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.
