People, Like That

This is an AI production that adheres to the original in a covered work. This is a cover of an existing song that closely follows the original's melody, lyrics, and structure. It maintains the core elements and essence of the original work while adding a high production value and, in some instances, various instrumentations. Above all, as the author of this song, I want to make clear that this production respects the original composition entirely.


Here's a bit pointing out how some people can be. Not here, of course, but out there where our lower nature becomes more evident than should be tolerated.

If there is anyone out there listening and commenting, tell me what you think?

“People, Like That"

Words & Music By Tom Tognaci

https://soundclick.com/song/15239104


Some people walk around, stomping in their boots

Stepping on their neighbor's toes, like bullies, boors, and brutes

But, funny how, when the tables turn, you’ll hear them cry the blues

When they’re asked to walk a mile in their neighbor’s shoes


Aw, but people like that never get it

No empathy for their fellow men

No, people like that will never get it

Until it happens to them

But only then


Some people turn their backs on a brother’s hour of need

They won’t stand up for what is right, despite their brother’s plea

But, funny how, when the tables turn and the world turns on them,

They’ll expect a helping hand from the goodwill of all men


Aw, but people like that never get it

No empathy for their fellow men

No, people like that will never get it

Until it happens to them

But only then

    The song has a really nice rhythmic vibe, and the guitar and vocals work well together to support a lyric that feels very timely. Sensitivity today often seems in short supply, and this song does a strong job of bringing that awareness to light.

    As for the words, the core message comes through clearly and effectively, especially in the chorus, which is memorable and easy to connect with. The only constructive note I’d offer is that I found myself wanting just a bit more lyrically—maybe an extra detail or a more specific moment to deepen the impact, but that's not really necessary. This song delivers as is.

    Beautifully sung and performed, and overall it comes across stronger than a lot of what’s out there.

  • Hi Pistol, and thanks.

    As stated, this is a cover. I don't have Suno write ANYTHING for me. There is a lot of "experimental" stuff here, but my music is all cover work. I'm glad to have you here. The reciprocating rule is a bit lacks; but to be fair, there are only a few people on this site who take the time.


    Like I said, good to see you here... And thanks.


    Well, that's probably it. Everyone is fast asleep, probably writing their own brand-new hit song.

    Honestly folks, it doesn't take much to RECIPROCATE... or does it?

    Alas, yeah people like us. Love your song man. Great concept, beautiful story line and lyrics. The forum is consumed with other beings so it seems...keep on writing, you're a talented guy Tom. And most importantly...satisfy your inner musical soul with new songs...😉
