Instrumental Research
Music is a combination of different sounds to exude harmony and emotions. Sounds can be from any source, but lyrics are only related to the voice.
We are currently passing unadulterated music snippets into Google Cloud Speech (GCS) and the accuracy is unsatisfactory. We believe that a major cause is the background instrumentals, GCS is expecting only a voice.
I will be testing the following songs:
- ...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
- Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
- Lose Yourself by Eminem
- Royals by Lorde
- Starboy by The Weeknd
Chorus from Genius
My loneliness is killing me
(And I) I must confess I still believe (still believe)
When I'm not with you, I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Chorus from Original
Chorus from Vocals
01/05: my loneliness is killing me

Verse 1 from Genius
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?"
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean
As she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
07/08: dancers ice cream
01/08: she was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
02/08: it don't matter what do you mean
03/08: who would dance on the floor in the round
04/08: then I have no one
05/08: is it round
06/08: show me her name was Billie Jean supposed to sing
07/08: heavy hitter with Icing Dreams
08/08: who dance
Verse 1 from Genius
Yo! His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already: Mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over—blaow!
Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope
There goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad but he won't
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it, he knows
His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter, he's dope
He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
Verse 1 from Original
Verse 1 from Vocals
01/10: yo his palms are sweaty knees weak arms are heavy there's vomit
02/10: already he's nervous
07/10: daddy's home
Pre-chorus from Genius
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care; we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care; we aren't caught up in your love affair
Pre-chorus from Original
01/05: but every song's like gold teeth Grey Goose
02/05: ball gown
03/05: what everybody's like Cristal Maybach
05/05: we aren't caught up in your love affair
Pre-chorus from Vocals
01/05: but every song's like gold teeth Grey Goose trippin in the bathroom bloodstains
02/05: ball gowns trashin the hotel screwdriver
03/05: play everybody's like Cristal Maybach diamonds on your
04/05: one piece jet planes Islands tigers on a gold leash we don't care
05/05: we aren't caught up in your love affair
Pre-chorus from Genius
House so empty, need a centerpiece
20 racks a table cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby
You talking money, need a hearing aid
You talking bout me, I don’t see the shade
Switch up my style, I take any lane
I switch up my cup, I kill any pain
Pre-chorus from Original
01/05: does the ones we need to send it to you
Pre-chorus from Vocals
01/05: who wins in a descendants
02/05: skinny pig
03/05: you talkin money
04/05: Connecticut
Based on my findings above removing the instrumentals always improves the accuracy from Google Cloud Speech. However, the accuracy is still not high enough to confidently censor out all explicit words from a song. We will have to use this and other methods to improve the accuracy.
