Music and Poetry compositions

[Sullivan]

Hi,

I'm a music artist signed with a music label.

I describe my work with PROSAIC CINEMA as "Utopist Overdramatized Poetry", it's a fairly young project, it has 8 months.
I use poems I find on the internet as well as I write myself (mainly) choruses etc

Here is my last song Amor Armour Art Mort (I wrote the chorus only, and the music of course):




Thank you for taking the time.

Should have been posted in Movies, Music and Media. :oops:

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
N'oublie pas ceci : c'est que souvent l'amour meurt parce qu'on ne fait pas, pour le conserver, tout ce qu'on avait fait pour l'inspirer.
À notre mort, seules deux choses, resteront à jamais gravées dans les mémoires: la bonté que l'on a distribuée, et l'amour que l'on a reçu.
Celui qui reste chaste et meurt d'amour meurt martyr.

Notre existence brève est une étroite berge,
Et nous des naufragés sur ce rebord d'écueil ;
À chaque instant, un flot en prend un qu'il submerge :
Et nous nous déchirons dans la haine et l'orgueil !

[Chorus]
Et même si la nuit tombe sur nos regards
Des secrets des aubes scintilleront enfin
Même si je devrais mourir demain
Je disparaitrais, tôt ou tard

Si le jour tombe au moment où je pars
Des mémoires goût d'or des rires enfantins
Si je dois alors créer mon matin
Je n'oublierais pas que l'art nous sépare

[Verse 2]
L'amour-propre est l'opinion avantageuse que nous avons de nous-mêmes, l'estime que nous nous accordons, et nous le retrouvons toujours assis dans notre intérieur comme un fidèle ami qui ne nous quitte qu'à la mort.

Vanité des beaux yeux et vanité des lèvres,
Et vanité des mains où l’on s’est caressé !
Que restera-t-il donc des frissons et des fièvres
Quand l’agonie horrible et longue aura passé ?

La terre confondra dans une même fange
L’humble et celui qui fut de son âme orgueilleux,
Ils dormiront égaux et pareils sous les cieux.

[Chorus]
Et même si la nuit tombe sur nos regards
Des secrets des aubes scintilleront enfin
Même si je devrais mourir demain
Je disparaitrais, tôt ou tard

Si le jour tombe au moment où je pars
Des mémoires goût d'or des rires enfantins
Si je dois alors créer mon matin
Je n'oublierais pas que l'art nous sépare

Et même si la nuit tombe sur nos regards (x4)
Je n'oublierais pas que la mort nous sépare

[Sullivan]

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
Il ne reviendra jamais
Dit-il
Là haut, dans les sombres montagnes
Une aube scintillait
Fébrile
Des couleurs profanes
Stérile
D'un amour profanes

[Verse 1]
Great Star !
What would be thy happiness
If thou hadst not those for whom thou shinest !

Thy are weary of thy wisdom
Like the bee that hath gathered too much honey:
Thy need hands outstretched to take it. (x2)

[Chorus]
Il ne reviendra jamais
Dit-il
Là haut, dans les sombres montagnes
Une aube scintillait
Fébrile
Des couleurs profanes
Stérile
D'un amour profanes

[Verse 2]
Great Star !
What would be thy happiness
If thou hadst not those for whom thou shinest !

Therefore thy must descend into the deep
As thou goest behind the sea, and givest light also to the netherworld
Thou excuberant Star ! (x2)

Your are your Sun (tu es Soleil)

This is PROSAIC CINEMA:

PROSIAC CINEMA is a solo project from France ; his work is referred as "intellect" "utopist" "overdramatized" poetry by friends and critics. Ken has a long history with piano and classical music, but decided to compose as necessity. His work can be assimilated to "hammer müzik", in an electro pop/dark poetry/glam goth and experimental sometimes, songs. "Music for anyone and nobody". - Ken Sullivan

Your Sun Is Your Placebo - Zarathustra's Prologue is a song about artistry, art, artists and their Ivory Tower, their death and their twilight in an all modern and minimalistic vision ; using the Sun as the symbol of inspiration and productivity. The Sun, the God worshiped by the Mayan and our reason of life.

[Sullivan]

Both videos has translation caption in your language.

[Sullivan]

I made this, no lyrics, but I hope you can feel the poetry within.



A lil personal description:

A poetic, almost kietzsch downtempo, for Nietzsche wasn't joking about the suppression of feelings, an illusory and almost nostalgic music, not of the old days, but of his own old days.

