Took me longer than I wanted to get back in the studio, but heres a rough demo of my latest write

If You Love Me
BIAB 2026
Mixcraft Pro Studio 10
Ai Vox by Suno (mine will be on full release)

[Verse 1]
I saw you leaning on that old oak tree,
The sunlight dancing in your hair.
You looked at me, then looked away,
Like I wasn’t even standing there.
I’ve been patient, I’ve been kind,
But I’m running out of borrowed time.

[Chorus]
If you love me, then why not let me know?
What’s the secret you’re too scared to show?
I’ve been waiting, waiting for the words to grow.
If you love me, then why not let me know?

[Verse 2]
Your laugh lingers like a southern breeze,
Soft and sweet, but hard to chase.
I’ve been tracing every little clue,
But all I find is empty space.
I ain’t asking for the moon,
Just tell me, darlin’, tell me soon.

[Chorus]
If you love me, then why not let me know?
What’s the secret you’re too scared to show?
I’ve been waiting, waiting for the words to grow.
If you love me, then why not let me know?

[Bridge]
Is it fear, is it doubt,
What’s the wall you’re building now?
I can’t climb it, I can’t see,
All I want is honesty.

[Chorus]
If you love me, then why not let me know?
What’s the secret you’re too scared to show?
I’ve been waiting, waiting for the words to grow.
If you love me, then why not let me know?

Thank you for that, Suno is getting better at the vocal side I must admit. I'll only ever use it for demo purposes,

It's a very excellent demo, my only criticism - as it’s a demo - as that the music sounds a little muffled.


Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

You're quite right it does, this was done really quickly just to see how BIAB 2026 worked in relation to 2025, so I'll admit to not taking as much care as I normally would with eq,comp etc.
👍
