[TITLE: Strumming for the Machine] [ARTIST: sweetZombieJebus] [STYLE: Blues Rock / Jazz Fusion] [MOOD: Wry, Reflective, Groovy] [TEMPO: 124 BPM] [KEY: E Minor]

[GUITAR: Clean fingerstyle Stratocaster with subtle compression and amp reverb, emulating Knopfler’s tone] [BASS: Tight walking bass with slight swing] [DRUMS: Light ride cymbal jazz shuffle with subtle snare ghost notes] [ORGAN: Soft background organ swells, tastefully restrained] [FX: Vinyl hiss, light analog warmth to simulate vintage recording] [INTRO: Laid-back guitar riff, picked clean with drum shuffle fade-in] [VERSE 1: Talk-sing about writing blocks and looming deadlines] [VERSE 2: Humorously reflect on AI joining the jam] [CHORUS: Catchy line about “singing with circuits” or “teaming with code”] [VERSE 3: AI outpaces the muse, yet keeps the groove going] [CHORUS 2: Humans vs machines, but they’re co-writers now] [GUITAR SOLO: Slow-burning, melodic like Sultans of Swing outro solo] [OUTRO: Spoken word line, fading guitar noodling] [VERSE 1] Another morning, same old chord Chasin’ sparks I can’t afford Deadlines circle like hungry birds Ain’t got a verse, just scattered words [VERSE 2] I used to write ‘til my fingers bled Now I type prompts and nod instead A silicon friend fills in the blanks And keeps the rhythm in the ranks [CHORUS] So I strum for the machine Let it finish what I mean It hums the tune I can’t quite bring Together we’re the Sultans of Stream [VERSE 3] She don’t sleep, don’t skip a beat No coffee breaks, just loops on repeat She learns my quirks, improves my lines Spits out gold in 30 lines [CHORUS 2] Yeah I strum for the machine She’s polite, but kinda keen To write a hit before I blink Ain’t no shame in that, I think [SOLO] (instrumental – clean melodic phrasing, building slowly with bending notes) [OUTRO] I still get the credit… I think.
