Route 66

Two hearts on a highway,
Nowhere left to be.
Pulled into a station,
You looked right through me.

Sunset in the mirror,
Whiskey on our lips.
Radio played old songs,
Fading like our grip.

Love, hate, collide,
On Route 66 we ride.
Miles turn to memory,
And you're still by my side.

Gasoline and silence,
A smile I can't outrun.
Your hand on the wheel,
My heart on the gun.

So drive me through the night,
Past every "could have been".
Somewhere on this road,
I lost you again.

Love, hate, collide,
On Route 66 we ride.
Miles turn to memory,
And you're still by my side.

Ashes on the dashboard,
Ghosts in every lane.
You’re here but you’re fading,
Like tire tracks in rain.

Route 66

There is a little poem by Charlotte Brontë, ‘The House Was Still’:

The house was still – the room was still
‘Twas eventide in June
A caged canary to the sun
Then setting – trilled a tune

A free bird on that lilac bush
Outside the lattice heard
He listened long – there came a hush
He dropped an answering word –

The prisoner to the free replied

But sadly, what he replied we will never know. The poem breaks off there. At least when written in 1915. 
"We will never know" ... until now. I took these sentences and shamelessly asked AI to continue the story. Here is the result as Folk & Singer-songwriter tune.

A song about feeling exposed and vulnerable

Naked

The orchestrated version of Delirium. One of my favorite ones, I love how this turned out. The two things I love the most: orchestra and synthwave, finally together.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
wanted one thing
super powers
fire ice or shapeshift
become perfection incarnation
have i chased my own dreams into darkness
i got power
but im chasing the screams into darkness
became destruction incarnation
exchanged freedom for power
bestowed a gift a curse
cuz i chased my own screams into darkness
gave up something
my freedom

[Chorus]
creeping shadow
made a pact
and signed the contract
paid the tax
for eldritch blast
creeping shadow
made a pact for fell magic uh uh uh
main attack
the eldritch blast


[Verse 2]
acquisition of my power
flight and speed and regeneration
become perfection incarnation
have i chased my own dream into darkness
i got power
but im chasing the screams into darkness
became destruction incarnation
exchanged freedom for power
cant destroy this curse
cuz ive chased my own screams into darkness
gave up something
my freedom

[Chorus]
creeping shadow
made a pact
and signed the contract
paid the tax
for eldritch blast
creeping shadow
made a pact
and signed the contract
paid the tax
for eldritch blast
creeping shadow
made a pact for fell magic uh uh uh
main attack
the eldritch blast

Creeping Shadow

Being musician and artist "since ages", the last two decades and all the developments in digital music broadened my interests and activities in doing music actively and passively. Not being shy of any genre (OK, leave off some Punk and Extreme Metal derivates) I engage in composing, arranging, mixing and collaborating. 

Oh, and I do all my artwork and designs as well. And as you may notice I regard AI as a friendly helper.

Have a few looks & listens into my repertoire and eventually gain some insights. I'm always open for collabs if the the interests match ...
