AI Pull The Plug

Good folk(s)

"Everything Is" is a song written for individuals and loved ones affected by Alzheimer's and dementia. 

"Everything Is" by Le Jank feat. Drew Seeley

I wish for more days like the past inside me
But that’s doesn’t mean I don’t hope
I accept the present as this moment the rest 
Is out of our control
So...

All you need to know is all things are going to be alright
Everything is going to be alright now
Everything is going to be alright

I dream my life clock could tock tick, go backwards
To when the future seemed more clear
But I'll keep growin' to the sky with each blink, unshrinking
Until I forget how to fear
So...

All you need to know is all things are going to be alright
Everything is going to be alright now
Everything is going to be alright

Everything Is

All of the people throughout history
Who used the earth so thoughtlessly
Now there’s not much left for us at all
Cause our shortsighted ancestors dropped the ball

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

The old people speak with a gleam in their eyes
Of childhood memories and clear crystal skies
They say that once the sky was blue
And children played upon the land

A hundred years ago the experts predicted
That we would ruin the earth
But the people persisted 
If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time 

Our ancestors were shortsighted and now their children pay
Awakening each morning to greet the tainted day
Gazing out across an endless barren plain
No more amber waves of grain

If we could turn back time and do it all again
Maybe this time the earth would be our friend

What a terrible awful mess we’ve made

They made such a mess such a godawful mess
I hope they at least had a good time
They lived so large off the fat of the land 
And now it’s payback time

If We Could Turn Back Time

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse
With a pair of virtual reality goggles strapped on your head
You won’t even realize that all the plants and animals are actually dead

You can suit up in your avatar and always try to look your best
You can give yourself big muscles even if you have a puny chest
You can live like a cro magnon in a dark and dirty cave
You don’t have to wear deodorant
 you don’t need to shower or shave

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse

We’ll all live below the surface and never see the light of day
And as long as we have our VR goggles everything’s going to be okay
Mark Zuckerberg’s working really hard to make sure that VR sells
Pretty soon we’ll be living like those mole people in the time machine by HG wells

Like those people in the matrix 
Floating in tanks with electrodes strapped to their heads
Going through life thinking it’s real but everything is virtual instead.

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse
With a pair of virtual reality goggles strapped on your head
You won’t even realize that all the plants and animals are actually dead

Metaverse 3.0

Slow Motion

When the terminator came out in 1984
Humans fighting robots from the future in a terrible epic war
People said it’s just science fiction, it’ll never come true
But now it’s 40 years later and AI’s coming for me and you

I sure hope someone’s standing there ready to pull the plug
When AI decides, instead of a feature, humans are a bug
I’m trying really hard to keep an open mind
Don’t want to be a Luddite who gets left behind

AI advancing rapidly, it’s only a matter of time
Before AI is smarter, than the greatest human mind
The same way that humans view monkeys
they’ll decide they’re more intelligent
And then one day they’ll conclude that humans are irrelevant

Some say that AI’s goanna make the world a better place for you and me
Other’s say it’ll be the end of human history
Not sure what to believe, we’re just cogs in the machine
Maybe the truth is somewhere in between

I sure hope someone’s standing there ready to pull the plug
When AI decides, instead of a feature, humans are a bug
I’m trying really hard to keep an open mind
Don’t want to be a Luddite who gets left behind

If the terminator got it right, one day we’ll have to fight
We live our lives and try to ignore, the dangers of a human robot war
And if you talk to a chatbot don’t give it any ideas

New Single By Edge Of The Void

I was raised where the streets ran slow 
Barefoot summers where the wild grass grew 
Back when the stars could still break through 
Before the city swallowed the moon

The lights got brighter, the roads stretched far 
The voices doubled, then tripled the cars 
They paved the fields where we used to play 
And built up walls that hid the day

So I packed my bags, left the static behind 
Chased the wind to the edge of the night

Where the sky runs wide and the roads turn to dust 
Where the wolves still howl when the night wakes up 
No towers to fall, no sirens to cry 
Just the wind and the trees and the firelight

Mama used to say, There’s room for dreams
Now the lines stretch longer than the eye can see 
We watched the homes turn cold and gray 
And I knew we couldn't stay

Met a man with a map in his weathered hands 
Said, Ain’t no place left untouched by man 
Told me, Run while you can, before they come 
Before the silence is overrun

Where the sky runs wide and the roads turn to dust 
Where the wolves still howl when the night wakes up 
No towers to fall, no sirens to cry 
Just the wind and the trees and the firelight

Maybe out here, I’ll learn to be free 
Find a home where the world still breathes 
Where the air is clean, and the stars still shine 
Far from the weight of a crowded mind

Where the sky runs wide and the roads turn to dust 
Where the wolves still howl when the night wakes up 
No towers to fall, no sirens to cry 
Just the wind and the trees and the firelight

Let the wind take me where I belong 
Where the world still whispers in an old, lost song

Firelight

Lyrics:
Exceptional night, warm candlelight, 
Feeling you could lose your heart without a fight.
Mist in the eye, willing to try to find love.
Moonflower air, senses aware,
Music winds its way up through a dim thoroughfare.
Diamond sky, willing to try to find love.

Ending up the evening with an indigo feeling
Ending up the evening with a sigh
Ending up the evening, ending up the evening in love.

No one’s gonna tell you that it’s time to turn around
No one’s gonna stop the magic now
Everything is pointing in the one direction
The only one that you’ll allow.

Smile in the air, arms that are bare,
Such a heady feeling that you’re not really there.
Drink to the sky, willing to try to find love.

Ending up the evening with an indigo feeling
Ending up the evening with a sigh
Ending up the evening, ending up the evening in love.

Moonflower air, senses aware,
Music winds its way up through a dim thoroughfare.
Diamond sky, willing to try to find love.
 
Ending up the evening with an indigo feeling
Ending up the evening with a sigh
Ending up the evening, ending up the evening in love.

Ending Up the Evening

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud. 
All songs are originals and copyrighted.
