I'm a big fan of Fountains of Wayne,great new Jersey pop rock band. Clever lyrics, great melodies.
This seems to me how they woulda done this, and quirky enough they might have..
Indian Giver Summer

sounds good , Indian Giver in 24 politics ? Perhaps Got admit , them damn robots are good. Unless your promoting song to the bad world on saying Indian giver , It really does not matter . that reminds me of a story... Tim broke out as a artist with this , all press is good press , he got flak on it . But that was along time ago , Saying Indian giver in 2024 , you would be pelted by people , But your never going to promote it , so all just conjecture .
Fdem, what role did you play in this song? I assume you used Udio or Suno. Are these your chords? With meta-tags both AI tools support chord progression, for example: Chord progression: [Am] [F] [G] [Em]
Alternatively, your own chords can be used like this: (Am) The night is dark and cold, (F) whispers in the air, (C) Shadows dance around, (G) in this place of despair.
Did you use the vowel-vowel-vowel technique for creating longer, melodious words in the chorus, like this: goo-o-o-odbye
Did you apply parentheses anywhere to add a second or third vocal layer automatically: E la cha-cha-cha (cha)
Did you use any structural tags? For example: [Intro] Slow guitar strumming [Verse] Whispered lyrics here [Chorus] Powerful vocal rise [Outro] Fading piano melody
Did you use any instrumental or vocal tags, like these: [Verse] Lost in the rhythm [Guitar solo] A mesmerizing guitar piece [Chorus] [Female Vocal] Echoing the main theme
These AI tools are pretty powerful and allow you to be extremely creative. How creative were you in this song or did a robot do everything for you? I'm just asking questions because you never share with us how you create your songs.
Your intro doesn’t sound too hot, but if you like it ... great.
I really like the "prechorus" musical interlude. I assume you used AI. You don't say anywhere that is so. We all here know...but some visitor might not.
I really like your writing. I assume you are the writer. When did you write It?
You have a problem (IMO) with the slang you use, though: I had to look up the term, came across this article:
Ok, I understand. You wrote the lyric and pressed a button a couple of times, downloaded it and made it available. Yes, very substantial. You forgot to mention the creative robots. They wrote the music, created the chord progressions, the melody, they sang vocals, backing vocals, made the arrangement, played the instruments, mixed everything ... you say that's not substantial. I don't get it, but never mind. Btw, I never said this song wasn't good.
Yes, the lyrics are creative. But you said your role was very substantial. You wrote the lyrics, pressed a button, downloaded a file and made it available. Very substantial? You were not involved in this musically even though you could have been.

Oh your back to that are you?
Why do my songs come out better than yours, every time?

I get the combination of phrases, though I doubt the majority of people would.
The 1st vignette in the song seems to be about a wedding that did not go well. Dad wrecked it. The 2nd vignette is about a woman left out of her father's will Then the singer mentions the person that they were singing the song to.. found and lost ...at the end of the song.
I guess that the song is about bad things that can happen over a long hot summer, but these vignettes about "indian givers" don't have any real glue that compellingly holds them together. I'm left wondering what the binding common denominators are and "takeaway" is.
Stated another way...what is the point of the song?
As for the AI generated music in this song (robots), it seems overly choppy and rushed. Feels synthetic and not human to me.
Ah, this explains the song.

Title may have be a little obscure and contrived to spawn a song.
"Indian giver" is a pejorative expression The phrase is used to describe a negative act or shady business dealings. It is considered disrespectful, and its use is offensive to many Indigenous people
Creators of music have a responsibility to their craft. When they have finished using all the notes and words, they must pass them down to the next generation with a simple request. “Use these to create new music.”...Steven McDonald
The song is obviously tongue n cheek, combining two phrases that you wouldn't ever say, but work in a song.
Everybody has a general knowledge of what buth terms mean, and understand them, enough to get the song.
Your writing to general understandings not to historical facts,because your singing to people not to books.
Now, if you're offended by the phrase, ok, I can't make you not be. Obviously not intended
Understood it's derogatory, but every rap song you heard says nigga and ho, and your talking offensive?
As far as historically ignorant.
I'd say it's pretty clear that Columbus did NOT discover America.
Didn't t stop Bruce from writing he did
Well now Columbus he discovered America even though he hadn't planned on it He got lost and woke up one morning when he's about to land on it He wouldn't of got out of Italy, man that's for sure, Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore Shouting "Stand on it, go ahead man, stand on it"
