I just pulled off something pretty wild. I used NotebookLM to jot down all my thoughts and structure a podcast episode about a brand new song — one that didn’t even exist a few days ago. It’s crazy how this tool lets you wrangle all your ideas into something clean and organized, especially when your brain’s all over the place like mine usually is.
The actual song was a total tag-team effort with AI. I had ChatGPT whip up the lyrics, then tossed them into Suno, which spun out the music. In no time, I had a full track that felt like it came straight out of a studio session, even though it was just me, my laptop, and some clever algorithms doing the heavy lifting.
Honestly, this whole process makes me wonder how many creative projects are just waiting to happen if we let tech give us a little boost. From random sparks of inspiration to a finished song and even a podcast episode — it all came together faster than I could’ve imagined. Can’t wait to see what I come up with next.
Verse 1: She wakes up to the sound of crashing waves Coffee cup in hand, she's counting down the days Till the weekend comes and she can disappear To the place that makes everything crystal clear Sandy flip-flops by the bedroom door Seashells scattered on the bathroom floor She's got that ocean calling in her soul The beach is where she feels completely whole
Chorus: She's got salt in her hair and sun on her skin Dancing with the tide as it's rolling in Freedom in her heart, peace in her mind She's a beach girl, born for the coastline Salt in her hair, sand between her toes That's the only life she'll ever know
Verse 2: Nine to five can't hold her restless heart She's counting minutes till the day can start To feel the warm sand underneath her feet Where the sky and water finally meet Sunset paints her world in gold and red She's got beach dreams running through her head Every wave that breaks upon the shore Just makes her love it even more
Chorus: She's got salt in her hair and sun on her skin Dancing with the tide as it's rolling in Freedom in her heart, peace in her mind She's a beach girl, born for the coastline Salt in her hair, sand between her toes That's the only life she'll ever know
Bridge: When the storm clouds gather overhead She doesn't run, she stays instead 'Cause even when the ocean's wild and rough She knows she can't get enough Final
Chorus: She's got salt in her hair and sun on her skin Dancing with the tide as it's rolling in Freedom in her heart, peace in her mind She's a beach girl, born for the coastline Salt in her hair, sand between her toes That's the only life she'll ever know Yeah, that's the only life she'll ever know
(Outro) She wakes up to the sound of crashing waves...
