Hi Ron, This is a perfect pop song: good, fun lyrics, a great band and an infectious beat. The mix and production are first class (I especially enjoyed the guitars panned left and right). MIke BTW I really enjoyed a comment you posted on Marty's "The Police of Mind": "I can remember when we could agree to disagree on most any topic. Now, it's all a grimly played game without a winner." Well said. It pretty much sums up where the world (or some parts of it) is at the moment. All the best, Mike

Rharv, didn't read your post as a dig at RB. You totally misread my remark and if you did, so will others. it's best I take my post down. BIAB and RB are a team - RB doesn't need a defense nor does BIAB. My post was about workflow, which seemed to be on topic at the time. No problem, .my fiend, I took care of it.

You're really on a roll, Hans. The production is primo. Vocal was perfect for the subject matter. To my ears, this is pretty much the same chord progression you've been using for quite a while, but it's a good one. I'm so happy your surgery turned out well. We would not like to lose your talent.

DC RON. you mentioned 'breadcrumbs'... finally found in my song vault after 3 hrs search...lol. it all came back to me. THE WHOLE THING WAS A FUDGE.... ...style used was _RKMDBM2.sty...BUT... ...i deleted some instruments eg geetars...and ...subbed in for example TEKNODRUMS in other words to summarise... i heavily modified the style to make it teckno/modern. actually...and its all coming back to me... a pg user awhile back said pg apps cant do 'modern'. so challenge accepted...to be fair the song wasnt a 'wham bang' 10 minute job. it was intricate detailed work...but what the hey... i love a challenge...lol. hope this helps...sorry it took awhile to reply to you... but i'm going through some minor medical stuff. PS...ANDREW DEE. apologies...yes both bb and rb were used on the song. happiness. om

Good song, good vocal. The lyrics don't rhyme, were they originally in French? Good job with this.

I don’t use AI in songwriting or recording/mixing. The closest I’ve come is asking Copilot to give me 5 lyric themes (then the full lyric writing is mine) and twice I think I have used Copilot to suggest some lines when I was running dry and needed another verse. In one song, I uploaded a 5 second vocal to Resing and got it to convert it to a female voice, but that’s it. I write all my own music and lyrics and do all my own production and arrangement, and BIAB can be anywhere from 10 to 100% of the band. Vocals are always my own. I’m not a great singer or guitarist, and I step out of my comfort zone regularly when recording these. I prefer the idea of the human behind the music and even if that human is flawed, I like the idea that an imperfect artist has created a song with their own imagination and with the tools and skills available to them. AI results (e.g. Suno) are certainly impressive, and I understand why it is attractive for a writer to hear what it has done with their song that they couldn’t, but for me, I place a higher value on what I can do myself, even if it might not seem as polished.

A magnificent masterpiece, Magnificent Mario! I soooooo envy you being able to mimic bassoons and oboes! Thanx Chay for taking the time to listen and comment on my song. If you get the Swam Double Reed package, https://audiomodeling.com/swam-engine/solo-woodwinds/swam-double-reeds/ and a keyboard controller with programmable sliders and/or knobs I'm sure you could produce great oboe and bassoon tracks..

Hi Paul to meet and see you, That sounds clear and well mixed to me. A really fine song and loved your mellow vocals. Great work, kind regards. Hi K-Dub Ya, thank you. It's always encouraging to get positive feedback. People on this forum are really kind and generous. This song went through the mill mostly because the final master mix after mixdown never matched what I had in the DAW. I think it was down to the compression pulling out the reverb and making it stand out more than I wanted. In the end I turned down the reverb and it came out better so I stopped and went live, so to speak.

I enjoyed the optimism of the lyrics. You've sung this well, and you hit the high notes effortlessly. Band sounds good. Thanks Ezekiel. I try to live optimistically, as hard as that can be, these days..... Living in the woods and walking daily on the trails with my dogs helps keep me sane in this insane world. Music helps too.

This is a BRILLIANT song and production! Like your song, "Our Town" it reminds me of Neil Young's style on the "Colorado" album. As I wrote on the "Our Town" post, that's a massive compliment as both you and NY are prolific songwriters, albeit that you each have unique and original perspectives. If you had NY's dosh you could produce world class songs with amazing productions - though this new song of yours is exceptional as it is. Freakin' well done! And of course, Joliz' harmony vocals are perfect for it.

Wow, the arrangement and instrumentation in this song is really incredibly good! A really enjoyable ride, even though Satanyahoo gets a mention!  Danish Jan Oberg who founded the Transnational Foundation for Peace & Future Research is an FB contact, so I hear a lot about the far right there and neighbouring lands. The Foundation has come up with really good new systems for peace talks and solving other international squabbles, but when they've managed to get a UN meeting, foreign ministers appear to introduce their representatives and then vanish as they have no interest in peace and their rep's are only there to report back how 'dangerous' the new ideas for peace talks are for the arms trade and secret services! The artificial world is insane and the politicians are crazier!

It's a very beautiful song, but while SUNO give an exceptional final polish, I wouldn't want to use it myself.
