Today, I'm having a blast playing with AI compositions on Breed Ban Legislation.
If I discover that the City of Aurora is still euthanizing pit bulls, I'm going to revamp these songs and make them go viral. The android transformed all of my anger. The original version sounded so violent (see below). Good job, Robot!
The mayor and city council got a three-minute phone call about the BSL issue and then they never had to hear my voice again. Now, that we're not allowed to call in and have to be creative, there are other ways to be heard.
I can compose the music, record it correctly, make a heart-tugging video of children mourning their pups, and put it in the public domain. Aurora will never live this down.
Yep, that's the plan. If I can't make it down there to talk about what's bothering me, I'll write a song, record it, maybe even make a video, and post it online. And of course, I'll make sure to mention the City of Aurora, Colorado somewhere in there.
It's only fair.
I'll encourage everyone else to do the same. We have so much talent in this city, let's show it off.
What do you think?
Well, if the higher-ups want us to be quiet, we'll find other ways to make our voices heard.
Hopefully, they'll change their minds.
Making music sure beats running for mayor or an At-Large seat but I still won't count that out.
Hugs and Kisses,
S.
Lyrics: Pitbull Gone Too Soon (Aurora BSL).
[Verse]
Underneath the street lights glowing
We whisper each goodbye softly
Your eyes once bright now showing
A love lost in this city's cruelty
[Verse 2]
In the backyard where you ran free
Memories trapped in our tears
A love we thought they'd let be
Now crushed by unfounded fears
[Chorus]
Oh they took you away too soon
Our hearts breaking lose this tune
In the name of misguided law
They failed to see love's true draw
[Verse 3]
You were a gentle giant of hope
A friend who knew no blame
Yet they're tangled in their rope
And all they see is your name
[Verse 4]
Nights are heavy missing your bark
Days feel longer without your touch
We walk these empty paths so stark
While you rest we miss you much
[Bridge]
City lights don't shine the same
Without your loving presence
We'll keep fighting in your name
Until love breaks through the silence
COUNTRY VERSION:
Here's the country version about a boy who grew to distrust the government.
In a town where the rules were carved in stone,
A boy and his pup felt so alone,
Friendly eyes and a wagging tail,
But a law was passed that sealed the tale.
They said his breed was born to fight,
But all I knew was he held me tight,
Each evening walk, each morning's dawn,
Now they say my best friend's gone.
Gone too soon, taken by the hand of man,A loving heart that they banned,I lost my friend, my pain it grew,In a world where love's just an issue.Mama said, "It's for the best,"
But my heart still pounds inside my chest,
How can love be wrong if it's true?
Do the ones in charge even have a clue?
The days grew cold and nights felt long,
Humming to a silent song,
Dreaming of the times we had,
Now those memories make me mad.
Gone too soon, taken by the hand of man,A loving heart that they banned,I lost my friend, my pain it grew,In a world where love's just an issue.

HERE IS A THRASH METAL VERSION
Pit bull's blood on your hands
City's decree
Unjust command
Beloved friend
Taken too soon
Who gave you the right
Playing God?
Bureaucrats
Cold and cruel
Heartless fools
Despot tools
Innocent lives
You destroy
Raising Hell
Your decoys
Breed ban
Senseless war
Canine lives
You abhor
Legislation
Iron chains
Freedom lost
Endless pain
Bureaucrats
Cold and cruel
Heartless fools
Despot tools
Innocent lives
You destroy
Raising Hell
Your decoys
Questions burn
Justice sought
Empty graves
All for naught
Tears of rage
Empty cries
Who the hell made you God?
Your decoys
Bureaucrats
Cold and cruel
Heartless fools
Despot tools
Innocent lives
You destroy
I'm putting together a Facebook page and seeing if I can recruit my musician buddies to help.
It's not too late for the Aurora City Council to change their minds and take their fingers out of their ears.
I'm getting to work on the art.
If I didn't have to work, I could do this all flippin' day.
Hugs,
S.
