Lyrics

I had a sister
Who died too soon
Sixteen years
What could I do
Announced by my mother
Who’s now dead too
Both died young
What could I do
Harden my heart,
But life broke through.
like a cheap stone
A cheap stone.
Just like a cheap stone.

On and on,
Life goes on,
On and on,
with a heart of stone
On and on,
Life goes on,
But with a cheap stone,
Just a cheap stone.

I’ve had friends,
Who died too soon
twenties, thirties,
What could I do
Announced by my friends
who loved them, too
All died young
What could I do,
Harden my heart,
But life broke through.
like a cheap stone
A cheap stone.
Just like a cheap stone.

Interlude

On and on,
Life goes on,
On and on,
with hearts of stone
On and on,
Life goes on,
But with a cheap stone,
Just a cheap stone.

With a Cheap Stone

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.
