Obviously not a radio hit, but could be a great sync song? https://suno.com/s/4S2wIkc1EeHmbuzaMy lyrics, my music, always. [Verse 1] You left me standing here With my heart holding back its tears And now I'm standing here Holding on to you [Verse 2] I'm trying to recall The last words that I said at all Don't think they were goodbye So I keep holding on Verse 3 I'm still standing here Minutes turn into empty years My mind is lost but my heart's Holding on to you [Bridge] My senses are useless My body is numb, no emotion left Everything's frozen in that one moment in time [Outro] Don't think that I can move Where would I go without you? I don't know what to do So I keep standing here

My lyrics, my music, always. Who are you trying to convince...? Just a reminder that REAL musicians still exist, and actual performers deserve their own forum! This is what a 60y/o, flesh and blood, songwriter/musician, stripped down (to his skivvies) and just jamming... sounds like recording in his living-room. And, no, I don't care what any of you " Artificial Idiots" think of my lyrics! I kept it short, ENJOY

Your hook line is "Holding On To You". In my opinion you should end all sections (except the bridge) with that line. That would make it catchier/stickier.

Rob! That struck me immediately too! LOL
And it works to make the first two Verses more coherent.
[Verse 1]
You left me standing here,
my heart holding back its tears!
I'm still standing here,
so I Keep Holding On!
[Verse 2]
I'm trying to recall,
the last words I said at all! (I said, or, You said?)
I think they were goodbye,
so I Keep Holding On!
[Bridge]
My senses are useless!
My body is numb! No emotion left!
Everything is frozen in that moment in time! (Crescendo)
Verse 3
I'm still standing here!
Minutes turn into empty years!
My mind is lost! In my heart,
I Keep Holding On!
[Coda]
I don't think I can move!
Where would I go without you?
I don't know what to do!
I keep standing here!
I Keep Holding On.
I Keep Holding On.
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

My lyrics, my music, always. Who are you trying to convince...? I don't need to convince anyone, least of all you. I can do this all day.. pushing the post down over and over til you stop So, you admit it... That's been your intent all along... You're just another fuk'n troll in a skirt... You and Mr Lied have assumed authority as thought police and resident cancel culture activists in the name of moderation @JPF. And you aimed yourselves at me the moment you arrived. Brian... Are you there? Where's your outrage? Why haven't you put me out of my fuk'n misery? Honestly, how much more of this stupid Kunt(with a Kay), Manbitch, and Frankentard do you expect me to tolerate? Trolls from another site... https://www.musesongwriters.com/forums/index.php?/topic/85865-lifes-a-burning-building/Does this site matter to you at all? -------------------------- {{PM FROM KAY= [[What is going on????]] ""why is everyone fighting over nothing?????"" ANSWER= Honestly...? I really don't know or care anymore. I used to think Marty and Dom were the same person. All I can tell you is that Marty is relentless, a liar, and proudly admits to berating me because of my Christian leanings just for fun. Brian is in a pickle because he loosely agrees with my views on free speech... Problem is, Marty refuses to self govern. Marty and Dom have been an antagonizing "tag-team" on many sites for 15yrs that I know of. So, take Dom's professed hatred of Marty with a grain of salt. If you truly want to know, two threads will probably clear things up for you; https://www.jpfolks.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1209365/the-ward.html#Post1209365https://www.jpfolks.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1186183/the-rant-arena.html#Post1186183Enjoy...}} ------------------ Now the site is plastered with Kay's intolerance of anything contrary to her wishes... apparently IN YOUR NAME! Is something or someone else running your site, Brian? What are you 90?????? Every computer has a built in camera... geesh Hmmmmn... Yeah', I suppose that deserves an explanation... No, not 90. 60... And I've been half blind all my life. But, the last 10 yrs have really sucked. I can't use a laptop or a smartphone. My desktop is plugged into my 65" in my living room with a Bluetooth ball mouse and onscreen keyboard at 120% mag. That, and a laundry list of Gulf War related crap, makes me a guitar pickin' couch potato with a sweetheart of a disposition  Burying this post until you guys stop Seriously!? NO APOLOGY!? Just a reminder that REAL musicians still exist, and actual performers deserve their own forum! This is what a 60y/o, flesh and blood, songwriter/musician, stripped down (to his skivvies) and just jamming... sounds like recording in his living-room. And, no, I don't care what any of you "Artificial Idiots" think of my lyrics! I kept it short, ENJOY https://soundclick.com/song/15180035

Rob and Gary. Instructive! So good.
Tony. Very good music. Doesn’t take us anywhere though. Be civil.
Kl. I like it like it is. Making it hook centric, plays by the commercial rules, but imo, something is lost with the change….the hollowness (shiver factor) of frozen in one spot.
Ps between muse and Jpf….nobody seems to be saying much
Is the world frozen in one spot…lol

Some truth in that. That is very much the danger. But.
You are flat wrong that it applies to Kay-Lynn.
Don’t sign on with half truths.

rhythm in this suno version, that started and is attributable to KL’s guitar playing, that takes it out of country genre and adds sublime to the mix….top that!

A little birdie told me that my name is being slandered back in song paradise.
Or at least, I was told that it would become paradise after I left.
I've been gone for weeks with no desire to return.
I’m gone and liking it. I found a site where I can put up songs, make a few cordial comments, quietly contribute, and blend into the background, similar to the other sites that I visit. Trolls are shut down.
I am done battling trolls here also, so don’t take this post as me re-entering the idiocy.
I do request that since I left this site so that it could become blissfull…there is no need to bring me up…
(other than a desperate attempt to churn up food for trolls to feed on. (acrimony.)
AVISO
Imo…there is mental illness here. It is allowed to ramble about unchecked by the owner and moderators. Women are openly and repeatedly called Ckunts. Amongst other insults.
That does not occur where sanity and reason prevail.
Add to that, freewheeling diatribes about religion and politics and you have a social mixture that is guaranteed to devolve into acrimony.
If you participate here, know that.
As for me, I’m gone and dont matter here at all.
Leave me out of it.

I Keep Holding On. Normally I would agree it needs a hook line, but since I know this isn't for radio, it doesn't need to be radio friendly. I tend to write in a conversational way. i.e. You can read the lyric like and actor would reading lines from a script, so I try to make sentences that sound like a real person is talking, not a songwriter trying to force words around. But tha't's just me!.... I posted me actually singing the song with my guitar a little further up this thread ( know it says Suno, but that's just what I uploaded)

Sometimes, guitar players aren't aware of the extras in their playing, and you work at keeping your words lean. Does it take suno to pull it out. yeah. you have a bit of a yodel in your singing. its more pronounced in suno.

Bill....... my choir teacher used to tell me I had a country voice without the twang........ I guess she was wrong since I was in Minnesota... and Iowa............ When I finger pick the guitar I probably couldn't even tell you half the chords I'm playing unless I wrote them down. You're so sweet.
