AI music video: MacArthur Park by Richard Harris

This music video for "MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris was created by feeding each line of the song into the Midjourney AI image generator. I then assembled the results into the video. The instrumental portions were created by using generally descriptive prompts of the song.

This version sung by Richard Harris is the best.

Jimmy Webb was only 22 when he composed all the songs in that A Tramp Shining album, made the arrangements and supervised the instruments recording in L.A. before sending the tapes to Richard Harris, who was in the U.K., to provide his vocals. That's comparable to Orson Welles creating his Citizen Kane masterpiece at age 25. Incredible !!!

A young kid when this was a hit on the radio back in the day. AM only, no FM yet.lol

One of the best arrangements and songs of all-time.

Jimmy Webb wrote this song about a woman he was in love with, and would take her to MacArthur Park in L.A.

This has been probably my most favorite version of McArthur's Park, and the original version as well as far as I know. Actors were always mad that they could not make a hit song while musicians could make hit movies. Richard Harris broke that mold with this song. The other version I like is by Donna Summer, I remember it being released while I was in High School. Recently I found out that Jimmy Webb the songs writer wrote about things he had seen while with his girlfriend in McArthur's Park, yes, it is a real place located in Los Angeles, California.

Jimmy Webb also wrote another musical masterpiece, ‘Wichita Lineman’. His songs have such a timeless quality and appeal that move the soul to depths that very few songwriters can reach.

The pictures were a lot of fun to see even if they didn't match the "theme" of the song. Took a lot of work and creativity. Thanks so much for doing this! 😆
