My Banal Lyrics versus Annie Lennox

Music AI Strikes Fear Into Our Hearts

And Now for Something Completely Different

Below is one of the lesser known tune from the 80s by the eurythmics (well maybe, maybe not): 😉

I thought the lyrics were not one of my better efforts, but Annie Lennox did a good job with them, in her weird style. 😉 

Weird style, weird lyrics!

I also have country, adult contemporary and soul versions of the lyrics. Think I will try hip hop ( hate most hip hop).

The AI melodies seldom have much to do with my original conception. The chords ditto. And the arrangements? What can I say, I only strum cowboy chords.

Listening to great music from the past, I see Music AI has a ways to go, but I think it will get better very quickly.

My 20 year old, who has been working on making music since he was 7, is quite disparaging of the democratization of music creation. Any talent-less boob does not have to study and can push a button and make a tune. I feel the same way about calculators. I spent hundreds of hours learning arithmetic and algebra and such, and now any talent-less boob does not have to study and can push a button and make a calculation. Don't let me get started on buggy whips!

For the better part of a century, computer programmers have been trying to automate themselves out of a job. I participated in that effort, in my own small way. Idiot savants that we are, we did not really think through the implications. Now, success is near. Well, you can always push carts around at Costco.
