I'm in a sad mood at the moment and thought it might help to write a song. This is "The Palace Turns into a Circus".


The Palace Turns into a Circus
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14930829

[Verse]
Once a palace reaching toward the sky
Built on dreams, where truth would never die
Shadows crept with a painted grin
Echoes of joy turned to cries within

[Pre-chorus]
The circus grows as truth takes its fall
No throne can rise on lies not small

[Chorus]
When a clown with orange hair takes the stage
The palace loses all its grace
No crown, no king, just sleight of hand
It’s all a circus, no promised land
Whoa-oh, the palace turns into a circus
Yeah-yeah, the palace turns into a circus

[Verse]
He juggles truths, they shatter like glass
Balancing chaos, his lies amass
The crowd cheers blind, a hypnotized stare
While flames consume the fragile air

[Pre-chorus]
The circus grows as truth takes its fall
No throne can rise on lies not small

[Chorus]
When a clown with orange hair takes the stage
The palace loses all its grace
No crown, no king, just sleight of hand
It’s all a circus, no promised land
Whoa-oh, the palace turns into a circus
Yeah-yeah, the palace turns into a circus

[Bridge]
Oh, the jesters dance, the crowd’s entranced
The clown spreads fear with every chance
Behind the mask, some see the game
A kingdom lost to the weight of shame

[Chorus]
When a clown with orange hair takes the stage
The palace loses all its grace
No crown, no king, just sleight of hand
It’s all a circus, no promised land
Whoa-oh, the palace turns into a circus
Yeah-yeah, the palace turns into a circus

[Outro]
The tent falls down, the crowd moves on
The laughter fades, the circus gone
The palace waits, its story untold
For a ruler with courage, just and bold

Well politics is a circus , that's for sure . Sounds good Rob. The left would like it . you can guess on the right .Compromise is a forgotten word in politics

Change: When a clown with orange hair three legs takes the stage

- makes it more generic
- could be AI music as subject of lyric...leave audience guessing.

Change: Oh, the jesters dance, the crowd’s entranced

-prepare your audience more for the turn around at the end...ie not so entranced anymore?

I like the female vocal choice and music.

Bill

Hi Elvis,
I find it interesting that you think this is about American politics. It’s a song about a ruler of a palace who acts like a clown and constantly lies. Nothing more and nothing less. I have no idea why you think the left would like it and the right might not. Oh shi*t, what did I do wrong?

All the best - Robert

Hi Bill,
a clown with 3 legs? Since when do clowns have 3 legs? I’ve never seen a clown with 3 legs. Sorry, I don’t get it. But thank you anyway.
I’m glad you like my vocalist.

All the best - Robert

Hey Rob,

I'll admit that when I first read through these lyrics my thoughts immediately went to Trump (the reference to "orange" being the catalyst).
Aside from that, the lyric is spot on, the vocal is alluring, and the music is haunting.

I like it.


Keep up the great posts, sir!


Peace,

Dave

Yup, the orange and the reference to it being built on lies....it's all there for those who would see those words through their experience.

Where I've gone around the block, and the many years I have done so, I have come to this conlcusion

Gailbraith was right.

John Kenneth Gailbraith was an economist who spoke of countervailing power that caused events and times to swing back and forth like a pendulum.

It was articulated around labour practices and the development of unions, but the principle applies elsewhere.

So for the next years while Trump tries to MAGA into a "Golden Age" , he will mobilize "right wing" ideas and agendas and given the institutional powers entrenched into the Republican Party,
USA will begin to resemble the ideas and individual competence of those responsible for implementing them. Against this others will try to hold the fort against it best they can.

We, as the Chinese might say, live in interesting times.

Oh and my theory as to why Musk was a big huge financier of Trump is that he made a deal with him

Trump is going to announce that the USA will be going to Mars, and put Musk in charge and on the first rocket to be the first man on Mars.

Elon will in turn build the first Mars City Trump Tower, together with the Mar el Lago Mars City Trump owned golf course. Lots of sand traps make it tough to play
but the lack of water hazards will mitigate that some.

Mark my words, before the end of his term.

Oh but the Chinese will get there first. Man the news of the cheap AI ....has to be in the algorithm....they made an algorhythm

Whatever it is it pummeled the markets ahhh...great story from BBC on this https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czepw096wy4o Wired too https://www.wired.com/story/deepseek-china-model-ai/

I thought you were talking about Trump , my bad
When a clown with orange hair takes the stage

Hi John,
Trump has orange hair? Now I get it, why everybody thinks this song is about Trump. Speaking of the guy, I'd really like to know what his plan is besides becoming the richest man on our planet. I personally think he is preparing a kind of dictatorship. He is certainly ruining the good relationship the US had to many other countries. That "good" relationship made the world a safer place. In his first week he released loads of thugs including the founder of "Silk Road". Now he's going to lock everybody up who just did their job and sent those thugs to jail. "Interesting times" is probably the wrong term. We'll see. It will be interesting to see who he will blame when inflation will make life hard for millions of Americans. The bad thing is that his tariffs will affect the whole world. We'll have a price explosion everywhere. He'll put tariffs on products from bunch of countries and they will retaliate by putting tariffs on US products. He'll solve his tax evading problems in Panama by taking over the canal. I'm not sure what his plans are with Greenland, but if he goes in and takes Greenland with military force that will instantly end the good relationship between Europe and the US. If that escalates, it might lead to travel bans between the US and Europe. Why???? Like I said, I'd like to know what his master plan is (if he has one).

Elvis,
yeah, now I get it. My clown doesn't have red hair, he has orange hair. Trump's hair color is a funny blond orange-ish color. And the lies and some of the other things ... I wasn't aware of that but I see the similarities. Maybe I should try to market this one as an anti-Trump song. On second thought, no ... I don't think there is a market for that right now and it might even get me in trouble. These days you have to be careful what you say about the guy. This is just like in Germany 90 years ago and in Eastern Germany until 1989.

Take care - Robert

Trump songs ? Maybe not . Depends if you want the grief from a fan base. You see how political chants go , its like everyone is 3 years old and no unity

Hey Rob, thanks for putting this one up....you stirred things up, like they should be stirred up, and illustrated the potential of AI music as a trigger. Good show. More, More!

Bill

Thank you Bill!

Rob, I think you found a great marriage between the music and the lyric, the story kept my attention all the way through. I too, thought this was about 47. Good stuff man.

Hey Barry,
thanks for the feedback. Maybe he did inspire me indirectly.
