Hi all,
I've written and composed this folk song.
The arrangements were made with Band-in-a-Box (Fretless bass, drums, acoustic guitars, banjo) and Suno AI (vocals, flute, fiddle).

Excellent work! I esp liked the wordless vocal phrasing that paired with the flute. If Suno were an "instrument", I would say you managed and played it extremely well, and got a fantastic result! Enjoyed this!!

Christian, this is an excellent folk song.
Your blend of Suno AI and Biab is fantastic - great job.
Plus it is mixed to perfection.
Sounds great

Hi, Christian.

Suno scary-good at writing and singing melodies.

Nice arrangement!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Bonjour Christian.

This is fantastic. I love what you've done. The acoustic folk sound always feels like 'home' to be me. You, BIAB and Suno have created an excellent song.

--Noel.

P.S. My ears were there with you all the way!

Thank you all for your kind comments.
I think that Suno AI is better than Synthesizer V to sing my melody.

Hi Christian!
I thought I had posted this but maybe forgot to press the button!?
Such a lovely song - echoes of Simon and Garfunkel from Parsley, Sage and Bookends era - Garfunkel’s angelic voice and Paul Simon’s guitar work. Good choice of Suno voice. I love the chord on the line of the chorus ‘and your ears to listen’ - was it bVII? Wonderful anyway.

The reference to Simon and Garfunkel is flattering.

Great composition and production Christian. Once again AI vocals fooled me. I was going to compliment you on your vocal performance, alas that blessed software.

But the song, lyrics and production are excellent.

Kind regards

Unfortunately, I don't sing very well. So, Suno AI is a good solution for me...
