Hey gIRL !
Hello, I have been busking this song for a while, but I have never had any recordings of it. I wrote this for a friend of mine, the BiaB memo is below. I make use of the parallel mode shift in this progression or modal interchange.

However, for this one, I decided not to record my vocal, just the BiaB chords and the lyrics I wrote, of course. Anyway, I downloaded the BiaB song as a wave, and then uploaded it into Suno, I added the lyrics into Suno with the BiaB progression, brought in my Michael persona, this is an A.I. band I created that I use for busking, and asked Suno to create a cover song. So, this is a Suno cover of my BiaB busking song, my progression, my lyrics, Suno vocal.

Hi Donny,

That's a very impressive sound you've created! Michael was an excellent choice of vocaloid. It sounded like the real deal to me. I would never have known it was a.i. if you hadn't mentioned it.

On the 'easy listening' scale, this is an easy 10 out of 10 for me! I loved it.

Hey Donny!
Some really tasty chord moves there! And that guitar solo was fab as well. This one would make the diners at the restaurant where you gig put down their knives and forks and listen!
Nice work.

Andrew, you have been so nice to me, I am going to give you , and you alone the chords. Here ya go my friend,

|: a) I | I(add6/9) | V(add6/9) | % | I | i | V(add2) | % |
| vi(add9) | II13 | V | V(add2) | vi(add11) | II9sus | V | V(add6/9) :3X |
| a) V(add6/9) | % | % | % |

As I mentioned, I use this technique.
A parallel mode shift (or parallel modal interchange) refers to borrowing chords from a parallel mode—meaning a mode that shares the same tonic (root note) but differs in quality (major/minor or modal flavor). It’s a powerful tool for emotional contrast, color, and surprise in songwriting and composition.

Thanks, Andrew, for listening.
