FAWM 50/90 song 33
written and recorded on September 23, 2023

I got the new Behringer Solina and wanted to give it a run. Cool.

So, artificial intelligence has been on my mind of late. Not the stuff going on here and now, but somewhere forward or off to the side. Sentience. Life. Biological. Mechanical. Virtual.

Frankenstein or the Creature? Rotwang or Maria? Nathan or Ava, or poor Caleb?

Guild Starfire VI, '52 Tele, Rickenbacker 4003s, Behringer Solina, OB-6, Tama Club Jam, Eventide Space, SA Collider

lyrics

Why do I, why do I need to take my time?
How do I know if I can change your mind?
Where do I go to make this first design?
When do I change the rules to make it mine?

Why do you need it too? That is not yours
It’s not for you to realign or reassure
Another road, another path for you to take
Another day, another night, another break

Why do I, why do I need to turn around?
It’s over here, and over there and underground
Just take a breath and take it slow then we’ll be gone
Another day, another night, another dawn

Not alive, it’s not alive, it’s not alive
I promise you, it’s not alive, it’s just a tool
Follow me and listen too, it’s just a tool
A line of code, a slice of life, and secret rules

Settle down, it’s not the time to move
Now it’s time to go
Pick it up, there are torches everywhere

Why do I, why do I need to change my mind?
How do I, how do I make my first design?
Why do I, why do I need to turn around?
Why am I, why am I deeper underground?
