I feel as if I am giving in to the Dark Side. The lyrics have been generated by Suno from a piece of prose describing the theme and what I wanted to say in the lyrics. I am so pleased with the final outcome and what Suno made of the section of prose which I supplied to Suno. The reason I did this was because I was experimenting with V6 and wanted some quick, fresh lyrics which I had not used before in Suno - I feel that once Suno has used a set of lyrics it is committed to memory. I wanted to avoid that for the experiments. I have several songs made this way, which I may upload to Sound Cloud from time to time, I do not intend to give up writing my own lyrics but this series has taught me what I could/should be doing. Anyway I hope you like it where ever the lyrics came from.

Again, a result of experimenting with Suno's new model; however this time back to using my own lyrics. The original title was "A house is not a home", then googling the idiom (a well known english phrase ), I found out that there was a song written by Bacharach and David in 1964, and recorded by several notable artists. Mmmmm, maybe the idea was dredged up from my early memories, so....... I decided to change the title and steer clear of the original lyrics . I did like the theme for a 50's Big Band style. Hope you like it.

This is a follow up from the last track uploaded, I used almost the same prompt for style but a different Voice. This is because I loved this experiment with Suno V6.

There is a story behind this song, for once it is autobiographical. Not something I normally do, in fact very unusual for me. I had been trying to write this sone for a while, but it just wouldn't work in the conversational style of the way I usually write lyrics. I had lots of attempted lyrics and additional notes, I tried something different with V6. I entered the ideas using prose... and simply asked Suno to "create" a song from that. Again Suno surprised me, I haven't even changed a line, not a word; I was so pleased with it.

usually, any lyrics I have used from Suno in the past have been heavily edited. But yes it covers my prose upload so well. I think of it as mine even tho' it is so different, a lot of work actually went into what I wanted to say. I don't think I will use this process again and certainty not as a matter of course. But if I fall into a similar hole, I might use Suno to pull me up. Any way, I hope you like the song for what it is.

Still experimenting with V6, the song I am covering here was one of the first I worked on with Suno V3.5. I have to admit in those early days |I was prompting for lyrics with a title and a few lines of the chorus &/or verse. I did however edit the resulting lyric to suit my style.. In this cover I was trying to generate vocal stacks ( I used several other songs hoping that I could enhance the vocal arrangements. I was a little disappointed with the results overall but this one I thought worked. I also used my own cloned Voice so It was not really suited to the genre, but here it is warts and all. Hope you like it.

A trial of the latest version, V6, of Suno. A cover of the song of the same name

Well after that little excursion I am back in more familiar territory. An alternative Rock number (do you know what the definition is?) a broken relationship seems to have run it's course, but has it really? Hope you like it.

And now for something completely different! (apologies to Monty Python - again).

I have set many of my poems music with Suno, but most of my poetry was quite short and this had left me unable to use it. UNTIL I came across this: https://soundcloud.com/re-ma-614543942/prague-by-renata-stefa-ska . Thanks for the idea Renata!

A haiku for those who are not sure is a 3-line japanese poetry form, with lines specified as containing 5,7 and 5 syllables. They do not usually rhyme. This track brings together seven, almost unrelated haiku with free-form prose sections, interspersed throughout, which attempt to bring the haiku sections together. I believe it has worked quite well with a traditional japanese musical back ground.

A latin alternative rock song with orchestral rock vibes. I am now using my cloned voice almost exclusively with the Suno AI songs. The funny thing is I had started to hear what I thought was my voice on other tracks recently, it is difficult to be objective because you can alter any voice/persona by prompting. E.g. set the required voice and then prompt for tenor/bass or baritone; husky/rough or any number of descriptors. But after this song, I was listening to, for a last time before downloading and blow me if I did not hear the next related song with a very clear rendition with my own voice. What a coincidence? I checked the prompts for this "related" song and would you believe the guy generating this had used my cloned voice, The name and graphic icon even checked. And what's more the prompts for his song were unaltered from the prompt associated with the cloned voice. So the song even sounded like one of mine. I knew this could happen but to see it there in black and white (as it were) was amazing. Should I be angry or accept it and be flattered?

I have always liked this song, but decided that I would cover the original version, already posted on Sound Cloud, but using my cloned voice. - I would love to go back and do this with all my favourites, but.....

Anyway, I hope you like this version, I will say however that I cannot sing like this, though I have been practicing a few of the Suno generated versions, for my own enjoyment. These are me and my guitar/ukulele only. I shall post some of them when I feel happy with them.

It has been a while since I have deviated from a similar style prompt, Well here it is. No special reason for sticking to a particular style, it just happened while I was experimenting with fairly minimal differences in some style descriptions. However, I felt a need for raising the tempo for this "Latin - Jazz" version of an alternative rock track.
