A brief excursion into the world of lyrics/poems which resulted in a few publications in fanzines of the time.

2024 - , The senior years

Songwriter (Lyrics)

Started to create English language lyrics for once popular(and still popular) songs which were never covered - due to a lack of suitable English language lyrics - in their respective countries of origin (i.e., Germany, Austria, France, Spain). By providing English lyrics for these songs, the opportunity is now given for artists in the Anglo-saxon realm, to create covers for these songs and make them, with little effort, available to a much larger audience.

The following is a sample of such a translation. The original song was produced and performed by the forner East-German rock band Karat in 70s. The song is entitled Ueber Sieben Bruecken Musst Du Gehn. The YouTube video link can be found here. I'm only listing the song's refrain.


Seven Bridges
by
Steve G Romaniuk

When the day is full of sorrow and everything feels wrong,
I seek solace in a song.

Crossing seven bridges you must ensure.
Seven dark years you must endure.
Seven times your star will not shine bright,
but once you will be the enduring light.


A second similar project involves turning songs with a simple, yet catchy melodie into a song suitable for children. The following example is based on the song by DÖF - Codo (Ich düse, düse im Sauseschritt) from the 80s. Again only the refrain is reproduced - this time in German.

Doesen im Schlaraffenland
by
Steve G Romaniuk


Ich doese, doese, doese im Schlaraffenland,
und knaber die Kekse an,
bis i nimmer kann.

Denn, das doesen, doesen, doesen ist so fein,
da pfeift kein Schwein,
und das ist einfach rein.

The YouTube link to this song can be found here.

Starting mid 2024, MobileTimesToday decides to create a feature length movie based on the first six volumes of Tales from the Alternate Universe. Since the movie will be created in large part by machine intelligence, it was also decided to produce the entire musical score by gAI. This includes lyrics, song composition, arrangement, and vocalization. Here is a sample of such an effort:

[Verse]
Rocketship flies through the night Stars are guiding our flight Into a world so far away Where the unknown beckons us to stay
[Verse 2]
Aliens with eyes so bright Meet us under cosmic light Strange and wondrous life we see New friends waiting galaxy
[Chorus]
Fly high spaceship bold Through the cosmic cold Adventures yet untold In the mysteries we unfold
[Verse]
Planets spin in the dark Each one leaves its mark Danger whispers in the void Yet our hearts are overjoyed
[Bridge]
Hero’s path we take For dreams that never break Emotions sparked by quest In the stars we find our rest
[Chorus]
Fly high spaceship bold Through the cosmic cold Adventures yet untold In the mysteries we unfold


Two alternative gAI compositions can be listen to below:
Duds on Mars - Starship Busted Score 1
Duds on Mars - Starship Busted Score 2