Cinéma Nietzschéen is a collection I'm dedicating myself to, after having sent out bombastic and telluric pieces of primal energy. A more soft orchestral and cinematic music, closer to a piano composition.
PROSAIC CINEMA - Nietzsche Slowdown

[Sullivan]

This is a 2024 song I reworked from scratch, I kept all the original structure and lyrics, just a different orchestration and a slightly different but same text as original.

Lyrics:

"Trinity, let me sleep with you. For the fact is: the sanctity is in the aether. Let us bring time to our life, for the night is the darkness towards the Heavens."

PROSAIC CINEMA - Trinity Rock

[CRNDLSM]

This is a 2024 song I reworked from scratch, I kept all the original structure and lyrics, just a different orchestration and a slightly different but same text as original.

To be featured in my next album Cinéma Nietzschéen.

PROSAIC CINEMA - Trinity Rock

Will you post the lyrics?

[Sullivan]

It's in the YouTube video, as translation/subtitle caption. If you press the CC button on the video you'll get the lyrics, I put them like that on all my videos.

[Sullivan]

New neo-classical piece from an upcoming album.

Sullivan, 

We are a poetry site with one very specific purpose. We are here for poems, specifically, to workshop poems. We are not a social media platform. We are not a showcase or gallery. We are literally only here for one thing and one thing only and that is poetry in progress. 

We are absolutely not here for people to ask for money or to post links to promotional material. We do not require members to pay to join, and we do not allow advertisements on the site.

Please take a moment to read our site rules:
#2. "Don't post or links to spam, advertisements, malware, direct downloads or torrents."

Do not post links to content that is not free.

Do not ask members for money or post links to payment platforms.

And, while we are at it, please include the written lyrics for every audio poem/song you are posting so that our members can actually comment on the poetry aspect of your content.  If you are not looking for feedback on your lyrics, then you are very likely in the wrong place. 

Also, we are not a vanity site (as Billy used to say). If you want to post your poems here, then please catch up on offering feedback on other people's poetry.  If you aren't interested in other people's poetry, then you are definitely on the wrong site. 

Thank you for your future cooperation in this matter,
--Quix/admin.

[Sullivan]

I'm sorry, I've been busted by my musical work I forgot to respect the rules and why I was here. I'll add the lyrics to my next videos and edit the posts to add them where it is missing.

Note that all the lyrics can be found on my Bandcamp, although, yes, it's a site where I sell and can understand you removing it. So I'll make the effort you asked.

My apologize again.

Thanks

Hi,

Almost a year since my last visit here. I came back because I think I found I may have a lil vocation in writing lyrics (poems with music), really, and I want to invest and exploit it.

Actually it's AI gen music who pushed me to that, and I do really enjoy writting lyrics without having to sing them myself. Sometimes, like this one, after I release my work with my digital distributor, found I could ameliorate by using such or another word or expression.

As there are 7 tracks in this AI that I entirely wrote the lyrics mini-album, the post will be long, very long (I hope it's OK)
(note: can someone fix the pasting text in minimum size to regular 4?)

Lyrics under:


1.
have we reached?
have we reached it counter darwin
the evolution enders
sensing each others
like animals
just like animals
have you felt it?
Did you felt the transition
virtuality and reality
melting together
soaking the mind
but it's ok
life continues
in far away bastions
for the worthy
but it's ok
love continues
where far away bastions
for the worthy
but it's alright (but it's alright)
but it's alright (but it's alright)
it's just a question of control


2.
pure morning by my own
habits of grand home
in a golden pitchblack
now somehow wish I could go back
black shirt and cocktails
known by a few
never thought this obedience (this obedience)
would fade in my heart (in my heart)
pure morning by myself
they all gone from home
while I faced the sun
now somehow wish I could go back (go back)
black shirt and cocktails
loved by all
never thought this obedience (this obedience)
would fade in my heart (in my heart)


3.
je dis stop à l'automate
je dis non aux révolutionnaires
t'as journée à été gossip sur les réseaux
p'tain 1k4 sur un réel instagram random et improvisé
quel boulot, du coup, est-ce que j'ai besoin de cette société ?
je n'irai pas voir les plus que une orientations
ni les punks qui te convertissent de bourges en anti-français pour te la piquer
Alors comme ça ça n'attendais que ça
pédo, clochard, toxico, clown
fumes ton pétard de pigeon, de toute manières... tout est down
tu l'as voulu agresseur, voilà le résultat
(tu l'as voulu agresseur, voilà le résultat )
stop
je dis stop à l'amitié
je dis non à la fourberie violente
ainsi parlait mon cœur

(this 3rd one is really bad I realize more and more.)

3 EN.
Stop
I say stop to the automaton
I say no to the revolutionaries

Your day was all about gossip on social media
Damn, 1.4k on a random, impromptu Instagram reel
What a job, so, do I even need this society?

