Behind the scenes: Origins of the Ignorance is Bliss song and music video by Mike Adams (Amethios)
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is Mike Adams here, known as Amethios, as the musical artist's name.
And this is commentary about my song called Ignorance is Bliss.
If you haven't seen the music video, or if you haven't heard the song, you can check it out at music.brighteon.com.
And we're also posting at amethios.com.
That's A-M-E-T-H-I-O-S dot com.
And you can download all the songs for free.
I think I've got something like 20 songs there now.
That I have created with the help of AI.
Now this song, Ignorance is Bliss, this is a really funny song.
It's obviously, you know, comedy.
This is the first song that I've ever written based off of a customer complaint email.
And I'll tell you about that here in a second.
But this is also one of the very first songs that I created with the help of Suno, the AI song creation engine.
And this song, I think, was one of the first three that I did with Suno.
And it's really before I had a good understanding of Suno.
And also, it was before they did a lot of upgrades to the Xtend functions and version 4.5 and things like that.
It was before that.
So I actually had a lot of trouble with this song on Suno.
And I ended up having to render sections, and then I downloaded all those sections, and I used a local Wave editor.
To put the song together locally, I had to adjust some levels, you know, adjusting gain and things like that.
But the end result is very good, and Suno is amazing, and it's made a lot of improvements since then to where Suno is my go-to engine for AI creation of, you know, anything.
Spoken poetry, classical music.
We're using it for music for our many documentaries that we're doing as well.
It's really great.
You can tell it what moods you want.
You can tell it what styles, like, you know, classical or anticipation mystery investigations with, you know, like piano or harp sounds, arpeggio harps, you know, whatever you want.
And it will create some really compelling music.
So I definitely recommend Suno, and I'm using it for lots of things.
What's really incredible about Suno is the vocals.
The vocals are just extraordinary.
Now, previously, the vocals, if you tried to go in and extend a song or redo a section, the vocal quality would change significantly.
Or a song might start out being sung by a voice that sounded country-western, and then by the end it would be like progressive alternative rock.
It's the same song, but the voice...
And that's actually very difficult to control from an AI perspective.
As you know, my company is also building an AI engine called ENOC.
It's a text generation engine.
You'll find that at brighteon.ai.
And so I'm very familiar with a lot of the difficulties of continuity when it comes to AI content generation.
But Suno has a lot of funding.
And they've got some really clever engineers.
They've been able to improve that issue quite a lot.
So it's even better now than it was before.
Anyway, getting to this song, Ignorance is Bliss.
So yeah, the idea of this came from a customer email.
There was a day that we had sent out an email newsletter about some bad news.
I don't even remember what it was.
You know, something about the stock market collapsing or the risk of nuclear war.
Russia or whatever.
And this one customer or subscriber replied and was very angry and said, you know, I don't want to hear anything negative in my life and I don't want any negative energy.
Take me off your list.
And that line actually made it into the song.
Take me off your list because ignorance is bliss.
So they didn't say ignorance is bliss, but that was the takeaway from their message.
I think they even gave examples like, I don't care if aliens attack, I don't want to hear about it, blah, blah, blah.
So I use that as the motivation for this song, which is, it really speaks to the philosophy of a lot of people out there, not you listening to this, but many people, who, they're not processing reality, they just want to be isolated from it.
They want to put on a blindfold, and there's a line in the song, it goes, I gotta wear a blindfold, can't you see?
Which, hopefully you appreciate the irony in that line.
People want to wear blindfolds.
They don't want to see anything negative because their neurology and their minds just can't handle it.
They don't want to be distracted by anything negative.
They just want to go with the flow, which is actually the worst way to lose everything, to lose all your money in the bank, you know, to...
So it's kind of like driving with the headlights off on your vehicle.
If you're driving down the highway at night, and if I say, hey, turn on your headlights, don't you want to see what's coming?
And if you say, no, I don't want anything negative, and there might be a deer in the road, I don't want anything negative.
To be lit up by the headlights.
I like to drive with the lights off.
You know, I would say that's crazy and you're probably going to get killed slamming into something like another vehicle or whatever's in the road.
But that's the way a lot of people like to lead their lives.
And that's, you know, the song is really kind of mocking, obviously, a lot of those people.
Now, there's a flip side to this, which I fully understand.
Which is that you also don't want to dwell on the negative side of things in your life.
Because consciousness does create reality.
And we do project reality onto the world around us.
And if you are just consumed by negative thoughts all day long, you're going to have a very negative experience and you're going to actually co-create a very negative world as well.
So it is important to bring some joy into your life.
It's important to have some fun.
Like I did with this song.
You know, this song is, hopefully it'll make you laugh.
It'll put a smile on your face.
It's funny.
And I do a lot of, you know, comedy type of commentary because the world is hilarious at times and people are hilarious.
So I understand the importance of staying positive, but we have to have a realistic balance in this.
If your goal is just stay positive, stay positive no matter what, and you don't want to see anything negative, You don't want to know anything about what's going on in the world.
You don't want to hear about inflation.
Then you're actually going to end up in a very bad situation because you're not navigating reality.
So have the balance, right?
Be aware of possible risks and possible threats to your finances, to your freedom, to your country, to your future, whatever.
But also don't let those consume you.
Make sure that you find Ways to experience joy and happiness and creativity in your life.
Which, I think, I do both of those things.
And you do, I'm sure, as well, if you're listening to this.
But some people just can't handle anything from the negative side at all.
So, ignorance is bliss!
And that's also a line out of The Matrix, of course, where the character Cipher?
What was his name?
He's eating the steak, right?
The juicy steak when he's in the Matrix.
And he's like, ignorance is bliss.
And he's just really enjoying the steak.
And he wants to be blue-pilled.
And he agreed to be blue-pilled and reinserted back into the Matrix.
There's a lot of people like that.
Lots of people like that.
And I even referenced that in a song about taking the blue pill, etc.
So that's what the song is all about.
Ignorance is bliss.
Actually derived from a user email.
And each one of us gets to decide what philosophy we're going to go with.
What do we resonate with?
And for me, it's a balance.
It's like, I want to be aware of the threats and the risks in the world, but I also want to enjoy life because life is short and things are really funny.
including us, you know, including...
It's kind of hilarious how sort of dumbed down humanity has become in so many ways.
So yeah, we can joke about that and we can laugh about it.
We can laugh about ourselves also, and I think that's healthy.
So there you go.
Enjoy the music.
