Ron: thank you  I'll have to listen out for the glitches ... they completely passed me by, lol ... see, that's why it's so good to have another, fresh musical ear to listen to our songs! My take with AI is as follows... James, thank you for the thoughtful reflection. No question this is your song, and it is something to be quite proud of. I should probably clarify though: I generally don't listen to Suno covers because they don't feature audio tracks generated by our host's software. Didn't mean to overly complicate it. I just prefer to focus my time here listening to how others are using BiaB. Love your music!

17, this is a lovely heartbreaker. It builds up to the incredibly well written lyric and unforgettable climax, "And as you gently open one more door, Inside my soul ... I could not miss you more." I'm happy to have been able to chance upon one of your songs.
John

Aaah James! Suno or not, that is one beautiful song. Both the lyrics and arrangement were perfect and full of sentiment. A really touching song.
Kind regards.

Dear Janne, "Thank you" is too little said, but thank you so much for your incredibly kind review. It's easily the best review I've ever received on any of my songs. I'm ever so happy that you enjoyed this song, and ever so grateful that you took the time and the care to write such a kind and beautiful review for it. As I'm sure that you have realised, this song is unfortunately autobiographical. I've tried my best, therefore, when writing it, to write as "good" a song as I possibly can. As you know, it's often so difficult to write under the pressure, even if it's "self-inflicted" pressure, to write something worthy. Therefore, the fact that you have liked it so much, and have kindly let me know in such wonderfully written words, brings an immense sigh of relief from me. As I think I already wrote somewhere: I was so terrified I'd "mess it up" . I'm so happy that, thanks to your feedback on it, I don't have to worry about that any more. In short: thank you, and God bless you for your kind words.

Hi James, It's great to see another one or your songs posted for us all to enjoy. This is Chef's-kiss-beautiful music at its very, very best. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32352&filename=chefs kiss small.png) I was thoroughly enchanted by this musical and lyrical journey. To my ears, the melody, the arrangement and the singing were a perfect fit for your outstanding lyrics. I congratulate you on such a fine piece of music. I would love to have been able to write words like these. You touched my soul with them. A truly memorable and thought-provoking presentation for all the very best reasons. I'm so glad you posted it. I loved this. --Noel P.S. This song definitely deserves to be here. If any PG Music product was used in its creation, it is rightfully able to be included in this forum.

Thanks, Noel. You're ever so kind, always ... but just one thing: you DO write absolutely INCREDIBLE lyrics, yourself. It's one of the first things I notice about your songs, when I first listen to them ... absolutely beautiful lyrics, wrapped up in absolutely wonderful music. So please know that I'm glad you think that I did the right thing, in posting this song on this forum. I wouldn't have really done it, to be honest - but, in the end, I said: ok, I will post this one, even if it turns out to be an exception to the rule Thanks for the kind welcome, with it! God bless you for taking the time to listen, and to write such a lovely, lovely review and comment!

James, this is a beautiful tribute to your sister. J
Janice lost her oldest sister a few years ago,
She said that the following lines so well describe her feelings.
“We'd laugh and cry, we'd share things, as before,
And I could tell you all my thoughts, once more,”
Again, you’ve written a lovely song. Welcome back,
J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Hi James,
To start, I'd like to quote Ray: when the piano started, I knew immediately: this is the chord progression, typical of James. I had that feeling right away too. And then the singing started, which took some getting used to, because no, this wasn't you. But it was a beautiful voice that could sing your beautiful lyrics with great feeling. That was truly amazing.
Still, I always have to get used to working with Suno, among others. But that's because I always want to do it myself, and luckily, I still can. Let me leave it at that for now...
You've created a truly beautiful song, James. Kudos!!!
Hans

It's a very beautiful song, but while SUNO give an exceptional final polish, I wouldn't want to use it myself.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
