This video is something that had to be said. I’ve been feeling this way for quite a while, and as I keep getting bombarded by global events my conviction to this sentiment only grows.

I set this up in a 4:3 aspect ratio which is more natural than the 7:5 I’ve used for recent productions. I also used a lot more still footage compared to video footage, and I feel that worked really well for this production.
Do you believe life exists on another planet out there?
My motivation for this video/song was to do something a little different. Lyrics by yours truly. Music created by #Suno and visuals created primarily by #midjourney both under my guidance and direction. Music video assembled using #Adobe products (#premierepro, #photoshop, #audition). #alienlife
This song reveals that my life has been filled with some bad things and many blessings. I’ve had a lot of people involved in lifting me up throughout my time, and I am very thankful to all of them for what they’ve done. I am not afraid of missing out on what comes next, rather I will enjoy what it is. I know I can’t last forever, so whenever the time comes, I am ready to go.
[Verse]
In early times,
Life was good,
Food was fine,
As was the hood.
Bad things came,
I lost my way.
Was a winding road,
Finding today.
[Chorus]
I’m fine, I’m fine,
I’m doing OK,
Happy to live
For another day.
Done my chores,
Want you to know,
When the time comes,
I’m ready to go.
[Verse]
Feeling bad,
I’ve done some wrong,
Owning my part,
The world goes on.
Counting blessings
Every day.
Thanking those
For parts they played.
[Chorus]
I’m fine, I’m fine,
I’m doing OK,
Happy to live
For another day
Done my chores,
You should know,
When the time comes,
I’m ready to go.
I kept seeing incredible work by others who are using AI for music videos. I thought I would give it a spin. While I see a lot of things I would improve upon, I think this first one came out pretty good.
