The birth of Venus

Inspired by the painting of the same name

[Intro, 4/4 time]

Gazing upon The Birth of Venus,

Lost in the beauty of technique

By a master craftsman's hand

Storytelling with his brush


[Verse 1, 5/8 time]

Suspended on the water, 

In a fertile shell of pearls

Translucent is her skin, 

Purity in the whiteness

The long flowing red hair, 

Fiery in its passion

White skin laid bare, 

Exposing vulnerability


[Bridge, 4/4 time]

Fertility, purity, 

passion, vulnerability

Symbolism hidden in

The Birth of Venus,

But what do they mean?


[Verse 2, 7/8 time]

Locked in a perpetual

Battle of philosophies, 

Mired in abstraction

Fueling discourse 

Maybe a painting, 

Is just a painting


[Verse 3, 4/4 time]

Nothing more, 

Nothing more, 

Things just

Are simply Nothing


[Guitar solo]


[Chorus, 4/4 time]

Fixated on the obtuse, 

While ignoring the beauty

Locked in petty debates

Blinded in minor details


[Verse 4, 4/4 time]

Whether his muse was a poem

Or taken from Plato

Doesn't alter the vision

Nor distort the beauty


[Outro, 5/8 time]

Life is short, enjoy the ride

  • Wow! very immersive, talk about being taken for a ride!

    Thanks for posting

  • @sidshovel thanks., really appreciate it.. was a little concerned about following a cohesive train of thought. my brain tends to ramble sometimes :)

  • I was looking at all the proposed timing changes in the lyric. That would have been a wild ride all right! It sounds like Suno has ignored most of those.

    To be honest, I found the music a little repetitive in this one, but that is a personal reaction, it's just not my style.

    It's another intriguing lyric, and it seems a good match to the style of music you're using.

  • @RafaelaGar , that's the problem with suno, your stuck with whatever timing they pick. this was my other pick https://suno.com/song/b6822f10-a2e7-48fc-a2ea-5c21ded6f4f2 .

  • Colorful. The change at 3:30 makes for good contrast, which I think is important (but each to his own). At a first listen I can't really see anything wrong.
  • thanks

    What a lovely tribute to a lovely painting. The only part which caught me off guard is the following:

    [Verse 3, 4/4 time]

    "Nothing more, 

    Nothing more, 

    Things just

    Are simply Nothing" .... I just can't buy that.

    But other than that, a masterpiece as the painting! (had to look it up and thank you @bhengen for introducing me once again to fine art. And you have me falling in love with the intensity of goth. Truly breathtaking when combined with meaningful words! Okay, playtime over and it's off to the trench (work) I go.......ugh!

    Truly,

    Renee

  • @HummerWisdom , yes, I think I left that a little abrupt... thanks for the compliment
