat

There’s a gnome on the dance floor
Dancing with my baby
He got the moves, he got the groove
He’s smurfing
There’s a gnome on the dance floor
Dancing with my baby
She loves a gnome, and now I’m hurting

At the bar with a honey
She got hair like me, kinda curly
We made out, she tastes like passion
No gnome in sight; let’s go bag this bunny

Now I see she was made for me
Like chocolate to my sweet vanilla feast
But then she stopped, I hoped she wouldn’t walk away
She pointed at me and said:

There’s a gnome on the dance floor
Dancing with my baby
He got the moves, now he got my lady
Now that’s two more ladies; wait, this feels shady
That gnome stole my chance again

Yea

Take it to the left, take it to the right (x2)
Put your hands up, give a little spice (ugh)

Look at that gnome (hey)
Got a dance I’ve never seen
He can pop it and lock it with a left-hook socket; such a ladies’ gnome
Got them flowing like a faucet
It’s hard to be mean when he’s living your dream
Just a gnome on scene looking for his mushroom queen

Now I’m dancing all alone
I just dance like back at home
Who needs a lover when you’re seen as a brother?
But it feels like; feels like; I’m just another man

While I’m dancing by myself
Feeling just like an elf on a shelf
But I felt a tug coming from under my belt
Ring the bell

’Cause I see a gnome; she looks at home
She’s got a dress, beautiful; looks like mushroom red?
First little mama I’ve seen
Little fairy wants my peen
Little small, but that’s never stopped me (dancing)

There’s a gnome on the dance floor
She’s dancing with body
She’s two feet tall, but I don’t care about that
She’s a gnome on the dance floor; gnomes know how to party
Maybe tonight I’ll show her my moves

There’s a gnome on the.
There’s a gnome on the dance floor!
