Your heart never stops looking for love Yes it does when you've got your mind's eye closed You think you're going crazy quit telling me what to think how can you be so blind when you think its all in your mind you're not smart enough to get into my head
Try this... My heart never stops looking for love When my mind's eye is closed I think I'm going crazy How could I be so blind I must be losing my mind
I had every chance to see the warning signs I always told myself it was all in my mind It's just an illusion A little girl's confusion But it's not in my mind It's in my heart

Well I did have a SM58 but it wouldn't plug into my computer.. lol I heard Nashville is one big Condo coup now , probably works well with robot songs. I wonder if County Q studio is still around, Session players like Danny Dugmore. Don't play them fancy chords this is country music. I have to fly out to the west coast and work with Graham Nash , he knows nothing about music , oh yeah I said. Paul the owner has to chop wood to feel manly , Love songs drive him nuts

I guess Nashville got run over by investors building condos everywhere , Blue bird never had a condo project next to it, Well ya fell for Suno , well every body has , why not. Last time I was there is when Jesus take the wheel hits the charts , and sitting in a publishers meeting can you beat that, No I can't, Well come back when you can. Last I heard Nashville publishers do not take AI songs ,With all the changes going on , they might someday

Since I wrote the melody and the lyrics, it's not an AI song. It's just a better voice than mine (but very close!)

AI could never create the melodies that I do, and it would never create the lyrics I do. So I have to tell you, that's not correct. I don't even co-write with other people, because I know what the song is supposed to be about, I just want to know if I communicated it properly and if not, then I do a re-write. The melody is what delivers the lyric, AI melodies are trash if you ask me, I just use it because I don't have drums and someone to sing harmony with. Most of the ones I've done with Suno the voice sounds incredibly close to my own (although my voice has more passion).
In addition, I have all my work tapes, some of them 15-20 years old, so nobody can tell me AI created anything I have done.

You wrote the melody and lyrics , The robots did the rest , Its a cover Suno song, Quiet common now. Did you sing it play all the instruments ? No the robots did , its no big deal alot people do that now

Look, if I have the melody and lyrics and go to a demo studio OTHER musicians are gonna add things, background singers are going to add things I didn't think of, but it's my song. Are studio musicians robots?

Are studio musicians robots? No they are not , But suno songs are robots , You can take the song , Have Nash guys do the Nashville number system , figure it out in about 10 minutes . Off you go they track it , you sing it , add the BGVS ect ect and you got a song... you can pitch to publishers or market it as the artist. Country music is not exactly Beethoven. it's still 3 chords and the truth with great production ideas , Ask your session players what they think of robot songs. you might consider bringing a bat

I am not disagreeing with what you're saying, but everytime you use the word "robot"... it feels insulting to me. Cus frankly, lots of studio musicians are robots just using tired old licks and riffs, just like a robot would. so what's the difference?

A Session player is a human with a family to support , AI is nothing but circuits and wires for a penny . most folks don't like the word robots. But thats what they are. Tired old licks well get new session players , you can swing a cat and hit 50 of them , Maybe a hungry kid playing 10 hours a day

Ok, your argument then is.... if I write a letter in cursive but a typewriter changes the way it looks to make it better that the typewriter created it?

Look Suno songs cost one penny to make , A studio song cost about $700.00 with you singing and you can use it to pitch to publishers and promote as the artist. I'm not sure how more clear I can make it. What else ya wanna know , I've been at this awhile. Maybe cheaper flights back to Calif when a publisher says you suck. Bless your heart of course

Ben
The lady is a good writer. I've seen her songs on another site that doesnt allow endless arguments. Dont jack her up about robots. Let her do what she does, however that is. In addition to all that, she is in Nashville writing songs and can speak to that with the personal experience of being there.
I go to an open mic and people obliviously embarass themselves. She goes where real talent is in long supply.
Dont toss "robot" in her face, until like most others that are actually any good, she decides that this site isnt worth feeling harasssed every time she puts up a song.
If you think its better without robots, then do it without robots.
Live, Let Live.

Ummmm , sir, I've been doing this for over 30 years, the hard way, writer's nights, gigs, networking and just because something costs more doesn't make it "better" and there are lots of demo studios that will take your money to create a really crappy song. And since I've been here on this forum since 2001, you can look up every song I have ever posted for over 20 years.
You just sound angry and please don't California up my Tennessee. ( and yup, I lived in California too, it's a cesspool)

Ben is not actually angry, I dont believe. He is "loopy" and comes off as angry until you get used to him. Robots scare him. Apparently since he was a child.

Hey, just to prove my point go give me your critique of THAT'S WHERE YOU WERE and I posted my original demo (which is horrible) and the one I made today.
I'm thrilled to be able to hear clear vocals instead of my nervous voice trying to sound great on a $5.00 microphone.
Come on, tell me what you think of the SONG<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
