  • You should pitch this to William Shatner.

    I like the lyric and what Suno did with it. A kind of slow rap, or the kind of thing you might have heard some bloke in a black polo neck deliver in a smoky club in Greenwich Village in the 60s.

  • Well, it sounds great but hey, AI😏

    If I understand the lyric, you're on an army exercise in Greenland or Canada and don't see the point of it. I sense, this must come from personal experience? I was thrown by the reference to a sniper but f…

  • Great sound. Very professional production. It builds well in intensity. I love the choir. I enjoyed listening.

    For me, the melody was a little unimaginative. Also, I had a hard time making out the lyrics, especially in the chorus, which is …

  • @RainyDayMan I get what you're saying, but I think that there are quite a lot of songs here that are of commercia…

  • @IronKnee Thanks for listening. It is sad, yes. I thought the music was quite melancholy too, when I wrote it. Wistful…

  • I like this. It's an appealing lyric and there is a strong melody somewhat obscured by the delivery in places.

    The chorus is unusual in the way that it leaves us hanging, expecting a fourth line. I liked the way that the last chorus led int…

  • This reminds me of Chris De Burgh's "A Spaceman Came Travellling" in its tone. The difference is that that song stinks and yours doesn't, LOL.

    It's a good title/hook. I remember Desmond Moris' book of that name from way back in the '60s. I …

  • @ElvisNash I do a fair bit of cheating, but I think it's important to use one's own voice, with all its imperfectio…

  • This sounds really good. It's a really good song to begin with and Suno does a great job. Covering your own songs is the way to go.

  • I haven't weighed in much on the AI/Suno debate, but I think I did say once that this is the use of the technology that I am most comfortable with - covering you own songs. Write it, record it and then let Suno cover it. In a way, it's not hugely…

  • Thanks for listening (again), Owen. You seem to have got the meaning of the song pretty much spot on, although there is more than one way to interpret it.

    It was actually hard to put to music. I kept having ideas for harmonies, which actual…

  • @MoraAmaroLaLoba Thanks. Yes, it's basically the song with some tweaks in the production.

    Interest…

  • Thanks Sid. I don't believe in being obscure, but this one does reward a little thought, which I think can make a song more enjoyable. A bit of an aha moment 😊

    Do you read a lyric before listening? I never do that as I always like to experi…

  • @ElvisNash Thanks. Funny was all I was going for here. That and a sing-along chorus.

  • Well, Suno certainly goes all out on this one! Very Bowie, which can't be bad. For me a bit of an uncomfortable contrast between the dry scientific analogy you use for adultery (assuming I'm understanding it correctly) and the soaring emotionalis…

  • It's a good song, Elvis, nicely produced. Not one of my faves of yours because I like your own voice and the way you put across a lyric. That's unique. I've heard some of yours that should have been hits. This one is a bit less distinctively your…

  • Unusual choice of singer. I don't really think it works when allotments are such a British concept. I don't think they're a thing over here. In fact, you might need to explain the concept for your American friends here. You might want to give it …

  • I really like the video. The visuals pulled me in even more than others I've seen from you.

    The lyric has all your usual elusive poetic qualities. I didn't expect the musical accompaniment. I expected something more gentle. It's almost dist…

  • I love the lyric. Some great lines, including the one Owen pointed out. I also love:

    Time has marched right over me

    At first, I wasn't too keen on the lines that follow that one.

    I’m a shell of who I used to be

  • Nice, sad song. I agree with Owen that it would benefit a bit from a little more variation, either in a greater contrast between verse and chorus or a build in intensity.

    Using Alice in Wonderland is a great idea, hinting at the "second chi…

  • Very loose and natural sound. I like that. There's a melody there, even though it gets a bit lost sometimes in the delivery. Unusual to have such an abstract lyric in such a bluesy song. Blues is usually a very direct medium.

  • @arnabs Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening.

  • One of the better takes I have seen/heard on the subject, mostly because the message is presented so simply. "AI, May I" is a great hook. In a way, it's a pity it only appears at the end, although I understand why. Maybe you could add a short out…

  • You have a great voice. You should let it loose on something more emotional and immediate, less intellectual, like a love song. That voice could really work some magic with material like that! (Of course, you might have such songs that you have n…

  • This song is very silly indeed. Nothing wrong with a little nonsense every now and then 😄

  • Another great video, Mora. I agree with Sid, that the vocal could be turned up a bit, especially in the second half of the song.

    I particularly like this lyric. Very poetic without being obscure.

  • I got the gist of what the song was about, although my first thought was that it was infidelity that had been found out.

    It's a nice song. Maybe worth taking further production-wise? Do you use any tools like EQ and compression. I can't hel…

  • Hey Tom. The mistake with moot is that people use it to mean unimportant or irrelevant. That’s the way you seem to have used it here. If you look at the definitions you provided, you’ll see what I mean. I don’t think you mean to say that the crew di…
  • Well, I have a problem with "moot" most times I hear it used, because it's usually used wrongly, probably because it sounds like "mute." Looks like you have fallen into that trap, but a pedantic old fool like me might be the only kind of listener…
