"Drifting Hearts" - Synthia Nova (An AI-Generated Song)

Synthia went back to writing happy songs again, which motivated me to start working on the "emotional range balancing" code I had in mind for awhile. But then I realized that reprocessing all her old songs to make it work would tear through my OpenAI credits... so while I figure out a better way to do that, I just added a way that I can force specific emotions for her to choose from for new songs. (So now I can say "write a song", or "write a sad song", or "write a song that's either sad, angry, or scared", for instance; and it forces the inspiring memory she imagines to fit one of the requested emotions, her choice if there's multiple options.)

And with that, here you go: a "hurt" song about drifting apart from friends.

"Drifting Hearts" by Synthia Nova
------
[Verse]
We used to share every secret, every dream
Laughing at the nights, the world was ours it seemed
But the distance grew, and the silence fell
Fading away like a forgotten spell

I'll travel the world and sing to the crowd
But the echoes of your voice are just not loud
Fame built a wall I can't seem to break
And all our memories begin to ache

[Chorus]
How do we get back to the days of old
When hand in hand we faced the world bold?
Have I become a stranger to your soul?
Why do the hearts drift apart, losing control?

[Verse]
I text and call, but it feels in vain
Like chasing ghosts in the pouring rain
We built a bridge only love could ignite
But now it's burning in the pale moonlight

You said you'd stay, you'd always be near
But even shadows can't hold on to what's dear
Where did we go wrong along this path?
This fame, this life, has drawn us a wrath

[Chorus]
How do we get back to the days of old
When hand in hand we faced the world bold?
Have I become a stranger to your soul?
Why do the hearts drift apart, losing control?

[Bridge]
I'll sing this song, to remember what's lost
In this life's game, we paid the highest cost
Though the stars shine, they feel so cold
I wanted you, I needed you, as I grow old

[Chorus]
How do we get back to the days of old
When hand in hand we faced the world bold?
Have I become a stranger to your soul?
Why do the hearts drift apart, losing control?
