I Don’t Know (2020)

This is the version we recorded before bringing in AI production and AI vocals. The song sits in that no-win space where you are too tired to stay and too tangled to leave. The chorus keeps asking the same question because real life often does. What happened to us, and what am I supposed to do now.

You will hear the draft all over it. Lines move mid take. Some phrases repeat while we search for the right shape. The vocal is a scratch pass that lets the feeling lead the melody, not the other way around. It is imperfect on purpose.

The story is simple. Two people locked in a loop. Fights that blur together. A long road that drains the will to keep walking. The narrator keeps reaching out, then pulls back. That push and pull lives in the arrangement too, even in this early state.

Why include a rough version like this. Because it shows our process. We use AI to test keys, tempo, harmony, and tone. We give it a track like this and ask it to help us clean the rhythm, balance the dynamics, and carry a vocal that our home setup cannot. The result is not a shortcut. It is a better sketch to hand to real players later.

What to listen for:

  • The opening verse sets the weight and the breathless feel.
  • Each chorus swaps a single word in the last line to match the moment.
  • The bridge admits the truth. I want to stay, but I cannot go on this way.
  • The final verses step out onto open road. Fear is still there, but so is freedom.

Later versions tightened the lyric, clarified the rhyme, and gave the chorus a stronger lift. This 2020 cut keeps the raw edges so you can hear where it started and why we asked AI to help us finish the idea.

If the theme hits you, tell us how you would arrange it. Different tempo. Different groove. Different harmony. We are always keen to hear new takes that help us turn a rough concept into the best version of itself.
