        <description><![CDATA[<p>As many of you know I am a recent member and new to the songwriting arena. I am trying my best to absorb all the information, suggestions and anything I can get my hands on to become a lyricist. Earlier this week I posted The Bards Tale, a first draft of this song. I got some great feedback and set to revising it. </p><p>Once I felt it was polished, I set into the ai for generate something. After many trials I found a sound that worked, semi-clear vocals and enough places where I could try to stitch an entire song together (properly?) in Audacity which I am also new to. </p><p>This being my first real composition, I am asking for your comments on the lyrics, the arrangement and seamlessness of the stitching. There were a total of five different sections I had to clip and align. </p><p>While I can't call this music I made, I can call it a lyrical assembly of AI's audible generation. </p><p>It was my first shot at something like this and I'm happy with how it turned out.</p><p>The Bard</p><p>Listen here: <a href="https://youtu.be/cLPWFY0fmog" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">https://youtu.be/cLPWFY0fmog</a></p><p>I pen my heartbreaks and my mistakes</p><p>To convey emotions most can't relate</p><p>I write of sweet sorrows and stories unfold</p><p>At what cost to me, for these tales I mold-</p><p><br /></p><p>My tears weight and a pound of flesh</p><p>Into despair and my life's regrets</p><p>Burnt on loves smold-rin' embers</p><p>My glass soul now revealed, </p><p><br /></p><p>(I SURRENDER)</p><p><br /></p><p>(I SURRENDER)</p><p><br /></p><p>Found the words I need, deep inside</p><p>Wild tapestry, where threads align</p><p>So with quill in hand, I write and thrive</p><p>My poet's soul, keeps me ALIVE</p><p><br /></p><p>(ALIVE!)</p><p><br /></p><p>In my mind the words begin to phase</p><p>Ink like blood flows on the page</p><p>like the tales of age told long ago</p><p>Notes flow from truths untold</p><p><br /></p><p>My song grew on crescendos rise </p><p>Before it slides hushed into sighs </p><p>Rising again for its' REPRISE!</p><p><br /></p><p>(I SURRENDER)</p><p><br /></p><p>I release my dreams into the night</p><p>And they're barely seen in the pale moonlight</p><p>As my words flash to betray the dark</p><p>My song alights from just a SPARK</p><p><br /></p><p>(SPARK)</p><p><br /></p><p>As the final lines reach their end</p><p>Leavin' me hangin' in suspense</p><p>Did my song align to your ear and soul</p><p>or does 'The Bard' still have more to show?</p>]]>
