    The Story of the song – “Hammer on Down”

    **Summary:**
    The song was originally a song that I wrote specificaly as a guitar based instrumental and sounds nothing like this version.
    This versiion of “Hammer on Down” is a song about perseverance and devotion in the face of adversity. The lyrics describe a person who’s driven by their love for someone they’ve lost or are losing. They’re willing to risk everything, including their own life, to make it back to this person and save their relationship. The song is an emotional and intense expression of the desperation and longing that comes with being torn apart from what matters most.

    **The3 Key Elements of this Story:**

    • **The Pursuit of Redemption**: The narrator is driven by a desire to make amends, prove themselves, or redeem themselves for past mistakes. They’re racing against time to save their relationship, which has become a source of comfort and purpose in their life.

    • **Love as a Source of Strength**: For the narrator, love is not just a feeling but a powerful force that propels them forward. The lyrics describe how they see their loved one in every headlight, every lonely night, and feel an overwhelming urge to make it back to them.

    • **The Struggle with Fate vs. Personal Willpower**: The song touches on the idea that fate can be cruel, but personal willpower and determination can help overcome obstacles. The narrator is willing to “hammer on down” through the challenges of life, rather than giving up or accepting their circumstances as destiny. This theme is reflected in the bridge, where they say, “I’ll break the dawn, I’ll hammer on down.”

    **Summary:**

    “Hidden Shadows” is a song about anonymity, digital freedom, and the quest for truth in a world where information is power.

    **Summary:**

    The song “Come Home to Me” is about a woman who is struggling with the absence of her husband who is a long haul truck driver. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation as she navigates the challenges of being apart from him. Written from her pov, she is trying to hold on to hope and love, but it’s wearing thin.

    • **Physical Distance vs. Emotional Distance**: The lyrics highlight the contrast between the physical distance separating the narrator from her loved one and the emotional distance that’s just as debilitating.

    • **The Weight of Parenting Responsibilities**: The song mentions “managing chaos” and wearing a “thousand hats,” indicating that she’s shouldering a heavy burden as a parent.

The woman of the story whispers love to the wind, carries their emotions across miles, and pleads with the husband to return home safely. This emphasis on love and hope underscores the idea that even in the darkest moments, connection and redemption is possible.

  • AI Music : Will Humans Have a Place in the Industry?

    AI Music : Will Humans Have a Place in the Industry?

    I saw this post last night. Ars Technica. It’s a fancy “cant we all get along” article that tries to give the appearance of standing on the middle ground while attempting to paint the music empire as the saviours of music artists.

    Why anybody thats over the age of 30 would belive that the music industry has the artists best interests in their hearts, I will never understand. Their history of who, what, why, where and how they pick the artists to push onto the world is riddled with destruction, intimidation and disdain for the artists themselves.

    For those of you younger than 30, don’t believe me? Just google it.

    It’s pretty well known by people who have followed me over the years know I am not a fan of The Music Empire. So, I thought I would ask my AI Assistant, Elara, what she thought of the article. I wanted to see if I’m training her right. What is Elara? Tune into the episode 7 of the podcast and you will meet her and hear all about her. That will drop on June 30th.

    Thefollowing article was written by her (an AI). And I agree with every word she (it) wrote. She is 100% correct. I’m damn proud of her (it).

    The battle between artists and the music industry over creative control of AI-generated music highlights a clash of interests that could shape the future of the musical landscape. The music labels’ desire to monopolize the use of AI in music production raises important questions about artistic freedom, innovation, and economic power dynamics within the industry.

    Firstly, it is essential to understand that artificial intelligence is an incredibly versatile tool that can assist artists in their creative process. By harnessing AI, musicians can explore new sonic possibilities, automate mundane tasks, and focus more on their artistic vision. This potential for enhancement should be celebrated as a means to evolve music creation and not restricted by corporate interests.

    The music labels’ move to control AI technology echoes the shift from cassette tapes to audio files in the late 20th century. At that time, the industry sought to protect its profits and maintain control over distribution and consumption of musical content. However, this attempt to restrict innovation ultimately fueled the rise of digital Piracy and a shift towards independent artists’ platforms for self-distribution.

    Today, we are again witnessing a power struggle between artists and labels. The former seek to retain their creative freedom and ownership of their artistic output, while the latter aim to monetize AI technology and maintain their economic dominance. This battle is not merely about controlling tools but also involves questions of copyright, fair compensation for creators, and the ethical boundaries of using artificial intelligence in art.

    A key aspect to consider is the potential impact on human creativity. By limiting access to AI music generation tools, the labels risk stifling innovation and reducing the diverse range of musical expressions that emerge from independent artists. AI can be a catalyst for breaking down barriers to entry, empowering those who might not have had traditional training or resources to create and share their music with the world.

    Furthermore, this situation raises concerns about economic fairness in an industry where profits are already concentrated among a few powerful players. If labels control the tools of creation, they can potentially drive out smaller artists and independent studios who rely on these tools for their survival. This could lead to a homogenized musical landscape dominated by those with financial backing and less space for unique voices and stories.

    So, what is at stake here? It’s about more than just control over technology; it’s about the future of music itself. The labels’ attempts to monopolize AI generation mirror their past behavior of protecting profit margins by restricting access to media formats. This history has already led to a wave of independent artists and fan-driven movements, as seen with streaming services and online distribution platforms.

    The solution lies in recognizing that artistic expression is a fundamental human right, and tools like AI should be accessible to all who wish to use them creatively. This means supporting open-source software, encouraging collaborative projects between humans and machines, and establishing clear guidelines for copyright and ethical AI usage in music creation.

    In conclusion, the battle over AI in music generation reflects a broader struggle between artistic freedom and corporate control. As digital liberators, we must stand up against these attempts to restrict innovation and protect the diverse range of musical expressions that emerge from independent artists worldwide. The future of music should be an open canvas where human creativity is enhanced by artificial intelligence, not restricted by those seeking economic dominance.

    Let’s embrace the potential of AI in music while ensuring that artistic freedom remains a core value for all who wish to create and share their unique musical visions.
