These lyrics were inspired by a comment from a singer and songwriter bemoaning the creation of AI slop in music. I understand his concern, but there is another side to this story: AI allows me to create music and strong performances for the lyrics I write (or uncover). As a writer, I love writing lyrics — and now I have a way of presenting them effectively to other people.

I know many of you subscribe to this newsletter for book writing and publishing and marketing news, but I feel you also need to see and hear the power of AI. I believe that AI-created-and-performed songs can be a great tool in marketing books as well.

But also the songs I’m sharing in this newsletter also have messages. Today, the message is simple:

Tell the truth, don’t lie, confessBut never bore, never bore, never bore

Telling the truth is crucial to creating great books AND selling great books. You should make truth-telling a strong habit. It will make an incredible difference in your life, in your work, and in your success.

It’s time to optimize that holy processOf writing, performing, and moreTell the truth, don’t lie, confessBut never bore, never bore, never bore
