Existence Is Enough (tw)

Liner Notes
From @skullkevin
Some strange lyrics that came out of me writing in my journal.
Themes of mortality and existence, so trigger warning
From David. A great set of very visual and heartfelt lyrics. Ai used to generate the three part harmonies in the latter part of the song via Audimee
Lyrics
They tell me existing is enough But I don't feel enough When you're chained to meds This coaster fades to dust They tell me failure is a must Well I must have had enough Cause when you have to die We choose our time, some time
All those empty album dreams And the times we came to tears I dare myself to dream Of life like all you else When all I wanted was a car And the hang time at the bar
But now I see it right on time My body changed its mind No more will I hang on When the world it turns to dust But just like every schmuck I'll believe it when I'm told We can exist, it's not enough
And I'm not saying you'll be Content without the fritz, see I'm just a vagabond Of this world that I was born in Poor old Neddy had to die But at least I survived But what is it I have When all I take is pills to breathe And the perfect teeth on teevee Tell me I'm not enough
Well, existence is enough And I've had enough Of being seen the victim When I knew not to stick my dick in Crazy countless times It's about time I tried To take less of the cope seed And tap into the greed Well, existence is enough Yeah, tell me I'm not enough
Comments
all the chaotic thoughts on the relative values of life and death weave in and out of this passionate meditation on what has worth and what id worthless. the vocals breath in and exhale out the passing feelings and passing ideas that rise and fall and bump into each other. its an exhilarating ride through a conflicted mind.
@thomekk Using the Ai harmony option was a try out, i don't dismiss AI out of hand as it has its uses. The ability to covert my voice to female for lead of backing vox is amazingly liberating liberating. I don't see this any differently than using orchestral sample of sampled grand pianos.
I think these words are a bit dark but the flow. Thanks for your feedback
You have a great development going on here as it builds up. Plus a catchy song with somewhat depressing lyrics (would be interesting to know how it would have sounded without the parts by AI (or otherwise what they do isolated) - but however, this worked.
Extremely poetic and wonderful. This is Hollywood movie music for sure. Go get the money! 🙏
