Hey guys...it's been a while since I posted anything...today's the first day since my wife's stroke that I've gotten back to the studio (my basement cubby hole)...I've kind of sold out to AI and am working with my older songs archiving them on my website...this is an older song that I've recorded with an AI group that I call "Fremont Street"...I've combined Suno AI with my playing and even singing and a track from BiaB...so if you do...thanks for listening...I always enjoy your comments...Dan

Hi Dan,

It's truly wonderful to have you back on the forum, and I've so missed hearing your music. This new song, "I Owed a Debt," is a powerful piece. The lyrics are very moving, directly conveying the core message.

Your production is, as always, impeccable. It's clear a lot of care has gone into the sound. With the use of AI in the mix, I find myself curious about the balance between the elements you crafted yourself and the AI components. It makes it a little challenging to offer truly specific feedback since I'm unsure where those lines are drawn. In the past, your songs resonated so strongly because they had this almost undefinable 'magic' that felt uniquely you.
Regardless, the song conveys a strong message of faith, and it's great to hear you creating music again.

Most importantly, I'm sending all my best wishes to you and your wife for her continued recovery. Take care, Dan.

Regards,

Izzy

Hi Dan, you've been missed. This is a sublime composition and so tugs the heart strings. Truly exquisite lyric. Bring on the gospel chorus!

Dan, good to see you back. Hope your return to the studio reflects continued progress in M'Len's recovery.

Beautiful song with gorgeous arrangement. Vocals are really nice, though I'm sure your original vocals weren't too shabby. Nicely done!

Well, reading the title I already knew what this song was about, or at least the gold of its digging. Dan, I miss you man. I'll admit to hearing this one days ago. Then only with headphones on my phone, but all the your wonderful magic comes through in its usual inspirational way.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dan, I'm glad that you are back!
But first I pray that your wife recovers from her stroke
As usual outstanding lyrics
You did not sell out to AI. You have proven that AI in the hands of a real musician can be an asset.
Loved it
