--- Ok, wanted to get a full 50 50 blend of Country and EDM. Had to play around with the prompt a fair amount. Since I was going with the concept that writing songs is a lot like riding a mechanical bull, I thought I would throw in an "industrial edge", but it didn't quite have enough edge to it. Then I remembered "Outlaw Country", and used that as the foundation. Had to specify "female" even though I was using a persona as the first gens with Outlaw were male singers. But, with the right tinkering, I got what I wanted. Some nice elements in this one and the interlude worked quite well. Cruising right along with the Country EDM "album". Not sure what's going to be next, but I'm sure it will be fun! :-) ~David --- [Musical Introduction] [Kick and acoustic guitar enter together] [Rising EDM Fiddle tension] [Verse 1] Some nights the words come flying in Like sparks off a spinning wheel Some nights I’m gripping white-knuckled Praying this thing will feel real I’ve stared down blank page silence Like a gate that won’t unlock Then one line kicks and I’m airborne Hanging on to the shock [Pre-Chorus] They say, “Why don’t you slow it down?” But they don’t hear what I hear That hum right before it starts That says the muse is near [Chorus] Writing songs like riding a bull Hold on tight, let it pull Sometimes fast, sometimes cruel But the ride makes me alive I hit the dirt, I laugh it off Dust on my boots, heart racing hot I climb back up every time I fall ’Cause the ride makes me alive [Verse 2] Some hooks buck hard, throw me clean Before I know what I wrote Some just stand there staring back Like they’re daring me to choke But when it moves—oh when it moves— There ain’t nothing like that sound It’s chaos dressed up as magic Trying to shake me to the ground [Pre-Chorus] Every scar’s a lesson learned Every fall a rite I don’t chase perfection I chase that spark of light [Musical Interlude] [EDM drop with guitar riff synced to kick] [Adlibs] Hold on— Don’t blink— Let's GO WILD . . . [EDM Electric Fiddle Solo] [Chorus] Writing songs like riding a bull No safety net, no rules Lose control, regain it too But the ride makes me alive If it scares me, that’s the sign I’m exactly in my time I’d rather fall than never try ’Cause the ride makes me alive [Verse 3] They see the lights, they hear the roar Think it’s easy once you’re on They don’t feel the silence first Or the nights you go unheard But I’ll keep feeding dollars in Till the thing starts to spin If this is how I earn my wings Then throw me off again [Bridge] I don’t need it smooth I don’t need it tame I need that moment Where it calls my name [Musical Interlude] [Half-drop, tension rebuild, stomp-clap rhythm] [Final Chorus] Writing songs like riding a bull Bruised and breathing, beautiful Every spin reminds me why The ride makes me alive If I ever start to play it safe That’s the day I walk away I was born to feel the fight Yeah, the ride makes me alive [Lyrical Outro] [Intimate, almost spoken] If it throws me… I’m getting back on [Musical Ending] [Kick fades, guitar rings out]
