I Hear An Echo
I like most people I know have noticed how the internet through cookies trace what we like and sends us similar images and messages. It becomes and-endless echo chamber. So I wrote i hear an echo.I pictured it as sort of a John Lennon solo type of song,
So when I was finished i posted my song on Facebook 2025. Facebook at this time was starting to use AI. They had an AI feature that said who is Denny Carleton. It had pretty good info and was a Good concise bio.Then there was a feature what does it seem that I Hear An Echo About? AI answer was that based on Denny Carleton writings its probable a sensitive look at lost love . When I heard that I decide to change my post .
The new post i posted said Denny Carleton's song I Hear An Echo is about the Echo chamber of the internet and what if any are the drawbacks or dangers of that. AI then produced an orderly document about AI and the dangers or features of the Echo of being on line. Theres a lesson in there somewhere or maybe AI just needed a little coaching .
So about a month later I was teaching a young student of Indian descent . I asked him at his first lesson what type of music do you like . He said Bollywood. I told him I wasn't familiar but Ill give it a listen. I then said maybe Ill write some Bollywood Music. I then said noon second thought I will write some Bollywood Music.
About two days later I checked on line and my bio. I was curious to see if that evolves with new info .To my surprise it said that Denny Carleton is a very eclectic writer and soon he will be composing music in the style of Bollywood. I laughed and thought thats off the wall but the I realize got that info from my mic that is on my phone.
So below are the lyrics for I hear an echo
I hear an echo
Even if I speak low
I learn things I do know
That’s how it flows
You are what you search for
Thats not a metaphor
Seems I been here before
you know all my folklore
Then I feel danger
When A total stranger
A thought arranger
they deem obscene.
I hear an echo
Even if I speak low
Now let me scream scream scream
To show what I mean mean mean
They showed a mirror
The truth got much clearer
In the image I see see see
The problem is me me me
When I hear an echo
I learn things I do know
so it goes
That’s how it is flows
Were all agreeing
That’s why I’m fleeing
Can’t believe what I’m seeing
A clone of my being
When my choices all add up
I’m fed from the same cup
It’s nothin but a hiccup
It’s all the same stuff
I’m leaving this killing floor
back to where I was before
Yes less is more
And leave though an open door
I hear an echo
Even if I speak low
Now let me scream scream scream
To show what I mean mean mean
I hear an echo 4x
Below is the Song I Hear An Echo and below is a link to a low tech Sci Fi I wrote while attending Lakeland Community College in 1985. Its a radio drama ( very low fi) about a future time where the problem is everyone is confused and They are submitting information into the symbol translator which its function is to restore logic and unconfuse everyone.
