A cover of "ONE LAST TIME" . To exactly the same prompt, of a song on my playlist/album, "The End Of The Beginning". Just an experiment to hear the sound quality from this updated version of Suno, V5.

Wow Suno v5 just dropped onto my laptop. Wrote a very quick lyric - just to try it out, and think I love it (ps still beta & for paying customers I guess). A theme I have considered before but put the idea to one side, I am great at procrastinating but not to the point in the song. Tho' I think I do know some people who have this type of problem.

A second new song, in the style of 1960's pop. As I mentioned on my last upload to Soundcloud, I wanted to use this prompt again - and expect to use it for a number of songs in the future.

This track was originally set up to use some "new" Suno meta-tags I had been playing around with (although this time I was using a lyric of my own). Four songs later, I was really happy with the lyrics, But wanted to make just a "small", further change in style. I prompted for a cover in the style of a UK pop group of the sixties - my formative era. I love it, so reminiscent of the music I grew up...

I normally do write all my own songs. I wanted to experiment with some Suno meta-tags without using my ownlyrics expecting to trash the songs after the experiments, so I took a quick way. But after hearing the way they were turning out I did some necessary editing and decided to post this. I am moving to loading all my songs to Suno so that the lyrics and melodies are all my own, sometimes acapell...

I was in two minds whether to upload this track, I was experimenting with some meta tags and decided to (whisper it) get a lyric from Suno to avoid wasting time. Well I did not expect to be uploading the resulting song and so simply took it as it was generated. But after a few little experimental iterations, I was finding I was liking it, so made a few very minor and continued to bring the song to...

I recently came across a song that inspired me to try and include a circus theme, this is that song. I have not used the other song as a reference, but I am grateful for the idea. It has the vibes of alternative rock genre, but includes references to a circus in the instrumentation and instrumental sections. The lyrics also refer to a clown, and face paint, funny hat and rotating bow ties, etc. Ho...

This is the third part of a trilogy of songs, "We'll Meet Again", subtitled, "Anniversary". All three songs are different styles, but tell a story of two people who meet whilst on a journey, find they are compatible and arrange to meet again. A story of the triumph of love over loneliness. I have (for the first time ever for me tried to write it as a series of conversations in their own head, or b...

“A whimsical journey through mirrors, monarchs, and maritime mischief—Make Believe World invites you to step outside reality and into imagination.” Yes, another cover of an early song, recorded by myself singing and playing. So much more satisfying hearing my songs produced with not only the lyrics by the original melodies. Hope you like it as much as I do.

This is a remix of a track recorded by John Dyhouse, vocal plus solo uke. The song originally written in 1922, has been recorded by numerous artists over the years, my favourite is by Joe Brown, A song he performed at the memorial concert for George Harrison, which closed the concert. Joe was a close friend of George and both loved the ukulele before it's rise in favour over the past few years. Jo...

This is closely connected to the last upload, It was an album of music created with a sequencer using real instrumental samples. It was an experiment with my sons software (Acid- Soundforge, I think, but no details of version, etc) but I did not get on with selecting samples and putting each note onto a piano roll. I used many short sections, copied with different instruments and pitch, etc. An co...

My eldest son grew up playing keyboards, to cut a long story short, I used to borrow his keyboards at times and using the auto rhythms/bass used to knock out a tune with one finger. Well, I did play guitar so I suppose I did use more fingers but always one after the other. I quite enjoyed the sessions and recorded the outcomes on reel to reel tape or later on cassettes. I have posted a playlist/al...

This is yet another cover, one which I would never have thought about doing under normal circumstances. However a colleague working on his own home studio (Who has worked on some of my songs before, asked if I could suggest one of my songs he could use to produce an 80's style electronic pop track. He has new equipment and is developing new skills and needs one or more songs to work on which he wi...

I'll never let you go (Mastered with Aurora at 33pct) (Remix) -1b by John Dyhouse

Here is part two of the recent song, "We'll Meet Again". the first meeting after their coming together by accident whilst travelling.

Another cover of one of my old songs. Using the demo for this means that the lyrics, melody, and any associated riffs, etc are captured by Suno. This does not necessarily create a better track - but it sounds more like the song I wrote. In this case, I actually think that the AI came up with a better melody when presented with just the lyric. Maybe you might even find the other Suno offering her o...

Couldn't resist doing another cover of my own ukulele demo of this song.

I am trying hard to come up with songs that are, for me, different. In this song two people meet, recognising a common feeling of loneliness, they go for a coffee and chat about their respective issues. Afterwards they agree to mee t again - cue for a follow up song - or two. I have tried to work with an unexpected structure, short verses and longer choruses. AND staying away from cliche rhymes by...

Not autobiographical. I found a list of themes for song writers on the internet; I was at a loose end. And this is one theme which I had utilised previously but thought I could tackle again in a different way. Sometimes a good idea to leave the comfort zone for a little R&R. Hope you like it.

A Remix of a cover, of a demo. With me so far? The original demo was a solo effort by myself, providing the lyrics, the music, and a first stab at the riffs, etc. So the final production owes a lot to my original thoughts and ideas. Suno has improved on all three areas and has added full instrumentation and provided production to create a workable and original recording. BUT it is much closer to m...

A cover/remix of an old demo I recorded with just me and my ukulele. Always loved this song but could not get that backing when I tried using Suno before. Yes... that "status Quo" style vamp and walking bass was covered by my solo uke. Anyway with the new v4.5 I can now use my" bare bones" demos to up date my songs. Music and lyrics of this song are all my own work. Hope you like it.

I had a pack of cards for a pre sent today, actually a pack of cards with 100 inspiring quotes. Well, one of the quotes certainly inspired my muse. The particular quote was about children seeing magic because they look for it. About an hour, maybe less, later. I had completed a first draft. ran it thru Suno and changed a couple of lines and homed in on a 1960's pop song with a "wall of Sound" effe...

WARNING...This track is seven and a half minutes long. But the "guitar" solo which ends the song is a must hear. Suno has really made this track something special for me. I wrote this song with a uke on my lap, and developed the 8-bar chord sequence which constantly repeats thru' the song. This goes a long way with the lyrics to defining the song. It starts slowly and quietly, but soon continues w...

This is another of a short series of covers of myself singing, ( with solo ukulele), some of my all-time favourite songs. This song was written in the early 60's by Canadian (of Cree Indian decent), Buffy St Marie. My apologies, seems I was not singing clearly enough for the AI to capture the lyrics, several "typos" exist, and I need to correct and remix.
