Hmm...

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

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 .

I meant with the title "The Mysterious Dissaperance of Kay-Lynn" Rob.

The Mysterious Disappearance of Kay-Lynn
https://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

I actually have the melody to this verse, but I got stuck and just left it...........I need to make myself do more, for sure.

I still can't believe someone took the time to write a song with my name in it.!!!...................Very flattering I must say!

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.

A human what a concept
Sounds sweet John

Thanks Ben. Yes, human generated music. It's going to change the music industry.

You and I are the minority now
Welcome to 1965

Dinosaurs

ha ha ha pretty much
Ha ha pretty much

BS. Like romance and mystery is dead…not. This is some of the best jpf in sometime. Thank you John S !
Bill

Thanks Bill! Really appreciate having listeners for my music.

John

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.

The site is gone, and im ok with it

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.

Incoming arrows on cue from the dysfunk and death knell.

Dang I get an error message on this one! (sigh).......

You can go directly to my website Kay-Lynn at https://johnlarenceschick.com/home First track.

That's really beautiful!! Thank you so much.........................

It was my pleasure Kay-Lynn. Really!

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

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.

Ha ha Ha

By who robots ?

Brian that made me Crack up loud. I guess im forever linked to Springsteen. I talked to a buddy on the phone the other night who saw Bruce latest show. He's like the whole night I was saying "please shut up and sing, PlEASE.

He has alienated many fans with his politics, and kept the ones who feel the same.

Me? I'm a fan of the musuc, the band, and the songwriting, but 2000 and past has been mediocre compared to the earlier stuff.

I feel he has the right to say what he wants, just not charge ticket prices for it.

He's still my boy, but it feels bad how many hate him now.

Anyway, im just a big a fan of the who you know lol.

Thanks for the laugh

And I would agree there are hundreds if not not many more every day lurkers here, the numbers of views bears that out. You should really make them sign in to read.

Then we'd know who they are

The site needs Eddie Swartz, another guy who is hard not to like and is as fair as anybody.

I think if MAB came back some lurkers would show up.

Mike Z, alot of his demo customers would probably come back.

Going way back guys like Mike Caro and Mark Kaufman.

Mark was another guy I respected and got the same in return. Would love to hear their thoughts on Ai, if they are embracing it.

Can't hurt to reach out to them and ask for their presence.

Go to that studio Dom , Stop jerking off to the Who .

I think Ted in his own tribal way, gives the solution here. Worry about the music. It's simple really, and should be the same here


Springsteen is a staunch Democrat whose attitude towards politics has been chiefly about depicting social conflicts, understanding the economically disadvantaged, and standing up for injustice.


In 2020, he narrated a campaign advertisement for then presidential hopeful Joe Biden, and once Biden was committed to office The Boss performed ‘Land Of Hope And Dreams’ as part of a TV special honouring Biden’s inauguration. He also started a podcast last year with former US president Barack Obama.

Speaking in a recent interview, Nugent, a controversial right-wing rocker, talked about how different he and Springsteen are in terms of ideologies and their political views.

“You couldn’t get further apart ideologically, politically, or truth logic and common sense wise than me, and Bruce Springsteen, but here I’ll show a little love for Bruce,” Nugent told That Jamieson Show.

“Number one, I’ve been able to perform on the Conan show with the E-Street band, which is one of the greatest joys in my life. I’ve always been surrounded by the best musicians, that’s a perfect example. We played ‘Jenny Take A Ride’ by Mitch Ryder, and Max and the guys performed it with unbelievable accuracy, perfection, and soulfulness.”

He continued: “So, I give them that salute for having that quality of virtuosos that deliver his music and instead of going after Bruce for being a dirtbag and supporting communists like Biden and Obama. People that ruined the quality of life, especially for minorities. How he can’t see that, I don’t know. But, I would like to be right here live on that Jameson show with my friends Jim and Don to salute Bruce Springsteen because he always supported Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels.”

He then went on to say that if he were to bump into Springsteen, he wouldn’t let Mike Tyson punch him – this in relation to a previous comment Nugent made about how he would hire boxer Mike Tyson to punch those who disagreed with his ideas – but instead just send him on his way because he respects his musical integrity.

“If I met Bruce, I wouldn’t punch him,” Nugent explained. “I always have Mike Tyson with me, and I’d give him a hundred bucks to punch assholes, and I wouldn’t have Mike punch him. I would say, ‘Mike take a minute off, go, find another [naughty word removed] to punch.’ But I’m gonna say, ‘Thank you’ to Bruce Springsteen because we share the reverence and admiration for musical integrity and enthusiasm.”

“You have to admit, Bruce’s career is based on his musical heart and soul,” he continued. “The delivery and the content of his lyrics I don’t abide by most of the time. I love the reference to the Dust Bowl in ‘Joad,’ but I would thank him for his enriching lives with powerful music. I wouldn’t go into his communist predilections. I also thank him for doing a 9/11 tribute. He’s also got some great spirit.” You can see the interview in full above.

"The Mysterious Disappearance of Kay-Lynn" made the Top 10 list on Broadjam: https://www.broadjam.com/top10/world-asian I guess a few listeners like Asian influenced music. If it weren't for Kay-Lynn disappearing, I'd never composed this. Interesting, but no big deal - ha, ha.

John

Well, it's been a month since my last review and assessment. So let's take a look and see how things have come along in the last month.

