This song stems back to a bright, still morning visiting Guam — my daughter, just three years old, is about to be exposed to the under life of the ocean she has never seen before in person. She stood at the edge of the water, sure it was going to be scary.
Then she put her face under — and the fear just left her. That gasp through the snorkel wasn’t fright; it was wonder.
The song itself was composed years ago and I took modern artificial singing capabilities to finalize a vocal filled tune.
This is the first release of music composed in hybrid form. Completely original from the mind of Jeremy, yet refined and performed with the help of artificial intelligence. In a world where an original piece of music created by you, but performed by AI, I am learning to embrace the changes and take musical creations to a unique new place.
Lyrics
Three years old with a mask too big And the ocean's holding still Salt on her shoulders, my hand in hers "What if it's scary, dad?" — "I'll be right here" Hold your breath, sweetheart, 1, 2, 3 Down we go beneath the sea Through the snorkel she gasps but it's not from fear She forgets to be scared, she forgets I'm here Down we go, down we go Down we go, down we go Parrotfish flashing like underwater flame Coral like a kingdom no one's ever named She points and she squeals through a mouthful of sea A whole world singing back at her and me Hold your breath, sweetheart, 1, 2, 3 Down we go beneath the sea Through the snorkel she gasps but it's not from fear She forgets to be scared, she forgets I'm here Down we go, down we go Down we go, down we go I thought I was bringing her down to see But she was the one bringing it back to me A little hand in mine, a face in the light And every color I'd stopped seeing came alive Hold your breath, sweetheart, 1, 2, 3 Down we go beneath the sea Through the snorkels we laugh and it's not from fear We forget to be scared, we forget where we are Down we go, down we go (just look at her go…) Down we go, down we go (just look at her go…)
