I'm the songwriter and the arranger of this ballad.
The voice and the sax come from Suno AI.

If she was a fountain
He would take his pen
His fountain pen
To refill the cartridge
With her clear water to build a bridge
Just a poem which could link them
Much better than a gem
He would let it float
On a paper boat

She is near the fountain
With a relax look
Reading a book
He is near the fountain
But he feels too shy
And stays in stand by

She is not a fountain
But he keeps his pen
His fountain pen
With the same old cartridge
With its sky blue ink to build a bridge
Just a poem which could link them
Much better than a gem
And he will give her
If he feels bolder

Hi Chris,

In a way, I hear this song in French! It has a beautiful structure, I think, as only French musicians/poets can.
It's a wonderfully sweet, dreamy love song (unfulfilled, of course, that's typically French) with a beautiful mandolin.
Suno's vocals are excellent here, although a French voice singing in English (think Charles Aznavour's "She") would probably have been a good choice as well.

Anyway, I thought it was very beautiful!

Hi, Chris.

Pretty song.

As you said, it's not easy to write a song with rhymes when you're not a native speaker!

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

Chris, this is a great song.
Loved the mandolin and the sax.
Excellent job on the synth vocal.
Super mix.
IMHO this is your best to date.

Great tune and lyrics, Chris! Created an effective mood, and was quite poetic. Excellent work!
