For a short time, I had a bit of a problem with song writing - and took to writing poetry. I could write on so many themes/subjects which I would never consider for a song. This is a very good example. Little things from everyday life, suddenly became fair play . I did in fact find myself in just this situation. I had retired from my day job early (on very good terms which my employer was offering to those who wanted voluntary redundancy. I took a part time job to get me through a couple of years and on one night a week I found myself working until late - a Thursday. This is a true story but the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

I think I am beginning to repeat my themes - must try harder! A guy has been watching this lonely girl and and is worried about "chatting her up". Find answers in the lyric...

Midnight Undertow (cover) -2b by John Dyhouse

One of those lyrics (yes another) which took a long time to surface although I had a title. A short lyric when finally written, but I decided to use an unusual structure; Verse, verse, chorus, instrumental bridge followed by a repeat of the whole thing and then a final chorus. I was admittedly being lazy, but I hope you think it worked. It certainly works for me.

Sometimes, I have to really sweat over my lyrics! This lyric was originally written with a heavy rock genre in mind, but the flow of the words simply did not help ....?

I finally did an almost complete rewrite, and changed to this "strange genre", which I think finally gave me something to be proud of. I hope you will also find it to your liking. My apologies to any country fans if you think it is a step too far!

Loved the instrumental version and decided to do something I had not yet attempted in Suno; most of my songs/music starts with a lyric, so I thought this was a great opportunity to attempt to add a lyric to a purely instrumental track. As this was experimental, I simply asked Suno to write a lyric and specified a title. Well maybe because it is a simple blues, both version seemed acceptable. I chose one version and clicked on CREATE. Again, as with the instrumental cover I was really blown away. So here is a rare track where I have not been at least mostly responsible for the lyric. I love it, hope you do to.

Another cover of an original recording. Another track from the past. A solo guitar with an auto, keyboard percussion track which just never melded together. But for some strange reason I kept with my early recordings. Although using just a simple blues chord sequence, just on a whim, I decided to see what Suno's AI could make of it. WOW blew my mind, absolutely love it. So here it is for you delectation...

A duet, the song tells a story of love and hope for the future - Using a Suno Persona; a male and female duet which I have named, "Just-in-love"

A "soft" rock version of this song, which was originally written with something else in mind, Hope you like it?

This is a cover (Suno) of a piece sequenced and recorded by John Dyhouse using ACID software. For further info see description of the album.
