Music and Lyrics

CHASING MEMORIES

You will always be alive in my memory

Because in my memory you have reminded me how good it is to stay in a dream and hoping never to wake up.

There are times I keep chasing you

But I can never catch up

I’m always running out of breath

You have doomed me unwittingly, unaware and

And I suffered in silence

Let my lips be your last memory

My tongue making a playground

Invading you…every part, every hidden crevice

Let it be my name that escapes from your feverish mouth

No matter how many of them are out there

It will always be me that you will never forget

Let us enjoy this supernatural realm

Because reality is too hard for both of us

We can never be together

Let my lips be your last memory

No matter how many of them are out there

It will always be me that you will never forget

Let us enjoy this supernatural realm

Because reality is too hard for both of us

We can never be together

Everything that your hand does

Is like magic

Gliding into an enchanted forest

Fingers like Picasso

Bliss…pure bliss

Your hands seem to have a mind of its own

I can’t take no more, I can’t think straight

The more you are getting near to me

The more I am afraid

Fear that it will end soon

Nothing stays forever

I am an illusion and You are an Illusion

We can never be real

Running through a maze of thoughts, we collide

Illusions of us, in dreams where we hide

Floating through time, suspended in space

No need to wake up, let this love embrace

[Chorus]

You and I, lost in this reverie

Fleeting moments, like waves in the sea

Nope....this is not about that movie years ago that bears the same title above starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, although I'm always a fan of anything 80's vibe. Hugh Grant as a washed-up, former 80's Pop Star who wants to stay relevant by being a composer for this famous singer ( a cross between Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey's oozing sex appeal).

Imagine now....anything is possible with AI (praying it won't turn into Skynet!)

In between, 4 cups of coffee enough to ignite my brain and digging up my old poetries in some long forgotten creative dungeon. I decided to pick one up, never before published a rather cheesy poem and turn into lyrics with the help of UDIO, an AI music generator.

Yes...it was one of those episodes when the "Dark Side" of the force takes over!

I was amazed, speechless as of this writing of the results. Of course, you can generate music with prompts here and there including the album cover.

I might as well infuse some originality into it, but I can't remember what I clicked because at the end of the song...I did a double-take when I heard it.

Hey....I don't write like this. This isn't me anymore

Running through a maze of thoughts, we collide

Illusions of us, in dreams where we hide

Floating through time, suspended in space

No need to wake up, let this love embrace

[Chorus]

You and I, lost in this reverie

Fleeting moments, like waves in the sea

And AI has outdone me!

So what does makes me now? A Songwriter?

As someone who is a music lover and Spotify advocate, should I be hearing a different tune like "alarm bells?"

or am I being paranoid? Maybe I should stop watching in the distance future anymore "Terminator" sequels.
