“Marvelous Wonderous”

Those are words describing God, not AI. These are also the first words of the song lyrics inspired from a Bible study with other Christians of Psalm 98 which starts with “Sing to the Lord a New Song!” (NIV)

And The Message says… “Sing to God a brand-new song.” (MSG)

Think about what needs to happen to do that if you take as a directive “O sing unto the Lord a new song…”

So, I used Psalm 98 to inspire the following words.

Marvelous wonderous
oh so many blessings
Amazing victorious
Your name lifted high
Salvation you’ve given us
Oh praise you our Father
We sing of your greatness
Forever blessed, most high!

Salvation revealed
Your Faithfulness we call
Our Judge rules the Earth
While bursting in song

Then it hit me: I could use AI tools to bypass the lengthy process of composing the music myself. Although we own a recording studio and have plenty of production experience, I am more of a producer than a performer, so writing from scratch takes time. Plus, as a lifelong technology enthusiast, this was a perfect opportunity to experiment.

I returned to a tool I had tested a few months ago when I couldn’t find the right background track in my usual paid libraries. After a few promising attempts, I decided to spend the $10 for a month of pro service. It was totally worth it. Let me know your thoughts.

PS: Yes. The image was AI-generated. This was the 2nd prompting after telling it to not use the lyrics in the graphic because it made it look like the words were the actual scripture.

PSALM 98 AGAIN: Multiple Styles

These are listed in the order they were created.

Comments on creation process… Each of these was different. The Mariachi took the most time. Learning how to impact things that are close, but not acceptable is part of the interesting learning of new tech. In other words, AI is for from “push one button and get what you want.” Some of these were manually assembled or edited to “fix” things the Suno system didn’t seem to have the exactness to address. Some, I just had to “fix the ending” because it cut off too quickly. Stuff like that. Did it take too long? Maybe. But sometimes people want to know how I know things. Well… I figure them out. That takes messin’ around with new things. Some work. Some are a waste, until you realize you just confirmed what doesn’t work.
