This paper explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) as a tool for creative interpretation in songwriting, rather than for direct generation. The research details a first-person case study where an LLM acted as a 'sounding board,' mediating the author's engagement with their own musical material. The study found that sustained calibration by the user fostered a resonant connection with the material, while a lack of calibration led to issues like sycophantic drift and overinterpretation, highlighting both the potential and risks of AI as a creative partner.
