What a lovely day

Lyrics: What a lovely day

[Inst] (bop jazz, 50s lounge swing, 120 bpm, major key, upright bass and brushed drums with warm piano and brass, smooth male crooner vocal with backing oohs, intro then verse then chorus then verse then chorus then bridge then final chorus, vintage mono warmth with tape saturation and room reverb) [Intro] Streetlight honey on your hair, Summer folds into the air, Cigarette sky, soft and slow, Where the good nights learn to glow. [Solo] I tip my hat to fate and say, “Kid, you picked a lovely day,” And the city, half-asleep, Hums a tune it wants to keep. [interlude] What a lovely day, my dear, Hold it close and keep it near, Let the band swing low and sweet, Put your heart in 4 on the beat. What a lovely day to stay, Let the world roll on its way, If tomorrow comes in gray, Tonight is gold, what a lovely day. [Verse] Taxi laughter down the lane, Little thunder, little rain, But your smile’s a warm hotel, And I’m checked in under its spell. No big speeches, no parade, Just the kind of night we made, With a glass and one more song, Where a lonely guy belongs. [Chorus] What a lovely day, my dear, Hold it close and keep it near, Let the band swing low and sweet, Put your heart in 4 on the beat. What a lovely day to stay, Let the world roll on its way, If tomorrow comes in gray, Tonight is gold, what a lovely day. [Bridge] And if the headlines shout and shake, Let ’em talk, let ’em break, We’ve got moonlight, we’ve got time, And a melody that’s doing fine. [Outro] What a lovely day, my dear, Hold it close and keep it near, Let the band swing low and sweet, Put your heart in 4 on the beat. What a lovely day to stay, Let the world roll on its way, If tomorrow comes in gray, Tonight is gold, what a lovely day. [Break] What a lovely day

  The song title comes from one of Nux’s lines in Mad Max: Fury Road, but this time I was thinking the theme doesn’t have to be “let’s make music from an image.” Using a line of dialogue could work too, like I did before. I’d really love to see more people making music on BP, and I was hoping this could be a spark for that. In that sense, it’s better if the focus isn’t on the artwork itself. The theme is: “Take the words and turn what you feel from them into music, in your own words.”

  We have a show-off-music-and-audio channel on Discord, so it’s perfect for sharing tracks there. It’s getting pretty late, so I’m heading to bed now. Tomorrow I’ll make a song just for you called “Cradle Cat.”

  Thanks! I’ll think about how we can do something like QT for music too.

  you said you made the music from the image? Are you describing the image into the prompt? Or describing the feeling of a song that you feel goes well with the image? Or can you use the picture itself as a prompt?

  So you want the image to inspire the song. Okay. Let me think on a bit. It's 5am so I have to go to sleep. Is there a room chat for BP music?
