CREATOR: S.O.S. for CHRIST, PRODUCER | AI MUSIC GENERATOR, CLIPCHAMP | AI VIDEO GENERATOR, AND LEONARDO | AI IMAGE GENERATORS

Purpose:
“The Mantel Clock” is an evocative narrative capturing the passage of time through the lens of personal memory and the symbolism of a stopped clock. Each verse paints intimate scenes of nostalgia, loss, and staying present within the slow drift of ordinary days. The lyrics intertwine small, poignant details—Janet’s fingerprints on the clock, family photographs, and the persistent angle of sunlight—with the weight of time standing still and moving on at once. The refrain and bridge emphasize routine and resilience, grounding the song’s bittersweet tone in everyday ritual and quiet strength. Enjoy!

Sound:
indie alt pop-fusion, warm synth layers, shimmering lead guitar, bouncy rhythm section, dreamy textures, modern lo-fi production, subtle vinyl crackle, reverb-soaked snares, more ethereal ambiance, airy synth pads, chill and wistful, mid-tempo.

Model:
FUZZ-2.0

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
There's a clock on Janet's mantel
Her mother brought from Baltimore
The hands stopped sometime in October
She doesn't wind it anymore

Verse 2:
Dust has settled on the glass face
Shows her fingerprints from years ago
When she used to set it every Sunday
Before the living room went still

Chorus:
And the light comes through the window
Same angle every afternoon
Landing on the same worn floorboards
In the same small living room

Verse 3:
There's a photograph beside it
Her and Michael, 1989
His hand is on her shoulder
They're standing by a car they used to drive

Verse 4:
She wipes the frame but not the clockface
Leaves that layer where it lies
Some kind of proof that she's still here
Watching one thing stay while everything else moves

Chorus:
And the light comes through the window
Same angle every afternoon
Landing on the same worn floorboards
In the same small living room

Bridge:
Tuesday looks like Monday
Next year looks like this
She pays the rent, she buys her groceries
Counts out change with careful fists

Verse 5:
There's a clock on Janet's mantel
Keeping no time at all
But marking it in other ways
In gray accumulating on the glass

Outro:
The hands stopped sometime in October
She doesn't ask them what they know

Pax et Bonum,
S.O.S. for CHRIST
