[Verse 1]

Don't be scared

Don't you cry

Dry those tears

From your eyes, now honey

I'll be right here

By your side

Through thick and thin

Just take your time

[Chorus]

I'm the man,

I'm the man who loves you

I'll keep you safe

I'll get you through

I'll fight off anything

That tries to hurt you

A rattlesnake

A rabid dog

A memory

A heart too strong

[Chorus]

I'm the man,

I'm the man who loves you

I'm the man,

I'm the man who loves you

[Solo]

[Verse]

It'll be ok

It'll be alright

Try to get some sleep

Tonight, my darlin'

No need to read

Between lines

When you need me I'm the one

You can rely on

[Out chorus]

I'm the man, I'm the man

I'm the man, I'm the man

I'm the man, I'm the man

Who loves you

Who loves you

I'm the man Who loves you

I'm the man Who loves you

[Verse 1]

Don't be scared

Don't you cry

Dry those tears

From your eyes, now honey

I'll be right here

By your side

Through thick and thin

Just take your time

[Chorus]

I'm the man,

I'm the man who loves you

I'll keep you safe

I'll get you through

I'll fight off anything

That tries to hurt you

A rattlesnake

A rabid dog

A memory

A heart too strong

[Chorus]

I'm the man,

I'm the man who loves you

I'm the man,

I'm the man who loves you

[Solo]

[Verse]

It'll be ok

It'll be alright

Try to get some sleep

Tonight, my darlin'

No need to read

Between lines

When you need me I'm the one

You can rely on

[Out chorus]

I'm the man, I'm the man

I'm the man, I'm the man

I'm the man, I'm the man

Who loves you

Who loves you

I'm the man Who loves you

I'm the man Who loves you

Why would anyone write a song called "Cheeto Dust On My Tank Top"? Because their daughter called them at 11pm from the train with her friends laughing and said "You need to write a song called Cheeto Dust on Your Tank Top"! It was one of the first songs I've completed in collaboration with Suno AI. I gave it my first verse and chorus and it did a really nice arrangement. Kind of sounds like Bruno Mars.

I gave it the words for the bridge without the meloday and what it came up with is something I would have never come up with. I'm learning a little about modern song structure. For better or worse, not a lot of harmonic variation. They differentiate sections with Melody and Rhythm . I suppose because everthing is looped these days.

It did, however, put this Eb chord in the bridge that I would have never thought of. I like to have some hope in every song no matter what, and that Eb adds some hope.

[verse 1]

Cheeto dust on my tank top

I got on two different color socks

My hair's a mess and I'm feeling so stressed

It's gonna be one of those days

[verse 2]

My coffee's cold in a paper cup (ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

Called my boss but she don't pick up (ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

And I guess I'll be late to the job that I hate

It's gonna be one of those days

[Chorus]

One of those days

When I feel like I will never win

One of those days

Where I wonder how to begin again

One of those days

Where I feel like I just don't fit in

One of those days

One of those days

One of those days

[Bridge]

I know I can't let this go on forever (I know, I know, I know)

I know I need to finally get my shit together (I know, I know, I know)

[Guitar solo over verse]

[Chorus]

One of those days

When I feel like I just scrape along

One of those days

Where it just all feels wrong

One of those days

When I don't quite feel that I belong

One of those days

One of those days

One of those days

[Verse]

People keep texting me words of advice

Drives me crazy but they're trying to be nice

They like to say, where there's a will there's a way

It's gonna be one of those

It's gonna be one of those

It's gonna be one of those days

[verse 1]

Cheeto dust on my tank top

I got on two different color socks

My hair's a mess and I'm feeling so stressed

It's gonna be one of those days

[verse 2]

My coffee's cold in a paper cup (ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

Called my boss but she don't pick up (ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

And I guess I'll be late to the job that I hate

It's gonna be one of those days

[Chorus]

One of those days

When I feel like I will never win

One of those days

Where I wonder how to begin again

One of those days

Where I feel like I just don't fit in

One of those days

One of those days

One of those days

[Bridge]

I know I can't let this go on forever (I know, I know, I know)

I know I need to finally get my shit together (I know, I know, I know)

[Guitar solo over verse]

[Chorus]

One of those days

When I feel like I just scrape along

One of those days

Where it just all feels wrong

One of those days

When I don't quite feel that I belong

One of those days

One of those days

One of those days

[Verse]

People keep texting me words of advice

Drives me crazy but they're trying to be nice

They like to say, where there's a will there's a way

It's gonna be one of those

It's gonna be one of those

It's gonna be one of those days

“Sorry Now” is a cinematic pop ballad by Vela Rae (Written by Rick Vines) about finally seeing the truth after a breakup. It’s the moment when the illusion of love fades and the past no longer holds power. The song follows someone who once begged for the relationship to work, only to realize later that what they were clinging to wasn’t real for either person

[Verse 1]

My world turned blue

When I lost you

You said that I should just get over it

[Verse 2]

Now here you are

Falling apart

You know it's too late for apologies

[Chorus]

But you're sorry now

You say you're the one who paid the price

You should take your own advice and stop your crying

[Verse 3]

You look so sad

I understand

I walked the road you have ahead of you

[Chorus]

So you're sorry now

You say you will make it up to me

You want me to believe, but you know you're lying

[Bridge]

Once you finally face the truth you'll see

That what you really wanted wasn't me

You need to wake up from that dream

[Verse 4]

We can't go back

To what we had

It's all now just a fading memory

[Chorus]

So you're sorry now

You say you would offer any price

You’d make any sacrifice, you should just stop trying
