Gemini: drafts 2 choruses, you check aloud

Gemini drafts 2 choruses with syllable counts and a repetition idea. You say each line aloud and choose.

  1. You

    Have ready: word list

  2. Gemini

    Draft 2 choruses

  3. You

    Count aloud, choose

  1. Have ready: your song word list

    Use: You

    Your hobby, 6 to 10 words or images you like, the mood, and any beat or tune in mind or missing.

    Check

    Check the list holds only things you want in the song. Mark untrue imagery as 'fiction'.

  2. Draft 2 choruses with counts

    Use: Gemini

    Ask Gemini for 2 different 4-line choruses, a bracketed syllable count after each line, and a repetition suggestion. It later rewrites only your marked lines.

    Details

    What to paste into the tool

    Task: Two choruses. Each has four short lines with a syllable count after every line in brackets, then one line saying which line or phrase to repeat and where. Write two different original chorus drafts for a song about my hobby. Layout for each: 'Chorus 1' or 'Chorus 2', four numbered lines with the syllable count in brackets after each line, then 'Repeat:' and one line saying which line or phrase to repeat and where. Use the words and mood below and no other facts about me. Do not copy any existing song or imitate any named living songwriter. Anything untrue is fiction; label it. Do not guess the language or tune; if the language is missing, ask before writing. Language: [write the language you chose, or write missing]. Word list: [paste your checked word list]. Mood: [write the mood]. Beat or tune idea: [write it, or write missing]. Task: Replacement lines with new syllable counts, and the rest unchanged. Rewrite only the lines I marked below, with a syllable count in brackets after each. Keep every other line exactly the same. Keep the words original, with no copied lyrics. Keep the repetition note for each chorus and all fiction labels. Do not imitate a named living songwriter. Choruses: [paste both checked choruses with their repetition notes]. Language: [write the chosen language, or write missing; if missing ask before revising]. Lines to change and why: [write the line numbers and what is wrong with each].

  3. Count aloud, fix lines, choose

    Use: You

    Say each line aloud and fix the counts, mark lines to change, ask for new versions in the same chat, then choose.

    Check

    Never trust the assistant's counts; recount each line yourself. Mark anything that sounds like a song you know. Nothing is posted or sent.

Before you paste into any AI tool, remove any confidential information. Put it back at the end.

What still needs checking
  • Whether assistant syllable counts are right: not yet checked; you must say each line aloud.
  • Whether any drafted line matches an existing song: not yet checked; you must check from your own knowledge.
  • Which Gemini plan, if any, is needed for this task.
  • Check the assistant's answers to these prompts yourself before relying on them.
