This is brilliant too - combining such different styles. It works so well.

Lovely piece, John, beautifully done, I enjoyed that very much. :)

I just had to do a second song from my project about The Myths & Legends Of Arthur. I used exactly the sam prompt as with "Arthur and The Sword" but of course the AI would not do as it was told (quite usual) and had to do several iterations, before I got what I was asking for - you get used to this with AI.
Anyway, wrote another poem/lyric today (31/1/2025) and this is the track I decided to upload. I don't expect to post a track per day but at least with two tracks, I now expect to I will complete the project. I imagine many edits before I consider it fully finished.

Merlin the wise - lyrics

In ancient times, when magic thrived, 
A wizard wise and grand, 
Counseled a boy, with heart so pure, 
To lead a noble land.

Merlin's eyes, with wisdom bright, 
Saw Arthur's destined reign,
 He taught him strength, and honour's might, 
Through joy and deepest pain.

With spells and lore, he paved the way, 
For Arthur's rise to fame, 
A bond unbroken, night and day, 
In heart and soul, proclaimed.

Beside the boy, and man alike
Through battles fierce and crucial
Stood Merlin like a rock unmoved.
His advice was always vital 

He helped him through the hardest times
Their friendship did succeed
For Merlin's counsel, wise and strong, 
Made Arthur a King fit to lead

Hope you All Like my Song of Love :-) 
Would Love to hear any thoughts on it !

THIS KIND OF LOVE

A new song written and recorded in the same room while Nettamoon was here in Brisbane visiting from Norway..............cheers for having a listen

Love Is A Thief   


heading down the eastern road
looking for another point of view
while i'm trying, to get my head around you

your love is a thief, with a heart like a clown
turns you inside out, throws you upside down
like it's been for the ages, some things are just meant to be
when we're apart, it breaks my heart
that's you and me

look across the country side
remember it in better days
nothing ever grows there now
they're still waiting for the rain

your love is a thief, with a heart like a clown
turns you inside out, throws you upside down
like it's been for the ages, some things are just meant to be
when we're apart, it still breaks my heart
that's you and me

Love Is A Thief

FIRST ECLIPSE ON MARS

==========================

Year 2015.

I'd only been composing music with my iPad 1 for four years.

I was lucky enough to find an app that allowed me to "make music" easily: Music Studio 2. It's the only DAW I've ever used, aside from trying out a few tracks with Garage Band.

I made an effort to learn, and so every night I searched the software's forum, where other users were asking questions, suggesting improvements, and posting their compositions (some of which were downloadable). Little by little, I got to know some of them and established some trust (I still write to them from time to time...). Yes, I was a forty-something among people twice my age (and much older... in some cases).

The most active was my friend Ronald, who suggested composing music related to the seven deadly sins. I chose envy.

A couple of years later, I completely reworked the melody and added new sounds with synthesizers I obtained from new apps I added to my collection. Although there was some underlying music that connected the two melodies, it couldn't be said to be the same. So I decided to give it another name, and called it First Eclipse on Mars.

I hope you like it.

Broke my rot.... Decided to write one about the heart and it stuck. Had a good few days of everything I tried sounding the same and needed that reset ❤️‍🔥 Thanks Heart 🫡

If we are lucky enough to grow old it will beat around three billion times and pump 159 million litres of blood through itself and around our body. What a beast 🫀
I'm trying to make sense or pay homage to the filterer it is for morals. In conjunction with a well wired head it's the feelings in our chest that work with the brain it seems to deliver our morals and absorb and deliver that well felt empathy we share. I guess it's our experience of pain and pleasure that we know and the love we have for eachother which allows that empathy flourish solidifying our shared morals. Or we let apathy mute it. Either way its the shared experience that delivers them to us and the natural knock on effect of us knowing we don't like pain and knowing others don't either... so ego aside... Morals should be the easy bit haha!
What happened.... 😆

Song from the rock opera Five Thousand Sasquatch

Gold Colored Teacup

murmuration

Lyrics:
Ma belle, viens graviter dans mon orbite
Captive de mes attracteurs étranges.
Mes mots et mes gestes doux t’invitent
Pendant que nos regards se mélangent.

De ton rêve pelucheux comme une lépiote
Je parcours les étoiles noires et palpitantes
Ployée sous le poids conquérant de mes bottes
Tu quémandes mes caresses enivrantes.

(Chorus)
Minette astrale de rosée carnivore
Chair corail ruisselante de tes envies
Le temps se cache mais nous dévore
Dans notre jardin palpitant d’infini

Foufoune power, rêves concentriques
Guerrière lubrique,  matriarche adorée
Goudou doll, ma figure métaphorique,
Dans tes parfums chauds et mordorés

Et ta puissance est un divin présage
Un frémissement doux et gynarchique
Les chiens se dressent sous l’orage
De tes folles émulsions alchimiques

(Chorus)
Minette astrale de rosée carnivore
Chair corail ruisselante de tes envies
Le temps se cache mais nous dévore
Dans notre jardin palpitant d’infini


Ergot satanique, fruit gorgé de sang
Ton plaisir frémi en langues éclectiques.
Il se noie dans des arômes évanescents
De candeurs et d’extases métalliques.

Trente centimètres de latex et de plaisir
Se tendent à mon bassin souple et ondulant
Ta croupe s’offre, j’ajuste mon harnais de cuir
Et, amoureuse, je te prends tendrement.  

(Chorus)
Minette astrale de rosée carnivore
Chair corail ruisselante de tes envies
Le temps se cache mais nous dévore
Dans notre jardin palpitant d’infini


Minette astrale

Molch-Take a seat

This piece is about recognition and maybe also a bit about loss, losing things in all different ways. Maybe you can give more description to this piece, what it does for you..... Hope you enjoy!

All my own AI assisted tracks, are free to download.

I have been writing songs since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I am more than happy with the wide range of songs I have written over the years. But my musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Soundcloud are of me singing  and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me.

I am still writing and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.
