Samantha said...
There's a light in my window
An agonizing glow
No future ,no option, no prayer
My parents hate each other
A mistake that they suffer
Sits alone in her chair
Samantha said...
My window to the madness
The death and the sadness
Shows me a way, a purpose
An action without words
By a girl no one heard
To highlight the psycho circus
Samantha said...
My wicked window flickers
And shows me bloody pictures
As I slowly lose myself
I'm screaming as I type
For meaning in my life
But the world is going deaf
Samantha said...
It's not the world I want
This absurd repetition
I'd rather die than live a lie
I have to make them listen
Samantha said... they have to listen
Samantha said...
Angeles of higher learning
Their holy books are burning
Dreading wages in the night
I'll finally make the grade
As my blue window fades
Perhaps they'll see the light...
Samantha said...
It's not the world I want
This absurd repetition

You know damn well that my primary instrument is acoustic guitar.
Now, if I do anything remotely similar, I'll just be accused of plagiarizing a damn computer...
FUUK YOU, ELVIS! TAKE IT DOWN!

Ben,
If you value your account on Suno, you won't do that again without permission. They delete any accounts they catch doing that sort of thing.
I kinda get it as a joke, but if you're not careful who you target, it is a good way to get all your songs and account deleted and to be banned by that site.
Maybe you don't care, just letting you know they take it quite seriously.

This is a hard Lyric..... full of fear and desperation. A bit depressing.... not as depressing as having the thread hijacked.

Do you even remember Samantha?
She was just a kid who took a gun to a Christian school, killed some people, committed suicide, then 3 days later.... "POOF" no story here. O_o
That struck me as odd.
Regarding the "hijacking"...
This whole damn site was hijacked long ago!
Most here are just victims of their own twisted ideology.
Liberals desperately trying to justify their existence by waging war against "antiquated moral values", but they have no idea how to compensate for them.
De-fund law enforcement? Outlaw petroleum? Same problem! What's the alternative?
Doesn't matter... When logic gets in the way, they just re-define reality and re-write the dictionary. The argument is more important than the issue.
The beauty is, there's never any shortage of sane, well educated, Conservative Christians to blame.
Argument for the sake of anarchy... Just like the Bible plainly illustrates.
Go figure.

Go figure. Samantha? I didn't. I looked the story up, and am surprised it escaped my memory. I guess it's because they didn't report on it very much. Even while the gun could have been a hot issue for the Left, the victims and the perpetrator didn't fit the narrative agenda. And I couldn't define our problem with the Leftist Libs better than that. These internet music sites used to be a party I once walked into. Now, it’s a graveyard. Old posts, just headstones - haunting reminders of what once was. No one’s left, but the ghosts of those I once knew… nothing remains but the bitter spirit that led them to their grave.

I generally take pride in the fact that my body of work shows that I haven't changed. My spirit has remained true. I feel the same exact way. When I first started recording and posting in 2011, ALL the sites were brisk and vibrant. The air was good. But I have watched this air stale over some 14 years... mostly, over politics. This division isn't by accident, and it affects all of us. Can't tell anyone this... I've tried. All I get is mockery and the feeling that I am absolutely not welcome. And now, a new group has emerged, and they don't even write out a full songs. Just half-measures allowing A.I to do the rest. The lyrics need no craft, because A.I can write a melody and produce a song from a page out of the Black's Law dictionary, if prompted. And yet they revel and rave with what they think they've created. These internet music websites aren't even a shadow of what they once were. In fact, we are the shadows, Japov... for the children here to chase around with flashlights.

When I first met you over at SW101 (pre 2011 lol), I felt... I got the impression on that site, that BMI was actually "anti-DIY". It seemed to me that the "industry" didn't want people thinking that they could make their own music... or, you could, but it would never amount to anything. How many times did you hear MAB say, "The music industry is about relationships... it's not what you know, it's who you know. Without pro production and marketing, nobody will ever hear you." That's not to mention the necessary "identity politics" and political correctness associated with membership. Now, the "industry" has AI to contend with... I believe it's the industry itself that's killing DIY sites. They just don't want capable musicians to have such a convenient place to gather. And they certainly don't want conservatives to have a voice...

I remember Songwriting 101... I was primarily posting lyrics. They went the way of the dodo bird.
Well, here we are. The world is changing and losing its soul in the meantime. No one sees it.... in fact, my sentiments are laughed at. The world of songwriting is going the way where people aren't necessary. No one cares. LOL
Maybe it's for the better.... the egos of so many of us writing this junk is ridicules.

Well, coming from a musical family full of Conservative Christians lol...
I guess it's just difficult for me to give up on the comradery.
I keep thinking, one day, I might actually meet someone online who gets what I try to do... and wants to collab. But, you may be right; Websites, and even the industry, would rather fall on its own sword than re-think its political stance.

At this point, I've lost the enthusiasm for sharing my work. Mostly because of the vitriol elsewhere...
... here, JPF is more akin to a cemetery. There are a few good people here, but it's stale with the air of an old, abandoned mansion. I feel like I'm just a ghost here clanking cans and bottles trying to make some noise to get attention.
The only collaboration I was ever up for is with the people I can invite into my home... face to face.
Collabs are hard and almost always turns south.
To work with someone, in real time, is the ONLY way to do it.

I was not aware there was a story behind these lyrics. I just read the lyrics as is.
I think they are very good, and moving. Good job.

This one shows your versatility as a writer…so good. How to compose music to it, i don’t know.
Otherwise, I was shocked the Elvis did this. Did it to couchgrouch too…with two completely different results.
