really like the subtleguitar notes in the background of the melody....kind of random/drifting/uninhibited...voice is a nice addition

Such a lovely word; daydreaming.  Pretty song.

Très belle réalisation! 👍🏻 👏 🎶

Chill theme for the lazy summer afternoons

Beauty In The Tiny

I was on a Virginia recently (DC and Virginia Beach were great) and instead of writing an online review, I was compelled to write a musical review of a less than stellar experience I had at a hotel. Recorded on my iPhone using GarageBand with the vocal song using the basic iPhone earbuds.
I stepped into the hotel. I noticed an unpleasant smell. It was a combination of old cigarettes and mildew. 
I went into my room. I could feel a sense of doom. As I took off my shoes and socks and my bare feet touched the grimy floor. 
Things are not the best at the Best Western, they’re going downhill fast, and I’m trying to pretend the glass is half full. I’m trying really hard to have a nice stay at this hotel. I’m trying not to lose my cool.
There was a peloton in the gym, so I sat on it and tried to login, but the bike wouldn’t work because the Wi-Fi wasn’t connected .
I went back to my room for a shower, and it was like I had a special superpower because when I reached for the handle to turn on the water, it came off in my hand .
Sometimes you can have a little bit of bad luck when you book a cheap room and try to save a buck. You can get angry and sit around and stew or you can break out into a song and write a musical review.

A Musical Hotel Review (GarageBand)

Can we just let AI music proceed as is unchallenged?

Absolutely not!

Soon the result is going to be unrecognisable vs human made. It will never be better because it's human character that makes music new but where the problem lies is in young musicians and their appreciation of the result. For an artist, that appreciation is born from years of getting it wrong and countless hours of difficult practice. For young minds that is now a challenging decision, spend your life playing an instrument or get it made for you in 10 seconds. Young minds have shorter and shorter attention spans because of short dose media so it's possible kids won't bother learning and making music the skillful route. 

That in my opinion removes too much feeling from the world of music and it needs to be challenged from as many corners of this ball as possible. Our kids are worth it and so is the memory of all the artists that inspired all of us to get music where it is today. Let's protect that at all costs. Currently, with no AI regulation companies are running the show and their is zero conscientious design associated with it because the developers are competing with each other for slices of the pie. See below the lyrics for an idea for a pro active way of fighting that using people power and human intuition to draw a line in the sand on this...



Lyrics

"We are committed to Artists"
So sayeth sound cloud
White knight of streams for real human crowd
Yet they let this flood of prompters go loud
For shareholder pockets with ad money endowed

They're no white knight
They are bottom line
They care not for real just profit now blind
Will they ruin music?
Never for me...
But to fight this evil
Where's philanthropy...

Fight fire with fire
Found new intention
Attention to share human creation
It's here we evolve and find life thats new
Here not for profit show merit thats true

The darkening cloud will evaporate
It's all about tuning your heart to good sake
The sake of your neighbour and what they can make
The fake will burn out when most of us wake

Give, don't take. Make, don't fake
Be proud of true you
Not dark cloud of hate
A fate we make with faith in inner
Why have faith in fake to have nicer dinner

Bread is bread and rice is rice
Simple sustenance to evolve your nice
You have your food if your lucky
But forget real new and your music means nothing

Prompters going loud
Never proud
Still allowed
Light up this darkening cloud
Prompters going loud
Never proud
Still allowed
Light up this darkening cloud


💡Idea: If SoundCloud were to offer a facility of confirming your process that might be a bit harder for the prompters to manipulate the system. They could even make it community based like Wikipedia where artists review and verify authenticity so that would take labour costs largely away from SoundCloud and the will would definately be there to get this on the level for people. I would donate time to that I think... that might be a positively focused way of separating the artists from the prompters. Prove you are what you say and then people can know they are embracing verified creators

This would actually work better outside of SoundCloud and the whole music industry and all streaming platforms could use it as a reference for real and badge it their own way for people to see and know what to embrace no matter where they listen to music

Where's the philanthropist for this? I'm broke! 😆

The Darkening Cloud

Daydreaming through the dark times.

A song of daydreaming trying to forget your stress but it's always there as a slow building constant.

A happy accident but if you loop this track it flows perfectly into itself lol. 

Updated the track 1st August 2025 with a fresh mix and added acoustic guitar work. Also added some subtle ambient percussion and some vox for depth. 

Please feel free to leave a comment as your feedback is really valuable.

