Hey everyone, this is Dan Singjoy, I hope you’re doing well and enjoying your day!
This page includes many drafts and notes about the Eden song that I’m creating.
I hope you’ll enjoy listening, I hope this will inspire musicians to make great songs about Eden, and I hope it will inspire creators of all kinds to make amazing creations about Eden and fractals and all kinds of great content!
First, in this recording, I’ll share:
- a brief introduction to give you context about the song
- the inspiration and short story about sharing the songwriting process in this way
- Some guidance and curated links to help you navigate the page, enjoy the song, make the best experiences possible with this Eden song
So, first: There’s a huge amount of content on this page, so please feel free to skim or skip as you see fit. Of course!
I shared a music video featuring this song a couple weeks ago, which you can watch below. The music video only featured about a minute of the song, and my friend Vlad asked me if I had a longer version, to which I replied that “There are longer versions and I could share some drafts if you’d like, but the song is still a work in progress and I don’t have a great finished version yet.”
Vlad requested that i share the drafts, which i very much appreciate and was super inspirational for the Eden song & songwriting process as a whole. At this point I’d like to say sorry to Vlad for the long delay, it’s been about a week since then and I wanted to respond much sooner, but there are so many exciting drafts and it took me a while to figure out the best way to share them.
I took some time to figure out the best way to share it and ultimately decided to share basically all the drafts & notes for the song along with this intro to provide the most interesting, helpful, and rich experience with the most great options for Vlad and everyone listening.
I figured that its most helpful to include everything to enable anyone to dive into the song as deep as you want and also curate some of the best content here at the top of the page if you want to just quickly listen a fuller version of the song.
So as I said earlier, there’s a huge amount of content here. On this page you can:
- listen to many hours of recordings of this Eden Song, as well as some other songs that are occasionally into the recordings.
- Hear audio notes talking about the ideas for lyrics and song development
- See all the written notes, including lyrics and plans for the future
Note that many of notes also have directives, like ‘listen to this’ or ‘write this’
- these are originally intended as notes/instructions for myself to finish writing the song (and may be helpful as a guide for anyone interested in collaborating)
- so of course feel free to ignore them as you see fit
And of course, please feel free to listen to however much you want and skip whatever you want throughout the entire note
I love the potential of sharing all these notes and am thrilled about sharing the whole songwriting process with you all...
but one of the risks with sharing the whole songwriting process is sharing to much at once & overloading people with a bunch of content that’s not as well refined or exciting as the final version fo the song
The full songwriting process has a time & a place and many people just want to hear the song without all the behind the scenes work, so i want to make it easy to listen to the best recordings while also providing the options to dive deeper
I’m looking forward to sharing a much more refined version of the full song soon
And in the meantime- i curated a few of the best drafts here at the top of the page
This might seem like a lot of work for just some song drafts and maybe i went way overboard by putting this together when Vlad simply asked me to share a draft, but:
- like I said there’s a huge amount of exciting content & experiences throughout all of these notes that I’d love to share
- It didn’t feel right to share just one draft when there were many other drafts that were great in different ways
- I’ve been thinking about expanding the collaborative process of songwriting in this way for a long time
- With Eden Creators and ƒractally, I believe that we can & will innovate new songwriting processes to create so much more amazing songs than ever before
- This is also true for all collaborative creative processes as a whole, like filmmaking, visual art, writing, etc
- There are so many amazing musicians that have dozens or hundreds of wonderful songs in progress that the world never hears
- I have so many songs like this with hundreds of notes and recordings that are in draft stages
- With eden creators and fractally, we can collaborate with a more ‘open source’ ethos of sharing notes and curating well
- And aligning incentives and creating together
- So anyone please feel free to take this song in whatever direction you feel inspired, if you feel inspired to do so
- of course there’s also beauty and excellence in sharing the full version when ready and looking forward to it, but this songwrting process...
here are the featured drafts so far....
of course I completely understand if you want to just listen to just one recording quickly and I don’t want to overwhelm you all this extra content, so of course feel free to listen to however much you want and skip whatever you want
And of course, please feel free to skim or skip any of this a
I’m excited about this as part of the songwriting process
but there are so many exciting drafts and it took me a while to figure out the best way to share them with you. Ultimately, I decided to share basically all the drafts & notes for the song along with an introductory message to help curate the listening experience.
There’s a huge amount of content on this page, so of course please feel free to skim or skip as you see fit. I figured that it might be most helpful to include everything in case you or anyone else wants to dive deeper into the song and there’s also a introductory audio message & a few of the best drafts at the top of the page if you want to just quickly listen a fuller version of the song.
Actually maybe just copy all the recordings and all the notes in website That’s probably much more interesting and valuable for Vlad and me and also for the future workflow of sharing music drafts.
So, vlad, thank you so much for asking, and sorry for the delay!
Hope you enjoy! Hope everyone enjoys!
Feel free to reach out with any questions or comments.
Now that the process has been established for sharing songs, I will be able to share drafts of songs much faster in the future.
Hey vlad and everyone, sorry for the delay. Wasn’t sure how to share it and took some time to consider. These are most of the notes and recordings for this song. Feel free to check out however much you want and of course no need to listen to all. Recordings from date and date are probably best to listen to. Theres also some mixed in lyrics and other songs and etc, and
Also maybe provide the written version below the audio?
I’m not sure how interesting these will be for you in these early stages
I think it can be helpful to use this song sharing in the process in the future...