I won't go see the more than one orientations
or the punks who convert you from bourgeois to anti-French just to steal her from you

So, it was just waiting for this

Pedophile, bum, junkie, clown
Smoke your silly joint, anyway... everything's down

You wanted it aggressor, here's the result
(You wanted it aggressor, here's the result)

Stop
I say stop to friendship
I say no to violent deceit

Thus spoke my heart


4.
on croirait tout connaître sur la vie, même sur soi même sur l'autre et le "moi"
mais à quoi bon? le soleil nous attend
Attends, ne me lâche pas la main, s'il te plaît reste encore un peut, je ne veux pas te perdre comprends tu?
et tandis que les cloches sonnent, je pense à toi mon vieux
on croirait tout savoir
sur le mystère de la vie
mais ça n'existe pas
ou du moins dans le silence
attends, ne me lâche pas la main,
reste encore un petit peut, j'aimerais visiter le jardin avec toi
ne me lâche pas la main

4 EN.
We think we know everything about life, even about ourselves, about others, and about the "self."

But what for? the sun is waiting for us
Wait, don't let go of my hand, please stay a little longer, I don't want to lose you, do you understand?

And while the bells ring, I think of you, my old man.

We think we know everything
about the mystery of life
but it doesn't exist
or at least in the silence.

Wait, don't let go of my hand,
stay a little longer, I'd like to visit the garden with you.
Don't let go of my hand.

and even if the night falls on our eyes
some secrets and dawns will finally sparkle
even if i must die tomorrow i'll disappear sooner or later
if the day falls the moment I leave some memories with a taste of gold and youthful laughs
if I must then create my morning I won't forget that death separates us
and even if the night falls on our eyes
and even if the night falls on our eyes
and even if the night falls on our eyes
let's call it and end


7.
I remember you
as if you were no longer here
there behind the door
made of black and white
our hearts stained with blood
and cigarette poems
will hide their colors down here
until the death of "self"
and if you were no longer here
I might be dead
among the lies that goes by
I might no longer be here
I remember myself
like a summer evening
behind my dear toys
without faith and without laws
but our lost love
and our nicotine dreams
will return, will you
when famine comes
and if you were no longer here
I might be dead
among the lies that goes by
I might no longer be here




And here is the about and presentation to the mini-album:

A Bossa Nova mini-album crafted with AI and passionate fine literature that will keep you in a good company for your Cocktails sessions. After the Storm... is the Eternal Peace, then you get older, and just... disappear.

Info: "Bossa nova, which literally means “new wave,” was a blending of samba and jazz that rose out of a guitar school formed in Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana neighborhood in 1956." Copacabana being the most famous beach in the world.

"MCI cognition is a condition that lies at the intersection of normal cognitive decline and more serious disorders such as dementia. It manifests as cognitive deficits that do not significantly disrupt daily life, but which go beyond the normal changes associated with aging."

Ai art is infuriating

[Sullivan]

I know, but at least I can write lyrics.

I believe AI art in the music domain can be infuriating, but if you're a music "veteran", at least in classical genre, like myself (at the piano since 7 years old, intense autodidact piano practices since my 14s that led me to make a burn out at 19 years old, since then I take meds; already playing Liszt and Rachmaninov hardest pieces, being promoted by my 1st piano teacher to play a piano concerto at this age, right before she past away, music theory studies as teenager, my last piano teacher that put me directly in a minus 2 years far from diploma class when I showed her my Rachmaninov op 16 no 4) you can see AI gen is simply a tool, but people won't understand.

I don't wan't to create specifically, I want to interpret, as pianist, but the non possibility to have a keyboard right now forces me to either do AI gen, or compose in a weird style between Industrial music and Classical musicality, but without vocals (can't sing in a non sound insulated).

So in sum, I believe AI art can have merits (an Industrial Artist (Deutsch Nepal) released a full album of AI that many have enthusiasms on it, and he inspired me to do so. My 1st try was in December 2025, then my digital distributor instantly made me a OAC YT channel, but then they extremely critisized AI music, but at the same time promoted another artist for full high budget AI song, and video (Olya Polyakova - Warrior) so I don't mind what people think of it, it's a tool, of course I would rather find a band and sing, but it's out of my reach).

[CRNDLSM]

I like your lyrics and putting it to music

You CAN see it as simply a tool, although AI is and always will be more than a tool, I think everything negative about it outweighs the positive, but I'm sure you've heard and seen the arguments and consiously weigh your decisions.

