Before you think one night

I'm a huge Springsteen fan. Probably my biggest influence Tom Petty being second. So I knew when I wrote this, I was channeling him. His folk period, but I wanted some rock in it.

It came out in the style of Springsteen, but I never asked it to

What i didn't expect was hearing Bruce himself sing it! I said keeping that ..
That's HIM!

Wanna showcase few more of my lyrics to ai songs before I dive deeper and start getting more involved, playing and singing

    Before You Think One Night

    They were doin some business off the Rio Grande
    He met a beautiful woman who he didn't understand
    but her eyes were as bright as the Mexican sun
    her brother Miguel said she aint for fun

    Ya think twice...before you think one night
    Ya better think twice...before you think one night

    Well he was only there so he could make a little cash
    pay the banks back home and be gone in a flash
    but a bandana man said "blood in, blood out"
    think you know white boy what I'm talkin about

    Ya think twice...before you think one night
    Ya better think twice...before you think one night

    God only knows what he'd gotten into
    He'd take the bloody nose but didn't want no tatoo
    shotgun man said "now, he knows too much"
    so you wont be dealin with them boys I trust

    Ya think twice...before you think one night
    Ya better think twice...before you think one night

    Great song, totally Bruce, very relaxing despite the disturbing story. @Domd

  • That's a good one. Love that chorus:

    Ya think twice...before you think one night

    Easy to sing a long with, and memorable.

    Good story, and strong visuals. I like how the music drifts into mexican themes at times too.

    Could easily be on a Springsteen album.

    @Domd - wow this sounds great! Are the vocals yours?

    The music is as authentic as it can get.

    If AI can create this level of composition then it definitely can make better music than the current crop of songwriters (with the human intelligence telling it what needs to be done of course)

    Very impressive!

    Thanks , yeah it does have a hypnotic vibe, I think it's cause it's set in the desert. As it moves in starts to get a bit more rattling.

    @arnabs thanks. One thing is ai is not composing anything really. We can't give it human traits.

    It's simply a calculator. When a human being writes a song they are drawing from every song they ever heard in their brain...which is a computer.

    Every song is based on other songs, millions of other songs.

    It's not coming from the sky or any place spiritual, terrible human beings can still write beautiful music.

    Ai is just capable of doing the re creating if songs faster, like a calculator adding up 482 times 97.

    The one thing ai is not is original. Most musicians and songwriters are not either.

    Any new jazz standard is not original at all.

    Ai still needs to learn from what we do, it's just better at doing what we already do

    @Domd - sure thing. Are you the one singing on this song? I just heard a bit of a different texture of the voice from your other tunes hence curious

    Did you read the post, look back at what I said about Springsteen

    In sorry if I'm getting annoyed but it seems you are harping on me not performing it

    I can though.

    @Domd - Hey buddy, no no I do not have any such intentions to annoy you :) Yes I did read about Springsteen in your introduction post, but I was thinking maybe its the feel of Springsteen that you were mentioning. I understand now what you mean. Sorry for any confusion and misunderstanding. It's all good.