Explain music video only includes about a minute of the song and looking forward to sharing the full song. My friend Vlad asked me for the full recording and I said ___ copy paste the telegram
LISTEN - WHICH AUDIO IS MESSED UP OF THESE TOP 2? BOTH. I know at least one was messed up and i need to fix it.
WAV file- Exported via logic>export>export region as audio file- 32.6mb
ACC file - Exported via Logic>share>song to music> then open song in finder via music - 6.1mb - TEST is this ACCaudio sound worse than the WAV audio above?
March 28, 2022: Recording in Ableton with better quality- the last 1:15 is what was used for the eden music video and fractally presentation video- sounds cool without the extra reverb too…
April 3, 2022: This was the first recording where i attempted adding layers and audio effects in Ableton. There is so much potential here. Some of the vocal harmonies and guitar riffs are really fun and beautiful, though some parts of messy and it needs work
The high note ‘eden’ also sounds really cool here

June 6
Eden we’re going to build it
Listen
Consider maybe there should be a part with Sun blind by the fleet foxes, there is the line swinging hi Anna Lee in Eden and so forth and the melody works well with the Eden song I think and that lion song is really beautiful and really goes with the time and inspiration so I think you’ll be cool kind of like Harry Nielsen included a bunch of Beatles songs to have a part of the Eden song which is like this
G. E (In) Eden
(In) Eden
C. A (In) Eden
(In) Eden
G. E Welcome to Eden
What you want or needing?
We’re going to make it
Make it all in Eden
F. D We’re building what we want
We’re making it how we need
G. E (In) Eden
(In) Eden
(In) Eden
You
C. (A) You could help build it (A or C) (A or C) Come and help build it with us
We’ll make the blue sky
Growing with trees forever
Grow our garden forever
Garden forever
And green grass feel like heaven summer
You could live in it A with open D string You live in it with us
G. E (In) Eden
(In) Eden
F. D
We’ll build the grass green
We need to build it
We need to build to be free
G. E (In) Eden
(In) Eden
We need more builders
Will you help build to be free?
“We’re” also works double meaning like ‘where. Eden is where building what we want where we’re building what we want.
Welcome to Eden
What you want or needing?
We’re going to make it
Make it all in Eden
(Where)
People coordinating
Eden to make our place great

In Eden you will grow

In eden light will show
In Eden time will show

That’s a good ending line, in place of “in the water” or “in our eden”. Puts emphasis on building Eden.

Let’s build an Eden
[[Eden Coopetitions]]
[[Eden Coopetition to write Eden song and produce a music video(s)]]
Perhaps with [[Consortium Coopetition]] to reward many great music videos and variations and covers and different songs of Eden
Can include both the lyrics , the pictures, the notes here in this bear note, and the audio i recorded of songwriting process and explaining ideas about it
also could collaborate it with a [[Hit Record Coopetition]]
Let’s build an Eden
Down in our Eden
Of earthly delights
Paradise
We’re building Eden
Come join if you like
Let’s build an Eden
And make what we want
And do what we want
Make life what we want
The best for everyone
The best for everyone
We have the tools and ideas
To create the eden
Now we need to spread the word, help people understand how we can use these tools and ideas to create edens, both in their hugely exciting and perhaps limitless practical use as coordination and funding and icnentivization and collaboration tools, and also in the broader sense of a world where fix all the problems and make great upgrades and create awesome world in so many ways and we we make the best experiences possible
May 30 - before the melody
Down in our Eden
weird picture that came up when i first searched for Eden image... i looked at this for a while and it’s quite interesting, though i don’t think it it really fits in with the eden song & vibe very much at this point...q
