Liner Notes

So, I jumped on this #skirmish prompt because I had no idea what "Frutiger Aero" meant. Quick education online, and I appreciate the aesthetic. Which led to thoughts about online branding and visual impact and capturing the runaway kite before it blows away. Somehow Aero morphed to Ego. I tossed the lyrics (below) into Sunu AI which I just discovered today. It's a game-changer for skirmishes, hence full disclosure. And my guest singer tonight is not only better vocally but better looking. (PS: I just learned there's a protocol for tagging #AI songs that were AI generated. Only fair...and I'm already at #15 so no harm, no foul!

Lyrics

FRUTIGER EGO (c.2025 raspberry33)

VERSE 1:
Capture the zeitgeist of the day
Frenetic, poetic, it’s all OK
It’s your brand, your look
And everything’s all about branding

VERSE 2:
Cyberprep and solar punk
Toss old concepts in the junk
Then find the key to the trunk
And promote understanding

CHORUS:
Bring me back to the early ‘aughts
Fractured fonts, cohesive thoughts
Where images have all returned to nature

VERSE 3:
Auroras are dynamic light
Rays that spiral out of sight
Can you capture the runaway kite
Before it blows away

This is such a wonderful interpretation! Couldn’t have anticipated that.

Frutiger Aero was all the rage (even if it isn't what we actually called it then). This captures the era musically and lyrically.

Hey hey! This turned out well! It sounds like we were in the same boat trying to figure out what it meant and then trying to ask AI to help us with the music! I really LOVE your chorus. I tried about 6 different AI version and not sure I captured anything that works. I like your song!
