What if it works? · 3:38 · sound on

I'm not a musician. I made this anyway.

A song and a music video, made with AI. It took me 3 weeks and 230 versions.

Most people have a dream they keep saying "some other day" to.

Mine was to make a song. And a video to go with it.

I can't sing. I can't play an instrument. I can't animate.

So I described what I could see in my head, and let AI do the parts I couldn't.

Suno made the song. Claude Code built the visuals, cardboard cut-outs and a 3D opening scene. Codex painted the textures.

It wasn't quick. One pillow looked like Play-Doh for days. My son asked why my "cardboard" bedroom looked like wood. He was right.

The song is about the question we ask ourselves before we start anything.

What if it fails?

It's the wrong question.

You don't need to know the language. You just need to know the dream.

The last scene is a felt family with four boys. Because I have four boys.

If you've ever thought "I'm not the techy type", I'll show you exactly how I did it.
