Chess songs for streamers (DMCA-free and copyright-strike-free) and for personal listening

Hi All!
EVERY SONG TELLS A STORY! Looking for some nice AI-generated chess music and songs? You've come to the right place! In these two Youtube playlists, you will find original chess songs with vocals and musical arrangements. These playlists are being updated with new songs added every week!

I originally created these songs so that I could display their lyrics during my live streams on Twitch.tv. If you are a chess streamer, you are welcome to use this playlist for your streaming software. Each song is of the Creative Commons (Attribution) License. So they are copyright free and copyright-strike free. If you do use these songs for your stream or event, please attribute them to Frankie Kam. If you are using StreamLabs OBS, you may add a filter to the video window (to remove the black background):

Here are two chess chess playlists featuring 90 chess songs.

Best Hits Of Chess Is Life (Every Song Tells a Story)https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOSkGDDxD93OEMBKDhQNUwT7yTk_l_IzW [Songs #45 to #90]

Chess Is Life (every song tells a story)https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOSkGDDxD93P9c4nhLaDmD-dgGTcNdcG7 [Songs #01 to #44]

All songs are originals - created by using ChatGPT/Gemini Pro for the lyrics, then pumped into for the tunes, instruments and vocals. Lastly, I pump the mp3 into for the auto-captions. Each song represents an average time of 90 minutes of work. Here's the complete list of songs as of 28/12/2025. Each song's description contains a summary subject of the song, including the full lyrics. Each song subject is a fascinating story of human triumph and chess drama. I've tried my best to cover a wide spectrum of interesting chess people, both past and present. If the music is not to your liking, at least treat each lyric as a poem that distills facts of the subject into N number of verses and choruses. Lastly, if you have any idea of a chess subject worthy of song, please comment below! Thanks.
