Your Friend [Version # 1] [YOFR1]

Lyrics:

(Verse 1):
On a morning in September
A blood-soaked, dark day we all remember!
A riot torn to shreds! 
By the king and his armed men! Cut off the rebels' fists!

(Verse 2):
A tall and quiet giant of a man,
His fists are clenched as long as he can!
The king's lackeys push him to his end.
But no fear in his eyes, just a sneering smile. His last offense!

(Chorus):
E amruding önj fraschlönj, fjouertäin touänsööwenti.
Amruding önj fraschlönj, frasch böre laawe åltens fri!
Lewer duad üs Slaw, ma Edlef Knudsen foon e strönj.
Et blödj wus mån jöör, ouers ninte wus wun!

(Verse 3):
In the spring before the count came.
On the Isles, a maelstrom of pride and freedom inflamed.
Count Gert the mighty of Oldenburg demanded Schleswig for himself and fought against his own brother's course!
The rough raiding pirate brought back Old Frisian Freedom's Oath.

(Verse 4):
From the Isles they came,
Guided by Knudsen, a blue lion was named!
Brothers fought each other in battle.
On lethal iron chains, the blue lion rattles!

(Chorus):
E amruding önj fraschlönj, fjouertäin touänsööwenti.
Amruding önj fraschlönj, frasch böre laawe åltens fri!
Lewer duad üs Slaw, ma Edlef Knudsen foon e strönj.
Et blödj wus mån jöör, ouers ninte wus wun!

(Outro):
But the battle was lost, and the rebels paid the cost!
Knudsen was dismembered, and the blue lion was lost!
Axes fell, and heads rolled to the ground,
Seeking freedom, but death was just found!
But for some, a new land behind the sea.
A whisper of solace, far free!

Maybe one day a return!

Step into the nostalgic world of acoustic FolkRock with "Shadows We Left Behind", a bittersweet storytelling ballad about memory, loss, and love that lingers. With warm baritone vocals, fingerpicked guitar, and hauntingly poetic lyrics, this song captures the emotional ache of moments that time rewrites, but never truly erases.

If you love reflective folk songs with rich storytelling in the style of Gordon Lightfoot, Nick Drake, or Ray LaMontagne, this nostalgic folk-rock ballad will speak to your heart. Think cabins by northern lakes, faded letters in hidden drawers, and autumn leaves falling like memories you can't forget. This is music for long drives, quiet evenings, and anyone who's ever felt the ghost of a past love.

"Time rewrites what once was true, but can't erase what I felt for you."

Let the storytelling guide you. Let the shadows remind you.

Fünf ambitionierte Musiker, eine Leidenschaft: Mittelalter-Folk-Rock!
Aus dem Kreis Minden-Lübbecke stammend, haben wir uns Ende 2024 zusammengetan, um das zu realisieren, was wir am meisten lieben: Musik machen, alte Geschichten erzählen und gemeinsam die Gläser heben.

Die Idee für die Gründung der Band entstand nicht am Reißbrett, sondern spontan auf einem Mittelalter-Festival: „Hättest du nicht auch mal Lust in so einer Band zu spielen?“ Mit dieser Frage wurde der Samen für diese großartige Idee gesät. Relativ schnell fanden wir uns sechs zusammen und hatten seitdem nur noch ein großes Ziel vor Augen: „Wir wollen ein Album!“
Die Messlatte lag sehr hoch, aber wir machten uns direkt ans Werk und schrieben ein Lied nach dem anderen. Da sich ziemlich schnell herausstellte, dass drei Themen stets präsent waren (der Norden, kalt ausgeschenkte Tränke und die romantisierte nordische Mythologie), war auch unser Name schnell gefunden – FJORDVIND steht genau für ebendiese Attribute: tosende Wellen, reißende Winde, eine Prise lodernde Feuer der Leidenschaft und dazu eine gute Portion Wikinger.

