Lyrics

Here is a lyric AI came up with:

(Verse 1)
In the shimmer of the twilight, where shadows play,
Whispers of the morning light chase the night away.
Colors dance like secrets, painting skies anew,
Every moment's fleeting, yet timeless, vivid too.

(Chorus)
Oh, we’re lost in an enigmous reality,
Where dreams weave the threads of our shared tapestry.
In this world of wonder, where stories intertwine,
Every glance, a treasure, in the heart, a sign.

(Verse 2)
Through the swirling gardens, where blooms begin to speak,
Breezes hum a melody that stirs the spirit's peak.
Each path holds a riddle, with answers yet to find,
In this realm of magic, where the ordinary shines.

Outro:
Oh, we’re lost in an enigmous reality,..

Emotive and deep. I can't help thinking of Pink Floyd's Saucer full of secrets from about 7 minutes in. Great job.

This strikes me as both pastoral and, yes, a little creepy (I think it's the organ). I definitely hear the "Phantom of the Opera" vibes that @fuzzy references, especially around the 1:30 mark, but there's also a peace a "naturalness" about the song that transcends the catacombs of the opera house, like the Phantom decided to take a road trip to see the wonders of the world outside and decided to play a tune on his portable organ in the middle of a field of flowers.

(Also, I looked up "enigmous" and it doesn't seem to be in any dictionary (or at least Google couldn't find a definition). But I'm fine letting the AI make up new words if that will distract it from launching a nuclear war or something...

Thank you Bill, @dragondreams and @fuzzy for your kind comments and support. The music is not about horror but about our reality which is full of strange things, but hopefully not horror. One lives in hope :)

Whoa, spooky spooky soundtrack from one of them old radio shows!!!
Or yeah, as @billwhite51 says, this should be played with a silent film, like Phantom Of The Opera withy Lon Chaney.
This is really elegant-sounding.
Not sure what I mean by that, but there it is.
Yeah, nice!

I love the atmosphere, the creepy vibe at the start that morphs into a gently haunting theme. I'm seeing a carnival after closing time at dark, the carousel spinning under its own influence, possibly ghosts riding for fun...
I love it!

at first, the music is a little creepy, then it escalates into a haunted carnival setting....reminds me of the music that might have been played to accompany a silent horror film. what would you think of a poem or passage from edgar allen poe spoken over it.?
