Here is something I put together yesterday, using William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" as the lyric. This creates very strong prosody, as does most classical poetry for it's strong, pronounced meter. Many extensions later I had an unwieldy beast which I then tamed in FL Studio. This is alt universe John Lennon type of singer, joins the Moody Blues, who after "Days of Future Past" decide to do another orchestral outing: https://soundcloud.com/michael-j-za...ium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharingYou might find it bombastic, but honestly, I could not do a better job writing a composition to the poem. It seems perfect, to me, as a composition. The recording less so. I could easily add a vocalist an octave up, in harmony w/the lower voice. But this does show that Udio WILL stick to custom lyrics you feed it. It is word for word, the Wordsworth poem... ************************************************************************************ I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud By William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.
