again nice Pianosound and percussion..I see what Suno can do..but I  have a little problem with the artificial basssound,John..Low frequencey but not defined (when I use my earphones)..a matter of taste?

I guess it's not easy ..maybe  you get better results with  a better music generator.".eleven labs "or Udio     have a greater variety of backing sounds,I heard!

Bonjour et bon w.e à tous,

Amour – Original emotional Piano

I played my poem (set to music), Avalon, to a friend who loved it. "Wow, that would make a great theme for an album", although similar things have been done before (Rick Wakeman anyone?) and then he found me some songs by Henry VIII (of the UK) covered by so many people/groups. Well, I loved the challenge.
This is a taster of what may come, butthey may not all be classically inclined. In fact I covered this new song (lyrics written today 30th Jan 2025) in several ways from this, classical, to cinematic and alternative rock. I think I am going to enjoy this but can't put a definitive finish date on the projects as current projects must come first.
I do love this and is the first time I have tried to use choral themed styling, etc; must try again soon.

Arthur and The Sword - Lyrics

On that fateful summer day
Fate was about to play
A trick on powerful men of war.
In a kingdom so divided
A legend had provided
A magical way to chose the greatest King OF ALL

In days of old, 
when knights were bold,
A boy of humble birth, 
With heart so pure, 
and spirit sure, 
Would prove his royal worth.

The sword of might, 
Set in stone so tight, 
Awaited one so true, 
With strength and grace, 
he'd find his place, 

And destiny pursue.
Young Arthur came, 
with no acclaim, 
Yet courage filled his soul, 
He grasped the hilt, 
with iron will, 

And claimed his rightful goal.
The sword released, 
the whispers ceased, 
A king was born that day, 
With Excalibur, 
he'd lead for sure, 
And light the righteous way

Arthur and the sword

Another of my favourite songs, I wrote this one in 1990 and it has a very similar structure to "Images" which I have recently posted. Not a lot to say about this song, except. I am unlike many singer-songwriters in that I do not write for personal experience. They are usually second hand feelings/emotions kicked off by a word or phrase which I have read or heard, that triggers the writing process for me.

Hope you like this song, and thank you for visiting.

Still I See You

"Here in California"
Original song by Kate Wolf

Painting by Linda Straub

Lyrics

When I was young my mama told me
She said child take your time
Don't fall in love too quickly
Before you know your mind
She held me 'round the shoulders
In a voice so soft and kind
She said love can make you happy
Love can rob you blind

Here in California, fruit hangs heavy on the vines
And there's no gold, I thought I'd warn you
And the hills turn brown in the summertime

Well I will learn to love you
But I can't say when
This morning we were strangers
And tonight we're only friends
But I'll take my time to know you
I'll take my time to see
There's nothing that I won't show you
If you take your time with me

Here in California, fruit hangs heavy on the vines
And there's no gold, I thought I'd warn you
And the hills turn brown in the summertime

It's an old familiar story
An old familiar rhyme
To everything, there is a season
To every purpose, there's a time
A time to love and come together
A time when love longs for an end
A time for questions we can't answer
But we ask them just the same

Here in California, fruit hangs heavy on the vines
And there's no gold, I thought I'd warn you
And the hills turn brown in the summertime

There's no gold, I thought I'd warn you
And the hills turn brown in the summertime



Here in California (Cover)

An experiment. I found a genre called meditation on Suno, and wondered if I could use it to present a poem with an orcestral backing. Would it be able to present the poem by speaking rather than singing. Well it did not work this time (I will be trying again) but I did enjoy the result.

A New Day

"Make the World Go Away"
Written By Hank Cochran
and Originally Recorded by Ray Price

Make the World Go Away (Cover)

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 will sound like. S that It may be possible to write for the genre, hopefully getting a better track/song from doing things this way around. Stepping out of my comfort zone so to speak.

Hope you like some of the results from this "research" project.

Echoes of the High Lands

Cinematic orchestral, melancholic piano, dramatic strings, dark ambience

No Light, No Mercy

A song about the eighties. Back when I was young and time was not something you thought about. Leg warmers, ripped jeans, arcades, cassette tapes and the coolest decade for new sounds and exciting music. Everything was new and exciting and we were invincible. This was also the decade where I met my dear wife who I love just as much today as I did then. A tribute to a fantastic decade

GOOD TIMES

All My AI assisted songs are free to download.

I have been writing songs since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I am more than happy with the wide range of songs I have written over the years. But my musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Souncloud are of me singing  and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me.

I am still writing and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.
