With the emergence of generative software like Suno to generate music for texts and lyrics, I’ve become taken with songwriting. Ideas for stories and essays that have never seen the light of day have now found expression. Because I tend to obsess over every word, the more limited word count makes songs more attainable; and, without the need for links and formatting, editing on the bus and train is easier while commuting. Finally, it’s just fun to listen to all the iterations Suno’s algorithms spit out on the way to the final version. So, thanks to a couple millennia of music makers that provided the training data; and, thanks to the developers who formulated the math to derive new songs from that deep sonic well. This song, “Run Into Reality”, is inspired by Dallas Willard’s potent observation that “reality is what you run into when you’re wrong”. The philosophical and pop cultural references are legion, so notes are appended.
