The songbird sings in the warm summer sun                       

Its song is sweet and endearing                                                

But when it has sung the last note on its tongue               

It flies away, disappearing                                                      

For oh, the sun may stop shining                                               

And oh, the snow falls cold                                                        

And oh, that winter’s wind may throw                                           

A tantrum to behold                                                                    

 

You’ll hold my hand, and that’s all right by me                           

It’s all been fine and fair sailing                                                  

You smile and I nod, and we always agree                         

But will it go without failing?                                                       

For oh, the sky may turn bitter                                              

And oh, the rain may come                                                                

And yes, that devil wind may send                                                   

Those clouds to block the sun                                                                   

 

All those fair-weather friends, they’ll up and run, like the birds that leave the trees 

While the songbird chases the summer sun; I'll be left behind to freeze

I'll be left behind to freeze

 

Now,

Let it be known that this story I’ve told                                          

Was once first penned a cappella                                              

But when a wild storm brewed and its big thunder rolled                      

You up and shared your umbrella                                                           

Oh, how the sky had opened                                                         

With a trumpet’s golden sound                                                

The dark clouds went their separate ways                                          

And a true-blue friend was found 

A true-blue friend was found

 

All those fair-weather friends, they’ll up and run, like the birds that leave the trees 

While the songbird chases the summer sun; I'll be chasing you on skis

In the frosty mountain breeze

    OMG such a beautiful rendition...but the vocals don't compare to yours. I love this song and listened to it many times but...I'm partial to your original. And if you really want to bring in a band sound, there are websites out there that can bring in human session players...but you know that right?

    That is so cool, most of the stuff I've heard with ai sounds overproduced, seems entering your own song changes that equation.

    Makes it seem more believable and more homegrown.

    I like the feel of this. The only reason to redo the vocal would be if you were marketing yourself .

    Works as a functioning demo as is.

    Like it, and that's where I'm headed with it
  • Came out very well!

  • I appreciate the "voice" comment, but my productions are getting harder and harder for me to do. Honestly, not too many really care.

    I'm going to continue recording my songs, but only to use to make covers and for my family to reflect on.

    Thanks for stopping by!



    Hi Domd thanks for commenting. Could it be that making covers, AI has much more to go on to produce a more natural sound?

    I think these recordings shine where my music can't.

    Thanks, Rainy. I agree.

    I've spent thousands, over the years, and didn't get the results that I got here.

    @IronKnee . I think ai at least with suno is primed to go for polished productions after all, they care about one thing, making money. So make anybody sound like a super star, that's how you keep the gravy train coming

    But when you enter say a guitar and vocal, it's taking it's cue from that and tries to support that.

    If you told it to add more instrumentation, added prompts to be commercial sounding it might change it

    What you should do for experiment is cover the cover version with different prompts and see what happens
  • HA!

    That sounds way too ambitious for me. That's a game for my son-in-law. He spends a lot of money buying additional credits for all his experiments. I'm only interested in getting good demos.

    Sounds good Tom , I would not waste money on human session players , It's impossible to make a ROI . These major artists jump thru a lot of hoops to make a buck , it's not the romantic life as some portray . it's better to spend a penny a track on AI

    As Dom said it
  • This sounds really good. It's a really good song to begin with and Suno does a great job. Covering your own songs is the way to go.
