About The Tool

"The Tool" delves into the excitement and newfound freedom I felt upon discovering AI as a medium for musical expression. Before this, my ideas were trapped, confined to scribbles in notebooks and fleeting thoughts. The moment I engaged with this "box of magic wires and keys," it was like unlocking a treasure trove of possibilities. The song encapsulates that electrifying experience of turning on the equipment and feeling the world light up with sound.

I wanted to convey the sense of empowerment that came with this discovery. The chorus—"I've got the tools now, and I won't stop"—is a declaration of intent. Despite not being traditionally trained, I now have the means to create and share my music. The song also touches on defying critics and overcoming self-doubt. It's a celebration of breaking free from limitations and embracing the tools that allow me to fulfill a long-held dream.

Lyrics

(Verse)
Woken up with a tune in my mind
Searching for a rhythm I can't find
In my room with notebooks all around
Heartbeats and melodies profound

(Verse)
Found a box of magic wires and keys
Turned it on and it brought me to my knees
Plugged it in and the world lit up in sound
Finally the music's breaking out

(Chorus)
I've got the tools now
And I won't stop
Sound of a dream
Bout to be dropped
I've got the tools now
And I won't quit
Sound of a dream
Can you hear it

(Bridge)
Years of silence but the vision is clear
No more dreaming now the tune's right here
All the pieces fitting into place
Feel the music taking over space

(Verse)
Every note every beat in line
Finally can share what’s been inside
A symphony bursting out so loud
Finally can stand up make them proud
Every note every beat in line
Finally can share what’s been inside
A symphony bursting out so loud
Finally can stand up make them proud

(Outro)
I won't let the haters change my mind. 
I'm making the music in my soul. 
I may not have talent to play an instrument. 
But I'm not letting anyone hold be back this time.
I won't let the haters change my mind. 
I'm making the music in my soul. 
I may not have talent to play an instrument. 
But I'm not letting anyone hold be back this time.
