Bad Advice

Some Steely Dan vibes... this is a case where I kind of prefer my original to the SUNO (sans my poor singing)

BAD ADVICE

[Verse 1]

The hardest part was when I had to tell you

All the little things that you do

Are unlikely to come back and haunt you

Little do you know it's true


[Chorus]

And the games that you're playing

To pretend that you don't know

Exactly what it is I'm saying

It's time to let it go


[Chorus]

Bad advice, you weren't even listening

Bad advice is a losing way

Bad advice, welcome to the christening

Get on board the bad advice train


[Verse 2]

And all your past manipulations

You stacked the deck and expect me to fold

Before you cash your ticket, I need to weigh in

So you can't say that you were never told


[Chorus]

Bad advice, you weren't even listening

Bad advice is a losing way

Bad advice, welcome to the christening

Get on board the bad advice train


[Instrumental]


[Verse 3[

And you won't believe me that I warned you

You'll move along knowing you want more

And all the people that you stepped on

Will someday block your path back out the door


[Chorus]

Bad advice, you weren't even listening

Bad advice is a losing way

Bad advice, welcome to the christening

Get on board the bad advice train


(Bad advice you weren't even listening)

Get on board the bad advice train

(Bad advice welcome to the christening)

Get on board the bad advice train

    not catching the vibe in either the lyrics or the music, but that's me, I know others here will say it's spot on ;)

    this line seems a bit off - Will someday block your path back out the door, I think without forcing a rhyme, there might be a better way to phrase that.

    If you want to accurately compare your version to Suno, then you have to change your prompt. your style prompt isn't jazz fusion, which is Donald' Fagan / Walter Becker's style.

    Try it with this prompt, this is closer to steely dan's style - jazzfusion groove with tight studio musicianship rhodes piano clean electric guitar smooth bass and precise drums dry sardonic male vocal delivery in the style of late70s Jazz Rock, Soft Rock, Pop Rock complex chords subtle horn accents and a cool detached tone

    when I read bad advice train, my brain replaces it with love train, by the O'Jays, now I have the song stuck in my head.

    You should have titled the song Bad Advice Train, as that's a catchy hook..

  • Thank you for that ADVICE

    Tried my original with your prompt:

    why is it showing this - s_MAX_MODE: MAX](MAX) [QUALITY: MAX](MAX) in the style prompt?

    it sounds better, you still need to clean up your lyrics. if you stepped on people, then they can't block your path .

    little details. what you should do is, put these lyrics up on ChatGPT with the prompt to not change the lyrics, but ask if there syllable count matches and if the logic make sense. they will analyze show where the issues are

    You're telling and not showing . I would give examples of bad things this person is doing wrong . What examples of bad advice ? , Drive without insurance . Drive drunk , ect ect

  • Suno did a great job with bringing this to life.

    I don't understand, however, your use of the word "unlikely". Shouldn't you have said, "Are likely to come back to haunt you"?

    Anyways... I agree with the Steely Dan vibe... good stuff!

    The word "are" might be interfering. And then again, sometimes the syllabic count messes the cover process.

    Try re-writing that line in a slightly different way.

    I've had that very problem, at least twice.