I don't wan't to create specifically, I want to interpret, as pianist, but the non possibility to have a keyboard right now forces me to either do AI gen, or compose in a weird style between Industrial music and Classical musicality, but without vocals (can't sing in a non sound insulated).
With your history of music how can you think AI comes even close to the concerted efforts of the classical greats, they didn't just follow rules, they discovered new paths.  There is a program called Finale where you write sheet music and program instruments.  I understand the need to produce output, and limited resources, and have lost a tremendous amount of hope in the world as it is now, and often think I should just throw away all my own work because it seems obsolete in the tides of relevance.  So I'm sorry, while I want to support you, I don't want to listen, because of AI.

So in sum, I believe AI art can have merits (an Industrial Artist (Deutsch Nepal) released a full album of AI that many have enthusiasms on it, and he inspired me to do so. My 1st try was in December 2025, then my digital distributor instantly made me a OAC YT channel, but then they extremely critisized AI music, but at the same time promoted another artist for full high budget AI song, and video (Olya Polyakova - Warrior) so I don't mind what people think of it, it's a tool, of course I would rather find a band and sing, but it's out of my reach).
The envy gets me, and I'll probably die on this hill, keep writing, it is good

Thank you for reading.

you should post the prompts since those are what is actually your original thoughts and we can criticize/an/or see if we can improve on your prompting technique

[Sullivan]

"You CAN see it as simply a tool, although AI is and always will be more than a tool, I think everything negative about it outweighs the positive, but I'm sure you've heard and seen the arguments and consiously weigh your decisions."
I've been debating about it in a forum for 5 straight days when I got my OAC YT channel (surely) thanks to my 1st AI try.

"With your history of music how can you think AI comes even close to the concerted efforts of the classical greats, they didn't just follow rules, they discovered new paths.  There is a program called Finale where you write sheet music and program instruments.  I understand the need to produce output, and limited resources, and have lost a tremendous amount of hope in the world as it is now, and often think I should just throw away all my own work because it seems obsolete in the tides of relevance.  So I'm sorry, while I want to support you, I don't want to listen, because of AI."

As I grow up, it's harder and harder to get an appartement, in the 1st floor, to bring my youth's Rameau, but whatever, in a city it's just too "nuissance/noisy". I had chance to grew up in a rural home and study/work/practice at heart will and seriously classical education. Then after my burn out I took my first (not really but it's another long story) appartement 1st floor, so with my piano, played piano as hobby, but kept it in my heart as a serious discipline, combined with Nietzsche spectrum. Covid came and when it was finished I found myself a job proposition in a far city, lost my place in my conservatory of music as pianist (and it's the most in demand) started this job then it brought me back to hospital because my main meds were no more in production. Now since 2 years I'm in a lil town, like a commune where everybody knows each others, it's good, but no work, you need a car, it's a 1600 habitants town. This is where it gets complicated because I found a job, in my main city. The bus schedule will be a bit though but I believe in it, now looking for a 3rd appartement in this same city for easiness of transport to my job, and found one, need to call them tomorrow.

All that to say even if I re enroll to the conservatory of music in my main city, or not, I will have a decent job next month and a new appartement, I won't even be able even if I had a piano/electronic keyboard to work on it. Because, as official music artist, all the process is quite slow and takes time (promotion, marketing strategy, looking for an actual label, sending my songs on radios), my label offer classical music distribution service, so I'll see if I give time to get an electronic keyboard, if I'm enrolled in the Conservatory surely, but at the same time job will take all my days. I had Finale, but lost the CD, or the Key. I think I still got the box from it (yes, it's the 2012 version) I enjoyed it, but only next to an instrument, and not DAWs and gears.

By the way, I am trying a new path that nobody made (not just AI), "Jazz Industrial" it's started blindly ok, then I felt the more I proceeded the less views I had, maybe because of some details the algorithm didn't pushed it, like those tracks and the two EPs, the Haas effect (mastering stereo for pros) I misused it, the kicks and the rest are on the left panning, and this Instagram reel song had bad algorithm, I don't know why (I'm learning DAWs by myself since 5 years).



This track, but I deleted it this insta reel is all what is left of it:

(Those 2 exemples are not here for self promotion, it's just explanatory)

And thanks for all the appreciation you can give.

you should post the prompts since those are what is actually your original thoughts and we can criticize/an/or see if we can improve on your prompting technique

It's kinda secretive for me I feel, otherwise every AI Artist of any domain will be the same, more or less. Just a hint, as I said it's Bossa Nova, so it's been in the prompts, alongside other components of my knowledge, like "jazz" "dark" "male" or "female" vocals or "duo", etc etc. But I keep it simple.

ok, but this is a feedback site - how can I give feedback if you wont show what you wrote.  if you post the prompt, I promise I can show you where you messed it up.
