In ou rfinal episode, we talked about redefining finishing. Our guest student, Michael, made an AI song all about how he couldn't finish, and it's hilarious. These are the lyrics and the song is at the end of our episode. A good use of AI? I think so!
[Verse 1]
I had a vision burning loud,
A wild story screaming in the crowd.
Elaine May, my muse, my flame,
But it spiraled out, it twisted and it maimed.
Eight pages of magic, had my mind set,
But I couldn't unpack what I had in my head.
Yeah, I’m obsessed, call it what you will,
But when I hit that wall, it shook me still.
[Chorus]
Why, oh why, didn’t I finish that comic?
Elaine May twisted in my psyche,
Some other guy took her name, now it’s tragic,
He got it wrong, got the facts out of whack,
But he finished his comic, and that’s a fact!
I’m stuck in this vortex, can’t break free,
Still I’ll give you a Ted Talk, endlessly.
[Verse 2]
Crushing disappointment, it left me numb,
Like a train off track, nowhere left to run.
Trying to capture her face, every line,
But each stroke I made just fell out of time.
Obsessed with her laugh, her eyes and flair,
But I choked on the vision, gasped for air.
Wasting hours, drawing, erasing it all,
Like a damn punk rock echo against the wall.
[Chorus]
Why, oh why, didn’t I finish that comic?
Elaine May twisted in my psyche,
Some other guy took her name, now it’s tragic,
He got it wrong, got the facts out of whack,
But he finished his comic, and that’s a fact!
I’m stuck in this vortex, can’t break free,
Still I’ll give you a Ted Talk, endlessly.
[Break]
(Spit it out, crash it down)
I’m caught up in this game,
Can’t figure out the frame,
A story lost in chaos,
Elaine's laugh sounds like a rush, a toss!
[Verse 3]
So many nights spent in a mess,
Drafting and redrafting, just feeling less.
A pounding fist, a raging heart,
Why couldn’t I finish where the madness starts?
This obsession got me high, this obsession got me low,

I’m a punk trapped in the purity of her glow.
Three hours talking, spinning wild,
Sick of this defeat, time to reclaim my style.

[Outro]
So here I stand, defiant and raw,
This unfinished business, my messy draw.
But I’ll scream it loud, let it unleash,
Elaine May, my obsession, my inner beast!
Never finished that comic, but I won't say die,
This is my anthem, my battle cry!
