I was a little apprehensive with processing this lyric thru Suno. In my lyric notes, I have this song as written June 2022- May 2023 , yep it took me over 11 months to complete the lyric. I remember, on the lifting of the pandemic lockdowns, walking in the local park with my wife; I do not know where that first line came from but I thought it would make a great song. But I had difficulty getting f...

I originally wrote this as a blues number, One ot the early ones which I had use to experiment with Suno but never uploaded it. I revisited it and tried a number of other genres, choosing to post this Rock version with a tad of Latin influence. Original version, posted as a ukulele demo, written March 2023.

Not a lot to say here, ending of a broken relation ship. Trying to incorporate some new, more modern, genres, Here Latin but with soft rock base. The song written in October, 2002. Hope you like the song, thanks for the visit.

Another track in the series, experimenting with genres I am unsure of; by prompting for instrumental pieces. I was searching for a photo (I use pixabay a lot) and came across this image which immediately suggested to me the title "Space Walk" - before I saw the very small figure at the bottom. Space Walk then took on a brand new meaning.

Not a lot to say again, I thought this would be a difficult one because the lyrics did not have a standard structure; mixing longer and shorter lines. So I tried a jazz genre to start with and yes loved one of the two versions, I hade to extend to complete the song properly, but that is not really an issue. Of course, I tried another genre, and again picking a genre I rarely have problems with - c...

I just had to include this one.... Hearing a banjo makes me think of river valleys or B&W chases from the silent film era. The image represents Chaplin, but the title is associated with Laurel & Hardy. Here just for a laugh really. While I was scanning genres, this one just popped up. Enjoy....

Moving into the 1990's, and adding a touch of New Wave to the style. Again, I am not sure exactly what New Wave is - or sounds like; It is what Suno AI presented to me when so prompted. Merely an experiment in the use of Suno. But I hope it may strike a chord with you, if this was your era?

No, I had not heard of this Spanish genre (cuarteto) before choosing it to create this track; you learn something every day! A week or so ago, I decided to slow down producing songs, infavour of experimenting with more genres on Suno's list. And here I am admitting that I did not even know what some of them sounded like. OK, todate I have been experimenting with my old songs, most written decades...

I do not often write songs of a personal nature, but this was written a couple of years ago (2022) when I was diagnosed with a cancer. The surgeon was asking me to choose which treatment I would prefer. of course lots of reason for one treatment or another, Anyway, I wrote the song to keep me focused, and glad to say it all worked out and all OK now. Hope you like the song,

Letting my self go a little on this track. Originally a R&R song (oct '21). I tried a Grunge genre for the first trials on Suno, But the more I reiterated to get the timings right for the vocals (lots of tacit plus hard stops) the slower and more mellow, the versions turned out to be, Finally prompted for Metal. May come back to clean it up in the future, but it's getting there. Unfortunately I do...

A week or so ago, I decided to slow down producing songs, infavour of experimenting with more genres on Suno's list. And here I am admitting that I did not even know what some of them sounded like. OK, todate I have been experimenting with my old songs, most written decades ago. This meant fitting genres to the songs. Here I try to sing Suno some of my melodies, and to understand what the genre wi...

In some ways an unremarkable song, but one that I love. I especially love the spanish guitar on this track. I have just read a comment from a fellow songwriter on a Facebook group, "Only share you best songs". My only reply would be that I am constantly suprised by what other people think are my best songs - this would be one of them if it was up to me - but what do you think? Maybe you could let...

Broke my own rules and spliced an intro onto this song. For some reason, Sino had got it into its head that it did not need one. Pesevered until I had a decent track and a vcalised intro I could use and spliced them together in audacity. I also had some issues early on with the "pre-chorus", getting the AI to sing some of the "never's" and leave the required gaps to match my original rythmic ideas...

Moving forward to the 1980's, this is how the song "might" have been recorded by a heavy metal oufit. This of course is Suno's view of the genre rather than mine....

This song originally written in 2021, beginning to see how lean were the pickings in these years. To be fair my free time was being taken up by running a local amateur art group. Music was very much taking a back seat. I remember lots of ideas but few ever became a finished song. Here we have a song about the ending of a relationship, although is was the lines,"hard times happen, but good times tu...

Originally written in 2021 - best guess from indexing in my catalogue? One of those which existed on paper long before it was included in the catalogue. Originally, I envisaged a male singing this, but then most of the songs were written simply for my own enjoyment; which meant I would be doing the singing along with my trusty guitar/ukulele. But when I came to complete the prompt, I changed my mi...

A very difficult track to process with Suno. The Lyrics did not seem to work with any genres, the vocal would not sing them in the way I wanted them too. It even refused to copy the way I sang them on an audio upload. A quite slow song mixed a few syllables on some lines with more on other lines in the same verse. The AI just couldn't seem to work with the lyrics at all. Finally tried a "cool jazz...

This song has been uploaded before under a working title of "Baubles, Blue Skies And Elefctic Toys, a simple demo with a ukulele backing. This reflects the first line of the song - I have no idea what it refers to but kit rolled off the tongue quite nicely, in the context of the song. Written in2020, so getting right up to date. I have made this a "Cool Jazz" number which I really like. Hope you l...

This opens the last chapter of my song catalogue; songs written since the millenium. Not too many of these, as I was heavily into running an art club for a good few years; with little time for muisc or writing songs. I also wrote three or four poetry collections, usually quite short poems making up for the songwriting side of my world. The fourth was actually a collection of edited song lyrics. I...

The first (and I hope I get all tracks in the correct time order) is what the song may have sounded like in the 1950's. Of course my idea of the music of the era may not always agree with Suno's, BUT I WAS THERE! Also lots of things changedover a ten years period on the music scene. especially in the sixties and later. Note the prompts only changed to reflect the decade and the (or at least one) o...

Continuing this series, we see how R&R might be touched with a little Alternative Rock I love that intro.

Now.... I wondered about an instrumental tocomplete the track listing for, the current album. By coincidence, I came across a genre that I had never heard of, called Quiet Storm. So I googled it and found that it was thought to have been identified in the 1970's; perhaps jazzy, R&B and associated with romantic songs, just the thing to finish off the album. Now the chosen image may be thought to be...

Just one more track to sneak in today. written in the mid-seventies. Again one of my early favourites which was over-looked on the first run through of the note books. I really hope that you like it.

I haven't been doing a great deal of editing my old, original lyrics. It was a deliberate decision at the start of this AI project. I used Suno's AI assisted capabilities to bring a little life to these often forgotten lyrics, and I had over 250 songs to work through. OK I know there is an argument for quality rather than quantity, but these songs are a personal history and are a reflection of the...
