I had this 8-track demo of a sad lovesong. Richard liked it and asked me to send over the stems in order to "try something". What he sent back hit me like a hammer. Damn, that was beautiful! He' d turned my sad indie ballad into a sweet french pop song with the amazing Delphine Portier on b-vocs. Merci beaucoup, chers ami!

Dedicated to Sara. Thanks for the attention!

This is a true story about a beautiful lady from the north. A million thanks to Sean for his magical strings and synths and to my friend and band mate Ben who worked very hard on this song.

Beautiful Helen from the north    you brightened up my dark phase like a torch, scared to ask you but I did      and I was happy like a kid.

You accepted my enquiry      a collaboration of you and me,
such an unexpected pleasure,      what a musical treasure!

I' d never heard a song of you before   when I saw your poster on a wooden door, your beautiful face just caught my eyes   -   I got kind of hypnotised.

You are also on SC      like many others and like me,
your music is stunning,      your voice is so enchanting.

Then I saw your video      of a song that' s called Ayo,
such a beauty, such a grace      in your lovely smiling face.

Oh Helen,      tears are wellin'      because of happiness      that' s how it is
I don' t wanna stress you  -  or possess you - it' s just about a song - why should that be wrong?

It took you ten months to drop a line      writing "sorry, I' ve got no time,
there are so many other things      and every minute my mobile rings".

Beautiful Helen from the north      you brightened up my dark phase like a torch  and whatever you choose to do      I' ll be waiting for you.

LYRICS

Suddenly
We’re in the trenches again
Easily
I didn’t even remember how easily
You could just lose everything

Talk to me
Say anything
Otherwise
How can we solve this thing?

It’s starting to seem

That if you wanna be safe
You should marry a seatbelt
If you wanna be sound
Hook up with a speaker

‘Cause lately I’ve been noticing
Not easy being a human being
But you get up in the morning
And do it anyway

We’re all pretending anyway
We’re just pretending to be sane
To be normal as they say
Well, what is normal anyway?

So if you wanna be safe
You should marry a seatbelt
If you wanna be sound
Hook up with a speaker
You wanna know the right words?
Move in with an advert
You wanna be heard?
Start dating a microphone

‘Cause lately I’ve been noticing
Yeah, life is but a simple thing
You just get up in the morning
And do it anyway

Too Serious [Version # 9]  [TSER9]

When my fingers graze your fragile frame
A quiet fire lights beneath your name
I feel the tremble hidden in your core
A secret tide I’m aching to explore  

I’ll cross the stillness you’ve locked away
Unravel shadows where your heart strays
With every brush, I’ll set you free
A whispered vow from you to me  

When I reach you, soul to skin
I’ll stir the storm that sleeps within
I’ll shatter quiet, draw you near
Be all you dream, through every fear
When I reach you, you’ll crave the flame
You’ll know my touch will claim your name  

Your walls are glass, they gleam with frost
A fragile shield for all you’ve lost
My hands will melt the cold you hide
And flood your world with rising tide  

I’ll trace the pulse you’ve buried deep
Awake the echoes from their sleep
With every sigh, you’ll understand
The power held within my hands  

When I reach you, soul to skin
I’ll stir the storm that sleeps within
I’ll shatter quiet, draw you near
Be all you dream, through every fear
When I reach you, you’ll crave the flame
You’ll know my touch will claim your name  

Beneath your breath, a hunger grows
A river bends where no one knows
I’ll carve my mark upon your dawn
Till silence breaks and you’re reborn  

When I reach you, soul to skin
I’ll light the spark that hums within
I’ll breach the hush, make you whole
Be every wish within your soul
When I reach you, you’ll feel the blaze
You’ll need my touch through endless days  

When I reach you, soft and slow
A truth unfolds you’ll always know
Through your veins, my hands will sing
A love that bends to everything

Through Your Veins

Midnight is Calling

Eyes On Us

The light in the shade, the bitter in the sweet, and the love in the hate.

Port Velvet is the synth pop project from Brent Knopf (Menomena, Ramona Falls, El Vy) and Patti King (touring member of The Shins, Radiation City). Debut album Midnight is Calling is out now (10 songs).

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.
