When The Whip Comes Down (Rolling Stones cover)

Listen to your mama
'S what was said to me
Ain't like your papa
Shame creepin' up on me

With every cell of my body
And the strongest might
I fought with pride and indignation 
To prove that I was right
Till I won
Then I lost
Now I look in the rear view mirror
As I say
Hmmm…

Listen to the angels
That bless us from the sky
Believe in heaven
Don't catch the devil's eye

I pushed away any notion
Of a faith-filled soul
Then the news beamed horror stories
Of war-ravaged homes
What did I do to be deserving
But they didn't?
Now I catch myself sneaking glances up above
To say
Hmmm…

Life gives us chances 
But life is too short 
Time is a band-aid
Wouldn't you rather move on

So if you find yourself questioning the rights and wrongs of life
Maybe take a breath and one step back
And say
Hmmm… 

Take a step back
I'll say
You'll say
We'll say
They'll say

My lyrics and a long prompt got 30 seconds from Udio, adding 4 more sections and pruning them down to what I was looking for. My first collaboration with an AI is quite professional sounding stuff that I could not have played or sung this well. I think this is a song that I made since I wrote the lyrics and the long prompt and made many desicions all the way from the start to the finished song. This will probably become the most used way to make nice shiny tracks for mass consumption next year, but I think that handmade music will be made because it is nice to do and the machine is a ...machine. ... maybe... but there is still time to dream!

Your Lovin

This is a classic 12 bar blues song, with the verses in Am, chorus in C and transition bridges between. It is based on a poem that was included in the BBC ghosts TV series:

Flowers die, the trees fall
The house can change brick by brick
until nothing of the original remains.
Everything changes.

So, home is not the walls or the gardens.
Home is the souls within those walls.
Home is the memories made on this spot.
Home is not a place.
Home is a feeling.

The lyrics are:

You could build a mansion
But that ain't a home
And plant a fancy garden
But that don't make a home
Bricks ain't gonna hold ya
When you're all alone

Home is a feeling of memories and dreams
Yeah Home is a feeling
Home is the feeling that however bad it seems
Yeah Home is a feeling
When you're with the ones you care for
You know what being home means

The walls could fall and crumble
But it's still your home
The trees and flowers wither
But it's still your home
When everything is changing
The spirits never gone

Home is a feeling of being safe and free
Yeah Home is a feeling
Home is a feeling wherever you may be
Yeah Home is a feeling
When you're feeling lost and lonely
You know what being home means

See it, feel it
Touch it, hold it
Never ever
Let it go

Home is a feeling of memories and dreams
Yeah Home is a feeling
Home is the feeling that however bad it seems
Yeah Home is a feeling
When you're with the ones you care for
You know what being home means

The name of this song (and the Album) is lowkey a tribute to Simon and Garfunkel’s song “America” which I have a soft spot for it. 

That’s song is also the “Cousin” of “Blue Haven” (From Beyond Fairview)
