00:25Long hours, days, months and years
00:27Searching for the perfect song
00:31The creator sits at home
00:34Chained to his computer for hours long
00:37He agonizes over lyrics
00:40The words don't always come
00:44Other times the lyrics flow like a river
00:48To go where they belong
00:51He finds inspiration in history and love
00:56In life experiences and heartbreak
01:01When push comes to shove
01:04In close brushes with death and survival
01:09In his time in live bands and song revivals
01:16The ideas keep on coming
01:19A never ending parade
01:22The creator keeps on making songs
01:26Though he is rarely paid
01:30He thought he'd make an income
01:32He thought he would live well
01:35But the cash is all elusive
01:39Things seem to go to hell
01:44He generates and generates
01:46Looking for the perfect tunes
01:51Metal rock and country
01:53A song to take them to the moon
02:01Instrumentals that bridge language barriers
02:04Techno, trance, dance and EDM
02:07Blending and combining
02:08Blending and combining
02:09Making something special
02:11Something so defining
02:16The market is flooded
02:19The market is intense
02:20As millions are generating now
02:23Billions of song events
02:26All trying to be heard
02:28All trying to be heard
02:30All trying to be seen
02:30All hoping to make money
02:32All enthusiastic and keen
02:36The ideas keep on coming
02:40A never ending parade
02:43The creator keeps on making songs
02:46Though he is rarely paid
02:49He thought he'd make an income
02:52He thought he would live well
02:56But the cash is all elusive
02:59Didn't seem to go to hell
03:29It's looking quite impossible
03:31To make a living from AI
03:34As platforms make new rules
03:38Which can make you disappear
03:41They don't care your heart and soul
03:45Went into all your tunes
03:48They don't care you wrote the lyrics
03:51Or compose the tunes
03:56At least now I have chronicled
03:59Most my life in songs
04:02I'll leave them to my grandkids
04:05For I won't be here long
04:09Songs that tell the stories
04:11Of tragedy
04:13And cheer
04:15Something for my descendants
04:18To say that I was here
04:23To say that I was here
04:30To say that I was here
04:31To say that I was here
04:38To say that I was here
04:38To say that I was here
04:38To say that I was here
04:38To say that I was here
04:38To say that I was here
04:39To say that I was here
04:40To say that I was here
04:42To say that I was here
