Lyrics

Cosmic relevance, i had my tea
I asked myself where is it I exist,
Am I not just in the universe.
But part of it.
Am I not the one unfolding it (tea or coffee?)
In the infinite layers of existence, (tea -please)
Is it not as important I have my tea here (two sugars please and a biscuit)
As it is to think and bleed (make that sweetener instead)
A cosmic act of all — grounding, present, alive. Intelligence, vastness, even the stars and atoms — they all meet in this moment. ( don’t pour the milk in until it’s brewed)
So I ask myself is it not time to enjoy my tea.
I am the universe taking a sip.
A part of it
I asked myself where is it I exist,
Am I not just in the universe.
But part of it. (tea or coffee?)
Is it not true
That when I feel fear, the you somewhere might feel a storm.
(Time for tea)
Is it not true
That when I imagine,
Reality shift
A new star if born from it born
Born is. New dawn because I exist
(Time for tea)
I asked myself where is it I exist,
Am I not just in the universe.
But part of it. (tea or coffee?)
We exist in a vastness of space
The distance seems so great (not too much milk please)
Yet everything is so dense (it’s earl grey)
Is it not true that
My reality is yours just like it’s mine (no milk please just a slice of lemon)
But we see differently
But none can deny (I prefer an ice cold one please)
I asked myself where is it I exist,
Am I not just in the universe.
But part of it. (Tea or coffee?)
So I shall have my tea and talk about biscuits
My reality is fine
My calm is mine
Through eternity harmony will come
As I sip my tea,
And sigh

Cosmic relevance - I had my cup of tea

Don’t be fooled I’m no musician or singer, far from it I cannot sing since age of 12 since my voice broke and I had to leave the school choir. But I am a creative, and artist, better known for my drawings and illustrations than any other part of my art. 

However, my art is about communicating ideas, ideologies, thoughts, emotions and from drawing to installations, to sound I will delve through it and produce as I go. 

Word and sound have been two constants but never found a delivery vehicle through which I could reach a wider audience, particularly with my word art. I’m not into putting myself out and at the forefront, I am more the one at the back of the crowd. 

So delivery was always an issue. And then I found AI, not to create my art but to deliver. 
Original word art transformed into song tracks by having a voice and finding the right genres, styles, fusions of different styles and language.

Every piece is my original word art, for you that would translate to Lyrics, but it has a wider context for me. And AI assisted in creating the track.

So this is just one of my projects.

Importantly to me is bringing my word art into the public arena for once is a completion of successfully navigating past one of the biggest obstacles in my life. In school whilst I was not in the lower classes, yes tier systems suck, I was considered as someone who would fail English. If told enough times you will, so I did. It took a teacher I will never forget to pick me up and show me that others were wrong and he showed me I could do it. But the scars were always to stay. So language has always been my inferiority complex. Ironically my art took me to become a reporter although  always very much never believing my worth, and also hiding my written word art from the public, even the family. Things changed when at my later years I’m realising I have nothing to be ashamed of as I have achieved a lot and it’s time to take a plunge and let the words flow out into the public arena.

I have a voice, it speaks all day and like all my work I have stories to tell or wish to tell. Thoughts I wish to discuss, ideas I wish to have others debate, emotions I wish to describe, protests I wish to scream out, sounds I wish others to hear, whispers I want to send into the breeze, joy and play I wish to share.

As a follower of cybernetics art I believe I am just the delivery vehicle, original source, the prospect that others could use the sound and take it further is something which has not gone past me, hence this now becomes a collaborative work.

Sharing to make the art develop, grow, mature and spread wider than its original intent of putting words together to express something.

Maybe there are human singers out there who will use my words, or visualisers who will push the visuals further. All I ask is for the authorship of the original words and their composition to be respected and rewarded as deserved, respecting their origins. 

But take it on and take it forward if you wish and let me know where and how it’s gone so the connection and link is maintained.

On the simpler level I hope the words find an audience and provide something for someone, even if it’s just one person.

As I say I am not a singer or a musician just a creative doing his art. A whole lot of respect to those who have their own voices and talents in music, my words are mine and I use AI trying to find you with that talent to take my words on. Not out of disrespect. But Ai gives me a chance to reach out where I have not had a chance, and hopefully connect with others by offering my word art. 

You will find I’m one who stands behind the crowds, and I intend to stay there as that’s were I feel safe.
