Hi, Christian. That's a very French blues!  Suno has the husky blues voice down. Enjoy those berries!

Hi, Pete. Sorry you've had a tough time. Welcome back. I must warn you though these will most likely be hurting songs, so apologies upfront. I first read this as "I will be hurting songs", followed by "I will be hunting songs", which makes a bit more sense. Still not used to these bifocals. đ

I really like the instrumentation, arrangement, mix and production, plus the vocals are great, but I was disappointed by the end lyrics as I think the strength of the earlier verses were let down by the girl being a cat.

Hi David, the labeling was a kind of try out. There were a lot of confusing things going on 'in my head', so how to limit them? If not, the song would have been much to long. I tried some approaches with ChatGPT for grammar issues and then I came with this. And it worked out well. But did you like the song too? Sorry, I wasn't clear. Yes, I did enjoy the song.

Hi, Andrew. Cool intro! I like the pared-back backing. With retro piano vocal doubling, it's got a touch of John Lennon to it. It works for me. Nice! And, yes - AI can be super-irritatingly boot licking.

I think it's a song with great potential - though I'd arrange it to make it longer - but I thought the whole mix was too blurry, particularly the vocals. I was surprised as you have way better facilities than I do.

Hi, B.D. Very pretty song. The quiet approach is very effective in keeping my attention. Top marks on everything here. Style: PNOFLOW.STY (the piano's gone, though) That's half a song right there!

Hi, Chay. Well, I'll unhelpfully bump it up again. I heard it before - I recall reading about the charango - but I didn't comment then. Nice music - looking forward to the vocal version! David, you pig-dog swinehund! Drat! Drat! Drat! Ahh, heck, thanks, anyway.

Hi Scott, It's so funny...when I hear a country song, my first impulse is to go "ug". It's just habit, even despite the fact that this forum has helped me learn to appreciate all kinds of music. I only share that embarrassing tidbit to express the quality of your song which really pulled me in. I was fascinated by the layered guitars. Strong, steady vocal and the chorus progression is really catchy too. Fiddles to boot. Curses! I'm a country fan!! Besth, country is like any other genere, there's bad, gooed and great. I've never been keen on pop ballad contry, but I've always been a fan of country rock and what I call bluegrss rock.

Fact is, there's something JOYFUL and EXCITING about creating a song yourself, or solving a complicated problem, or reading (not listening to) a good book, or...well, you get the point. Sure, tech can do many things we used to do the old fashion way, and for an increasing number of things, that makes sense. But for the things that give ME joy and excitement...I'm not going there. Just can't give that up.

................................................... Conversely, Studio One Pro (as an example) does have a modern/attractive GUI, a short learning curve and is not being technologically left behind. So these positive attributes are possible to combine into a single software product.; but it requires elegant software engineering. Studio One has also embraced AI. FWIW - Studio One Pro, Toontrack, BiaB, and others have short learning curves IF you only scratch the surface of those programs. All of them have steeper learning curves as you get deeper into them. The biggest difference IMHO is that BiaB is not as intuitive as the others. I know I'm comparing apples to oranges but I have no wheres as many problems with digging deeper in other software as I have with BiaB. Hopefully with PGM requesting suggestions on improving BiaB this may change. Note this is based on my 40 years using music software so your experiences may be different than mine.

Excellent piece of music Chay. Really cool groove. Fiddle was a really nice touch. Beautiful melody. Super mix. Well done Thanks, Scott! This instrumental has kept coming back to the top of the thread despite that I've posted 2 more recent ones. I now have the vocal version almost ready for posting, but I need this version to disappear in case folk confuse it with the future vocal!

................................................... But a larger point (for me) is that I'd never surrender the joy of making and playing music on my physical instruments to a bot or anything else; hence the cartoon. If others feel different on this point, no problem; music is a highly personal thing. Same here and in fact that is why I use mostly MIDI. I can easily modify the tracks to my satisfaction. I also replace tracks with my playing. I know that I am no wheres as good as those RTs and in fact most all of the posters here but I love playing, even at my age. My main concern is the financial harm and emotional disillusionment that pro musicians may suffer due to the AI tsunami which is now upon us. I remember when the same thing was said about BiaB a few years ago. The same thing when DJs and Karaoke took over the wedding and bar business. I do not believe musicians will stop making music because of AI. In fact IMHO AI like BiaB will make them better musicians. YMMV

It was on a chart for downloaded songs which is a tiny fraction of the streaming charts. Yes, I knew that it was a streaming chart. I considered this as a shot across the bow, i.e. an example of things to come. Actually it is not a streaming chart. It is a download chart - meaning users paid for the download, e.g. a mp3. It takes very, very few downloads to hit the top of those charts compared to streaming. It does not appear in the top 50 on any streaming chart. Very few of the articles made this clear. FWIW! đ Thanx for clearing this up, I appreciate it.

Excellent songwriting! Loved the word pictures, the rhyme scheme, the melody was perfect for what you were doing, and the performance so professional! The one comment i'd have...BIAB's "horn section" is good for background, but it comes off as kind of blocked and computer-y if you try to use it as a solo section. I'd maybe select a solo RT to put on top of that portion. Enjoyed it thoroughly!
