Hi all, happy 2026!

Startup Symphony (direct mp3 link)

Lyrics:
Quote from: AI
(Verse)
Boot it up the screen turns gray
System 7 here to stay
Centris dreams in pixel play
Quadra hums the time away
Startup chime like a sunrise glow
Performa's pace steady and slow
Power PC running the show
Memory’s full but we didn’t know

(Chorus)
Click click goes the mouse in hand
A world unfolds in this small land
Bit by bit we made our stand
Macintosh heartbeats so grand

(Verse 2)
Folder icons dance and blink
Hard drive whispers make you think
Monochrome vibes in our eyes
The future was our prize
Floppy disks in stacks and rows
Extensions clash but that’s how it goes
The Finder smiles it always knows
Where nostalgia deeply flows

(Prechorus)
Alert tones echo soft and sweet
Warm distortion complete

Although I know some people have issues with AI in it's various forms, I don't think many humans except the incredible David Pogue would ever agree to sing a song like this! My dad is a musician and has loved working with AI song generators which allow him to continue making songs after his hands and vocal cords no longer cooperate. I've really enjoyed making songs with him and this is the latest Mac-inspired creation.

"startup-symphony.mp3" can be downloaded for the next 365 days or so at http://files.catbox.moe/io36oy.mp3 (supposedly supports HTTP browsers, but I don't have any connected to the internet anymore)

Welcome, @gfinder!

That's an... interesting art piece you made there. Song, music and poetry over System 7, definitely not something we normally get to experience in these parts! Definitely is a breath of fresh air in a way. :) Good work!

Any chance we will get a hard rock cover of this later? ;)

That seems like fun one! Downloading doesn't work on Mac OS though, I get an error with Classila on OS 9 about "The web page might have been removed". Not sure ?

Anyway, now we need a complimentary Quicktime music video and then add it to Cornica.org! :-D
