Intro
This music is a collaboration with GPT-3, JukeBox AI, The Smiths, and myself. The process to generate these were as follows:
The best of those recordings are presented here.
-
I used GPT-3 to create a set of song titles for a new The Smiths album.
-
From the new song titles, I promoted GPT-3 to generate a set of lyrics in the style of The Smiths.
-
I then used the Google colab notebook Zags_Main_3.7fix (which uses a version of OpenAi's JukeBox Ai Model) to generate new music.

I’m On Fire (cover)
Original lyrics by Bruce Springsteen
[Verse 1]
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
[Verse 2]
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
[Verse 3]
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night, I wake up with the sheets soakin' wet
And a freight train runnin' through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

How Can She Find Time To Be So Unkind — take 1
Verse 1:
This is your life, it's ending one minute at a time
The sands of time are slipping away, don't go wasting your days
You can't rewind, and you can never start over again
Chorus:
This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time
The sands of time are slipping away, don't go wasting your days
You can't rewind, and you can never start over again
Verse 2:
The world's still spinning, but only just enough to get you from one day, to the next
And the days are getting shorter, they're stalling before your eyes
What's worth preserving, is reading between the lines
Bridge:
We still see the future ahead of us, but it seems to always remain in sight
And we can't jump the track into the passing lane
No amount of wishing will bring tomorrow sooner than it has to arrive
It takes all of our will, just to run the race
Chorus
What's worth preserving, is reading between the lines
Verse 3:
You won't be able to restart, no, you can't stop the tape
You can't rewind, and you can never start over again
Outro:
This is your life, it's ending one minute at a time
Ain't a damn thing funny, when you look it in the eye
They're stalling before your eyes
What's worth preserving, is reading between the lines
This is your life, it's ending one minute at a time
The sands of time are slipping away, don't go wasting your days
You can't rewind, and you can never start over again
Chorus:
This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time
The sands of time are slipping away, don't go wasting your days
You can't rewind, and you can never start over again

I Can See You In The Dark
That was a harsh thing to say.
I've already made up my mind.
I'm going away. Where it's peaceful, I can only stay 'till you go.
You're the only one that loves me, but you don't know what it's like,
To be tired of struggle and useless compromise.
Chorus:
I can see you in the dark. The light you hold is so beautiful.
I can hear your laughter ringing, I can see you in the dark.
Verse 2:
So much to say to you, but it's more than I can do now.
I'd have cried like a man if I'd thought it would help,
But holding it down will be part of my future, so I don't mind.
You're the only one that loves me, but you don't know what it's like,
To be tired of struggle and useless compromise.
Chorus:
I can see you in the dark. The light you are holding is so beautiful.
I can hear your laughter ringing I can see you in the dark.
Bridge:
I could write you poems if I could get my mind clear but I can't right now.
I want to cry like a man. Emotions curdle and dry up into bitterness inside
And I can't bring myself to laugh. No, I won't bring myself to laugh.
No, I won't bring myself to laugh. No, I won't bring myself to laugh.
Chorus:
I can see you in the dark. The light you hold is so beautiful.
I can hear your laughter ringing, I can see you in the dark.
I've already made up my mind.
I'm going away. Where it's peaceful, I can only stay 'till you go.
You're the only one that loves me, but you don't know what it's like,
To be tired of struggle and useless compromise.
Chorus:
I can see you in the dark. The light you hold is so beautiful.
I can hear your laughter ringing, I can see you in the dark.

No, I won't bring myself to laugh. No, I won't bring myself to laugh.
Chorus:
I can see you in the dark. The light you hold is so beautiful.
I can hear your laughter ringing, I can see you in the dark.
I Know It’s Over, And Yet I’m Standing Here
Verse 1:
I know it's over, and yet I'm standing here,
And the tears are still in my eyes.
Doesn't matter how I try,
How can I just turn and walk away?
Well, you may fool the others,
But you can't fool me
Because I know it's over.
Chorus:
It's over, it's over, it's over.
Verse 2:
I know it's over, and yet I'm still hoping
That you'll get in touch again some day.
But the winds of change are blowing
And this has all got to end,
So you go your way, and I'll go mine.
Chorus:
It's over, it's over, it's over.
Verse 3:
I know it's over, and yet I'm still trying
To remember how it feels to touch your skin.
But you're so far away,
And I just can't believe
This is the end.
Chorus:
It's over, it's over, it's over.
I know it's over, and yet I'm standing here,
And the tears are still in my eyes.
Doesn't matter how I try,
How can I just turn and walk away?
Well, you may fool the others,
But you can't fool me
Because I know it's over.
Chorus:
It's over, it's over, it's over.
Verse 2:
I know it's over, and yet I'm still hoping
That you'll get in touch again some day.
But the winds of change are blowing
And this has all got to end,

Chorus:
It's over, it's over, it's over.

To remember how it feels to touch your skin.
But you're so far away,
And I just can't believe
This is the end.
Chorus:
It's over, it's over, it's over.
