lyrics SS : music/vocals Ai
[verse 1]
Without you, there beside me,
I would have been, long dead.
Didn't have, the will to fight,
all those demons, in ma head.
[verse 2]
It's easy to give up, surrender,
to the promises of Utopia.
Leave behind, all them troubles,
that keep on, botherin' ya.
[chorus]
Been a long trip, back from hell,
each step, it made me suffer.
Made it, through a cloud of pain,
one foot, before the other.
[verse 3]
The path, to redemption is long,
an' the hardest step, is the first.
Demons wait, 'round every bend,
with a glass, to slake that thirst.
[chorus]
Been a long trip, back from hell,
each step, it made me suffer.
Made it, through a cloud of pain,
one foot, before the other.
[bridge]
The withdrawal fits, an' shakes,
test your willpower till it breaks.
No amount, of self-restraint,
will turn your devils, into saints.
[final chorus]
Been a long trip, back from hell,
each step, it made me suffer.
Made it, through a cloud of pain,
one foot, before the other.
[outro]
Even years, after you've quit,
you'll still be craving, a hit.
Is it gonna end, you wonder,
one foot, before the other.

@sidshovel - who hasn't been there.. the music suits the lyrics. you should try other genres and really mix it up. maybe polka next time :)

I'd love to Bill, but I'm not musically inclined, so I'd probably make a mess of it. But I shouldn't care too much about that so I'll give it a go with the next half dozen, and see how it pans out.
Thanks for your guidance, always appreciate your wisdom.

@sidshovel - neither am I.. I have a minimal understanding, which is why I let whatever Suno produces work :)

Pretty much my strategy, Bill. I've only ever viewed the output from Ai as something to hang the lyrics on.

I love the lyrics and melody. I feel I needed more from the chorus not as far as the lyrics, but from the music standpoint. I know this probably isn't making sense since I'm a listener and not a music guru. My apologies.
Lyrics are well written and I'm looking forward to your next song.

@TammyB, I don't know the first thing about music except what I like an' dislike. As such, I tend to go with what sounds o.k. rather than what's the best.
Replayed this one and you're right, the chorus falls short, needed a bit more "umph" to make it stand out.
Really appreciate the feedback, I'll watch out for that in future.
My thanks again,
Sid

Chorus works for me , it's just going to the one chord which is Dminor flat. The free version is a little fuzzy compared to V 4
Sounds good Sid

Thanks Elvis, using a more advanced Ai, moved on from Suno, a while ago.

@sidshovel Pretty song. Not what I expected musically as I was reading the lyric but I like what you did with it.