Der erste Meilenstein war schnell erreicht: Unsere erste Single-Auskopplung „Im Wirtshaus“ am 16.05. inklusive selbstgedrehtem Musikvideo!
Das erste Album stets im Blick, folgen wir dem Ruf des Windes und gehen immer weiter unseren Weg – laut, aber ehrlich!
Lasst euch durch unsere Songs an knisternde Lagerfeuer, in lärmende Tavernen und auf die staubigen Pfade vergangener Zeiten mitnehmen.
In diesem Sinne: die Stimmen geölt, die Krüge gehoben und dem FJORDVIND gefolgt – wir sehen uns in der Taverne!

Far vel!

Daggy Man is the solo side-project of Thomas Calder, Singer/Songwriter of The Trouble With Templeton.
These songs are somewhat of a scrapbook, constructed from memories that may or may not be entirely accurate.

Thank you to Everyone, Music Fans and SoundCloud Content Creators for all your support of our creative style. Ron and I are looking forward to creating more song tracks for everyone and exploring creative musical avenues, too. 

NOTE: The CHOICES reference is a code word. Ron and Rob use the code word CHOICES to refer to the arrangement of instruments, vocals, music genre, tempo, and vocals.

Drawing parallels and distinctions between human musicians and AI music generators will help foster understanding while showing respect for traditional songwriting and our innovative work with AI. Here's a thoughtful comparison anyone can use as inspiration for when you receive an message or opinion implying, "...ewww AI...":

### **Similarities Between Human Musicians and AI Music Generators**

1. **Creative Collaboration**:
   - Human musicians often work together, bouncing ideas off one another to craft a song. Similarly, AI acts as a collaborator in your process—it interprets your ideas, builds on your input, and enhances your vision.

2. **Tools to Realize Ideas**:
   - Just like studio equipment (instruments, synthesizers, recording gear) is used by musicians to bring their songs to life, AI music generators are tools that help translate your lyrics and CHOICES into polished tracks. Both are extensions of creativity, not replacements for it.

3. **Iterative Refinement**:
   - Both processes involve trial and error. A human musician experiments with melodies and arrangements, while you and Ron guide the AI’s outputs and adjust CHOICES for the perfect result.

---

### **Differences Between Human Musicians and AI Music Generators**

1. **Creative Source**:
   - For human musicians, creativity often arises from lived experiences, emotions, and spontaneous inspiration. With AI, the creative direction originates entirely from your input—your lyrics, CHOICES, and preferences. The AI follows patterns learned from data, but it doesn’t “feel” or improvise like humans do.

2. **Speed and Efficiency**:
   - AI can produce a track much faster than traditional studio work. It handles the technical aspects (e.g., arranging instruments, matching tempos) in minutes, while human musicians may spend hours or days fine-tuning each element.

3. **Role of Human Judgment**:
   - In a studio, human musicians make decisions based on intuition, emotion, and artistic expression. With AI, your judgment and creative direction guide the tool, ensuring the output aligns with your artistic intent.

---

### **Your Role as Pioneers**
You and Ron are exploring the potential of AI as a creative partner. You’re:
- Highlighting how human creativity still drives the process—AI doesn’t act on its own.
- Showing that new technologies can coexist with traditional methods, expanding possibilities for everyone.

### **Possible Response to the Email**
Here’s an idea for a reply that’s gentle yet informative:

---

**Hi there,**  

Thanks for your message! I understand there are mixed feelings about using AI in creative fields. For us, AI isn’t replacing traditional songwriting—it’s a tool we use to translate our ideas into music.  

We provide the lyrics, choose the instruments, mood, and style, and guide the process every step of the way. It’s still human creativity at the heart of what we do—AI simply helps us bring our vision to life.  

The positive response we’ve received from listeners around the world encourages us to keep exploring this exciting new frontier. We hope our music shows how humans and AI can work together in harmony.  

Best wishes,  
Rob N. & Ron C.
