  • We could never pay what we owe

    Hero’s with halos

    lovely lines, and placed just right at the end of the chorus to add to their weight.

    I think this might spread more within families of the armed forces than …

  • I think the guitar and the vocal sound quite good, especially the vocal.

    Unfortunately in bringing up the volume, it's brought up the hiss with it. You might be able to EQ some of that down, but it's always an issue when compressin…

  • @jgkojak You have might have missed it, but Sid included the following text at the top:

    Sensitive To…

  • Definitely better Rob. I think this is the cleanest sound I've heard from you yet. Everything is really clear.

    Good on you for working on this.

  • Ok! Well I guess that's working then!

  • The lyrics feel like they carry a lot of weight, but I have to say I don't really follow them.

    I get a sense of introspection, perhaps not being true to yourself, and towards the end of life being disappointed with how things have turned ou…

  • Might be one I try to catch. Love the music, so it's got that going for it, and if the acting's good then that makes it interesting for me too.

  • Elvis, I think you're the king of ramblin' conversations! 🤣

  • Best of luck, Elvis! You deserve it, but that means nothing as you well know.

    Strong song, so you're in with a chance.

  • It does have a book or movie script feel to it, doesn't it? Quite the adventure with romance to boot. From Africa to London to Alice Springs.

    There's a lot of phrases here you just down normally find in a song, like "UN Search party" - and …

  • @sidshovel Sid, you're more proficient in Suno than I am. Is there a feature Skandha can use to regenerate jus…

  • The bells of St Clements immediately put me in mind of the song (nursery rhyme?) that starts oranges & lemons say the bells of St Clements, but those are in London I think so likely not relevant here.

    A majestic ship, thousands of miles…

  • I think the case for posts including the "Sensitive Topics" text is clearer. There we need to respect the OP's wishes. There's also an onus on me to intervene earlier with a warning to keep things on track. I think generally people respond favora…

  • Ha! You're probably right. I made the verses and choruses all 5 lines too, just to give Suno something else to do!

  • It is indeed Helen of Troy. In fact what I was trying for was a modern couple where she has gone to Paris -the city (will you burn much brighter there) but where all the references mirror the historical events, hence time di…

    Tom, I hear you about wanting this thread to be noticed, but I think people will still find it here in the General Discussion.

    And I'm happy to hear your views. I used to be a member of other websites, but I'm not any longer, …

  • Nice! Got a stream of consciousness vibe to me, which seems a great fit for a song titled "Pretend you're the wind"

    Like the way the melody goes at "Strong libations and toasts to everyone" and similar lines

    Good stuff!

  • Got a rock opera feel to it. The more formal tone and structure of the lyric works well for this topic.

    I didn't mind the switch between male and female. Made it feel like different perspectives on the same event.

    Intriguing!

  • Ok. This is a warning to all concerned.

    Civility to other members is a requirement here. If you don't wish to, or cannot communicate in a reasonable manner to other members find another songwriting website. Failure to do so here w…

  • Definitely a cleaner sound, so kudos on the production. You could even bring the vocals forward a touch, but that's often a personal preference.

    The message isn't coming across for me in the lyric, I don't know what it's trying to say. Enti…

  • Agreed as to getting back on topic.

  • Definitely seems like the jumpshare links expire. You might need to try posting them somewhere else next time

  • Thank you kindly!

  • I like this a lot. Really dreamy feeling in those opening verses. Put an image straight in my mind.

    So is she a teacher? That's how I was interpreting "Her classroom moves..."

  • The music was very different to what I expected just reading the lyric, but it's nice! Lovely spiritual lyric.

  • Lyrics for those interested:

    [Verse]

    Wake up with the sunrise fire in my eyes

    Chasing down the lightning across the skies

    I'm not a shadow and I won't be a ghost

    Living for the moments I cherish the most


  • Gotta love this line: "Such lamentably amateur iambic pentameter" !!

    The chorus is lovely too. And so many ways of communicating!

    Nice twist: "Well, you didn’t think a lot of me till I went and won the lottery "

    It's clever and …

  • Definitely captures emotions. And plenty of vivid imagery. It's got a message and a unique perspective.

    It feels like there's a thread of self pity running thru the story and that doesn't always engage the listener.

    It's well written.…

  • Commently strictly as a song, I think it has a limited shelf life. It's strength is in topical political satire, but other events will likely over take it.
