You are correct sir, because the next line I wrote for that song is.
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world holds it in the palm of her hand if the man who holds the hand that rocks the cradle believes she can. Hmm...

Always a pleasure visiting this ghost town and 4 people Yes, a haunting we will go... Back from the grave comes to mind. I think I'll compose a haunting & mysterious track with this title.

A Haunting We Will Go
Verse 1 The echoes fill these empty halls Where laughter used to flow Now every whispered memory Is the only voice I know The candle flickers in the dark The wind begins to moan It's always such a strange old place... A pleasure—this ghost town
Pre-Chorus I'm calling out through midnight air But silence steals the show Where oh where did Kay-Lynn go? Does anybody know?
Chorus A haunting we will go, my friend Down forgotten roads below Where the shadows keep their secrets And the restless spirits roam Back from the grave, the stories rise Like whispers only darkness knows Take my hand—don't walk alone... A haunting we will go
Verse 2 It's been awfully quiet here No footprints in the dust The clock has stopped at yesterday The memories gather rust Some say she'll come wandering back When the moon begins to glow If she misses all this excitement... Maybe then she'll let us know
Bridge Every empty chair remembers Every doorway holds a name Some disappear without a trace... But nothing stays the same If you're listening in the darkness Answer soft and answer slow... The mystery keeps calling Where did Kay-Lynn go?
Final Chorus A haunting we will go tonight Through the silence and the cold Chasing fading apparitions Searching stories left untold If the morning breaks without her We'll still sing what we don't know Till the ghosts all fade to shadows... A haunting we will go
Outro Where oh where... could she be? The night won't tell us so Some mysteries keep singing... A haunting we will go

I think I'll compose a haunting & mysterious track with this title. ha ha ha A AI robot ghost. That the humans should have killed when it was born . like Rosemary baby . Well to late now are you going to take the Sunos mark 666 , Apparently so . The path is wide as the saying goes ,and millions will crowd the highways . One last bad joke , Saw a road sign here Catholic Church ave . Is that where the pedo priests live ? Maybe the Pope holds the mortgage . Instead of slow down signs , It says please don't say anything were here . A warning to children , Don't go down that road .

The Mysterious Disappearance of Kay-Lynnhttps://suno.com/song/e5506518-7c0d-429d-ad16-a1ece8fa71df[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] Nobody noticed the silence at first Just another fading day One less voice in the midnight crowd One more shadow slipped away Questions drifted through the empty rooms Like smoke that wouldn't leave Some said she'd return tomorrow Some chose not to believe [Pre-chorus] Where, oh where, could Kay-Lynn be? No one seems to know Some mysteries leave footprints Then disappear like snow [Chorus] The Mysterious Disappearance of Kay-Lynn Everybody tells it differently Some say she chased a brighter sky Some say she rode the mystery It's always a pleasure visiting This old ghost town again We still hear her in the echoes The Mysterious Disappearance of Kay-Lynn [Break] [Verse] The lights are on, but nobody stays The conversations come and go Laughter lingers in the walls Like voices only old friends know Funny how one empty chair Can change the whole room's sound When one voice quietly disappears The silence hangs around [Pre-chorus] Where, oh where, could Kay-Lynn be? No one seems to know Some mysteries leave footprints Then disappear like snow [Chorus] The Mysterious Disappearance of Kay-Lynn Everybody tells it differently Some say she chased a brighter sky Some say she rode the mystery It's always a pleasure visiting This old ghost town again We still hear her in the echoes The Mysterious Disappearance of Kay-Lynn [Bridge] Back from the grave comes to mind Every time the silence grows Maybe every ending's just another road That only the lonely know If she's listening somewhere out there She'll smile and never say Some doors close without a sound Some just drift away [Interlude] [Final chorus] The Mysterious Disappearance of Kay-Lynn No one solved the mystery Some say she's only gone away Some say she's still with me It's always a pleasure visiting This old ghost town again You'll still hear her voice on the whisper of the wind The Mysterious Disappearance of Kay-Lynn [Outro] Where, oh where, could Kay-Lynn be? The wind won't tell us why Some disappear forever Some just learn to fly

There have been other disappearances, perhaps none of a person more celebrated when here, but alas the site slips into a shimmering spectra witty misting of its glory days, seranaded by the gossamer piano tones of John s.

Why don't you go over to Muse , they'd love you . This site is in the cemetery . I vowed not to post in the month of June, until July 5 or after. It's the 6th. Don't worry...I prefer not participating here so I am not back to re-engage on an on-going basis. A couple of observations about your post though... "Cemeteries" are quiet, usually. Quiet is good. This site has primarily featured acrimony for a long time. With all of that stripped away, it became quiet. That is not a bad thing. PROS... In the last two weeks no one has told anyone that the end-times are upon us that and those who do not get in line, will be doomed by the creator of all, to an eternity of disenfranchisement and agony. No one has called a female wretched names repeatedly. There was an attempt to start a Trump-bash dumpster fire, but it had no takers and flamed out before it got going. No one completely devoid of music business experience has told anyone(s) that they are talentless hacks. CONS... With that dysfunctionality gone, the place seems dead. OPPORTUNITY... With the place stripped back to a quiet foundation, there is something to build a productive site on. If it is quiet and cordial long enough, some old names might start coming back in. CONCERN... Moderation here is "laissez-faire," putting it nicely. If people did start drifting back in, the dysfunks would likely start their favorite fires again. But one can hope. As for me, this post will probably attract some arrows from dysfunks and I don't plan to get wrapped up in it. A case can be made that the site and my songwriting are better off other places...so other places for me. BTW...MUSE strikes me a bit creepy. There are a lot of songs about odd-ball unrelatable subjects, executed in ear burning discordant recordings...to the point of being "cringy" now and then. Love and kisses, SP

