My Chemical Romance - Sister To Sleep (AI Gerard VOX)

Hello everyone. My original cover of this infamously unreleased MCR song seems to be the most popular version of the song and I don't like that cover so I wanted to make a brand new one. My original goal in making that cover was to create an authentic sounding studio version of the song, but my limited chops at the time hindered the results. Now, with my improved production skills and the power of artificial intelligence, I've created something a bit closer to what the actual song would sound like. I've worked on this for months, and it's certainly not perfect, but it's an improvement and is probably the best sounding version you'll find.

[@CarnageYT863]

It’s crazy how much this sounds like a studio version

[@eggsamillion]

Damn that singing is convincing. AI is scary.

[@blizzary9369]

It onlly sounds this good because he acrually sung it, in this case AI was used as a tool to make it sound like gerard. More like a voice changer. I think song restoration id an ethical place for AI

[@marygarcias6903]

🕯️Hoping this comes out next year for a 20th anniversary release of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge🕯️

[@Nameless-rg7os]

yes plz

[@donnerthereindeer366]

With the original vocals of course

[@rukaii]

it didnt

[@marygarcias6903]

@@rukaii yeah such a shame 😢

[@Patisaloser]

Ignore everyone complaining this is honestly amazing and might be the closest we'll ever get to a full version

[@hugobourgon198]

AI don't have the drive Gerard has though.

[@firewalkwithjuno5421]

I respect what you're doing, unreleased tracks can sometimes be the biggest bangers and it's unfortunate that sometimes you wish you could hear the real thing, this is really fucking rad!

[@MCDreng]

Maybe it's because I'm used to early live Gerard's screamier performing style but this sounds too clean singing wise. Is that because AI doesn't play nice with screaming or is it just how you think he would have sung it in the studio? I especially thing "one way to execution" needs to be more distorted, like how Gerard does it in Matt's partial studio demo.

[@secondsensory]

I hear what you mean it’s too clean cut some lines could have been accentuated more in the original mcr style

[@agkawaii9267]

The screaming would probably make the ai voice break a little bit and it would make it sound less real i think. From ai stuff ive heard before

[@drpibisback7680]

​@@agkawaii9267 The problem with AI is that it's basically only able to produce a statistical average of whatever sample it's been fed. You can't train an AI to replicate someone's singing and screaming, because they're two different vocals. Maybe you could do it by training one model on clean singing and the other on screams and then selectively process different parts based on what you want, but it would never be quite right.

[@Shonji_Ikori]

This is pretty fucking amazing. It sounds almost exactly like MCR in the studio. Could you release another version with your vocals to compare to?

This is it kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHO6dHWDm5xql80

[@jayoctopus8832]

there is!

[@jayoctopus8832]

it was posted to this channel five years ago

[@lankyGigantic]

Btw, I'm not a bot, that is literally the version Billy did with his own voice

[@avokka]

​@lankyGigantic i think theres ai, but Billys vocal chops get very close to Geralds

[@mafu9174]

id like to hear another version with your actual voice!

yeah id love to hear the version before the AI vox

Trying to decipher the lyrics, if I've gotten anything wrong, or you can figure out the parts I've missed, please let me know! Crash into this institution One way to execution I'm putting off this medication It always makes me tired 'Cause I can't ever sleep at night the same This medication when it works takes almost every day (???) this hell I put it off, I put it off As I close my eyes I see land What did I say? Well did I say too much? Sister to Sleep We'll lie awake at night And I'm never going to bed I walk into Back into this room Into another anthem We're falling again 'Cause I can't shake this feeling, well It's hard to pretend (???) For one last night I'll kiss your lips again What did I say? Well did I say too much? Sister to Sleep We'll lie awake at night And I'm never going to bed I wanna feel those Stained glass windows I'm sleep-walking Right into this hell For the first night For the first time I won't die For the first night For the first time I won't die Don't let me sleep tonight Get in your way tonight Don't let me sleep tonight Get in your way What did I say? Well did I say too much? Sister to Sleep We'll lie awake at night And I'm never going to bed I wanna feel those Stained glass windows I'm sleep-walking Right into this Rotten hell

[@elistammers3490]

You're a bro for this

[@originalname8325]

im pretty sure the seventh line is "quail, quail, quail this hell"

[@poisxnashley]

@@originalname8325 Huh, could be! Never seen that word used in that context but looking it up and it'd make some sense.

[@shinzer56]

I'd love to hear more of these MCR demos made into something perfected. Fantastic work.

