Holy crap, these lyrics are super good for an AI. Imagine this song from the perspective of "happiness" that people seek. "I (happiness) was a boy, I was a stranger" and so on. I think I have to do a cover of this.

[@the-chipette]

Yates I imagine it as a song of regret and realizing that you're not as great as you think. Wow.

[@lauraschlieselhuber8487]

So when's that cover coming ?

[@Cabbolf]

It boggles my mind that this has so few likes. This is better than 99% of the crap that plays on the radio.

Lyrics if anyone wants: I was a boy I was a stranger And I Promised to be so happy I was a Beautiful day I was a taller talk that I was born And I was Ready to go And the thruth was so long ago I was so happy and blue I was thinking of you I was a long long time I was so close to you I was a long time ago A long long time ago And I was Ready to go I was A home on the road.

this gives me some serious goosebumps! it's mindblowing how a smartphone algorithm and talented human beings can work together to make something so beautiful (the whole project, but this song especially!) - i love living in the 21st century and thus being able to witness wonders such as this :) thank you very much for uploading!

i've been looking for this!! thank you

[@ncuxap12444]

the melody and the singer make this a good song. the lyrics are complete nonesense. thank god for humans lol

[@TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

The lyrics are actually far better than most that I've encountered. Since you brought it up first, what precisely do you find nonsensical about it? Outside of a couple lines, this is a straightforward tale of of nostalgia, lost happiness and innocence.

i legit very much love this song and sunsprings is 100% my favourite short film of all time and it just occurred to me to ask: do you happen to have chords/lyrics somewhere for this song? i'd love to add it to my repertoire. love reppin small artists, especially when some of them are AI

[@astrophrenia]

oh also sidenote: is there any possibility of getting benjamin (and potentially the team associated) to come up with a new song like this? i'd love a short concept album of entirely ai written pop songs, and with talent to back them up like you've got on this one here, i'm sure they'd be lovely, no matter how bewilderingly beautiful the lyrics turned out.

Hey, try to contact the band via their official website www.tigerandman.com/. I don't have any contact on them really. Cheers, Martin
