Process: 1) I came up with the title, hook, and lyric. 2) I used a back and forth process with Chat GPT to hone the lyric to where I wanted it to be. Writing and rewriting. 3) I had GPT create a chord chart based upon the genre, style, tempo, feel, and vibe I was searching for. 4) I used Suno to produce versions until I found one I liked. 5.) I used PowerDirector to create a lyric video. 6.) I used Chat GPT to create a highly discoverable video description, hashtags, and seo tags based upon the parameters I requested. 7) I uploaded it to my channel. Sounds simple but it was actually quite a process that took several hours. Somewhere in the area of 6-8. This is the result.
Fireflies In A Mason Jar Copyright 2025 by Wes Tibbets
[Verse 1] Sunrise creepin’ through the blinds Coffee brewin’, kissin’ your smile Old dog stretchin’ on the porch swing Radio hummin’ some George Strait style Tank full of gas and a wild kinda plan You in that sundress, tan lines and a tan Cruisin' down Main with the windows low It’s one of those days we take real slow
[Chorus] We got fireflies in a mason jar Tailgates down and a sky full of stars Laughin’ loud in the summer breeze You and me, just runnin' free A little reckless, hearts on fire Dancin' in dust, climbin' higher Right where we are, it's who we are Catchin’ fireflies in a mason jar
[Verse 2] Ice meltin’ in your sweet tea glass You spin barefoot in the cuttin’ grass Grandpa’s guitar hums a front porch tune And I pray this night don’t end too soon Every mile's got a moment we claim Every smile’s like a sweet champagne You and me, we don’t need much Just that hometown moon and your gentle touch
[Chorus] We got fireflies in a mason jar Tailgates down and a sky full of stars Laughin’ loud in the summer breeze You and me, just runnin' free A little reckless, hearts on fire Dancin' in dust, climbin' higher Right where we are, it's who we are Catchin’ fireflies in a mason jar
[Bridge] Ain’t chasin’ money, or time, or gold It’s your hand in mine, never lettin’ go This love's our spark, this town’s our song Right where we’ve been all along
[Final Chorus] We got fireflies in a mason jar Tailgates down and a sky full of stars Laughin’ loud in the summer breeze You and me, just runnin' free A little reckless, hearts on fire Dancin' in dust, climbin' higher Right where we are, it's who we are Catchin’ fireflies in a mason jar
[Tag] Right here, right now, under this moonlit sky We’re catchin’ fireflies in a mason jar
Your process produced a song that sounds (to me) like what is on country radio. Modern country, beats, upbeat, uptempo, very visual and the music delivers it.
You got a new fan. I'll be watching for your stuff.
Have a good weekend, I'm headed up to Spicewood for the weekend. Probably go to Pooty's tomorrow night. Always good music there. A few years ago, was coming back from CO and spent a night in Abilene. Pretty town, but you all roll up streets early.
It's a pleasure meeting you and a fellow Texan. I'm glad you like the song. Abilene's music scene isn't much to brag about. Our biggest nightclub is still spinning CDs. Some people refuse to let go of the ghost. I've lived a lot of places and traveled extensively plying my wares as a club disc jockey. I was raised 70 miles North of Abilene in Haskell County. I returned here during COVID and retired as a disc jockey. I caught COVID twice within 6 months working nightclubs and it almost did me in. It did do in several people I knew who worked in that arena. I've spent many a fun filled, I-can't-recall evening in Travis County. Enjoy your trip to Spicewood. Cheers!
