Unforgiven: A Liquid Gospel of Heartbreak
This story is about a relationship. Good stories often have a bit of truth in them. Although I'll not judge if it is good or not, there is some truth and reality buried in this tale somewhere. I used ChatGPT4o, Suno, Dreamstudio, Luma, Runway, and OpenShot to create this. I also fiddled a bit with AI Cartoon Generator (perchance.org/ai-cartoon-generator) for exploring animation options and for help. Some of the descriptors used in the song were: epic liquid gospel, motown funk, american primitivism two step, rhythm and blues, slow burn, and extreme hurt and anger.
The lyrics, in full, are as follows:
Verse 1
Decades ago, we thought we had it all,
Young and in love, nothing could make us fall,
But old photos, secrets unravelled,
Sparks lit a pyre, from there a shadowed path we travelled.
Pre-Chorus
I deleted old memories, of a past long gone,
On your word, I erased, tried to move on,
You said it was Mom who said I was foolish,
Your manipulation, lies embellished.
Chorus
Lies gained the moment I dropped the link,
Threw away my past, and you didn't even blink,
Our relationship was walking dead, before we said "I do,"
Lost in hazey lies, I refused to see you.
Was it really love that we once knew?
Or was it lost, for me and you?
Verse 2
Thanksgiving Eve, in a town far from home,
Moved for your career, feeling so alone,
Just you, your brother, and his new girlfriend,
Playing Risk, but thoughts on old photos rent.
The rage erupted, molten, unbidden attack
Pulled up the website, your ex in the stack,
My voice broke the silence, accusations flew,
They all stared at me, like they had no clue.
Pre-Chorus
I deleted old memories, of a past long gone,
On your word, I erased, tried to move on,
You said it was Mom who said I was foolish,
Your manipulation, lies embellished.
Chorus
Love lost the moment I pressed delete,
Threw away my past, and you didn't even blink
Our relationship was walking dead, before we said "I do,"
Lost in a web of lies, I saw the truth in you.
Was it really love that we once knew,
Oh was it love, for me and you?
Bridge
Nights turned cold, lying back to back,
Each word a heart crushing attack,
I lashed out irrationally, fueled by pain,
Feeding your gaslight, going insane.
Your tiny slices, surgical strikes,
Each little jab, calling forth night.
Chorus
Love lost the moment I pressed delete,
Threw away my past, and you didn't even blink
Our relationship was walking dead, before we said "I do,"
Lost in a web of lies, I saw the truth in you.
Was it ever love that we once knew,
Or was it LUST, for me and you?
Outro
After every fight, every tear I shed,
I asked for forgiveness, words left unsaid,
Hoping you’d see and ask for it too,
But you never learned, spurned any hopes anew.
Reflecting on past, days now few,
Wondering how I ever wound up with you.
Difficult journey, dark agony,
Your absence released me, love set free.
Incapable of fighting, hand in hand,
Thanks for not forgiving, there I stand...

Fables and Crumbs: The Wealthy Feast | Haunting indy pop
I jotted down the idea for this in exasperation of how things in the world seemed so strange and out of control to me...
This is a video I created after having some thoughts on the craziness of the world today. I used ChatGPT, Suno, Luma, DreamStudio, and OpenShot to create this.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
So I've won the lottery, in a new land,
Left the old job, never thought I'd stand.
In this new country, I'm the chosen one,
I'm the lucky one, oh, I'm the lucky one.
Before I dive in, I realize,
Positivity's the key, a grand disguise.
Don't think too much about the path I tread,
Just let the words flow, don't let them in my head.
[Chorus]
Don't listen to the words, just nod to the beat,
Don't need to believe, just follow the heat.
As the dollars pile higher, I begin to see,
Richer in wealth, but poorer in me.
Friendships fade, but the dollars rise,
How many millions justify the lies?
[Verse 2]
With every dollar, the spirit wanes,
As riches grow, the meaning drains.
Stocks and bonds in portfolios swell,
Real estate in places where the wealthy dwell.
Rare wines stored in cellars deep,
Precious metals in vaults I keep.
Yet in the darkness, love remains,
Warm embraces ease the pain.
[Chorus]
Don't listen to the words, just nod to the beat,
Don't need to believe, just follow the heat.
As the dollars pile higher, I begin to see,
Richer in wealth, but poorer in me.
Friendships fade, but the dollars rise,
How many millions justify the lies?
[Bridge]
Positivity's the key, a grand disguise,
Hiding the emptiness behind my eyes.
The more I gain, the more I lose,
Trapped in a cycle, I didn't choose.
I push on, eyes on the prize,
But the cost is heavy, I realize.
Each step forward, a piece of me lost,
Chasing dreams, but at what cost?
The pile of dollars grows so tall,
But echoes in my heart, an empty hall.
When will enough be enough, I wonder,
How many millions will tear me asunder?
[Verse 3]
The glitter fades, the truth sets in,
All these riches, but where's the win?
The love I had now feels so far,
Traded my soul for a shooting star.
Is the love I find now bought or real?
Can it heal the emptiness I feel?
Memories of laughter, now just a haze,
Caught in this endless, hollow maze.
[Chorus]
Don't listen to the words, just nod to the beat,
Don't need to believe, just follow the heat.
As the dollars pile higher, I begin to see,
Richer in wealth, but poorer in me.
Friendships fade, but the dollars rise,
How many millions justify the lies?
[Outro]
So I've won the lottery, in a new land,
Left the old job, never thought I'd stand.
In this new country, I'm the chosen one,
But as the dollars rise, my spirit's undone.
How many millions will justify the loss?
How many millions until I see the cost?
Is the love I find now bought or real?
Can it heal the emptiness I feel?

