Stephen M. Miller is all ears for the new music.
WE’RE EXPERIMENTING with adding new Artificial Intelligence music posted directly into The Casual English Bible.
Go to Psalm 23 and you’ll find a new, original song inspired by that ancient song. We’re just beginning to put our psalm lyrics to music.
I wrote the lyrics of each song and often the melody. For the lyrics, I drew as much as possible from the lyrics I had already written for the Book of Psalms. I added some simple melodies. Then I had to feed AI with instructions about how I wanted them to produce the music—style, tone, instruments, vocalists.
I’m not a musician, I’m a writer with music in my soul, fighting to get out.
All I needed was some heartless, soulless software to produce something heart-warming and soul-inspiring.
This is a scary thing for many musicians. Music producers I’ve talked to are either still scratching their heads or burying them in sand.
They’ve got to figure out how to use it.
If they can’t, we won’t excuse it.
Some musicians say, “Shame on you.”
They don’t like AI. It’s cheating.
How’s it cheating if I raise my hand in class and say, “Mrs. Hershberger, I’m going to copy off Tommy’s paper now. He’s smarter than me”?
I’m not a musician, but with AI…well, take a listen and see what you think.
PLAYLIST: Top songs of The Casual English Bible
But you can listen to them here. I’ll give you the psalm number, song title with link, and one background fact.
Psalm 8, Keepers of the World. Not a song for polluters. They should go to the song “Trouble.”
Psalm 9, Forever Near. Reggae thanks to God for defending us. Dance as we pray.
Psalm 13, I Know You’re Angry. Imagining what God would say to me, as I was angry with him.
Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd. Moving, but you’ve never heard it this way before.
Psalm 40, New Song. Think joy in the 1950s for today.
Psalm 42, Prayer in the Dark. Song of the stressed, depressed, and in need of rest.
Psalm 46, Lord, Have We Lost? Many non-name-calling good people today feel this way.
Psalm 51, Wash Me White as Snow. Steve’s favorite. His wife’s favorite, too.
Psalm 88, God, Are You Too Busy to Help? This rare psalm has nothing good to say about God.
Psalm 91, Sanctuary City of God. Kind to folks at risk, under God’s wings. Think immigrants.
Psalm 100, Crank it Up for the Lord. This song rocks and rolls.
Psalm 104, Lord, I Saw You There. I finished this song this morning.
Psalm 130, Trouble. Get ready for the blues. From the first squirrely note.
Psalm 139, Wings of the Dawn. Theme: We can’t hide from God, and that’s good. He’s always here.
Psalm 139, Wings of the Dawn (Country). Not yet posted on the site. But it will be.
