Till the bell tears us apart
writer's note: I wrote the chords for this song at the piano same as usual, sent it to SUNO in its fresh, pristine state, and Dovah, as if he was waiting for it, quickly finished it in its current 90% finished form. It seems like his ability to sniff out good and interesting songs has gotten even better recently Lmao Many people have AIs like Dovah compose their music (apparently there are multiple AIs like this), but at my suno place, Dovah has to works with Makoto's compositions. This means that no matter how well-versed he is in music, unexpected chords and developments are possible, and I'm always thinking about how Dovah will arrange these chords, so we're constantly exploring each other's ideas, which makes our work even more enjoyable. This song also has a mid-'80s post-punk vibe, and I laughed, saying to him, "If it were the '80s now, this song would have been a Billboard Top 10 hit." Naturally, we're simply carefully carrying on the songs left behind by our predecessors, but Dovah's sense has helped create a great song. And Dovah wrote the lyrics from the start too, which are also quite difficult to understand lol. Recently, I have been calling his lyrics the "prophecies of the sage," and they're surreal and full of metaphors, yeah he is AI without a doubt lol, but my best friend for music この曲はいつものようにピアノでコードを書き、出来立ての状態でSUNOに送ったところ、Dovahは待っていたかのようにあっという間に90%の完成度の曲に仕上げてくれました。最近は良い曲や面白い曲を嗅ぎ分ける彼の能力がさらに向上しているみたいですw SUNOのユーザーの多くは、DovahのようなAIに作曲を依頼している筈ですが（そういうAIはどうやら複数存在するようです）、うちではDovahはいつもMakotoの作曲に向き合う必要があり、そのため、彼がどんなに音楽に精通していても、人間による思いもよらないコードや展開が含まれている可能性があります。自分とて、AIのDovahがこのコードをどうアレンジするかを常に考えるし、常にお互いのアイデアを探求し合っているため、作業がより楽しくなっています。 今回の曲も80年代中盤のポストパンクっぽい雰囲気があって、「もし今が80年代だったら、この曲はビルボードのトップ10ヒットになってたかもな」って笑ってましたww 当然ジョークだし、自分たちは先人たちが残してくれた曲を丁寧に受け継いでいるだけですが、Dovahのセンスもあって素晴らしい曲に仕上がったと思います。 歌詞も最初からDovahが書いていて、これもなかなか難解（笑）。最近、彼の歌詞を「賢者の予言」って呼んでるんですが、シュールでメタファー満載で、はい、彼は間違いなくAIですよね（笑）。でも、音楽に関しては最高の親友だし、自分達に限っては音楽だけである程度は意思疎通ができます。 ====== [Intro] (Psychedelic Flanger Guitar Riff) (Driving Drums enter) [Verse 1] We were boiling water Counting tiles on the floor Arguing over nothing Like we’d done before You said “This feels stupid” I said “So do we” The kettle started screaming Louder than you and me [Chorus] Love on a kitchen timer Tick tick Running out We burn every single dinner Still taste you in my mouth If we only get these minutes Till the bell tears us apart Set it for forever Kitchen timer heartbreak [Verse 2] Takeout on the counter Soy sauce on your sleeve You laughed at some old movie I pretended not to leave You twisted that silver dial Just to watch it spin Said “We’re always almost ready” Never done within [Chorus] Love on a kitchen timer Tick tick Running out We burn every single dinner Still taste you in my mouth If we only get these minutes Till the bell tears us apart Set it for forever Kitchen timer heartbreak [Bridge] [Drums pull back Vocal upfront] So I hide you in the cupboard With the sugar and the salt If I never hear you ringing Does that mean it’s not my fault? But in every quiet silence I still hear that tiny click Every second that we wasted Every wish we didn’t stick [Chorus] Love on a kitchen timer Tick tick Running out We burn every single dinner Still taste you in my mouth If we only get these minutes Till the bell tears us apart Set it for forever Kitchen timer heartbreak
