A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING 
(c) 2025 Cooper/Jones

There’s a first time for everything 
Were the last words he spoke 
Who knows what tomorrow might bring 
When the darkness sheds it’s cloak
I doubt it will bring solace I doubt it will bring joy 
A woman now but I was still
His little girl holdin’ her toy 

There’s a first time for everything 
He laughed as he taught me to swim  
Don’t be nervous, just jump right in
Were the right words from him  
Grab life right by the throat  
And don’t ever let it go  
I always heeded his advice  
And last night I told him so 

There’s a first time for everything 
He whispered as he held my son 
His features slowly softening 
As proud as anyone
He was grateful for each new day  
He believed he’d been blessed 
He worked hard and he played hard  
And now he’s earned his rest 

Late into the evening
Surrounded by his loving folk 
There’s a first time for everything
Were the last words he spoke 

There's A First Time For Everything

ROM-COMS AND OTHER LIES
2025 Cooper Jones


VERSE  
He’s got picture-book good looks 
A Michelin star restaurant cook 
Symmetrical and in proportion, always taller never shorter 
Compliments her, knows her worth, is ready to commit to her 
And never disappoints her 
If he does it’s in the name of love

CHORUS
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

VERSE 
He’s handsome, manly, sensitive 
Somehow knows her love language 
Can land a punch like the best of ‘em
But outshines all the rest of ‘em
Somehow single or mismatched 
Either way one heck of a catch
Knows how to dress, no wayward stains 
He’s Mr Neat, rugged untamed 

CHORUS  
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

BIRDGE  
Some ladies get lucky, some ladies get sad, when their hubby don’t fit the perfect man
Some ladies are wise some ladies will know
There ain’t no garden variety men just the type that real life grows…

VERSE 
He’d never pick a fight be heartless 
Always take the blame regardless  
Custom made only for you to win your heart, propose to you
He’s a dab-hand at the dishes and fulfills all your wishes 
Of course he’d be good in bed but never pester or expect

CHORUS 
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

VERSE 
You would not imagine he’d leave socks upon the floor
Or leave his empties everywhere, never shirk a chore 
He would have telepathy, be  trained in massage therapy
A natural born leader but still earnin’ good money 

CHORUS  
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact



Rom-Coms and Other Lies

A laid back country song from Circle80, featuring Brett Steele (Suno persona specialising in this genre). A song I worked on for some time, in the process moving more versions and iterations to the trash can than |I have for a long time. But leaving it for a while and then taking advice from an AI source, on idioms - yep - and shock, horror, I always use a rhyming dictionary and a thesaurus too.

Anyway, being serious, I have gotten to love this particular song and I hope that you can feel the same. Again you may notice that I am now mentioning Suno on all the cover images. I have never hidden the fact that When I use Suno, I always mention the fact. So I now use the Circle80 monika as the artist; and of course IS John Dyhouse with Suno. And often, when appropriate recognise the persona used. Suno defines a persona as a recognisable voice and the prompt used for genre and style, etc. It simply helps me to classify the songs where I have used this Suno feature.

Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Consider promo (promotion) track from the ole Rainforest Cowboy!  Sometimes its hard to be heard and small injustices go noticed.  I like to create songs - real stories to a beat - to help put a light on what matters in life - connections, hope, working together.  To this end I often write about food banks, community centers, homelessness, despair and much more.  If you have a story to share, personal experiences or just ideas please let me know.  It can be about where you live, your city, your nation, happy or sad - its your story, I just add the beat.

When You Need a Song Written!, Cowboy Can!!

My story, a bit about the story-teller, the song-writer.  My flight out had been cancelled March 16, 2020 due to lock-downs and I was stuck in the City of Toronto.  This is my story of being stuck in Canada during the lock-downs.  The story of the cowboy whom does live in the rain forest of the Philippines, stuck in th bustling City of Toronto, in Canada.

Rainforest Cowboy in Toronto

Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Georgiana has been performing and making music since the age of 5. She grew up in an American Army family, moving house and countries throughout her childhood and is a dual national USA/UK.

So you want to know more about the mysterious (and handsome if I do say so myself) Rainforest Cowboy?, eh,

In school I majored in music for four years playing in an orchestra and a band.  Specifically, I played a western brass instrument called a "Tuba" - it's a bass instrument and like drums carries the beat for a composition.  My instructor was a traditional German composer/conductor .. and they love Tuba's so it was a lot of fun.  I also played early keyboards and organs getting into the nascent MIDI interfaces of the day with an Atari ST.

I attended many orchestras at this time and got into early New Age type music such as Fresh Aiire (which I consider experimental). This really kicked off my interest in traditional instruments around the world, languages (even spoken languages are essentially musical), cultures - why I really enjoy fusion mixes.

My father had cancer during my school days, I worked those years in addition to taking care of my father.  When he passed in my final year I left music as I have to work very hard in order to survive.

I volunteer at various places as time permits, at one I pick up food for elderly women.  Seeing how hard the staff and volunteers worked helping so many I decided to try to create a song for them, my way of saying thank-you and also encouraging them.  Some people had suggested I go public .. in fact the same people suggested I start a Sound Cloud site .. which I knew very little about (just a few weeks ago).

It's been great fun.  Here is the process:

I start with an idea, then research for days to several weeks for accuracy and depth.  

Once researched I create a shot story based upon the original idea/concept.  I love true life stories, emotions, passions and work hard to get that into the lyrics (which is basically poetry).  When younger I was the #1 author in my field, worldwide, so for me writing has been a lifetime passion and poetry (lyrics) is the dessert.

Once I have it all 'fleshed out' I get into my nerdy-tech interests.  I've been involved in PC's since an Apple ][ back in 1977.  I also, as CIO, took a company from 10K in sales to over 2-Billion within 10-years and doing all aspects of IT and robotics was so so much fun.  This is why I love the AI side .. I'm getting into the LLM and really merging it with music.  For example, I'll specify (say) G Minor, the tempo (timing, beats), vocals, languages, instruments and so forth ... it's almost like C++ programming.  From there I take the lyrics and clothe it in song.  So I'm basically merging musical theory and tech.  Again, the story/lyrics are the most important aspect but the tech side sure is fun.

Finally, as I was an artist as well, I spend a lot of time doing the various track covers(which are all custom made my me, only, I tend to do them at 4K or 8K.  Then there's last but not least, organization and all the background work to keep it organized.

I'll get an email address up - if you have a story to tell let the ole Rainforest Cowboy know.  I love to write about peoples' experiences, their cities and nations, hobbies, hopes and fears.  Maybe you're in love, promoting a charity, or missing a lost one - if you would like to share, I'll make a song about it.

Thanks for listening to my music. I'm in the music scene for more than 50 years now, played thousands of gigs and released 15 albums. Never made it to the big stage, always a musicians musician, just a nicer word for having no success. Now retiring off stage and doing what I do with new productions. Never been into mainstream music, love people like Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits, outsiders who defined an own musicology. Like it or not, I'm always trying to deliver quality music, hopefully some people will find a couple of tracks they like to listen to again. This will make my day, thanks.

All my own AI assisted tracks, 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 Soundcloud 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.
