This is my entry for Round 2 of the "Spintunes" contest! The prompt/challenge was to write and record a song that makes prominent and creative use of rhythmic contrast between long and short note values.

LYRICS

The headline in the news today
Says they plan to find a way
To make a dog’s life last a little longer
And Bryan Johnson has a dream
A hundred pills and LEDs
To help his body age a little slower
 
But take it from someone who’s done
The thing you seek to do
The practice is not new

There’s no glory in longevity
There’s no glory in longevity

My name is John, the great magician
Alchemist and mathematician
Spoke to angels in obsidian mirrors
I could plot the stars to glean
The tangled fates of English queens
Cracked the code and learnt to live forever

And though our methods change
The craft remains the same
As I can explain

There’s no magic in longevity
There’s no magic in longevity

Imagine watching everything you love cease to be
While you count the hours in eternity

There’s no comfort in longevity
There’s no comfort in longevity

There is no difference between you and I
Only the knowledge that time can provide

Longevity

Lyrics

Rise up in this together now (10x)

It's been,
how long,
Since we,
tried to make it,
How long,
since we've been trying,
to make it easy,
With you by me,
To want you even more,
Even when down,
Even when I'm down.

Rise up in this together  (10x)

WE ARE RISING
electr0n

The pain is gone
(We are rising, rising)
Our strength is here
(The light, the light, we are rising through the dark)

I close the door on the days of shadow
The wounds still pulse, but no longer harrow (dark days of shadow)
The scars I carry are all my own
I won't hide them, I've fully grown (oh yeah on my own)
I am the man who rises up
Though the past still disrupts

We leave the storm behind, we face the light (the light, the light)
Looking for happiness, we heal tonight (hold on, hold on tight)
A gift guides us, an inner force we keep (tonight, tonight, tonight)
To live for good, a love so deep

Every soul becomes a spark of life
The light, the light, we are rising

A new chance given, a grace that's sudden
Time won't erase the path we tread in (this magic place)
Life roars beneath a burning sun
The battle fought, the victory won (yeah, it's won today)

This vibrant strength, I live it bold
A map written, a story yet untold (no no, no, no)
Yet untold

We leave the storm behind, and win forever (the light, the light)
Looking for happiness, we heal tonight (oh yeah hold on tight)
A gift guides us, an inner force we keep (tonight, tonight, tonight)
To live for good, a love so deep

Oh, oh, deep inside, deep inside
Oh, oh, we are rising, oh, oh, always bright...

Silence, just the heartbeat
The quiet returns, the storm has ceased
This is the real time
Peace in the soul, our love released

We leave the storm behind, and win forever (the light, the light)
Looking for happiness, we heal tonight (oh hold on tight)
Every soul becomes a spark of life (we are rising, rising, through the dark)

Oh, oh, we are rising 
Oh, oh, to the spark of life
Oh, oh
The light, the light
We are rising

We are rising

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
