In case you don’t know, I’ve been obsessed with producing songs lately by exploiting the amazing AI service Udio. I’ve already made and released two full albums based on a strange story I wrote back in 2021, named Odes to My Triceratops. It follows the adventures and misadventures of a trio of friends who live in a town lost in the map. The main dude is a songwriter named William Griffin, who’s passionate and sensitive, if a bit unhinged. Another character is William’s next-door neighbor Claire Javernick, who’s a blind redhead. Then we have Lorenzo, who’s a sentient triceratops for no justifiable reason. You can download the first two albums of this story through this link.

Anyway, you’re bothering to read this for the new song, aren’t you? This one is called “The Undead King of Nowhere-Town,” currently the eleventh song in the third album. I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Lyrics below:

An emo love song for the undead king.
An indie punk anthem to the apocalypse.

How long has it been since you died,
And found yourself still alive?
How long has it been since you felt a heartbeat
That wasn’t your own?
It sure feels like a thousand lifetimes,
So why are you still around?

We were buried within the mountains
That surround this nowhere-town.
What horrors await beyond,
I wouldn’t even want to know.
We spent our whole lives here,
Hoping we would never find out.

Life’s about shit-eating creatures
Eaten by bigger, shittier creatures,
On and on and on forever.
That’s all there is to it.

An emo love song for the undead king!
An indie punk anthem to the apocalypse!

Your hideaway is abandoned,
All your friends gone.
It’s their ghosts now
Who will devour you.
