Only you matter

Words - me; music - Suno

Was wondering how it would sound if Syd Barret wrote Time in a bottle 😀

Sorry sid.

Was trying to get pink floyd sound but after 10 attemps, this sounded the best :)

[Verse 1]

Scurrying scarabs, hide in bottles

Jelly belly Kronos, happily devours

Perpetual gobbles, years from days

Wanting all my stuff, flowering ours

[Verse 2]

Spending days, frolicking harmonies

Fishes swim streams, crystalline blue

Treasured dreams, sings butterfly wings

Wanting alldays, everydays with you

[Chorus]

Time slips, drips, melts faces

Tick tock, clock, endless chatter

Globe spins, allworld, rosy visions

Alltime, manytime, only you matter

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]

I have wishy box, a pretty box 

Empty dreams fully blue trues

Then one day, you leapt into my box

Now filled merrily, sharilly with you

[Verse 4]

The time we spend, it is good

Honey syrupy, beehived trees 

Suckling life's nectar, is sweet

Eternal moments, barefoot free

[Chorus]

Time slips, drips, melts faces

Tick tock, clock, endless chatter

Globe spins, allworld, rosy visions

Alltime, manytime, only you matter

Standing outside the rabbit hole listening to the music again!

It's a good sound nevertheless.

The other Sid

Thanks sid.. was listening to the madcap laughs, and thought that would be funny.. not as easy as it sounds :).. Sad story Syd's is.. but you can't do better than Shine on crazy diamond.. but I might try. he has an interesting story

ElvisNash

pretty abstract words , but that's your style with no commercial aspirations . I don't think anyone on this site has commercial aspirations. mostly just word puzzle songs

Sounds good Bill

@ElvisNash - there is and has been progressive / experimental rock for generations. lyrics more abstract than mine.. look at king crimson, some of steve wilson songs. granted not as popular as mainstream, but there is a very large underground following.. thanks for the comment. :)

ElvisNash

Good luck on promotion to get the views . Suno folks are creating channels. pretty easy to do .

RainyDayMan

I like the fast paced sound of it.

The melting faces puts me in mind of Dali.

@RainyDayMan - Thanks owen. tried to capture the surrealist writing of syd. not as easy I thought :)

I'm feeling the Congo drums through my speakers. I feel myself working out to this song. High energy.

I'm amazed you can find the right beat with 10 times generated. You're so lucky!

I like your dynamic song styles. You are not predictable. One of a kind.

I look forward to your next song! Great work as always.

@TammyB - thanks for the comment. that wasn't the beat I was going for.. I did some more prompts after I posted and found this was closer to what I was aiming for - https://suno.com/song/f6a9948c-5ffb-4e03-9d27-0bbdefb56554?sh=VxOLBSYD7OIJGffd

TammyB

@bhengen - both versions are great. Are you making both public?

I lean more toward the first version because of the Congo drums. :-)

bhengen

@TammyB - they should be public.

Beatnick

Nice. I really like the drums. It kind of reminded me a bit of later Queen musically.

bhengen

@Beatnick - thanks for the comment. I can see a tad bit of queen.

Beatnick

@bhengen It's more the drums than anything. It makes me think of something Roger Taylor would have done. A bit like "Don't Lose Your Head" or "Rain Must Fall."

bhengen

@Beatnick - not familiar with those two songs.. i'll have to look them up.. after the radio gaga album we stopped listening
