While respecting the dictionary definitions, to me, and probably to most people, a songwriter is someone whose creative process results in a finished song - music and lyrics - whereas a lyricist is someone who "just" writes lyrics. I put the quot…

You do a great job of capturing the style of the era. Ignore all those banging on about it not being contemporary - they're missing the point of what you do, and do well.
I'm not sure about the chorus. The second line shifts in a direction …

This shouldn't work. The lyric doesn't fit the melody. It rambles all over the place. But it does work 🤔 I think that ill-fitting rambling thing is what holds my attention and makes me pay attention to the lyric as it kind of wanders through my b…

A fun take on a serious message. The delivery is spot on, as is the music. Some clever lines. A lot to like :)

Some clever lines in there, Carroll. Definitely the right choice of genre in Sumo.

I really like this one, Renee. It's a foot-tapper with a bit of an old-time gospel blues feel, if that's a thing. Absolutely agree with Tammy that you need to bring your voice up in the mix. Also, maybe try doubling your vocals in the chorus to m…

I don't think the track is too chill for the message. It fits well with the kind of robotic delivery of the lyric. I enjoyed it, despite the depressing nature of the message.

I like the idea of getting Suno to "cover" your home recorded demos. That makes me maybe want to try it. I admit that I'm getting a little weary of AI generated songs where someone just writes a lyric and tells Suno to have at it. The results ten…

Got to agree with the others. The first version has that classic sad country feel that fits the lyric like a glove. Nothing wrong with the second version, but it lacks the emotional punch of the first.
I speak as an authority on songs featu…

I like it, Tom. But then I like all your songs. This one is very atmospheric, even if the melody is maybe not quite as strong as in some of your songs (to me, anyway).
I'm a bit lost with the lyric. It talks of fair-weather friends, but par…

I guess doing what he did and letting Suno "remix" a song that he had actually written and recorded does still allow some room for creativity. It does look like fun, although to me all the versions sound as bad as ech other LOL.

There are spots where the phrasing is not quite there, but I'm sure you can work that out, and it's not at all hard to see past that to what a good song this is. I like songs that have something to say and don't hold back about saying it. I found…

@bhengen Not over here, anyway. Pretty standard on the other side of the pond :)

Nah, I like humans. Some of them, anyway. Band In A Box is fun though. Like having a band who never need to stop for bathroom breaks or turn up late because they got smashed the night before. But your video has convinced me that what Rob needs is…

I know you said I'm not allowed to enjoy this but is it OK if I say that I did? Because I did 😄 The AI does a good job with the melody. I'm not sure that I would be quite as totally cynical, but I get what you're saying and there are bound to be …

if it's just a case of adding bass and drums, Band In A Box might work for you. It could lay down those tracks and you play over them.

Thanks @RainyDayMan. I agree that the violin fits very nicely in there.
@TammyB @BeatlesFan64 @ChrisPrice - thanks for the kind words. Glad that the feeling that went into the song came through 😊 -
I like where this is going. Melodyne could be your friend here, both for pitch correction and adding harmonies- I agree those are needed in the chorus. A choral effect building through the song would be a great way to go.
The soaring, anthemic… -
Definitely easier to make out the lyrics here. I agree with everything the others have said here. Do you play bass? That would be a good addition.
-
Great rock sound. The story in the lyrics is simple enough for the listener to follow without having to work - important in a rock song, I think🙂
Great stuff, Chris! -
Thanks @ElvisNash for giving it a spin.
I enjoyed this. The visuals are so vivid. I can picture Grandma - someone I'd better not cross. I got what you were saying with "Blondes in Qipao's." You say it all with one image and three words. Nice! That's what songwriting should do.
Th…
I really like this. Nice boppy tune that takes me back to a previous era. Nice clean production too. I suppose you could replace the letter with a text if you wanted to make it relevant to today. That might be a fun contrast of style and content.…
Love the sentiment, and I bet your son does too. In one way, I'm impressed with what Suno has done, since the structure of the song is sort of loose and informal in places. It's impressive that the AI can handle that. On the other hand, I don't t…
For some reason, the site won't let me play this song 😒
I'm like Chris. I really just use SoundCloud as a place to park songs for feedback at a place like this. At some point, I deem the songs finished and, if I like them enough, put them out on the streaming services like Spotify either as part of an…
An interesting lyric and rousing music.👍️ I'm not familiar with Dorico. I'll have to check it out. Totally agree with everything you say about writing your own melodies.
The reference to Icarus is a good one - the longing to fly that comes …
I don't see myself using it. I just write for fun, but half of the fun of writing songs is coming up with the melody. The lyric influences the melody and vice versa. I simply can't imagine writing one without the other. I say this as a lousy musi…
Knock 'em dead, Owen!
Definitely a 60s folk feel to this, which I like. The 6/8 time somehow adds to the gentle nostalgic feel. Nice harmonies. I like this a lot ☺️
Howdy, Stranger!
