Hi. My name is Douglas Murphy and I hale from Montreal Quebec Canada.
I have been playing around this 'craft' for a while now and have always enjoyed getting my 'stuff' out there.
Lately I have been playing around with AI generated vocals and melodies. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.

First came the sentence, "Dirt roads and simple things." then the music from BIAB followed by the lyric and this demo.
Lyrics
Simple Things
[2021/06/18]
[V]
Grasshoppers hoppin',
songbirds never stoppin',
"Touch-Me-Nots" a-poppin',
summer days.
Shady oaks and maples,
rainy days in April,
sittin' 'round the kitchen
playing games.
[B]
These are the simple things.
These are the simple things.
[V]
Walkin' 'long a little brook,
sittin' quiet with a book,
exploring every nook,
catchin' toads.
Fireflies on humid nights,
sparklin' colored Christmas lights,
watchin' birds, flyin' kites,
dirt roads.
[B]
These are the simple things.
These are the simple things.
[C]
Enjoying a cool summer breeze,
jumpin' in a pile of leaves,
listenin' to you talk, turning grey.
Moonlit nights, starry skies,
having you by my side the
simple things that make up my day.
[V]
Memories of meeting you
pop up when I'm feelin' blue,
there's nothin' else to do to pick me up.
Homemade cookies, a cup of tea
snowy days, once climbin' trees
days when I feel like a pup.
[B]
These are the simple things.
These are the simple things.
[C]
Enjoying a cool summer breeze,
jumpin' in a pile of leaves,
listenin' to you talk, turning grey.
Moonlit nights, starry skies
having you by my side the
simple things that make up my day.
Break:
[V]
Sleepin' in, a shot of gin,
the music of a violin
can lift my spirit in many ways.
Snugglin' you, a forest view,
bare toes and mornin' dew are
simple things that make up my day.
[C]
Enjoying a cool summer breeze,
jumpin' in a pile of leaves,
listenin' to you talk, turning grey.
Moonlit nights, starry skies.
having you by my side the
simple things that make up my day.
Break