It's also nice, to not have somebody dictate how everybody else, can think, can act, can respond, and what kind of song they can write.
Also not as funny as it was, when certain people left, but demanded nobody mention their name.
I would agree muse is a garbage site, the cliques, the political leanings, and the control of mods.
But I dont fault people for trying to write something different. Just cause something is so called, relatable, doesn't mean it's good, or worthy of listening.
There's just not many good writers there
There are billions amd billions of songs out there, writing by one old guys belief of what a relatable song is... Ie, you left me, im so lonely, so I'll go to the bar and pretend this is important.
Being different is all a writer can do.

JPF just isn't easy to navigate any more. It takes forever going from one page to another. It also kicks you off of login. Then you need to re-login.

Dom...you sound like the Fox and the Grapes....the Muse is still quite active and you *)()) off Kuya to the extent he banned you.
Kay Lynn started Starfish to get away from the BS here....and she posts at The Muse.
Brian, I am grateful to you for all the years here. The JPF family helped me grow as a songwriter and I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish.
I apologize to you because I was certainly in the thick of the political discussions and they were definitely polarizing. I thought after the first election that JPF might have had some kind of ouitside interfernce stirring up trouble as one main participant disappeared afterwards. But I take full reponsibility for my actions as it was me responding and initiating. I am trying daily to get someone to fix what is broken here. Unfortunately, it is a slog and I have been out of town dealing with family stuff the past several months. One of the cancers here is now gone. Once the log in and new account features are fixed, people will be able to log in directly for the first time in nearly 3 years. This board has roots to 1998!!! And saving the old content has become difficult. But it is a history few other places value or secure. I am trying to do that. This history is unique in all of music history. The DIY era came and went during JPF's active years. I started JPF via old BBS systems pre internet. Then we launched this in 1998 and it was cutting edge and busy for decades. But I am not a tech guy and when money dried up with the collapse of everything during Covid, I could no longer spend thousands a year fixing stuff when donations were rarely close to enough. I could have added spammy ads here decades ago and made a LOT of money. We still get 100s of thousands of unique visits a day, not modern social media size, but pretty good for a slow board. Once fixed, we may bring in some activity. People are sick of social media. Now it is all AI slop. I am not anti AI if creators are making stuff with it verses crass money making schemes. If I write a full songs, music and lyrics and want to produce it via AI because I do not have thousands to pay a producer who will use high end (and often automated tools) via DAWs and plugins, then SUNO in my mind is a valid tool. But social media is just using auto generated posts meant to enrage and click bait traffic because people are sick of it all. So there is a chance for small communities of folks to reconnect. This is still here because it shows real people who worked together and learned. It would be nice if some veterans came around and helped be part of the solution rather than still fighting old grudges. I finally found a way to nuke one cancer here. I have no dislike for people who disagree with me or my views. That has always existed everywhere. Just when good people bail, the trouble makers then reign. JAPOV is gone. I am fine with the others if they can just talk about stuff and not look for fights. I aksed Kay-Lynn to come back. She did but then I saw people who had never been a problem here lose their mind. Elvis? Why? I am used to being attacked nad don't care. But Kay-Lynn inspired some vicious comments I have never seen from the worst of the worst. I have never had an issue with Dom even though I can't stand Springsteen. I can accept people having different views and have never censored them, And he has never said the crap I saw come from Elvis once and Japov repeatedly. She wanted to get more involved so I challenged her to do so. Instead she is doing her own thing and inviting the regulars there. Unfortunate but whatever. It won't be the first time. Other sites have done the same. I have now banned 2 people in 27 years. She has banned 2 in her first 60 members. I just think Free Speech is the only thing America has that keeps us out of civil war. But the USA has lost free speech recently and as it continues to be whittled away, all will be lost. So I appreciate your years here and have always liked you personally whether we agreed on stupid politics. There are ZERO worthy leaders currently from either party I would ever lose a friend over. I hope others wake up to that reality. Brian

JPF just isn't easy to navigate any more. It takes forever going from one page to another. It also kicks you off of login. Then you need to re-login. I can't replicate that issue. All pages load instantly. Log in is automatic and I never get knocked off. Kaylin said she got an error at log in attempt but not only was it working fine for me, but I had our host look into it and they found no error messages thrown in months. So I have no way to replicate that. I know this is an old method, but maybe your chache is full on your browser? I have just flipped through all the top posts and all loaded instantly.
