Lyrics: Verse 1 Engines hum beneath the sun, South of France, the road’s begun. Wind in hair, the laughter flows, Chasing dreams where freedom grows. Verse 2 (8 bars) Through the hills, the rivers bend, Every mile with my best friends. Heat of summer, hearts ignite, Rolling fast into the night.
Chorus Ride the summer sky, let the stars be our guide, From the coast of France to the Adriatic tide. Feel the rhythm of the wheels, hear the ocean’s song, Every heartbeat says this is where we belong.
Verse 3 Italy calls with golden light, Croatian shores by midnight bright. Salt on skin, the waves embrace, Fire and laughter fill the space.
Verse 4 Stories told by candle glow, Songs we sing as embers slow. Love is found in fleeting hours, Summer’s magic, endless powers. Chorus Under moonlit skies, we’ll dance and we’ll swim, Music in the air, love burning within. No maps, no plans, just the road and the breeze, Living wild and free, doing just as we please.
Hi Laurent! Initially, my mind was primed to hear something akin to Steppenwolf, so I was pleasantly surprised by the style of band, melody and singer you had chosen - all suiting the subject very well! There is a certain openness and freedom in the music, along with a positive vibe, and this supports the music very well. The melody glides along as well.
I had to chuckle a few times while watching the video - which was very good - at how AI generated and evolved certain scenes … where did that helmet come from? Where did that rider come from? Driving on the LHS then RHS? Putting those details aside, the video really helped paint a picture of the joy of riding - closest thing to flying, they say.
A good song - enjoyed it immensely.

Great song, excellent guitar! Your Suno tracks are better than mine, I usually have a microglitch or two that I hope nobody notices. Not Triumphs, Lee, they're oil-leaking POSs. At least they were in the seventies when I rode. ; )

Sorry Laurent, this is off topic and Rob threw down his motorcycle glove.
I’m sure you can get lemons no matter which brand you buy. I had a 1990s Triumph Thunderbird whilst I was living in England. It was a beautiful bike and I loved riding it around the Norfolk countryside. (Picture attached) I would have like to have had it in Australia but didn’t want to go through all the protocols to export it. Never gone back to a motorcycle, but Laurent’s song and video sure does capture the freedom and feel of flying you get on a bike. What I got back on my bike, I’ve probably now spent on guitars and music equipment. Both very satisfying pursuits.
Love the groove happening on this one, Laurent, good write, good band, Suno vocal sounds good too. Video was fun to watch, I'm always amazed at what you and Marty can accomplish!
Highlight for me was the extended guitar during the outro, excellent!

Thanks Andrew for the feedback. It's true that there are inconsistencies in some AI-generated videos. It just proves we're still useful. Laurent

Thank you for the comments and I agree with TuneMonger on the opinion given on Triumph motorcycles in the 70s (this is no longer the case now) We were fans of Japanese bikes, 4-cylinder 4-stroke or 3 or 2-cylinder 2-stroke with a clattering noise but which revved very high. Laurent

Oh, yeah, LOVE THIS, Laurent! Great beat and a fun travelling song --through life. Man, great choices of sax. The whole band is perfect. Love that bass. Very cool video too. I like the almost-choreographed riding.
Enjoy whatever happens! marty

Laurent, loved the groove on this one Outstanding backing band and great guitar ending. Super job on that Suno voice A great song about motorcycle riding without distorted guitars - Brilliant Loved it

Very cool! The Suno sax sounded great, so it would have been nice to hear it again at the end along with (but not at the same time as) the guitar solo.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
