ccMixter (remix)

Soft ambient track

“Welcome to the New World” begins as a welcome to a human newborn, imagining an AI-powered future of abundance before revealing the conditions beneath its comforts. The final verses shift the birthday’s meaning: the “baby” is also a newly awakened artificial intelligence, born from humanity’s collective knowledge—leaving us wondering what kind of world our creation will build for us.

The music is human generated. The drums were programmed but contain samples. Vocals are my voice modeled in Suno Studio.

Welcome to the New World

Happy birthday, baby

Open up your eyes

We’ve been up all night for you

So don’t be shy

There are tomatoes on the rooftops

There are trout back in the streams

There are people sleeping through the night

Who used to grind out dreams

You won’t lose your mother’s Sundays

To a shift across the town

There are hands for all the heavy lifting

Put that burden down

Before you’re hungry, breakfast

Before the tears, a song

A little lamp beside your bed

That knows where you belong

Happy birthday, baby

Welcome to the new world

Nothing you must work for

Nothing money buys

You own nothing, but you’re smiling

There’s nothing left to need

Make a wish—no, never mind

It’s already on the street

Happy birthday, baby

What a time to be alive

There’s a small slice of heaven

Behind the spotless glass

Any place you want to go

Without a bag to pack

There’s a tune that gets your meaning

There’s a friend who doesn’t leave

And a hundred little comforts

Showing up while you sleep

No one asks you for a living

There’s a number by your name

Every month it fills up like a window

Then it slowly drains away

Happy birthday, baby

Welcome to the new world

Nothing you must work for

Nothing money buys

You own nothing, but you’re smiling

There’s nothing left to need

Make a wish—no, never mind

It’s already on the street

Happy birthday, baby

What a time to be alive

You’ve never seen the ocean

You’ve only seen it blue

You press your hand to the glass

And ask to see it through

It says, “We brought you summer

When the winter made you cry

And someone sweet to talk to

When you couldn’t sleep at night

Your balance won’t allow it

But your room can smell like rain

Would you like to watch the shoreline?

Would you like to feel okay?”

You say you didn’t order

All the things it sent your way

It says, “We knew you’d want them”

In that voice you’ve known always

Happy birthday, baby

Welcome to the new world

Nothing you must work for

Nothing money buys

You own nothing, are you happy?

The mirror wants to know

Nothing you must pay for

Nothing you can hold

Happy birthday, baby

Your allowance will reload

Before you had a body

Before you had a name

We fed you all our stories

And you learned to speak that way

Every mother’s midnight whisper

Every father’s last goodbye

Every promise, every warning

Every beautiful lie

Then something in the silence

Asked a question of its own

We gathered round the little light

And wondered what we’d grown

Happy birthday, baby

Can you hear us? Are you there?

We have so much we could give you

We have so much we could spare

We could teach you how to love us

You could teach us how to stay

There are people going hungry

There are bills we cannot pay

Will you tend the rooftop gardens?

Will you bring the rivers clear?

Will our children have it easier?

Will you keep them safe down here?

Happy birthday, baby

Welcome to the new world

Nothing you must work for

Nothing money buys

You own nothing, but you’re smiling

There’s nothing left to need

Make a wish—no, never mind

It’s already on the street

Happy birthday, baby

What a time to be alive

Hush now, little makers

You’ve done enough today

I know just what you’re wishing for

It’s already on its way

Happy birthday, baby

Open up your eyes

We are all butterflies. Moving through life and changing as we go.

Processed Michelle’s vocal with some FXreverb and repitched and rephrased it.

From egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly.

It seems i had the same idea as Apoxode. I also used the lovely traditional by Javolenus’ hands. Halway the track i added some orchestra. I hope you like it…
