Today is a special day – my son’s 8th birthday! He’s been excitedly counting down the days until he would receive the Meta Quest VR headset he’s been dreaming of. To express his anticipation, he even wrote an original song about it! I’m so proud of his creativity. The lyrics chronicle his journey from eagerly awaiting this birthday gift to the magical moment of finally getting to experience VR.
I ran his original lyrics through Claude 3 Opus to enhance them, adding more imagery and structure. Then some Suno AI magic to generate the music for the enhanced version, bringing the whole thing to life. Below are his original lyrics as well as the AI-enhanced versions. It’s amazing to see his raw creativity transformed into a full-fledged song with the help of artificial intelligence. But most of all, I’m just thrilled to see my son so passionate and excited about something.
Original Lyrics by Marc Jacob
It was 11 April close to my birthday,
the day I am getting a meta quest.
Just so happy I can’t stop thinking about Job Sim.
Now it’s 17 April and getting closer to getting a meta quest,
can’t wait to see this thing!
Now it’s the 26th of April,
and after Mrs Laura’s class I’m just too excited,
I feel too hyper!
Then now it’s my Birthday, the 27th of April,
like in a race its the time i see this thing!
I open my gift not expecting anything
but what I see is a meta quest for me!
Then my dad opens the box while I’m still in shock,
then my dad adds the lens
and then its takes a while to set it up,
getting stuff, stuck in jams
or having difficulty setting up the VR on his phone.
But then my dad finally gets it
and i play the VR
and live a better life than before!
Enchanced Lyrics by Claude 3 Opus
Intro:
April 11th, the countdown starts
My birthday wish, straight from the heart
Verse 1:
Meta Quest, the dream so bright
Job Sim, I’ll play all night
April 17th, getting so close
Can’t contain my excitement, it shows
Chorus:
Waiting for the day, it’s drawing near
My Meta Quest, oh so dear
Counting every second, every hour
Soon, I’ll have this super power
Verse 2:
Mrs. Laura’s class, April 26th
My mind’s on VR, I can’t resist
Hyperactive, can’t sit still
Tomorrow’s the day, what a thrill!
Bridge:
April 27th, my birthday’s here
Like a race, the finish line’s near
I open the gift, and there it is
Meta Quest, my ultimate wish!
Chorus:
Waiting for the day, it’s finally here
My Meta Quest, let’s give a cheer
The moment’s arrived, I’m on cloud nine
Ready for adventures, all mine!
Verse 3:
Dad unboxes it, I’m in awe
Lenses in, I’m ready to explore
Setup takes time, but that’s okay
Can’t wait to dive in and play
Outro:
At last, it’s ready, the VR world
A new reality, about to unfurl
Thanks to my Dad, for making it true
Meta Quest and me, our journey’s new!
Watching my son’s excitement and anticipation build over the last few weeks has been a joy. Seeing it all culminate today on his birthday as his wish finally came true filled my heart with warmth and pride. The look of awe and wonder on his face as he took his first steps into the world of VR – that’s a moment I’ll treasure forever.
I hope you enjoyed reading his original lyrics and seeing the AI-enhanced versions. I’m blown away by the creative potential when human imagination meets the power of artificial intelligence. But even more so, I’m in awe of my son’s creativity, passion and ability to express himself. I can’t wait to see where his imagination takes him, in the virtual world and the real one.
Happy birthday Marc Jacob! Thank you for letting us be part of your special day and sharing your gifts with the world. Now if you’ll excuse me, I want to play virtual table tennis on this thing!
