B.D., super composition, and nicely arranged. Love the pulsing mix and use of space. Great Suno vocals, too. Unique musical vision, and nicely translated into a very appealing song. Well done! Thank you Ron for taking the time to listen and for your nice comment. Mucho appreciated  ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Impressive, BD. That's your melody? Wow. Killer. Good write. Thanks Floyd ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) It's mostly mine; Suno often takes artistic liberties with your melodies. However, if you regenerate the incorrect parts often enough, you will almost get what you want. Pretty similar to the MultiRiff feature in BIAB.

BIG!
“The echoes of my laughter Fade like shadows in the night Like footprints in the sand They never last”
A great line of many.
SUNO Bella sounds powerful and reminiscent of Heart.
You did a great job of giving each of those guitars its own place on the soundstage. And excellent supportive performances by you.
Anthemic!

I love that operatic type opening. The lyrics are masterfully written. Big strong majestic build to the ending. Love that.

Brilliant song and sound, B.D.! The vocals are outstanding, particularly at the start. Previously I felt you were the only person to get good results out of SynthV with Goldmania Bella songs, but this is another level with Suno. When you wrote that Suno allows you to upload your own melody, do you meant the notation or an audio file? Thanks Chay You upload an audio file, ideally just with the vocals. However, you can also upload instrumental parts such as a guitar riff to use as your main hook. Re-amping on steroids. There are probably more possibilities, but I'm still a beginner and have only tried a small portion of the options.

Hi, B.D. Very cool!  Your writeup sent me down a rabbit hole finding about Suno's "Cover" feature, which has been there for a number of months. I'm not sure how close the "Cover" is to the original (it seems like Suno takes liberties), but it makes for a very compelling performance. Thanks David Yes, Suno takes some artistic liberties But if you strip down your arrangement to the essentials and have some persistence, you'll get almost exactly what you want.

A powerful song with great Suno vocals!
I like how you paused the instruments for a couple of bars while the vocals continued unaccompanied. It was a nice touch.
Excellent write and production, well done! Thank you, Bob! I love creating contrast this way when a voice is as good as this one.

Had an Evanescense feel to me, really liked it and was impressed with how you put all the many musical elements together. Great work. Thank you for your nice comment, Rob. Evanescense works for me It was fun putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, even though at times I thought I would never get it to work.

B.D. this is epic! What an outstanding arrangement I loved that vocal and lyrics. Outstanding backing tracks IMHO this is something at Queen could have done. Loved it. Thanks Mario! I'm still working on my personal "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Thank you, Scott Even though I'm not a big fan of opera music, I really like it when it's combined with rock music. This definitely won't be my last exploration of this genre...

Wow this sounds really great to my ears! I don't hear anything that I would consider changing! Love the reverb on the lead vocal! The rhythm bed is very solid and tight sounding! Also, great video work also! Excellent!
