So, remember the 1950's, I was waxing poetic today. This is an A.I. voice over. I just wnted to remember the 50's with some good sounds.

Songs sounds beautiful, well done! Your vocals are clear as a bell, and smooth. There is a little Neil Diamond along with some crooners there. This is intended to be a compliment!
It is interesting to note the it is a “DIRE…” style as, before I knew this, it instantly reminded me of a Knopfler song, Seattle.
Your production is spot on, too. Thank you for sharing your art. I have subscribed to your YouTube channel.

This is stunningly beautiful and so well presented.
The vocal was as smooth as the velvet. The backing tracks were perfect and work so smoothly together. And the mix is first class This sounds as good as anything from a corporate studio.
This rewinds my life back to the 50s when I was in Jr. High and High School. (Yeah, I'm old. Moses once asked me if I was sure that there were only ten commandments.)
After 15 or 20 minutes, my mind went straight to Vic Damone. Your vocal tonality is so similar to his. In my book, that's really good. I think he is one of the most underrated singers of the 50s and 60s.
Beautiful song, arrangement and production, topped with superb vocals. I imagined Marilyn Monroe dance-floating across the video screen as I followed the lyrics.

Hi Donny! I love that chord change around 2:34! I’ve only listened once (will be doing so again, several times) but I have no idea after listening to this song what the song is saying (which is a good thing - I don’t mind it when lyrics or meaning isn’t ’in your face’), other than (I assume) recalling times with a significant other. I like these types of lyrics that use ambiguity so that the words become meaningful in the way that the listener wants. Also in my preference, the lyrics are the vehicle for the music and sentiment /feel of the song.
I did notice a couple of times where the long-held vocal notes reflect the meaning of the word spoken.
Just for clarity - is this you singing or AI? If it’s you, this is brilliant! If it’s AI, it’s good use. No offence intended when asking!
Off for my second and third listens. This sounds really good. Well done - liked it a lot.

Hi Andrew, my workload is as follows, write chords in BIAB, write lyrics using all tools, export to a mixer, add my guitar, add my voice, upload the .wav file into Suno, ask Suno to write a cover, it then adds an A>I> Agent voice over. So, this is not me this time, this is a Michael Bublé persona I created in Suno. While I own it, I did not use my voice this time. Thank you for all your comments. You can listen to a song called My Bad in the YouTube channel if you want to hear my voice. Thanks again. Donny G
Beautiful, excellent, pro work throughout. Loved the lyric phrase "danced fast, moved slow" (I think that's it). And an interesting, attention-keeping ending. I wish I could generate vocals like that. I'm going to see if I can understand the workflow you described. thanks, so great!

Hang in there Tano, it is easier than you think these days, yes it is daunting at first, but after a few time it is a piece of cake. Thanks for your kind comments. Maybe I could start a post and walk everyone thru it, I feel it is the future of songwriting, and as soon as Suno issues its' DAW, then all heck breaks loose.

Wow! Things are developing in this space - and pretty quickly it seems! You are a good songwriter, Donny. I've been listening to some of your songs on your YouTube channel. Very smooth. You're a good singer as well - listening to 'My bad'. Andrew
Donny, I don't have enough adjectives to describe how I love this song. I also thought of Vic Damone. I also agree that you superb vocal was smooth. The backing band perfectly emulated the 50's vibe. The mix was spot on. Thanx for the flashback. Loved it.
Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

Thank so much Tom, I don't know what it is but all these years and people listen but don't sub or follow. It is like I am busking online. Out in the front end of technology can be worrisome to some, I say use it.

This is far more than an AI "voice over" - it's a "cover" done by Suno. This means that although Suno has stayed true to the chords, melody and lyrics, it has completely re-done the song.

None of the backing tracks in the final version came from BiaB. At best, you could say that Sunu used the BiaB song as a guide. However:
The bass in BiaB is a lot busier; the bass in the Suno cover is a much simpler root and fifth pattern;
The electric and acoustic guitars sound are missing in the Suno cover;
The drum tracks are entirely different. The Suno drums are Latin, not rock;
The strings don't sound like MIDI strings;
Suno added a piano
Additionally, Suno essentially performs mixing and arranging.
That's not to say that it's not a beautiful song. But Suno hasn't just added a vocal - it's completely re-done the song. There is no BiaB in the final result.

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
