More AI generated music from old lyrics (16 years old!).
Took a while (probably about 30 song attempts before settling on the music for this).
I normally wouldn’t write lyrics or poetry with a sexual underlying theme. Originally, this was envisioned as maybe a blues rock song (a bandmate challenged me to write “meaningful” lyrics based on the word ORANGE). Not sure I succeeded.
From my original email, dated Mon, May, 19, 2008 :
I know I wasn’t dating anyone at this time … if anything, this could have some outside influence from the bluesy song by Led Zeppelin, The Lemon Song ( being that both are citrus and I originally wrote this as a blues concept ). The Lemon Song was built on top of the Howlin’ Wolf blues tune, Killing Floor.
But, with the R&B style that I settled on, this feels a lot like baby-making music.

ORANGE - I blossomed you picked me and you peeled me my fruit revealed rough edges you removed them spit out my seeds you ripen me bittersweet my soul, my soul, my soul you, yes, you you sun kissed it no way, baby no way to resist it ain't no way My fruit revealed nothing concealed not a thing, no not a thing concealed taste so sweet my soul, my soul, my soul you, you, you you sun kissed it no way, baby no way to resist it ain't no way ain't no way fresh squeeze me baby please me I'm juiced up so don't tease me You blossomed I picked you and I peeled you I revealed I revealed you no way to resist it no way to resist it no way to resist it - JB, 18MAY2K08
Pretty cool poem and lyrics John… It's amazing how different reading and listening change the entire mood of words. The wonder of poetry and lyrics.
Great. I’ll never look at an orange the same but definitely have a new appreciation for the orgasmic orange. 🍊
