  • Very cool song, the tempo, and vocals gave it a very Dylanish feel for me. Love that line about wearing different shoes it kind of illustrates his different stages of life all by itself. Your vocals were right where they needed to be for this peek i…
  • Thanks Elvis, I get it about AI and agree it's another tool but it does feel like cheating to me. Before a couple weeks ago I didn't even know it was possible.

    This song was the first time I tried it and part of me says what's the diff…
  • Renee, thank you, merry Christmas you you as well.
  • Three chords and the truth right there maybe more. I've been working 7 days a week for months and sometimes the day to day mundane of it all starts scuffing up your soul so I def related to this one. Nice work Renee
  • This was my first experience with AI, I absolutely write my own lyrics and have a melody in mind at the very least, just don't have the ability to play and sing. If it's forbidden I'm happy to abide. But it does feel like cheating
  • Koro AI is the app, the guitar I got from a guy in California on EBay who makes crazy looking guitars 15 years ago.

    On the app I selected the style and genre and it did the rest. I'm curious how people feel about using apps to create th…
  • This left me longing for the warm summer solstice kiss I know is coming. You captured the darkness of the winter
  • This reminded me that history is written by the victors, and we all need to question everything we are told. You're on to something here, we all need to open our eyes to others motivation.
  • WOW! I read the lyric first and liked it, then followed along again with the music, this was like a short story with music that I didn't want to stop reading. So many great lines and visuals, this could easily be a film score, or just listened to to…
  • As a lyrics and melody only type of guy I was interested to hear more about this AI assistance that is out there. This was done with an app on my phone, after 20 or so different versions this was closest to how I heard it in my head. Using AI makes …
  • Very nice! This one being inspired by 1st Kings reminded me that the more things change the more they stay the same, I have to say when you sang be merry, my mind went to a 50 year old man with a beard wearing a dress. Being Mary lol. Enjoyed it.…

  • Love this!

    Like the way you used this to lift to the chorus. "Pickin’ us off one by one

    Lookin’ to kill us all" I also like how you used a happy groove in the music to discuss such a sad commentary on humanity.

    I appreciate you…

  • Sid, that is dark man. That is some damn good writing, you made me feel what that person felt.

  • Renee, Sid, and Owen, thank you all for the suggestions and the encouragement.

    I will be using pickin' on the front porch and making the change to drop the ing. Drop inG tuning if you will lol.

    I also love the change to "I'm lovin' m…

  • This song made me think that heartbreak and rain are one in the same. Now there may be another song in there somewhere

  • This one is deep, the first verse blew me away when i read before listening. The funny thing is your melody came to me as I read it and that almost never happens. This is something to be proud of.

  • That was really cool, had a Beatles vibe to it to me. Have you thought of adding the roll over line after "In the middle of the night"?

  • I like to think Mike would have appreciated me recording the lyrics and melody acapella on my phone, posting it in the room, and two others jumping in to make it a song, he was all about the community coming together to help each other each with…

  • I have always loved Warren Haines, from his time with the Alman Brothers, to his current band Government Mule. What a great show if you get a chance to see them live.

    in What are you listening to? Comment by Barry December 2024

  • Sid,

    Great meeting you, I think Art used band in a box which is even outside my skill zone but the sentiment of the song made its way through I believe.

    I hope to see you around here, thank you for the kind words.

  • Renee, at the time Danny and Art were also active in the forum, so the vocals from Danny were honest as we all were hurting due to the loss of Mike. It's great to meet you too, I'm jealous of anyone who can play the guitar, at one time I had 4 of…

  • I read the lyric first, and was really looking forward to hearing the song, but like Mora said above the link is gone.

  • Words are powerful, and you put them on full display. The ukulele gave a subtle satisfying color to the song. Nice shade of blue.

  • I enjoyed the listen Renee, there is a lot of truth in this tune if we can't laugh about some of this stuff, we will all go crazy.

    No critiques to offer, really enjoyed it

  • Bowie,

    Very nice and polished, your vocals are way more than decent. It could just be me, but I got hung up on this line

    "First it pushed me, then it shoved me down" I couldn't help but think that it should have pulled you then shoved…

  • Just checking in ,I'm a new/old member from back in the Mike Frisby GBNF days as Redinfla. It's good to see the forum has survived, look forward to participating again as time allows.
