Once Was by John AI Smith
AI-generated music
“Once Was” marks the end of my 70s-inspired run — a personal, heartfelt goodbye to a sound that shaped so much of what music means to me.
Over the past days, I’ve shared songs that echo vinyl grooves, analog warmth, and the raw emotion of that era.
This one is slower. Simpler. A quiet close to that chapter.
The next steps take us forward — into more modern ground and deeper shades of R&B.
Thanks for being part of this journey.
