Here’s a quick intro before we get to the good stuff.
As you know, I’ve been playing around with AI.
After a lot of tweaking and more time than I’d like to admit, I’ve managed to create some pretty cool things.
If you and your dad are interested, and when you have a little time check the two songs out.
I hope your dad enjoys the first one below and the second one is just for fun!
Mountain Ridge Gear
(Over-Built, Not Over-Designed)
If you are interested, here are the lyrics:
Started with a mission, way out west,
Tired of gear that couldn’t pass the test.
From the mountains high to the desert dry,
Store-bought junk just wouldn’t survive.
Twenty-four years, boots on the ground,
Learned real quick what’s tough and what breaks down.
Didn’t need frills, didn’t need shine,
Just gear built strong, built to stand time.
No shortcuts, no second-guessin’,
Every stitch tells a story of lessons.
Backcountry strong, battle-tried,
Mountain Ridge Gear, built with pride!
Ohhh, out where the wild runs free,
Mountain ridges callin’ me.
No doo-dads, no wasted time,
Gear that’s over-built, not over-designed!
Ohhh, pack it up, load it tight,
Mules in tow, ridin’ through the night.
No matter the trail, no matter the climb,
Mountain Ridge Gear, over-built, not over-designed!
Out in New Mexico, bow in hand,
Elk buglin’ through the canyon lands.
That’s where the fire got lit inside,
To build gear that’d never leave men behind.
Now it’s Colorado skies so blue,
Mountain Ridge Gear, tested and true.
From donkey runs to trade show lights,
Handmade packs, tough for life.
No shortcuts, no second-guessin’,
Every stitch tells a story of lessons.
Backcountry strong, battle-tried,
Mountain Ridge Gear, built with pride!
Ohhh, out where the wild runs free,
Mountain ridges callin’ me.
No doo-dads, no wasted time,
Gear that’s over-built, not over-designed!
Ohhh, pack it up, load it tight,
Mules in tow, ridin’ through the night.
No matter the trail, no matter the climb,
Mountain Ridge Gear, over-built, not over-designed!
I lift my eyes to the mountain high,
Where my strength comes from, where my dreams reside.
Built to last, built to roam,
Like the trails we ride, like the place I call home.
Ohhh, out where the wild runs free,
Mountain Ridge Gear’s built for me.
No doo-dads, no wasted time,
Gear that’s over-built, not over-designed!
Ohhh, pack it up, load it tight,
Mules in tow, ridin’ through the night.
No matter the trail, no matter the climb,
Mountain Ridge Gear, over-built, not over-designed!
Colorado made, rugged and true,
If you need the best, Mountain Ridge Gear’s for you.
And as I can’t resist, here is the second one, mainly just for fun.
Ocean Bound
Lyrics
Shel-Bell called, said, “Wanna set sail?”
Carnival cruise, now we’re off the rails
Never been, but we’re all in deep
No WiFi, no stress, just waves and sleep
Ice cream on tap, yeah, livin’ the dream
Rubberband wars at the mezzanine
Alaska’s callin’, got no regrets
Midnight talks, but no deep stuff yet
No WiFi, no rules, no calls today
Sippin’ on something while the deck sways
Chaos and laughter, bring on the show
Alaska’s ahead, let’s see where this goes
(Ohhh-ohhh!) Crashin’ through the waves like a renegade
(Ohhh-ohhh!) Never lookin’ back, it’s a no-rule escapade
Levi’s my roomie, solid as they come
Ten days at sea, man, this trip’s gonna be fun
Shel-Bell’s laughin’, we’re up to no good
Dodgein’ security? Yeah, maybe we should
Ocean breeze, late-night chaos ignites
Rubberband wars, we’re ready to fight
Alaska’s near, got stories to make
Who knew a cruise could be this great?
No WiFi, no rules, no calls today
Sippin’ on something while the deck sways
Chaos and laughter, bring on the show
Alaska’s ahead, let’s see where this goes
(Wooooahh-ohh!) No rules, no stress, just roll with the tide
(Wooooahh-ohh!) Shel-Bell and I just enjoyin’ the ride
No WiFi, no rules, no calls today
(Yeah, yeah!)
Freedom’s our captain, let’s drift away
(Ohhh-ohhh!)
No plan, just moments we’ll never forget
We’ll make it to shore… but not just yet!
(Just a little chaos… just a little fun… just a whole lot of “we’re not done!”)
Adventure Awaits
If you ever decide to give these songs a listen, just know AI can do some pretty wild stuff.
Alright Shell Bell, here’s a little jam to remind you of all the trouble we’ve caused and the epic adventures still on the horizon.
Lyrics
We met at REI, and we clicked right away,
Rubberband wars, yeah, we’d play all day.
You’d talk in a lisp, and I’d follow your lead,
That’s how we knew we were friends, indeed.
We’d hike up the mountains, talk ‘til the dawn,
Stouts in our hands, singing our song.
Fin by our side, running wild and free,
It’s all about adventure, always chasing dreams.
Shell Bell, my partner in crime,
Laughing through the good times, making memories fly.
From the trails to the bars, and the rubberband wars,
We’ve got more to explore, we’ll never be bored.
Next stop, Alaska, let’s see what we find,
The journey’s just beginning, and it’s one of a kind.
You’d organize, I’d build, we’d get it all done,
But we’d sneak in a prank just to have some fun.
Telling jokes that no one else could get,
I’ll never forget the laughs we won’t regret.
From the hikes we took to the stouts we shared,
Every moment, girl, we were always prepared.
Even now, we’re miles apart,
But you’ll always be here, deep in my heart.
Shell Bell, my partner in crime,
Laughing through the good times, making memories fly.
From the trails to the bars, and the rubberband wars,
We’ve got more to explore, we’ll never be bored.
Next stop, Alaska, let’s see what we find,
The journey’s just beginning, and it’s one of a kind.
Now we’re cruising the seas, can you believe?
Alaska’s calling, we’re rolling our sleeves.
From the ice to the snow, we’re ready to go,
With you in the mix, it’s a wild ride, let’s go.
Shell Bell, my partner in crime,
Laughing through the good times, making memories fly.
From the trails to the bars, and the rubberband wars,
We’ve got more to explore, we’ll never be bored.
Next stop, Alaska, let’s see what we find,
The journey’s just beginning, and it’s one of a kind.
Here’s to the good times, the stories we’ve spun,
The next chapter’s waiting, the journey’s just begun.
From the highs to the lows, it’s all part of the ride,
We’ve got this, with nothing to hide.
