Older man blowing a horn in a lit alley at night as a couple dances

About this image

A vibrant night alley scene featuring a street musician blowing into a horn, creating wispy music trails toward a dancing couple in retro attire. Neon lights, a glowing jukebox, scattered vinyl records, and a stray dog add a cinematic, film-noir vibe to the urban nightlife setting.

  First time I ever tried to use these lyrics, I used them straight; no add on, and of course NC blocked them. LOL. Now I run the lyrics through a prompt generator and get better images that still incorporate so much of the song it's not funny

  Very cool! I love that you can see the music floating out of the horn? clarinet? Not quite sure. It's a sad song and I see the moonlight dancing.

  @paulie It's very cool that you were able to run the lyrics straight. I wonder why NC blocked them. Maybe it's the drug references: dealer, needle, tracks, cramps. But the references are all sideways so I'm not sure the AI would be clever enough to read drug addiction into the song. Curious. I love the image that the lyrics made tho. I did that once with the Roxette song for one of your challenges. The image created even had random lyrics here and there on the image which I loved. But that does tell me that NC doesn't block due to lyrics copyright -- or at least it didn't a few months ago. Using lyrics for prompts is very hit and miss tho and I found several of the models were no good at it when I tried it.

  A great song that hardly anybody knows of. I run the prompt every few months, to capture my improved skill and the better models. This is the first time I've actually run the lyrics through a prompt enhancer rather than just using them as is. Will no doubt try it again in a few months LOL
