Hello friends.. it's been a while. I don't write many songs.

This one is based on how late life relationships might develop between friends. Revelation, denial, possibility then agreement? It's all conjecture. It's just a song, not a confession. LOL

The project started with the SUNO AI, but I scrapped everything but the chord progression, acoustic guitar and the drums. The rest is me, including the melody (since I couldn't sing the one generated by Suno.) This forum is to let people show how we use PGMusic products, and sometimes I just use it as a DAW. This is one of those times. No real tracks to call out.

Side notes:
Any woman worth her salt is a brat... at every age
Late in life, friendship is the prize
there's no place for pretense in any relationship
people have a fundamental need to be seen and understood... to be known as they know themselves.
"I know who you are", spoken from the position of credibility and sincerity, could be the ultimate compliment
