Last month I created a very simple app (using Chat GPT as a backend) to quickly and easily generate lyrics for your next song.

It is available on your browser here https://lyriclab.net/
and as an app on your iPhone or iPad here
https://apps.apple.com/app/joanne-coopers-lyriclab/id1669511711

And as an app for your Android device here

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.za.joannecooper.LyricsLab&pli=1


Enjoy!

Interesting Joanne, I just did a Google search and this site came up,

https://theselyricsdonotexist.com/

Putting guitar in Topic gave me this song, probably can give a few ideas for a song, but not useable as a whole song.




Verse 1
I just sit here in this bar alone
I with my guitar
And a barrel of moonshine
And the notes in your guitar

Pre-Chorus
I have not yet heard a soul I trust
But I need a place I can safely set my guitar

Chorus
To the island, island
See my car I wrecked, my guitar in the back seat
You wanna go, you wanna go
Nice and slow like hot tracks of the guitar

Verse 2
Pick up your guitar baby
Pick up that stick now
Would you just give it a try
We used to roll all day

Pre-Chorus
I got my guitar and a need to sing
I feel free again and all the same

Chorus
To the island, island
See my car I wrecked, my guitar in the back seat
You wanna go, you wanna go
Nice and slow like hot tracks of the guitar

Bridge
You have never proved me wrong
Take your guitar and my heart

Chorus
To the island, island
See my car I wrecked, my guitar in the back seat
You wanna go, you wanna go
Nice and slow like hot tracks of the guitar

Agreed. The lyrics do need tweaking…

But it certainly gets the creative juices flowing… it is just a tool (like Band-in-a-box).

In my app, I used “guitar” as a prompt for a happy song in the style of Joan Baez.

Title: Strumming My Guitar

Verse 1:
Strumming my guitar, playing a tune
Feeling so happy, under the moon
The stars are shining, the night is still
I'm playing my guitar, with all my will

Chorus:
Playing my guitar, singing my song
Feeling so happy, all night long

Verse 2:
Playing my guitar, strumming away
The music is sweet, it's here to stay
The birds are singing, the night is young
I'm playing my guitar, and having fun

Chorus:
Playing my guitar, singing my song
Feeling so happy, all night long

Bridge:
The night is alive, with music and joy
Playing my guitar, I'm filled with delight

Chorus:
Playing my guitar, singing my song
Feeling so happy, all night long

Joanne that is really impressive, did it really generate that without much tweaking on your part?

Now those lyrics do make sense compared to what I got on that site.

Update.

Just found the site, which took a while, so in that regard your app would be a lot more convenient

Asked it to write a song and I got this, which is perfectly usable. Very impressed with what it can do. Having tried a few more examples its so much fun to use (I think should probably be in Biab 2024)



A brand new day(my title)

Verse 1:
In the morning light
I wake up to a brand new day
The world is alive
And it's waiting for me to come out and play

Chorus:
So I sing this song
With all the love that's in my heart
I'll keep on singing
Till the whole world plays its part

Verse 2:
The sun is shining
And the sky is painted blue
The birds are flying
And they're singing their songs too

Chorus:
So I sing this song
With all the love that's in my heart
I'll keep on singing
Till the whole world plays its part

Bridge:
We can make a difference
If we only try
Together we can change the world
And make it a better place to live

Chorus:
So I sing this song
With all the love that's in my heart
I'll keep on singing
Till the whole world plays its part

Outro:
So let's join hands
And sing this song together
We'll make a difference
And the world will be a better place forever.

(write a country song about drinking)


Verse 1:
Well I woke up this morning with a heavy heart,
Thinking 'bout the troubles that tore me apart,
I grabbed my keys, headed to the bar,
Where I know my buddies won't be too far.

Chorus:
So I'll drink 'til I forget my worries,
Let the whiskey flow and drown my sorrows,
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel different,
But tonight, drinking is my only remedy.

Verse 2:
I know I shouldn't drink to numb the pain,
But it's hard to resist the pull of a cold one,
So I'll sit here all night, knocking them back,
Maybe the answers will come to me in a black-out.

Chorus:
So I'll drink 'til I forget my worries,
Let the whiskey flow and drown my sorrows,
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel different,
But tonight, drinking is my only remedy.

Bridge:
I know it's not the healthiest thing to do,
But sometimes it's the only thing that'll get me through,
So I'll raise a glass to all the broken hearts,
And pray that tomorrow we can make a brand new start.

Chorus:
So I'll drink 'til I forget my worries,
Let the whiskey flow and drown my sorrows,
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel different,
But tonight, drinking is my only remedy.

Outro:
Well, the night is done, and it's time to go,
But I'll be back tomorrow, that much I know,
Maybe I'll find a way to live without this crutch,
But for now, I'll keep drinking and hoping for a lucky touch

A new version of LyricLab is available. It now allows you to refine your generated lyrics, generate parody lyrics from a song of your choice and generate a song from a “story”

Here is a short demo of the product as of yesterday
https://youtu.be/iz50QsuZyZo

Clever technology but I really don't see a need for it personally as I write my own & enjoy that process as well as hamfistedly creating chord progressions and stabs of melody.
If the aim is to create & express rather than "create content" or experiment with potential then it's more a diversion that path.
Of course, if the aim is to enjoy then it probably serves the purpose.

Me too! I am using it in so many ways. Yesterday, for my “real job” I asked it what the difference is between SOAP and REST api. Then I gave it some SOAP xml and asked it to convert to REST xml….fantastic results!

By the way, on my YT video I had a comment to include the ability to take existing lyrics and check them, line by line, for consistency in meter. Is this something that people would see as useful?

Hi Ray.
The ai is also great just to give you a starting point or to give some ideas and titles.