[@robertm5187]

need this for someone out there loves you 😭

[@LemonSte]

I don't understand whether you sang it in his style or if you sang it and then used AI to make it sound more like him, either way I can hear Gerard's twang in this and it heals my soul Edit: got it, his voice then AI. I love it so much! I have a lot of misgivings about AI but since Gerard will probably never properly record this track without changing a ton it's nice to hear it clean like this

[@LingusDaDingus]

He sang it in gerards style and then used AI to polish it.

[@Johnmrobinson-vb5vd]

​@@LingusDaDingusI think that makes it sound better than just having ai read the lyrics

[@OldMovies2000]

yOU THOUGHT THIS WAS AN AI speech? nah his voice his high enough to capture gerards range and used AI for an effect. If you could get this into a pedal GG. RasberyyPi Pedal AI Gerard Way cover band lol. @@LingusDaDingus

[@MCDreng]

Billy can already practically do a Gerard impression. The AI just makes it sound that 1 percent more like him.

[@prollydatboi8841]

A studio version exists already from bullets/revenge-ish era, it just has never been released. Matt released clips of it a while ago.

[@geeruturtle1859]

Dude, been following you since forever! Found you when you've been making studio versions of Gerard's unreleased songs. You're literally doing great service to the fandom, man. This is the closest we can get from studio version of Sister to Sleep (like there's literally no proper recording of until they sang it live last year). Now we can hope they make the actual studio version, but hey it happened to Dasher so it's not far off lol. Keep up the good work!!

[@allenstewart8535]

This is amazing !! Possibly the closest we'll get to a real studio version

[@carolinedenyer4272]

Can’t even complain about this song

[@MusicJunkie37]

This man can sound like Rivers Cuomo, Billie Armstrong and Gerard Way Unreal talent

[@TakenUsernameAuradium]

He didn't sing this

[@Weezsawman9]

@@TakenUsernameAuradium he did then put ai on top of his voice so it makes it sound like gerard but hes still singing just changed the voice to sound more like gerard

[@TakenUsernameAuradium]

@@Weezsawman9 it's not a filter. It takes the syllables, and uses the data from the ai and transforms the data into the syllables billy used

[@vampirkenny]

THIS IS AMAZINGG!! i do wish he was more screamy though but I know thats hard with ai 😭

[@emoof22]

THANK YOU FOR THIS

I'd love to hear the non-AI version of this with your voice. Don't get me wrong, this is neat, but I'm a bigger fan of you than MCR lol.

[@anathemasoul8393]

I have unironically found myself listening to Billy's music more than weezer's too if we're saying we like him better than bands lol

He released the non AI version like 5 years ago

[@layne05]

This kicks so much ass Honestly, you're so good at sounding like other people for your covers that I can barely tell an AI was used

[@XxjesusxX09]

This plus some screaming backing vocals would be perfect still this sounds so good

[@littlegoblin6923]

This is so cool!! Thanks for making it :)

[@justa_stranger_]

This is a vibe. Thanks bro

[@jeremy2189]

I think what would help this is if u raised the volume of the guitars and drums a little.

[@TeeTaa-A]

This could've been so good, i don't get why they didn't release it

[@rowboatmiami]

i love senses fail

[@M0urfeen]

Could you do jack the ripper by mcr?

[@Yani_lol]

Even tho the lyrics might not be accurate to other sources this is still imo the best “studio version”/AI cover of sister to sleep on KZbin

[@poisxnashley]

What lyrics are you using for this?

[@datsikkid_]

Does anyone have the lyrics to this ai version cause all the lyricsbi find are different from this version..trying type some out myself but some of the pronunciation is hard to catch ..we all know gerards interesting use of vocals (even if it's ai) lol

[@sprout12730]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!

[@Adumb_]

have I entered an alternate reality?

[@__HeIena.]

Just out of curiosity, where did you find the lyrics? They don't match any websites or lyrics I can find.

[@gambalombo]

I'd assume he got it from listening to or looking at the comments of the video with the most recent live performance of Sister to sleep

[@gambalombo]

Which has much better audio than the only other recording

[@deltybroboi]

I would have put some of the other notes at different pitches as it sounds on the live version but it sounds a lot like Gerard way! Great job!

This is actually amazing im confused as to why people are against this, wasnt everyone crying for this to surface for the past 20 years? 😂 this is as close as we will get until the song is either cleared by their label or leaked by otter.
