Using AI to Write Songs about Mazes
I spend a lot of time experimenting with AI. I wrote a series of blog posts about using it to make mazes (testing 12 different text to image generators). Here are the 2 key posts to read from that series:

WHAT I LEARNED USING AI TO MAKE MAZE ART
On a personal level I use 4 different AI websites. I gravitate to the same 2 for text, and 2 for images, but I am always open to testing something new. For fun, I wanted to test the songwriting ability of AI and here are 2 maze themed songs that I got:
Song 1, was created using Perplexity AI. We got a love song, which actually is pretty good. I can hear this when I read it and it sounds good,
Verse 1:
In this labyrinth of time, I'm lost and I can't find
The way to your heart, it's a puzzle in my mind
Wandering through the twists and turns, I search for a sign
But in this endless maze, your love is so hard to find
Chorus:
Lost in a maze of emotions, I'm trapped in this endless sea
Hoping to find my way to you, and set my heart free
Every path that I take, leads to another dead end
In this maze of love, I'll keep searching, my heart won't bend
Verse 2:
The walls are closing in, and the echoes fill the air
I'm reaching out for you, but it feels like you're not there
I'll keep pushing through the darkness, and the uncertainty
In this intricate maze, I'll find a way to set my love free
Chorus:
Lost in a maze of emotions, I'm trapped in this endless sea
Hoping to find my way to you, and set my heart free
Every path that I take, leads to another dead end
In this maze of love, I'll keep searching, my heart won't bend
Bridge:
I'll navigate the corridors, and I'll break down every wall
I'll conquer this maze, and I'll give it my all
For love is a journey, with obstacles in between
But in this intricate maze, your love is the sweetest dream
Chorus:
Lost in a maze of emotions, I'm trapped in this endless sea
Hoping to find my way to you, and set my heart free
Every path that I take, leads to another dead end
In this maze of love, I'll keep searching, my heart won't bend
And now using Google Bard with the same prompt we got a much different song. When I read this I hear metal. Also a good song.
(Verse 1)
Twisted halls and shadowed doors, a labyrinthine evermore
Wind whispers secrets through the cracks, of paths that turn and never back
Footsteps echo, soft and slow, a heart that hammers to and fro
Lost in the maze, a winding quest, to find the center, find some rest
(Chorus)
Oh, the maze, a tangled mind, where choices twist and leave you blind
Every corner, every bend, another puzzle without end
But listen close, a guiding thread, a whisper in the heart instead
It calls you on, through fear and doubt, to find your way, to rise above
(Verse 2)
Dead ends loom, a chilling sight, but shadows dance with hidden light Illusions flicker, play their game, to trap the soul, to steal the name
But courage holds, a steady flame, to light the path, pronounce your name
The walls will shift, the ground will churn, but hope remains, a fire to burn
(Chorus)
Oh, the maze, a tangled mind, where choices twist and leave you blind
Every corner, every bend, another puzzle without end
But listen close, a guiding thread, a whisper in the heart instead
It calls you on, through fear and doubt, to find your way, to rise above
(Bridge)
The air grows thick, the way unclear, but memories like diamonds appear
Each twist and turn, a lesson learned, a strength that builds, a spirit yearned
The walls recede, the path unfolds, a tapestry of stories told
And in the heart, a compass gleams, to lead you out of haunting dreams
(Chorus)
Oh, the maze, a tangled mind, where choices twist and leave you blind
Every corner, every bend, another puzzle without end
But listen close, a guiding thread, a whisper in the heart instead
It calls you on, through fear and doubt, to find your way, to rise above
(Outro)
Step out the maze, into the light, the victory of conquering the night
The path behind begins to fade, a lesson learned, a choice displayed
The maze remains, within, without, a reminder of the battles fought
But with each step, your spirit grows, and through the maze, your wisdom flows
So that was my song creating experiment. If you want to record these, go for it ! Always interesting to see what AI comes up with and I shouldn’t have been surprised the outputs were so different !
