This is much closer to how I wrote it. I expected Tom Petty, but did not expect The Byrds my back pages or mmr tambourine man...lol It means every song it does is borrowing from something. I still prefer my own, I just can't record like this. What y'all think ? https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14982496Genius in Jeans Well, she's a genius when she walks a genius when she talks a groove so sweet She could make world peace and everybody grows from all the things she knows she's a genius in jeans she's a genius and it's rubbin off on me I saw her at that brand new Target store Reaching for the top row go one more She glided down and said "Man , these ain't cheap" I said '"I only got a peak" She walked away with heels like death's been beat I'd love to live forever at her feet I let her go, but hey yo, I don't know... I saw her intellect glow Well, she's a genius when she walks a genius when she talks a groove so sweet she could make world peace and everybody grows from all the things she knows she's a genius in jeans she's a genius And it's rubbin off on me Next week at the mall and there she goes breaking up a fight between two big bros All she had to do was walk on by They had denim in their eyes Now, she's creating jobs here in this town She could run for Mayor Win hands down she could solve a problem One, two, three Can you feel the relief? She's she's a genius when she walks a genius when she talks a groove so sweet She could make world peace and everybody grows from all the things she knows she's a genius in jeans she's a genius And it's rubbin off on me Well, she didn't go to Harvard but she's a bachelorette a master of movement a doctor of sweat She's a genius when she walks a genius when she talks a groove so sweet She could make world peace and everybody grows from all the things she knows she's a genius in jeans she's a genius and it's rubbin off on me

Does sound like Tom Petty , why don't you record it ? I wish AI would advance to a point where it will do what you want as opposed to you settling for what it wants. That was my biggest crit of band in a box, it was merciless in doing what IT wanted. Least with AI you can generate 500 takes to find something suitable. But what people think as great music with suno and Udio is just great sound and performances and production. If everybody had a weak song they'd all be level. But the better the lyric, story, emotion the better overall song . Melody Wise too. But I can't record something that SOUNDS as good as this

Depends who you use to get it all done . But your happy playing on Suno , I'm not going to change your mind .

I'm not using suno, and I'm not happy that I can't be influenced by Petty without BEING Petty Erie how it came out like Tom Petty and without me trying. I guess it knows melodies and structure and styles

Cost just one factor. But if you have 25 songs what makes more sense? Spending 1500 for each song, or paying next to nothing for any of them?
Particularly when there is no demand for your music
It's the work and time involved at home that scares me.

We always get in the same rut , You have to promote your self as the artist . 1500 is a bit high . Basic with 4 to 5 pro session players is about 500 or so and you sing it . Yes we all know Suno you can not promote as an artist is penny's. Yes it scary . but rewarding. So that song is using a Hammond Organ bass drums electric guitars and BGV's . 5 session players would do it , or 4. The trick is a great guitar player like Nicky V , he can also chart it out . it's not that much work really. Time consuming , yes

Had A listen and for me it is too long ever though I think it was decent and pleasing to the ear and the lyric really kelp my interest with it's story line for line. To be honest I wanted to hear this song again. I like the vocal take and over all performance. Nice song.

Irwin Hey Irwin how's it going? Yeah, I agree it might be too long, I'm not happy with the bridge. I think the chorus is killer. I actually think I could revamp this with my own musical take and beat this version. But I may not get the recording quality. Appreciate you stopping in my friend. Hope your music is going well.