BASELINE (per Gemini)
When something is functional it “fulfills its intended purpose and operates effectively”

When something is dysfunctional it “it fails to operate properly, fulfill its intended purpose, or maintain healthy, effective performance.”

When adverse forces act in a manner contrary to the intended purpose of a functionality, those forces are destructive, disruptive, or antagonistic—often resulting in operational failure, stress, or dysfunction.

It is a songwriting site. The intended purpose is songwriting.


OVERVIEW (at a glance)

The site is much improved.


EVIDENCE OF IMPROVEMENT

There was a thread titled “beautiful mess.”
This was a “dung beetle” picking at scabs in an effort to create a dung thread to feed on...posed as a "song."
The ploy, as usual, was to pick at a scab, get something going, and then insidiously, but obviously, deny the intent.

When the thread was started, 4 dung beetles immediately converged on the thread but could not get anything going, so the thread fizzled and faded.

That’s a very positive indicator.

There was a thread titled “a brand new set of keys.”
That was an attempt to get a political diatribe going, and derail songwriting for that self-centered purpose. But alas, THERE WERE NO TAKERS.
And that attempt fizzled and faded, as well.

That’s a very positive indicator.

One of the dysfunks effectively made a public apology to the site for being part of the politically based diatribes that have riddled the site with dysfunction for years.

That was a very positive indicator, and displayed elevated character. This person has been removed from the list of dysfunks.


OTHER ASPECTS:
John S’s influence is exceptionally polite and mild mannered. With some of the other dysfunction gone, that leaves “space” for him to have a good effect as a steward.


A PROBLEM THAT REMAINS
After years of dysfunctional dynamics, most of the activity that remains here is from the residual dysfunks. They often dysfunctionally argue with each other, now that the number of available other targets has dwindled.

However, there are some new names showing up and posting songs. Some good songs. Their posts should be encouraged and interacted with more than they are.


CONCLUSION:
Things are much improved.
Keep it on the “intended purpose.”
Leave derailing side-shows and derailing topics out of it.
Encourage the new people and provide a comfortable atmosphere for them.


See you in a month…maybe.

SP

Lol, a month this time...Pleassseeeeee return??????

Well, all of the so called improvements, occurred with you not present....and has been that way consistently all the times you've left.

Even in this stand alone speech you bestowed upon us, your arrogance and need to dictate and pontificate shine through.

However, I disagree that the site is better.

Yes its more peaceful, but that's because it's less involved.

I have said over and over again, most people who post songs, only care about their own.

A few post a song and run away. But they haven't run away, they sit back and hope somebody mentions them.

Others are waiting for ghosts to return. It has to be the specific people they once knew, or nothing.

This site or any sure will never be any good without several Ingredients...

Genuine interest in hearing others work, which there is none here.

Honest evaluations, sin biased reviews with positive and negative vibes.

Cliques, you kiss my ass ill kiss yours, and let's Ignore others so it appears we are good.

Inclusion, genuine interest, fair and honest exchange makes a site.

Not just eliminating flame wars

ha ha ha , This site is deader than Marlyn Monroe

Hey Marty,
That gave me a good laugh! 😄 There really wasn't any political intent behind that one. “A Brand New Set of Keys” was inspired by someone close to me who's going through a divorce. It's simply about rebuilding a life after everything falls apart. Amazing how some people can see politics in such a song, lol.

Now, if you'd listened to my political song, "Bring Me Someone – Not That Guy," you might've had a stronger case! 😉 That one would have put a smile on your face.

Marilyn Monroe died? I hope someone told our president John F. Kennedy.

I think he denied it like Trump . Maybe he's banging her in heaven. on the grassy knoll close to cloud 18 where George Carlin lives. Whats that hole in your head ? Well don't mind that . did you bring the viagra , being dead kinda kills the mood . Whos that ? , Oh that Oswald , we have a good laugh on the mafia killing me and not him

Marty, for years you were in the thick of it and attacked anyone who thought Trump was a bad person and worse President or wrote about it...

Everyone who disagreed with you and your love for all things Trump had Trump Derangement Syndrome

Now you want to separate yourself from all that ...and the others who partook are now dysfunks.

Worse, you come in now only to attack others and the state of this place....and your condescending comments show that clearly

Makes sense that you hide behind an avatar...

That's exactly right. He really only has been a musical participant on this site, for a fraction of the time he has been here.

He has been a know it all, a finger pointer, a....if I don't like you, I will work to eliminate you head piece...for a long time.

Its only once in a rare while, does he bring out the support for a site based on music, and nothing else, and how crucial and precious it is, and that it must be preserved.

I'm not sure what causes him to take this site seriously every blue moon.

He's only written 5 songs in decades, In fact you can find incarnations of such songs in the lyric section or mp3 section dated say.2018, and he recycles it today.

He went as far as to run his own criminal background check on me, just so that if he could find something, he could use that as Dom repellant.

Now he posts, as if everybody was waiting on baited breath for his pearls of wisdom.

In fact it's clear, he was in the thick of every flame war here.

What a positive supportive site pushing buttons and criminal background checks on strangers on the internet we've never met , Brian should get an award. Will give it to him when he shows up every 6 months on rant about Suno. He's posts are as long as War and Peace . I guess Tony is the pastor of that Natzi church now . He's long gone , maybe that pig farmer that lived next to him , the pig ate him
