Ok, I thought I’d give these AI songwriting tools a try. I entered an old song lyric “Did You Get What You Want” (a song I recorded with Andrew Gold in 2004) in Suno. It took less than a minute to generate the track. I uploaded the file to my DAW and rearranged it a bit. That took about another 10 minutes. Pretty amazing stuff and the new song is as catchy as my original.

https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14800254

Did You Get What You Want


(Verse 1)
I can’t get you off my mind it hurts so much
The way you treat me, it makes life so rough
Look what you’re doing
Who are you fooling
Oh no, not me

(Verse 2)
We’ve known each other for so many years
We laughed a lot and we shed many tears
Is there nothing that we can mend
Something that has to end
Just wait and see

(Pre-chorus)
Where’s the guiding light
To my destiny
Where’s the guiding light
Where’s it leading me
Where’s the guiding light
Guide us to the place where we should be

(Chorus)
Did you get what you want
Did you find what you’re looking for
Can’t you see that you’re playing
A game you can’t win and now you’re losing me
Did you get what you want
Did you find what you’re looking for
Can’t you see that you live
In a world that’s for real
And now our dreams are gone
So did you get what you want

(Verse 3)
You only met this guy the other day
I never thought that you would go astray
What are you doing
Who are you fooling
Well no not me

(Verse 4)
He’s using you in such an obvious way
You know his love is gonna fade away
Look what he’s doing
Who is he fooling
No, not me

(Pre-chorus)
Where’s the guiding light
To my destiny
Where’s the guiding light
Where’s it leading me
Where’s the guiding light
Guide us to the place where we should be

(Chorus)
Did you get what you want
Did you find what you’re looking for
Can’t you see that you’re playing
A game you can’t win and now you’re losing me
Did you get what you want
Did you find what you’re looking for
Can’t you see that you live
In a world that’s for real
And now our dreams are gone
So did you get what you want

(Verse)
He’s using you in such an obvious way
You know his love is gonna fade away
Look what he’s doing
Who is he fooling
No, not me

(Chorus)
Did you get what you want
Did you find what you’re looking for
Can’t you see that you’re playing
A game you can’t win and now you’re losing me
Did you get what you want
Did you find what you’re looking for
Can’t you see that you live
In a world that’s for real
And now our dreams are gone
So did you get what you want

Weak lyrics,

Where's my guiding light is pretty good, should probably be your title

The rest is econobuy.

You jump in my threads and criticize, you don't realize that what the lyric is saying triggers the music.

Your not understanding what fire needs to be in the song before you do it

It's not just typing any dumb lyric.

But I suspect you haven't tried this till now or probably have with bad results.

It's because you think you can hide the lyric, but without interesting lyrics, there's no interest

Everything I've done is better

Do whatever it is you do, this will never be good without good lyrics and interesting ideas

These lyrics have been played on radio stations around the world. On some stations the original song (with the exact same lyrics) made it on their hot rotation list and it got played 6x per day.

alot of shite gets played on radio . sometimes the production ir singer carries it.

But your posting on a Songwriter site asking if this is any good. it's equal to every below mediocre song there is, lyrically and musically.

Doesn't really matter how you did it.

And I have to admit, I'm not entirely convinced this was on radio...

Like internet radio with 5 listeners?

Internet radio, haha! Nope, these were big radio stations.
Fdem, you can't win them all and be right all the time. Andrew Gold (Thank You For Being A Friend, Lonely Boy, Never Let Her Slip Away, etc.) thought my demo was so good that he invited me to his studio in L.A. and we recorded it together. But... not this AI version, my original with the same lyrics and my music composition.

Hey Rob....here's a little reality....some people can't get their relatives to listen to their songs...you got one of the great record producers to listen to and..wait for it...RECORDED THE SONG WITH YOU....then it got air play....impressive stuff
You're just trying out AI
You see, Rob, songwriters know who Andrew Gold was..

Thanks Steve. Like most songwriters here you know who Andrew was. Fdem has probably never heard of him before. And he claims he's a songwriter.

I know who he is, not sure what it has to do with you

Hey I was offered a record contract when I was 20 years old, tiny label, I recorded tracks with Tommy James producer , i did tracks with master musicians, had the bass player who worked with David Byrne.

I had a piano player who worked with chaka khan

New Jersey is very tight nit, I've recorded in dinky studios that Springsteen has been in, see his picture on the walls.

Here's the bigger reality, none if it means shite.

Rob

In one of his posts Gavin suggested that we not feed the troll.
I think that he was on to something.

This morning when I looked at the latest ramblings, the viewers in GEN DISCUSSION and MP3 were both under 100. 80s and 90s. That is the lowest that I can remember seeing. MP3 bumped up to 106 when you and Dom started exchanging insults.

My suggestion:
Let Dom have it.
If the admins and Brian are going to let Dom take over the site, then let it be Dom's exclusively.
Let's see where the viewership goes at JPDOM.com

Fdem,
it's amazing to hear with how many top notch professionals you've worked/recorded with. I find it even more amazing that none of them helped you record any of your songs. What does all of that have to do with my song here?

Equally amazing you worked with Andrew Gold.

Rob,

It's very pop sounding and on par with a lot of what I used to hear on the radio (back when I still wasted my time listening to it). It's a catchy chorus and cool beat that will resonate with a lot of listeners. Not exactly my genre, but it works well and it's impressive AI could generate this so quickly at such a high level of production. Good stuff!