Faking Light Until You Shone: Indie Hymn for the Weary Soul
This is for my best friend and love.
Yes, a shared dream, though broken true,
Dreamers unbroken, dreaming anew.
This song is about battling depression, self-doubt, and doing it with a partner, doing the same. Finding a partner in life is the answer. If you are in a dark place, understand you are not alone. There are people out there to help, and allowing them to help you, you also help them. May you find love and light among those closest to you.
I used ChatGPT4o, Suno, Dreamstudio, Luma, Runway, and OpenShot to create this.
The Suno genre/descriptors were: Indie Folk, bitttersweet, male vocals, personal, dreamy.
Here're the lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Quiet mornings, pills, your cover,
Withdrawal, aching, I watched you suffer.
Early up, hoping you'd follow,
Digging deep, desperate to fill the hollow.
(Pre-Chorus)
Spectral steps on white marble,
Tai chi and stretching, break your hobble,
Darkness tread, before daybreak,
Despairing ko-el calls, your thoughts opaque.
(Chorus)
Still, humid mornings pressed upon us,
Through tai chi and stretching, undaunted,
Heading out into the darkness,
I buried my self and thoughts, still performing.
(Verse 2)
I tried to be a light, consumed by you,
Your body a silent mannequin, my words askew.
Dark mornings, shadows stealing the show,
Moments blurred by medication, concern's undertow.
(Pre-Chorus)
Finding strength, praying for dawn,
Talking when you reached out, withdrawn,
A gentle stream, my mind a flood,
Seeking signs of new growth, seeking bud.
(Chorus)
Still, humid mornings pressed upon us,
Through tai chi and stretching, undaunted,
Heading out into the darkness,
I buried my self and thoughts, still performing.
(Bridge)
Blinded by darkness, facing sunrises,
Grasping at light, holding onto prizes.
You began to speak, nightmares in flight,
Listening, carrying you to new sights.
(Pre-Chorus)
The journey was rough, at times not deep enough,
Dragging you, waiting, beyond my strength.
(Chorus)
Emotionally stalled, yet moving on,
Through tai chi and stretching, undaunted,
Walking into the calling darkness,
I was worried, but kept on performing.
(Additional Verse)
"Good morning," I would smile and say,
You walked in, a silent display,
Hoping warmth could break the gloom,
Silent pleas in the room.
(Verse 3)
Quiet streets, long hot walks, your pace slow,
Desire to be out, hope's gentle glow.
Stopping tired, yet pushing to explore,
Flicker of hope in moments we adored.
(Bridge)
Wanting to shake you awake, lash out in despair,
Knowing it wouldn't help, feeling bare.
No room for my own vulnerability to show,
Hurting quietly, emotions in tow.
(Additional Bridge)
Brewing cold coffee, hoping to ignite,
Morning spark, your interest in sight.
A gesture of love, a ritual to share,
Waking your spirits, showing I care.
(Additional Bridge)
Exploring city shops and restaurants,
Hokkien words and prata, biryani, dance.
Banana prata, laughter in shame,
Tasting beauty, igniting the flame.
(Outro)
Kingfishers darting, flashes of blue,
Electric moments, joyous and true.
Into the pool after years, dive in time,
Splash of renewal, rhythm, chime.
Yes, a shared dream, though broken true,
Dreamers unbroken, dreaming anew.
Yes, a shared dream, though broken true,
Dreamers unbroken, dreaming anew.

Floating in My Dreams | dreamy indie pop introspective music
I actually have trouble flying in many dreams... It gave me the idea for this song, I used ChatGPT4o, Suno, Dreamstudio, Luma, Runway, and OpenShot to create this.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In my dreams, I reach for the sky
But the ground keeps pulling me back (back)
I spread my wings, yet I cannot fly
Just floating, floating, gently off track
[Verse 2]
I try and I might float a little bit
But the weight of doubt brings me down (down)
Flying evades me, it's just a myth
I'm bound to the earth, forever earthbound
[Chorus]
In my dreams, I never fly (never fly)
I try and I might float a little bit (float a little)
But flying evades me, I never quite make it
Just floating for a short time, and landing back upon the earth
[Bridge]
Soft whispers call from higher places
Shadows dance among cotton cloud races
My heart flies, but my body's still
Caught in a web of my own will
[Verse 3]
I chase the stars, they slip through my fingers
A fleeting touch that never lingers
Mirages of freedom, illusions so sweet
Yet my journey ends incomplete
[Verse 4]
Mountains rise, oceans await
But I'm tethered by an invisible weight
Lost in labyrinthine endless darkness
Dreams dissolved with the morning's kiss
[Chorus]
In my dreams, I never fly (never fly)
I try and I might float a little bit (float a little)
But flying evades me, I never quite make it
Just floating for a short time, and landing back upon the earth
[Outro]
Endless echoes of silent cries
Dreams unfulfilled beneath the skies
In the realm of sleep, I endlessly try
To reach for the heavens, only to sigh
