This songwriter wrote FIVE SONGS in FIVE DAYS with Poppy.
Not through AI generation. Through a system built for his brain.
The Power of Personal Process
When Mark first showed me his Poppy board, I saw something fascinating.
A veteran who survived a life-changing submarine accident, he's now creating music that transforms PTSD experiences into healing.
Not just for himself, but for other veterans too.
At the VA's request, he's crafting “an album that charts the endless journey from wretchedness to enlightenment,” helping others find their voice along the way.
He'd connected philosophy books, mindfulness texts, and years of scattered song verses into a living creative system:
"What's intriguing is when I brought in that new book and asked how it fits into my outline…now Poppy ensures I don't miss any themes across songs."
This wasn't about AI writing lyrics.
It was about weaving meaning across every piece, from monk-level insights to musical notes.
Here's the process Mark used to start this transformation:
The Idea Expander

Athena was awesome, super easy to talk to, explained everything well, and really grasped where I was at, answered my questions, and even made great tailor made suggestions and examples suited to what I would/could be using poppy for. She was excellent and very much appreciated. I'm more excited than ever. Pretty stellar stuff guys. Thank you, and thanks Athena!

Just super helpful giving me the run down and showed a keen interest in my own business and how poppy would be relevant to it.
