[Verse 1]

This Warm summer's day a band plays

On a stage of songs of yesterdays

Painted smiles on contorted faces

Strumming patterns of equal paces


[Chorus]

Tick-tock four fours on the clock

Bounded by time, chained to a rock

Tick-tock three fours on the clock

Still bounded, but different rock


[Verse 2]

See the street lined with crowds

Of empty faces hidden in shrouds

Mindless lockstepping is the band

Playing the same tune, rather bland


[Chorus]

Tick-tock four fours on the clock

Bounded by time, chained to a rock

Tick-tock three fours on the clock

Still bounded, but different rock


[Verse 3]

Mechanical sounds whirring along

Playing different tunes of songs

A man waves ten for them to away

For this style is not for today


[Chorus]

Tick-tock four fours on the clock

Bounded by time, chained to a rock

Tick-tock three fours on the clock

Still bounded, but different rock


[Bridge]

See the old man rock his rocker

Once a rocker now an old mocker

Waving his cane with much disdain

Humming tunes of old, tired refrains


[Outro]

Tick-tock the sands of time march on

The old man screams to be off his lawn

Tick-tock a movement in music evolution

Generational opined noise pollution

  • That’s a very catchy chorus man
    Good job lyrically
  • Doesn't convey much to me, I'm afraid.

  • @RainyDayMan - owen, that's fine.. I didn't expect it to resonate.. it's really my take on people who, throughout time, has always complained about the new music come out.. and my boredom with music and how AI music to me, is game changer. it' next in the music evolution.. they said the same thing when EDM first came out,...

  • @ElvisNash - thanks. I like the chorus also,

    Some people hear only what they want to hear, and comment based on who's sayin' it.

    That's life, and all forums reflect the outside world, like it or not.

    The song's no better or worse than dozens of CW songs posted on here over the age.

    Many praised to the high heavens, others at best ignored. But you knew that anyway!

    If you've got somethin' to say then sing it, maybe just change your name if your lookin' for plaudits.

    Nice one Bill, reminds me of one I wrote a while back, called the Minstrel and the Fool, think I'll dig it out.

  • @sidshovel - I’d be interested in hearing it. Think I’ll start a new genre called sarcastic abstraction 😂
  • @sidshovel for the comment

    @bhengen while I don't agree with the message as in the boredom of non-AI music because I don't find it boring at all, I love seeing you use your poetic license to express precisely how you feel.

    It just occurred to me the advent of AI being used more widely is like the old Memorex advertising slogan: "Is it real, or is it Memorex?." LOL! 😍 Might have to write one, "Is it real, or is it AI"? This would not downplay AI just as the slogan up-played, Memorex.

  • @HummerWisdom -renee my problem is that I hear a lick and it reminds me of a dozen songs. In all new genre your always going to have detractors, look at jazz
  • @bhengen what's a lick? (just kidding!) 😍
