The “brand new day”. Honeymoon will last for a while, but will it withstand the vagaries of real life?
[12/31/2024: It’s interesting to reflect after 25 years. I was skeptical of the “brand new day” zeitgeist even then, although the next few years were indeed an internet zeitgeist. Many feel we are entering a new dark age, or are already in it].

Video for Poette (AI version). Wanted to get a reversed version as a "countdown" but it never gets the rhythm and phrasing correct. AI music can sometimes be like a slot machine. Since the re-writing process is quick, you keep doing it to get what you want, walking away disappointed or settling for something you don't really like. Manual creativity is like this too.
