I wonder how much of that is AI and how much does the human put into it.. I will attach me having a short conversation with an animator about that side of things.

Peatle, good to hear that this guy and the people he works with, are still doing their art and trade mostly by their human hand and brain.     

neophytte, nice one, good lyrics, thumbs up from me.     

Peatle, clever piece of writing there and a good message in it, well done smile

easybeat, thanks for the feedback, I had fun trying to write this and thankfully it just flowed smile

Affirmative, Richard be good if EB put up the link for this. The roll of humans seems to be getting taken over I'm not sure if all the hard work of credible creatives is going to be ruined by someone pressing just a few buttons and entering a few commands. Did any sci-fi writers in the past predict what is happening with AI now??? Is art any good without human emotion??

haha I loved the Flights of the Conchords back in the day.  They had some great material, musically and comedy wise.  Their best stuff was as a duo in my opinion but of course   they went on to do the TV series in America which was funny too.   Brett McKenzie was involved with many things, but I best remember him in the Wellington Ukulele Orchestra.  Jemaine Clement I remember the best in Flight of the Concords and the American TV series, but of course now he is an actor in many movies.  They have both done really well.

OK I couldn't write a song that worked for the word CUSTODY, so I ended up writing a poem (or something) that has deliberately lots of rhyming (because I know how much some of you love poems that rhyme NOT) lol.  Anyway, as I started writing this poem, it kind of took a twist ......

CUSTODY  written by Jandle (Jan)

Minding my own business, running his company
When suddenly the phone rang, there`s been a tragedy
With shock and tears, I listened reluctantly
To the awful news of how, he had died suddenly
It wasn`t an accident, so I was informed
He had been killed, cruelly and cold-bloodedly

No weapon had been found at the scene unfortunately
But from the looks of the crime scene, a knife had been used quite meticulously
Investigations were ongoing, they were looking for somebody
I hung up the phone and sat there uncomfortably
Thoughts and emotions flowing abundantly

You see, he was the owner of this large drug company
Sadly, he had no remedy for his own murder, unluckily
He had told us he was planning to use new technology
Many of us would be faced with redundancy
Cops interviewed all those that worked at the company
Asking questions, looking at them mistrustfully

And after years of investigation and no suspect to be found
The case finally closed; no criminal had been bound
In the years that followed and in the reading of his Will
A letter had been left for me, from him by all accounts
I opened the envelope, carefully, slicing it with my knife
Turns out he had left CUSTODY of the drug company to me

Here is my rough attempt at a poem song just with my guitar that I wrote.. Hope it makes sense.

I liked your poem song Peatle, I think many people are wondering about this world of ours right now.

Yeah, interesting dilemma.  I am not sure about the whole AI thing at all personally but there seems to be pro`s and con`s.  I think people will lose the satisfaction of it being 100% their own creation but on the other hand, those people who want to create and can`t, it will be their dream come true.  AI is being used in so many different ways now, not just music.  I guess time will tell but I hope people retain their own creativity and not totally rely on AI.

Please  listen and  then comment  on here     just  like  or  dislike  on you  tube   with  out  mentioning  you  know   how  it  came  about . I  would  like  iit  to  be  an experiment .  I  will  reveal  to  you  tube and  face book  later   that  it  is  AI generated in part .

Well, if you hadn't told us, I would never have guessed it was a collaboration between you and AI.  The song was good, so it leaves the question then, how many artists are actually out there now using AI to write their songs and poems.   It's probably even possible to get AI to put the chords in for you if one so desired by the way things are going with AI.

Nicely done easybeat.  I really liked the way you did the "Talk to me" bit in particular, it popped.  I see you used your guitar for this one, but are u teaching it to the ukulele group on your uke?     

Nice one easybeat, comments left on soundcloud.   Nice easy foot tapping beat to this one, very pleasant listening.  And as I said on Soundcloud, I miss receiving and writing those old-fashioned letters, prefer to emails any day.     

Grah1, I like this one, very reflective and how many people in this world of ours feel like at various times of their lives.  Like neophytte, I thought possibly written around covid times?  However, it could apply to any time when people go through loneliness at certain stages of life, or circumstances.  Nice one Grah1.     

Come on, any more entries for this month?  I can`t join in this month as I have put my back out in the last few days, so no strumming for me presently.

She certainly is ~different/unusual/strange~ is how she came across to me watching this particular one easybeat.  I found it a bit disturbing to be honest.  I went and checked out a few of her other videos and found them unusual as well.  Whilst her style is very original, her voice is great, she is not really my cup of tea musically.  All the songs I watched her doing, I found quite melancholy and very unusual, almost creepy in a way.  But that is probably just me, on reading comments from other people on her video`s, 
some people obviously like her style.

Nicely performed Jeff and I like the lyrics.  I am a sleepy head in the morning still, so I can totally relate to it.  I thought I would have grown out of it by now but nope lol.

Far out, now that is memory lane.  I remember going to see them live at the Hamilton Founders theatre back in the day.  Their costumes were a hardcase and how they used to move on stage.  I remember those costumes well lol.  Great music and a crazy faze lol     

easybeat, I enjoyed listening to that, also a good foot tapping song, a great beat and good message.  I miss getting those lovely old handwritten letters, which took time to write, time to post and were lovely to hold, read through and keep if you so desired.  Ahhhh the good old days.

neophytte, that was very enjoyable listening and watching you both play.  The smiles said it all at the end, a good foot tapping effort by you both smile     I have my Fathers auto harp, but I haven't learnt where all the chord buttons are yet, so have to keep stopping to look down at them which kind of ruins it lol but I guess it`s just another practice, practice, practice thing if you want to get any good at it.

I like it!!! Awesome TIG, I look forward to hearing this one.  Some really good lines in there.

That was a great song, used to dance along to that at parties.  I never knew the lead singer was from Split Enz, some new I learned!  Sang along to it, still a great song.
TIGLJK, I already brought the book from Brian, he did an awesome job of it for sure.

Oh wow, that was amazing and what an honor for Neil Finn to have meet and played with not only a talented musician but hero.  Thanks for sharing, Brian, it was very touching to watch.
