    Sonic and Surreal Stanzas Envisioned #12: "Choosin' Texas" Reimagined By Flux

    This is #12 of the musings where we let Flux interpret song lyrics.  

    I take and feed Song lyrics into Flux and then let Flux interpret them into whatever image it wants with no further direction.

    The song given to Flux is: Choosin' Texas

    It is by: Ella Langley

    The process is where I give Flux the lyrics multiple times.

    -       Option 1 - with a 3:2 Landscape ratio

    -       Option 2 - with a 2:3 Vertical ratio

    -       Option 3 - with a 2:1 Landscape ratio and to write the song title in the image.

    What I have found is that sometimes Flux is obedient, and will put the song title into an image, other times it will still do what it wishes. In this case this is what happened. I ended up with two cover images seperately. One with just the words, and one with the image you see here. So I combined them to get the cover image.

    I have noticed that Flux will switch styles along with how it chooses to interpret things. In this case it chose what feels like 3 different artistic styles.

    Option 3 is what you will always see as the cover image on these articles.

    Option 1 and 2 will always be in the body of these musings.

    Here is Option 3 without the title.

    Here is Option 1

    Here is Option 2

    The lyrics that were used.

    Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
    I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene
    I put him right back into her arms
    I wasn't a match for that kinda spark

    She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
    He's two steppin' 'round the room
    And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
    There's nothin' I can do
    It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
    A cowboy always finds a way to leave
    Drinkin' Jack all by myself
    He's choosin' Texas, I can tell

    Well, I guess he forgot about the Smoky Mountain rain
    Them old Hank tunes, the Memphis blues we used to sing
    He always loved Amarillo By Morning
    I shoulda taken that as a warning

    She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
    He's two steppin' 'round the room
    And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
    There's nothin' I can do
    It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
    A cowboy always finds a way to leave
    Drinkin' Jack all by myself
    He's choosin' Texas, I can tell

    When I'm eastbound and down and I can't help but cry
    'Cause I-40 gets lonelier with every mile
    I'll know that his mind wasn't ever gonna change
    'Cause his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State

    She's from Texas, I can tell by the way
    He's two steppin' 'round the room
    And judgin' by the smile that's written on his face
    There's nothin' I can do, nah, yeah
    It doesn't take a crystal ball to see
    A cowboy always finds a way to leave
    Drinkin' Jack all by myself
    He's choosing Texas, I can tell, no
    Drinkin' Jack all by myself
    He's choosin' Texas, I can tell

    Come on, baby
    Oh, yeah
    Just when I thought I got him to fall in love with Tennessee
