LYRICS:
I love when you try on the clothes you wore back when we met
Lying on the floor -- breathe in a little more
You're still the girl I fell in love with, minus the belt
Remember whenever we used to stay out all night long drinking or something?
Laugh at everything!
Why do our friends no longer want to go out these days?
So here we are
And so far I don't feel the years have passed as quickly as they have
I don't think we've changed at all
Turn a page, act your age -- we don't need to hear such nonsense
That is the elephant in the room
So someday we might say let's stay at home and watch TV
Maybe we could cook, curl up with a book
That doesn't mean we're slowing down we just want a change
I've known you for so long I forget just what it's like to be a single man
I was much younger then!
How bizarre...
Here we are
And so far I don't feel the years have passed as quickly as they have
I don't think we've changed at all
Turn a page, act your age -- we don't need to hear such nonsense
That is the elephant in the room

== HOW THIS VIDEO WAS CREATED ==
The concept of the video is to explore the many possibilities of an "infinite canvas". But further, I also want the infinite canvas to become a "magical canvas" which is able to surreptitiously change its contents. So as the camera pans and zooms around, the images changes just off-camera such that when the camera returns to the original position the image is now completely different. To viewers of the video the transition is seamless and doesn't draw attention to itself.
I used Stable Diffusion Forge (https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge), using SDXL output of 1024x1024. It was a pretty unremarkable install, I did not use ControlNet or any additional A1111 extensions apart from (https://github.com/Haoming02/sd-webui-mosaic-outpaint).
Additionally, some minor image retouching and composition was done with Adobe Photoshop, the video was edited with Final Cut Pro. Topaz Video AI was used to slightly increase the video resolution up to 4K, although this made no perceptible improvement to the final video IMO.
== I asked CLAUDE.AI to describe this song ==
These lyrics seem to be using vivid natural imagery of trees and their growth rings as a metaphor for an enduring romantic love and relationship.
The opening lines describing "majestic trees" ascending serenely and swaying gently paint a peaceful, natural scene. The narrator refers to recalling or reminiscing about a specific place and day, suggesting memories of when this love began.
The repeated lines "and there you are" imply that when the narrator slips into this reverie or dream state, their romantic partner is metaphorically present with them in spirit.
The lines about "golden rings" representing "our love for eternity" use the visual of growth rings inside tree trunks as symbolic of each year their love has grown and endured. Their "branches interlace and radiate" much like their lives intertwining.
Towards the end, the narrator refers to singing this "song" to their partner when they first met, indicating the lyrics are expressing an intimate message between two lovers across time.
The overall imagery and tone suggest these lyrics are a tender, poetic expression of an eternal, intertwined romantic love that has grown over many years, akin to the growth of a mighty tree. The power of memory and recollection allows the lovers to transcend time and space to be together.
