Okie now let us enjoy the moment. There are certain songs that stay with you—not just as music, but as emotions you can revisit anytime. Recently, I spent some quiet time with one of my favourite Tamil songs: Watch on YouTube.

This song has always fascinated me with its beautiful lyrics and mesmerising music. As a fan of art and technology, I wanted to explore how far today’s tools can help me experience a song in new dimensions—without ever taking away from the originality or essence of the work.

Original Lyrics

"**கனவே கனவே**"

மௌனமான மரணம் ஒன்று உயிரை கொண்டு போனதே 
உயரமான கனவு இன்று தரையில் வீழ்ந்து போனதே 
திசையும் போனது திமிரும் போனது 
தனிமை தீயிலே வாடினேன் 
நிழலும் போனது நிஜமும் போனது 
எனக்குள் எனையே தேடினேன் 

கனவே கனவே கலைவதேனோ 
கரங்கள் ரணமாய் கரைவதேனோ 
நினைவே நினைவே அரைவதேனோ 
எனது உலகம் உடைவதேனோ 

கண்கள் ரெண்டும் நீரிலே 
மீனை போல வாழுதே 
கடவுளும் பெண் இதயமும் 
இருக்குதா அட இல்லையா 

ஓஹோ நானும் இங்கே வலியிலே 
நீயும் அங்கோ சிரிப்பிலே 
காற்றில் எங்கும் தேடினேன் 
பேசி போன வார்த்தையை 

இது நியாயமா மனம் தாங்குமா 
என் ஆசைகள் அது பாவமா... 

கனவே கனவே... 
கரங்கள் ரணமாய்... 
நினைவே நினைவே அரைவதேனோ 
எனது உலகம் உடைவதேனோ 

To test the artistic ability of AI

I began by taking the original Tamil lyrics and, with the help of ChatGPT, created an English version that retained the emotional essence of the song. It wasn’t a literal translation—it was more like a heartfelt interpretation. After a few rounds of revisions, I had a version that I felt captured the mood I experience whenever I listen to the song.

This process itself was enjoyable. It was a dialogue between my heart, the song’s essence, and a tool that could reflect and refine my thoughts. It is always fun to talk to a reflection of you with more abilities to express easily what you felt.

Here is the output

**"Dream oh my dream"** 

A silent death stole a soul away, 
A lofty dream fell to the earth today. 
Pride departed, directions blurred, 
In the flames of solitude, I burned. 
Shadows faded, truths dissolved, 
Within myself, I searched, unresolved. 

Oh dream, oh dream, why do you fade? 
Why do these hands bear scars that won’t abate? 
Oh memory, oh memory, why do you wane? 
Why does my world shatter in pain? 

Eyes adrift in streams of tears, 
Living like a fish in waters unclear. 
Does God exist, does love endure? 
Or is it all a lie, a fate unsure? 

Here I am, engulfed in pain, 
There you are, smiling again. 
I searched the winds for words once spoken, 
Only to find promises broken. 

Is this just? Can my heart sustain? 
Are my dreams a sin, a source of blame? 

Once you get the output as a developer you always wanted to share and see the output. A moment of visualising the output always a sense of satisfaction. I also wanted to visualise the output in an art form.

Started imagining how the scene would be

I turned them into prompts to generate images using ChatGPT and the Flux model for image generation. Watching the tool produce visual interpretations of the emotion I felt was a moment of pure euphoria.

Prompt used to generate image in both the AI tools:

A somber, emotional scene set in a quiet, desolate landscape at dusk. A lone figure, dressed in dark, tattered clothing, sits on the ground, head bowed, surrounded by broken, feathered wings scattered like remnants of shattered dreams. The background is vast and barren, with a faint, blurred horizon symbolizing lost direction. Fading silhouettes of memories, like translucent shadows, drift into the air. 

Nearby, a small pool of water reflects the figure's tear-streaked face, with their eyes resembling a fish swimming in sorrow. In the distance, a faintly visible figure, illuminated by a soft golden glow, stands laughing, creating a stark emotional contrast. The overall atmosphere is melancholic, with muted earthy tones, soft lighting, and a gentle breeze stirring the scene. 

I got two beatifull images which reflect the ability of the tool and also how fascinating to see an art form as a complete output of a machine.

ChatGPT output

A few years ago, creating a personalised visual representation of a song’s mood would have been a distant dream for most of us. Today, technology allows us to visualise our own “fan moment” — a creative interpretation that exists purely for the joy of experiencing art.

Now let us see the Flux Model output

Some of us already know what image generation and these models can do, but sharing it again for few like me who were not aware much of these earlier. Flux model is one of the best at the time of writing this blog to generate images much much more realistic and capable to create wonders. we will write some blogs on how I learnt to create images using Flux model.

Now let us continue having fun as a fan and enjoy the fan moment in appreciating the art.

Let us add music to the words and scene

Finally, I took my English lyrics to suno.ai to generate a tune and transform it into a full-fledged song. Hearing my words come to life with a melody was a surreal experience.

While I know this is not the original composition and cannot match the mastery of the creators, it gave me a profound sense of satisfaction. It felt like technology allowed me to participate in the art—not as a creator replacing the original, but as a fan enjoying a customised journey through the music.

I just felt like the exact moment of Robinson Crusoe [Cast Away]: ‘Yeah!!! Look what I have created. I HAVE MADE FIRE, I, HAVE MADE FIRE’ :) :) :)

I created this image without thinking that this is apt for this blog. You will always use your learning somewhere. My teacher used to say that. When getting old, I started to believe it :) .

Yes, it was a moment of achievement and a sense of satisfaction that it is unique, new and a lovable result.

This journey wasn’t about recreating art. It was about celebrating art. Technology, in this case, became a bridge between my admiration for the original work and my curiosity to interact with it in a new way.

As a technologist, I realised that these tools, image generation models, and AI music platforms allow us to experience creativity at an abstract level—to visualise, to reinterpret, and to emotionally engage in ways that were once impossible.

And as a fan, the joy lies in that small sense of personal connection: a moment of happiness where art and technology meet in harmony.

Again and again and again saying AI tools will never replace the soul of human creativity. But they can help us, as admirers of art, explore tiny reflections of that creativity in our own way—creating moments of personal joy that honor, not replace, the original masterpiece.
