A Raven's Dream

So... I had the music for this done days ago, but thought it needed some words and lyrics --
except, I'm not really good with writing words/lyrics, and I can't sing...
... I figured I would try out AI and have it write me lyrics...
so I gave an AI prompt to a free online song lyric generator, added with 'in the style of' and provided "Siouxsie and the Banshees" --
it wrote me out an epic 6 verse set of lyrics that were definitely "in the style of" Siouxsie and the Banshees... but then.. I had to make it work vocally, and.. I can't sing.
Along comes the internet search for text to speech singing... and I stumble across Emvoice.
Huh...
I downloaded it, and then spent basically all day Saturday and Sunday fiddling around trying to make it 'sing' to this track... but it kept crashing, and I'd lose work, despite saving frequently - in the end, I couldn't even get the first verse to play through singing the lyrics right..
So... I ditched the whole lyrics and vocals idea and went back to the base instrumental track, played it for my spouse, and had her chime in...
and thus cane the title, "A Raven's Dream," based on her interpretation of the music without any words.
I was a learning experience.
