The Last Luddite Songwriter
Just finished reading RDM's piece on Ai in recent discussions. Highly recommended read.
Got me thinking about the impact of Ai on the music industry in general and songwriting in particular.
Luddite: a person opposed to new technology or ways of working.
N.B. Before anyone jumps down my throat, I don't hold a position one way or the other on this issue!
intro (old computer generated voice)
verse 1
The guitar is in the corner showing rust.
My mind's given up it's gathering dust.
It's Ai this and Ai that, what's it all about?
A quantum leap in music, there's no doubt.
verse 2
My lines allude to words that passed between us,
Ai got its lyrics from the side of a passing bus.
We sign off with pet names we call each other,
the algorithm pauses and doesn't even bother.
chorus
My Ai signs it's missives Alfie Igginbottom.
I know that my love songs will delight her.
Ai pens something from Johnny Rotten,
mine, from the heart, of the last luddite songwriter.
verse 3
Alfie needs the time, to scrape the internet.
A protest song, anthem, soon but not quite yet.
Songs are born and spring from the deep soul,
Alfie's never felt a thing, cold and black as coal.
chorus
My Ai signs it's missives Alfie Igginbottom.
I know that my love songs will delight her.
Ai pens something from Johnny Rotten,
Mine, from the heart, of the last luddite songwriter.
bridge
Love against the code, the heart will be the mightier.
There's always room left for, the last luddite songwriter.
chorus
My Ai signs it's missives Alfie Igginbottom.
I know that my love songs will delight her.
Ai pens something from Johnny Rotten,
mine, from the heart, of the last luddite songwriter.

Very topical! And good fun to boot.
"last luddite songwriter" has a real ring to it.
But do you let AI set it to music or does that defeat the purpose? 😆

Out of respect to all those who advocate Ai will destroy the industry, I will not allow Ai to adulterate these lyrics.
