Cold Custard

Cold Custard (youtube.com)

I started writing songs 40 years ago - but I can't really sing and my musicianship leaves something to be desired.

About 30 odd years ago I had the inevitable bad breakup and wrote loads of poems/lyrics as part of the cathartic recovery process. In my late 20s, early 30s I set them to music just for me. By my 40s I stopped playing and writing, but a couple of months ago I discovered Suno. I'm sure some people will consider that cheating, but I'm about to hit 60, I have neuropathy (so I can't play instruments anymore) and I've never been a great singer - but I still like to write lyrics and hear those lyrics turned into songs. Since the AI has to built the music around my lyrics, I count it as (mostly) my music : ).

This (Cold Custard) is most me just playing with words, though, as with many of my lyrics, there is a cathartic thing going on because I usually have a particular person or incident in mind when I'm jotting down words. Sadly, being English, the language in some of my songs are a bit fruity so I can't bring them here.

Have a good day.

  • Hello and welcome to the forum, Andrew!

    You are welcome to post AI generated songs, provided you have contributed to it personally yourself (as you have by writing the lyrics). If AI had generated the entire song without input other than a prompt, then it wouldn't be suitable to post here, as rightly or wrongly I don't consider that songwriting. But others post AI generated music, having written the lyrics, as well.

    If you would like comments on the lyric, it's helpful to post them here on TSF so people can read them as well as listening.

    I noticed that your Youtube video was flagged as having explicit lyrics. I didn't hear anything there that bothered me, but it's a good time to mention that we aim to be family friendly here, so excessive language can result in songs being edited or removed. As I said, I didn't hear anything there that was an issue.

    Welcome aboard!

  • Indeed welcome. I would agree with RDM (who runs the forum) that posting the lyrics would be helpful. From what I can make out the words are really sharp. The Ai music? Well, the style certainly suits the words. The vocals sound a bit robotic to my ears, but that's Ai...at the moment anyway. Like Ai or not, it's only going to get better. Keep em comin'😀
