What is "So I Said to This Bloke?"

QUESTION: What is “So I Said to This Bloke?”

Well, “So I Said to This Bloke, Or Adding Other People’s Words Into an A.I. App” is a collection of songs I made on the Mozart AI songwriting app.

QUESTION: What’s it all about?

It doesn’t really have any theme. When I first downloaded the app I wondered what certain things would sound like if they were put to music, and then I wondered what certain songs would sound like if they were put to different styles of music.

Alliances II: Civil War II Chapter Seventy-Five

As Luke's X-wing returned to the hangar bay, he found that the celebrations had already begun. On this day, the Rebel Alliance, with some help from the Free Federation, had achieved an outstanding victory, a victory that would be felt across the entire known galaxy.

Alliances II: Civil War II Chapter Seventy-Four

The X-wings continued to move down the trench. Skywalker felt proud to be a part of this team, especially with his old friend, Biggs Darklighter, not far away from him. He had grown up with Biggs on Tatooine, and Biggs had skipped from an Imperial freighter so he could join the Rebel Alliance. Now he was serving them in the best possible way he could. In front of him was perhaps the Rebel's finest pilot, Wedge Antilles. Wedge's brother had been the captain of the Tantive IV, and had been killed by Vader not long ago. Although Wedge had revenge on his mind, he knew he couldn't let these thoughts cloud his judgment. He had to work for the greater good of the Rebel Alliance.
