Title: Isolation Grows

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRHaY_ei6uI

The idea for this song came to me when I was at a local ice cream parlor with my wife. At the table next to us sat a bunch of
teenagers, and all but one girl were staring at their cell phones.
The girl was staring at one of the guys.
This is that girl's song smile

The usual unsolicited information:
  • The girl singing in the video is/was actually 8 famous pop/rock singers (the first to guess all 8 correctly gets a box of extra kudos) quickly morph into each other, realized with Stable Diffusion AI. Of course, the lip sync isn't as good as in a real 3D video, but I kind of like the effect.
    And it never hurts to try something new.
  • In his feedback on my last song, David Cuny asked for "even more contrast" between the parts.
    I decided to use volume as my weapon of choice.
  • There are (according to the spell checker on this forum) 2 explicit words in the lyrics.
    If that's a problem for you, just close your ears grin
  • Unlike the usual "normal verse, loud chorus" I did the opposite because, well, why not?

Special thanks (again) to Marty for proofreading the lyrics and encouraging words.
And to David Cuny for the help during the early stages of writing the lyrics.
You guys are great!
