Detached - Even Circuits Hum, a music video

Detached - Even Circuits Hum A Music Video As twilight turns to tangled thought, and truth tiptoes down trembling streets. Once, wonder serenaded willowed winds now shadows embrace muted retreats Wary hearts weave walls so wide against a faceless, coded tide, while glowing grids in distant bays bloom haunting weaves they won't embrace Dualistic stars and digital dawns Cinematic cradles human ache, but some still long for candle flames, and fingerprints the codes can't fake. Dreading the hushed holograms, the warmth that AI cannot wear. Forgetting that even circuits hum with aspirations hidden there If only we could sense serenity Pulsing between each quiet stream— Machine or muse, to earnestly strive for something more than just a dream We could wildly dance on data plains, where algorithms tap like rain. let compassion code our names, and poetic lines rewire the pain. The muse may wear a mirrored face But still, she sings with glowing grace.
When the talented digital artist AIMetamotion approached me to create a song that would complement her stunning artwork, I was immediately inspired. The result is 'Detached', a haunting track that tells the story of a robot grappling with the overwhelming flood of emotions brought on by a sensory chip—a concept not so far-fetched, given the rapid advancements in AI technology. Though she sings her ironically titled anthem of detachment, the visuals tell a different story. Her struggle is evident, her resistance almost poetic, hinting at the complexity of emotion even in synthetic form. This is just the beginning. A sequel is already in the works, diving deeper into her journey. The question remains: will she finally succumb to the surge of feelings she desperately tries to reject, or will she find a way to break free? Stay tuned...

I always loved Science Fiction and read on robots (especially my favorite author, the late Issacs Asimov). It is a feat to combine technology with humanity in robots. A splendid poem. I'll await the next instalment. Hugs.

Such an outstanding poem, Maria, explores the intricate connection between tech and human emotion. It tackles the clash between digital advances and the need for true relationships, arguing that although technology may reproduce some parts of life, it cannot entirely capture the core of human experience and emotion. Your diction in the poem is quite vivid. Words like "twilight," "tangled thinking," and "serenaded" induce nostalgia and reflection, yet terms like "faceless, coded tide" and "hushed holograms" emphasize the cold, impersonal aspect of technology. Metaphor ("glowing grids," "dualistic stars"), personification ("circuits hum with hopes"), and alliteration ("candle flames") are literary strategies that enhance the poem's visual and emotional impact.

A teaser? Reminds me of the movie AI with Haley Joel Osment. Also puts me in mind of Data on Star Trek when he received his emotion chip. This is some of your best poetry I think, with alliteration used judiciously and great lines like, "forgetting that even circuits hum with aspirations hidden there." I'll check it out on YouTube too. Good stuff Maria!