Hope you enjoy it

Daydreaming

(no genAI involved - my voice and VST instruments)
At 55 years old, I am a grandfather and am rediscovering the magic of a newborn baby. When we see this innocence and fragility, we retrieve in each of us that simple but wonderful thing that is humanity.
(traduit plus bas)

It's not another morning
Not anymore
So deep inside me
I'm only starting to understand
Like never before
  
When living is so real
Your tiny hands are dreaming
And my heart is healing
My baby I can feel
Your soul, the meaning
A world arising  

My love,my son
Born of your ancestors
Now you're the sun, I'm your universe
You'll find me always there

I never knew the silence
Could speak so loud
You breathe, I listen
The world now slows just to hear from you
And time itself bows down

When living is so real
Your tiny hands are dreaming
And my heart is healing
Through my chest I can feel
Your soul, the meaning
A world arising

When living is so real
Your smile becomes the meaning
And hope  is softly ringing
My baby, you reveal
These beautiful things
That you imagine

When living is so real
Your tiny hands are dreaming
And my heart is healing
Through my chest I can feel
Your soul, the meaning
A world arising

When living is so real
I'm dreaming
I'm healing
When living is so real
I see the meaning
The world's arising
----
Ce n'est pas un matin comme les autres
Plus maintenant
Au plus profond de moi
Je commence seulement à comprendre
Comme jamais auparavant
  
Quand la vie est si réelle
Tes petites mains rêvent
Et mon cœur guérit
Mon bébé, je peux sentir
Ton âme, le sens
Un monde qui naît

Mon amour, mon fils
Né de tes ancêtres
Maintenant, tu es le soleil, je suis ton univers
Tu me trouveras toujours là

Je ne savais pas que le silence
Pouvait parler si fort
Tu respires, j'écoute
Le monde ralentit maintenant juste pour t'entendre
Et le temps lui-même s'incline

Quand la vie est si réelle
Tes petites mains rêvent
Et mon cœur guérit
À travers ma poitrine, je peux sentir
Ton âme, le sens
Un monde qui naît
 
Quand la vie est si réelle
Ton sourire devient le sens
Et l'espoir  sonne doucement
Mon bébé, tu révèles
Ces belles choses
Que tu imagines

Quand la vie est si réelle
Tes petites mains rêvent
Et mon cœur guérit
À travers ma poitrine, je peux sentir
Ton âme, le sens
Un monde qui naît

Quand la vie est si réelle
Je rêve
Je guéris
Quand la vie est si réelle
Je vois le sens
Le monde qui naît

When living is so real

I'm almost back...
After the death of a loved one, I found myself unable to play music... so I opened a small attic room deep in my unbalanced mind and played other types of instruments... it had to happen...
So here's a track, "ATTIC ROOM" (37 minutes), composed and produced, bringing together 10 very different and surprising tracks... I feel like I was in another dimension for a while, and I hope you enjoy it.
Have a great listen. Thank you.
Pier WILL

Me voici presque de retour...
Après le décès de l'un de mes proches, je me suis retrouvé dans l'incapacité de jouer de la musique... alors j'ai ouvert une petite chambre mansardée tout au fond de mon esprit en déséquilibre et j'ai joué sur d'autres types d'instruments... il fallait que cela se réalise...
Voici donc un titre "ATTIC ROOM" (37minutes) composé et réalisé rassemblant 10 titres tellement différents et surprenants... je pense avoir été dans une autre dimension pendant un certain temps et j'espère que vous allez apprécier.
Très bonne écoute à vous. Merci
Pier WILL

Attic Room

Simple music made in GarageBand :)
Lyrics & vocal by me

Lyrics:

I'm a little different, not like everyone else
But I'm happy with that
I have nothing to prove
And I don't need a common groove

I walk around with a smile on my face
You may think, Is there something wrong
Well, I am just a satisfied woman
Living life, singing this song

So I´ll toast to a happy life
It can be challenging for sure
But if you get through it with a smile on your face
Can you ask for more? 

There is comfort in getting to live
It's not a given for me
Spend my life doing what I want
Allow myself to dream

I walk around with a smile on my face
And you may think, is there something wrong
Well I am just a satisfied woman
Living life, singing this song

So i´ll toast to a happy life
It can be challenging for sure
But if you get through it with a smile on your face
Can you ask for more?

If you get through it with a smile on your face
Can you ask for more?
