Rhythm Sessions (Deluxe Edition)

During these times of pain
And the Autumn rain
What I want so much
Is your loving touch
You calm my nerves
You reach my soul
When I think I’ve had too much
Is when you hold
Me in your arms
It’s as if your magic charms
Heal deep within my being
At least that’s the feeling
I get every time you’re close
And when you’re away
That’s what I miss the most
During these times of pain
I remember the days
When things were fine
We could do what we want
And we had all of the time
In the world
Do you recall I fed the squirrels
And you fed the birds
We loved waking up early
And they were what we heard
The first thing
We stayed in bed
Simply being
With nothing important to do
What a life we led
Yeah, just me and you
Just me and you

Life We Led

I have been reviewing some notes I made on the work I have done with Suno over the last 18 months or so. I happened to look at one of my Suno "personas", a duo I called "Just-in-Love", and could not find the original Suno file for this song. Panicking, I decided to try and improve on it by using V5 (the original was with V3.5) and of course my prompting skills have improved. Here is the result, I do hope you like it.

For Lee Ritenour, there aren’t many ‘firsts’ left to achieve. During his dazzling five-decade career, the fabled LA guitarist has taken his music to the outer limits, alighting on every genre and occupying every position in the rock ‘n’ roll firmament. He’s been an enfant terrible of ’70s fusion, a crossover star of the ’80s pop chart, an honorary exponent of Brazilian jazz, and the fingers behind ’90s supergroup, Fourplay. Ritenour’s accolades include: 45 albums,16 Grammy nominations, Alumnus of the year at USC, Los Angeles’ Jazz Society Honoree (2019), plus thousands of sessions with legends such as Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd, B.B. King, Tony Bennett, among others.
