Don't be offended by my poor English. My French is almost worst.

Is it 4.5, or 5?

I feel you wrote the text, because it make too much sense, and with details too precise to be ai generated, and the privacy and drone lines, could only come from a preachy human.

I can see myself listening to it, in another totally surprising style like heavy metal

This french rapper made a song of question:

I found the concept great, and made a love poem with the same gimmick:

  Éos aux doigts de rose :

  Éos, réponds-moi : l’aube efface les tourments ?

Pourquoi tes fins sanglots, chaque matin, se lèvent ?

Est-ce que tu chantes là mes éplorements ?

Quand ton char s’enfuit, qui assure la relève ?

Caches-tu ainsi un visage désiré ?

Ou bien ton souffle ardent, qui inonde le ciel,

N’est-il donc qu’un fragment perdu dans l’empyrée ?

Es-tu la déesse des actes véniels ?

  Pourquoi, m'arraches-tu ma belle Éléonore ?

Puis-je maudire tes lumières embrasées? ?

Entends-tu les éclats de son départ sonore ?

Sa folle passion s’est-elle apprivoisée ?

M’a-t-elle aimée la nuit, détestée à l’aurore ?

Comment peut-on vivre encore sans ses baisers ?

-

Which according to GPT translate like this.. far from a pure translation, but i'm not mad:

Eos, rosy-fingered:

  Eos, answer me: does dawn efface all torment?

Why do your muffled sobs each morning rise?

Is it my grief you sing in sad lament?

And who takes up the torch when your chariot flies?

Do you thus veil a face my soul desires?

Or is your breath of flame, that floods the skies,

No more than a lost shard of heaven’s fires?

Are you but goddess of trifling ties?

  Why steal from me my radiant Eleonore?

Must I then loathe your tender, soothing light?

Do you not hear the thunder of her parting roar?

Has her mad passion at last grown tame tonight?

Did she love me in darkness, hate me at dawn once more?

How can one live bereft of her kisses’ delight?

If you go away by Terry Jacks

It is inspired by "Ne me quitte pas" (dont left me) by Jacques Brel (one of the top 3 french lyricist , the other two being Georges Brassens, and Leo Ferré) .

This song is one of his most iconic song but mostly considered a bad one (he wrote it in a night after a break up.. and it is overly dramatic ).

Terry Jacks make a so much better version (the lyrics and ton are more subdued)

And better even than the Neil Young version that preceded it (by speeding it)

I wish Jacks kept more of the lyrics from the Neil version, because the song need to last longer.

Here is a fun paper https://arxiv.org/html/2507.12213v2 (pdf: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.12213) that test the idea that this is a malevolent aircraft, according to the "dark forest" solution of Fermi paradox
