....... You can tell, Rick Ruben doesn't have his hands on any of this.

I reject Ai and anyone who succumbs to it.

Does math frighten you? Or is it just the fast processing of numbers that you find so terrifying?

Rejecting AI is rejecting mathematics. That's all it is.

I reject the process of relying on Ai to do math. When I can do it myself.

Beautiful

Well done. The voice is like a masculine version of Leigh Nash, whose Christmas album is one of our household favorites.

I tried out Suno, after just a few minutes I am impressed by how easy it is to come up with something that doesn’t completely suck.

I love them both. The traditional version is indeed very traditional, making me feel triumphant and upbeat. The acoustic version is my favorite of the two though, as it makes me feel warm and sentimental, which gives itself to reflection on the birth of our Savior.

Thanks for sharing these with us!

Beautiful song.

Is that you singing or does AI generate the vocals too?

Which AI tool did you use?

Expand full comment

It's all AI. I use Suno. Udio arguably has better voices, but Suno produces a better result, although it requires an amount of post-production tweaking.

Good. As it played I could imagine it being sung by a singer with a voice as wonderful as a young Emmylou Harris or Dally Parton; after all, it more of a folk song than a hymn or rock song.

That's a nice little tune. Is it completely produced by AI?

Expand full comment

Yes, albeit with a small amount of post-production work.

I'd love to buy these straight up. I do most of my streaming from a hard drive these days.

I'm liking the multiple mix idea more as I'm exposed to it. Something about breathy acoustic covers reminds me too much of summers at spiritually void Jesus camps, but that Holy Call mix hits me just right.

The lyrics are excellent.

Multiple mixes are a Psykosonik staple. Can you even call it a single without at least 4 remixes and a separate B-side?

I like it. That was really good.

Just lovely. It went directly into my YT Music Christmas playlist.

Wonderful. Soon we celebrate in earnest, the greatest gift ever given, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Son of God.

The first gift, was existence, Adam, Eve, Eden and the world.

Not long after, was a gift of clothes.

Many gifts did He give since then, from a warning of flood, covenant to flood no more, a promise to a lone man of faith Israel, liberation from a foreign land, law, manna, land, even Kings though people were warned.

But, Hope and then Victory over Death?

No gift greater than salvation.

Let none say 'Why does God let evil endure?" For though now as then men hope for a warlord to overturn the powers that be, ultimate victory is already offered! Death, defeated, now rides at our side, bane of tyrants, easer of earthly suffering!

Rejoice now, and later, for Christ is King.
