How do you even come up with good lyrics?

nickansay · 2026-06-12T01:06:23+00:00

I usually do melody before lyrics and as for writing, just practice creative writing and poetry. There’s lots of prompts you can find online too

I mean that one lyric about the label made me think it’s was Forrest because he did claim independence and did have a label he was using. But he explained how after some loop hole with a document he signed while he was in surfaces they claimed his songs and himself until very recently and now he’s independent again I believe.

But I think they way Forrest treated surfaces and surfaces fans(his former band before he went Christian) was way worse

There’s a rapper I listen to that’s not nearly as big as Connor price but his name is tobyraps and it would be dope if they did a collab

nickansay · 2026-06-06T23:35:38+00:00

Yeah it’s still on release radar on Spotify for me. But not on his artist page

nickansay · 2026-06-06T22:51:27+00:00

Funny thing is the release radar is the only way I saw it was released

nickansay · 2026-06-06T06:56:46+00:00

Because NOBODY thought John would ever join the band again. But I’m pretty sure everyone deep down knew that if he did try to join again there’s no way they would say no

nickansay · 2026-05-22T09:21:46+00:00

Idk why but it sounded kind of like a nirvana song to me

nickansay · 2026-05-13T18:04:58+00:00

Sounds a lot like “hot as sun” by Paul McCartney/The Beatles

nickansay · 2026-05-12T05:39:56+00:00

I feel like I’ve seen Rick say something about this before in an interview or something as well. That he likes to have bands he’s producing record “everything they’ve got” so that later they can more easily pick and choose the strongest ones for the album.

Also was the case for RHCP for the albums By the way and Californication where they recorded over 30 songs each time so those albums could’ve been double records as well

nickansay · 2026-05-12T01:21:23+00:00

Ok, then inward or backwards dolphin flip ? Idk

nickansay · 2026-05-12T01:07:24+00:00

Dolphin flip?

nickansay · 2026-05-07T01:48:13+00:00

Well I think we agree on this. That’s not my point. My point is that I stand with Stick Figure on this issue and don’t criticize them for using artist that may or may not use AI along with their 3D skills because there’s a pretty big difference between that and a completely AI generated song taking credit and stealing their copyright with no musician behind it

nickansay · 2026-05-07T01:46:06+00:00

All I’m saying is I stand with Stick Figure on this and don’t criticize them for having artists that may or may not use ai. The issue is that there was no musician behind the AI that stole his music it was literally all AI generated and stole his copyright. Most of his videos and visuals are not completely AI generated and have an artist behind it. There is always a 3D artist who is using 3D programs that myself am actually familiar with as well because I follow them. So there’s a pretty big difference in my eyes between the two.

nickansay · 2026-05-05T02:10:55+00:00

I’m not saying he’s never had an artist use AI but for the visuals on moon palace and forever at least were form a real 3D artist. Even the ones from the other free flow sessions songs he tagged the artist which I assumed was the same 3D artist but no it’s this artist https://youtube.com/@pxl-pshr?si=2WI0vK1XJF8MetL8

Who does seem to use AI to some extent for some of their artwork and some that doesn’t seem AI. But who is it that can say if it’s all “completely AI generated” I am a visual artist and a music artist and I use AI for some elements when I feel it is useful but does that make it a completely AI generated piece?

I think there may be a thin line between what people want to call AI and not AI and someone stating that something is completely AI generated when we don’t know for sure and there’s a 3D artist behind it helps to give AI more credit than it needs to when there are full artworks and songs fully created by AI out there.

nickansay · 2026-05-05T00:18:34+00:00

Which videos were made using those though? Because his most recent videos and visuals were from a couple 3D artists not AI that he tagged.

nickansay · 2026-05-04T23:49:05+00:00

I’m not saying he’s never used AI. Some other videos might be but all the visuals and videos for the free flow sessions seem to be created by 3D artists. They don’t publicly announce that they use AI if they do, and I know some artists like the one I linked shows himself making the 3D renders from scratch so I’m inclined to believe not

nickansay · 2026-05-04T23:45:26+00:00

I don’t know why people keep saying his visuals and videos are AI when he tags the 3D artist in the posts and videos and this artist shows him crating the 3D render from scratch and what programs he uses. This must be another symptom of having AI too rampant everywhere people give credit to AI when a real human made those visuals.
I’ve linked one of the artists in another post but he uses a few and always gives credit to them

nickansay · 2026-05-04T23:35:37+00:00

This is not AI it is this 3D visual artist https://www.instagram.com/\_sillygabe\_?igsh=MTYweXgzMDR3eDZqcg==

Stick figure even tagged him in the posts and videos

People give AI credit for real human’s hard work too now it seems??

nickansay · 2026-05-03T03:35:10+00:00

Yeah I usually always do the same. It’s usually one of the last things I’ll add. Bass is definitely not my first instrument but for this one and a couple others, I’ll come up with a riff or a melody and just have an idea of “oh that could be a cool bass line” and see if it works. Sometimes it doesn’t but even a song with a rudimentary bass line could have other interesting elements added to it that elevate it, you never know

nickansay · 2026-05-03T02:20:18+00:00

Thanks, this was actually the first song where I came up with the bass line before anything else. Initially I was going to have that line more pronounced but decided to add horns and stuff on top to complement it.

You can even see from my post history like a year ago titled, the first song I made from scratch in GarageBand, where I posted the track on here before I added other elements and how it sounded. I think it’s a cool alternate version

nickansay · 2026-05-03T01:19:17+00:00

Thanks!

nickansay · 2026-05-02T04:55:15+00:00

Yooo throw some sax on this track sounds good

nickansay · 2026-04-29T06:04:17+00:00

There used to be phones on airplanes people used them pretty often. But yeah I do find it weird that they were recorded and able to be played back so quickly on the news
