Songs by
Anna Prinz

Dr Anna Elisabeth Prinz promotes artists and writes lyrics for songs. Some of the songs were developed together with musicians she promotes and recorded in traditional music studios, which is mentioned next to the demo recordings below.

To experiment with recent innovations in music production she compares traditional production and AI-supported production in demos of the same song, or produces songs for friends.

Dr Prinz is promoting live performances only of musicians she knows well from previous events during her “art circle residence” activities and her diplomatic career as German Ambassador to Sweden, Australia, Slovenia, and Deputy Ambassador to Japan (see: www.artcircleresidence.net and www.acr-europe.net). She holds a Masters Degree from Harvard University, USA and a Ph.D. from Göttingen University.

Lyrics

Lady voice whispers: “Hi Robot!”

Robot: I'm your robot, programmed for you you can ask me and I will do I'll be your lover, programmed for you

Lady (whisper): you look beautiful!

You're my robot? programmed for me? I can ask you? …and you will do? will stay with me for eternity?

Chorus: I'm your robot, robot, robot, I'm your robot, I am your man!

Lady: You're my robot, robot, robot, You're my robot, robot, robot, You're my robot, but you're not my man!

Robot: Oh trust me my lady fair, together we'll make a perfect pair in techno dance we'll sway embracing love, come what may

Lady: So trust me my robot fair, together we'll never be pair, you are made from steel and wire, and you are not what I desire!

Chorus: I'm your robot, robot, robot, I'm your robot, I'm your man!

You're my robot, robot, robot, You're my robot, but you're not my man!

Turn Around

2023 – · Words by Anna Prinz · Music by Matjaž Ferenc

A call to look back before moving on. Three productions explore the same lyric from classical arrangement to AI-assisted mixing.

Lyrics

Verse 1 Turn around and see what's behind you Turn around and see what lays ahead Turn around, enjoy how you are moving

Chorus: Keep walking in the sunshine Swimming in the sea hugging all the loved ones caring endlessly Keep biking on the coast line Thinking just of me We're having fun together Turn around to me!

Verse 2 Turn around and help those who need you Turn around two is more than one Turn around and see your friend behind you Turn around and fill your life with fun.

Chorus: Keep walking in the sunshine swimming in the sea hugging all the loved ones caring endlessly! Keep walking through the vineyards, and the sun will shine, dancing in the sunset feeling free and fine!

Chorus intermediate (staccato): Walking… vineyard… sunshine… biking… coastline… swimming you and me … fun time… “This is what it's all about!”

Ending out… Keep walking, keep keep walking. Keep walking, keep keep walking…

I Had a Dream

2026 · Words by Anna Prinz · Produced with SUNO.AI

A songtext written by Anna Prinz, produced with SUNO.AI as an example of how her lyrics come to life with AI-assisted production. More songs written by her are available but not yet published.

Lyrics

I had a dream of someone close by my side holding my hand resting sound and safe.

I had a dream of someone understanding me without words smiling at me walking along.

I had a dream of someone singing for me piano tunes just for me no worries between.

I had a dream belonging somewhere no fighting, no powergames just be there for sure.

I had a dream of someone standing back to back fighting the worlds foes no harm to come.

I had a dream exploring the world and sharing the beauty same story shared without words.

I had a dream of harmony while searching for the truth, to live with contradictions not using them as weapons.

I had a dream to live with you.

2026 · Words by Anna Prinz · Music by Matjaz Ferenc · Produced with support of AI

A playful song about lazy evenings on the sofa — words by Anna Prinz, music by Matjaz Ferenc, produced with the support of AI.

Lyrics

I won't go to the city tonight I will stay at home, it's fine I don't care, if you party all night This evening is no ones but mine.

Tonight I am a couch potato....

My week was heavy it feels good at home put on pyjamas ours ago had a drink, feel happy alone but join me here, if you feel so.

Tonight I am a couch potato! I'll do some sports on the television, I'll finish all yesterday's cake, again I'll end up sleeping late!

But kiss me, when you come back home! snoring on our couch I'll be gone be a potaoe and join me here but make sure you leave TV on!

So tonight I am a couch potato!

Ocean Dumping

2026 · Words by Anna Prinz · Produced with support of AI (SUNO.AI)

“Ocean love” — a plea for the one ocean that feeds us all, and a protest against what we dump into it. Words by Anna Prinz, produced with the support of SUNO.AI in a rock version.

Lyrics

one ocean - deep and unknown one ocean - with secrets below one ocean - treasure of the earth one ocean - feeding us all!

(refrain:) we dump plastic, we dump waste, we dump weapons, we dump life...

one ocean - with so many names one ocean - cooling us down one ocean - connects and divides one ocean - seafarers dream one ocean - where dangers are seen.

(refrain:) we dump plastic, we dump waste, we dump weapons, we dump life!

one ocean - heated by sun one ocean - treasure and fun one ocean - cares for us all, let's care for you! Let's care for you! Let's care for you!
