In case you don’t know, I recently released an album (of actual songs) named Odes to My Triceratops, Vol. 1, based on the nowhere-town adventures of amateur songwriter William Griffin, his blind love interest Claire Javernick, and his best friend the sentient triceratops Lorenzo (no last name), back when they were 12-14 years old. You can download that album here.

I’m slowly “remastering” the songs belonging to the second album in order to release it, but I came up with another song for the third volume. It’s titled “The Girl From This Town.” An Appalachian folk song about nostalgia creeping into the grieving William.

Lyrics below:

Lorenzo was the dino from out of town
That everybody knew.
Lorenzo was the dino from out of town,
And he was gonna stay a while.

Claire and him, well, they made a deal
To see what they were made of.
They ate, they drank, and they screwed
In good times and in bad.

When Lorenzo was a child,
He dreamed of finding a girl as stupid as him,
And having three kids together.
Lorenzo didn’t even have a last name.
He would have taken Claire’s.

I’m not talking.
I’m not being a person.
I’m barely breathing.

I wanna wake up at the ass of dawn
Next to the girl of my dreams,
To the sound of chirping birds,
To the sight of a blinding sun.

Claire was the girl from this town,
The girl from this town,
The girl from this town.
She was supposed to stay.

I’m slowly “remastering” the songs belonging to the second album in order to release it, but I came up with another song for the third volume. It’s titled “Meat Man.” The considerably more reflective sequel to the first volume’s “I’m Cactus.”

Lyrics below:

My cactus died weeks ago,
But I’m trying hard
To wake it up with words,
Wake it up with songs,
Wake it up with violence,
Wake it up with raw meat.

There’s no waking a dead cactus.

The silence is almost ominous.
I should get myself a pet bird.
I’ll sing it the words I couldn’t speak,
And all the songs I never wrote.

Look at me, birdie,
And tell me what you see.
Am I a human being,
Or a pile of shit?

I’m slowly “remastering” the songs belonging to the second album in order to release it, but I came up with this new song, titled “Sadtown Train.” An ode to my oldest friend.

Lyrics below:

Sadtown Train’s coming down the track.
(All aboard! All aboard!)

Have you ever ridden the Sadtown Train?
Oh, you haven’t? Lucky bastard!
One day you’ll board that train,
But for now, consider yourself blessed.

The seats are wooden, the windows dirty,
The lamps dim and flickering.
A magic train so wide and so long,
It seems to take up the whole world.

You can hear its massive engine
Growling in the dark and cold,
Pumping all its power to drag along
The endless cargo of souls.

If you want to find me,
I’m on the Sadtown Train,
Just watching the countryside go by,
Not knowing where it ends.

I’m slowly “remastering” the songs belonging to the second album in order to release it, but I came up with this new song, titled “A Blind Girl’s Curse.” It’s the current opener for the third (and last) volume of Odes to My Triceratops. I quite like it.

Lyrics below:

I met Lorenzo a long, long time ago.
Now he must be engulfed in flames.

Last week, Claire faced me again.
She’s blind, but she could see.
The way she stared at me,
I was sent straight to hell.

Claire’s home is empty.
She took my warmth with her.

She’s a seventeen-year-old slut
With no clue how to read or write.
One day, she claims to love you.
The next, she goes and kills you.

I like boys, I like boys,
I like boys, I like boys,
I like boys, I like boys,
I like boys, I like boys,
I like boys, I like boys,
I like boys, I like boys,
I like boys, I like boys,
I like boys, I like boys!

I’m strengthening methodically the first volume for the rerelease (one of a few) by removing some songs, redoing one, and writing entirely new songs. The following song, one of the last in the album, renders the way William takes rejection.

I’m burning through Udio‘s monthly output, so I may only have two or three songs more to create before I find myself helpless.

The following song, that will be included in the next release of the first album, delves into young William’s private struggles.

These last few days, I’ve been relistening to my AI-generated songs almost exclusively, in the album’s order (both the first and the unreleased second one). In the first album, I noticed myself skipping certain songs. No reason to include in an album songs that I’d want to skip over, so I’m considering redoing some songs and moving others to a B-sides album thingy. In addition, I’ve written a couple of new songs for the first album, that I will include in a future re-release (one of a few, I’m guessing).

Anyway, here’s the sole song I’ve managed to produce today, titled “Tricera Girl.” It renders William’s infatuation with his next-door neighbor shortly after meeting her. I think it came out very well.

I hope you are enjoying my forays into Udio‘s AI services so it will generate songs according to my absurd specifications. You better have been enjoying them, because I’m about to clobber you with five new songs, a few of them excellent.

They are based on the song lyrics included in my bizarre free-verse narrative titled “Odes to My Triceratops.”

First one is a grunge track called “Lorenzo.” Possibly my favorite of the bunch.

Next up, a soothing traditional folk song titled “Lemonade and Willies.”

Now check out this lovely lullaby titled “My Friendo Lorenzo”.

Listen to this uplifting song about three friends having fun, titled “Claire With a C”:

Finally, an energetic garage rock song titled “Fairy Tale Too Real to Be.”
