Joanne
This is an old song of mine. Was on the previous version of the site, lost after the crash.
I've used the Suno cover feature to make this new version, but the words & music are mine

Joanne
[Verse]
Sit tight, act right,
maybe he'll come tonight
waiting for the lover of your dream life
Drink more, like a whore
Maybe you can get a score
Some day you're gonna make a good wife
[Pre-chorus]
Late nights sitting by the fireside
Trying to make sense of the life you're in
Got no answers and you're getting tired
So you give yourself to the dreams within
[Chorus]
Jo-o-o-anne
Heart set free in the wind to roam
No-o-o ma-an
Knows how to care when you're on your own
Jo-o-o-anne
Heart set free in the wind to roam
No-o-o ma-an
Knows how to care when you're on your own
[Verse]
Hold out, it's cold out
Someone's got you sold out
Writing on the wall says it's over
Hands maul, tears fall
It ain't no love at all
He leaves some money and it's over
[Pre-chorus]
Late nights crying on a city street
Phoning a friend but there's no one home
You give your love to everyone you meet
But you wake up on your own
[Chorus]
Jo-o-o-anne
Heart set free in the wind to roam
No-o-o ma-an
Knows how to care when you're on your own
Jo-o-o-anne
Heart set free in the wind to roam
No-o-o ma-an
Knows how to care when you're on your own
[Outro, slowing]
Jo-anne, Jo-anne, Joanne

this is cool, love the 80s rock. Story is tight and clear. sounds good totally fits the genre.
couple small nit picks: "someday you'll make a good wife" maybe but only if your Richard Gere. 😁
the "knows how to care when you're on you're own" is the weakest part due to having to cram all the words in there. slight rephrasing to fix maybe?
over all i like it. 👍️

Really catchy, a sad story, how many Joan in the tres, very good lyrics Owen, and your version is really special, so personal and authentic, as if you were singing in a party @RainyDayMan

I like how you write conversationally. Your words really paint a picture. I like the original, and you did a really good job with matching the right melody for those lyrics.
