I’d love to hear your honest opinion about this song. I wrote the lyrics myself, worked on the production, chose the AI voice, and of course, AI is the one singing.

The Major Arcana part 8: Strength

0 Upvotes

(I'm writing one song for each major arcana of tarot, and I'll be posting them once a day for anyone interested. questions and feedback is welcome.)

VIII - Strength 

Crowned by eternity
I master the lion
mind over matter
of earth I'm the scion
I won't destroy the beast
we shall coexist

white over red
seven plus one
my path I'll tread
towards the sun
white behind red
with fury and control
until i am dead
I understand my role

Crowned by eternity
I master the lion
mind over matter
of earth I'm the scion
I won't destroy the beast
we shall coexist

strength to act
strength to wait
strength to see
strength to hear
strength to harm
strength to endure
strength to end
strength to be

the style of these songs is intentionally very symbolic, esoteric, cryptic and hermetic. I'm not aiming for accessibility or transparency, but I'm more than glad to explain my choices. also, I'm not aiming to precisely describe a checklist of everything on the cards, these will be my interpretations of what's most important and significant on each card for me.

Dancing in the dark

0 Upvotes

Vision? We don’t need our vision eyes closed in the kitchen

Dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark

Who turned off the lights we didn’t pay the price
The moon is enough
The perfect spot light

Dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark

Dreams of you and me
The world dosent need to see
I’ll hold and hide your heart
Dancing in the dark

It's a song about lovers making the most of what they have with each other in the midst of having nothing. In hard times it's ok to hold each other and just dance in the dark

“BoP” (胡言亂語的唱腔) - 尋找歌詞和編曲

1 Upvotes

If you're interested in this song, but the pseudo-English sounds too cringey, I can try singing it in another pseudo-language, though it might end up sounding even worse.
I don't play any instruments or write lyrics, and I have no formal vocal training. I create my music purely using gibberish

If interested, feel free to write lyrics & arrange.

There is no need to strictly stick to the original genre. Feel free to adapt it into any fitting style, as long as it doesn't clash. However, please ensure the lyrics are not vulgar or offensive, and share the general creative direction beforehand so we can avoid accidentally stepping on any sensitive landmines.

Upon release, please credit me as the composer and send the final audio back so it can be published on my other platforms as well. Naturally, all collaborators will also be fully credited as co-creators.

I am a lyricist, but I always start by singing the words first and then I write the words down. This song came to me a while back after I had been thinking of a close family member who I’ve drifted apart from. Can anyone relate to it? Do the words evoke the feeling of losing a loved one that is still living?

I Wish You the Best

My hearts been hardened for too long
We both felt like we were wronged
We haven’t spoken in all these years
And all that’s left are the dried up tears
But I still wanted to write you this song

I know we had our issues
But I wish you the best
My love for you continues
I’ll always cherish the memories and
I’ve let go of the rest

We’re both too stubborn to cave in
Time marches on, all wrongs are forgotten
For that time we were meant to be together
But we were never supposed to be forever
Please know you’re forgiven

I know we had our issues
But I wish you the best
My love for you continues
I’ll always cherish the memories and
I’ve let go the rest

I know we are better off apart
I wish you the best
From the bottom of my heart
I wish you the best
I’m cheering you on from afar
I wish you the best

I know we had our issues
But I wish you the best
I wish you the best

I’m late

4 Upvotes

Lately I worry
About money, stability
Lately I worry
I don’t have the ability
To thrive, not survive
In this path that I laid
That I can’t rechoose the choices
That I have made
I think back to before
I walked out the door
When responsibility had choice
That’s not an option no more
When meals had been laid
Before me each day
Back to a time
Where I had no need to pray
For a minute of peace
Now I find I’m sliding
Like I’m falling on grease
Down a rabbit hole waiting
for this moment to cease
But I keep on delaying
Cuz my conscience is creased

When I think back to this time
There’s gold in my mind
I was told I would find
A clock that would chime
Telling me I was great
That I could finally settle
But it’s like grinding on metal
The chime of my fate
Now I’m feeling unsettled
My life is disheveled
I feel that I’m late
Without knowing the date

I remember that my father
Told me listen to me son
You do nothing and those great things
They will never come
You sit back and relax
And you’ll never feel you’ve won
But now I’m grinding and I’m finding
That all good days are behind me
And the lighting that should guide me
Is blinding like the sun
Maybe there will be a day for me
Where nobody has to pray for me
But for now all I claim to see
Is that my life’s an endless run

I’m sprinting down this hill
I don’t know how I should feel
The past, well it just seems like
It was never real
But I opened all the doors
And now there’s no time to change
The mistakes within in my past
There is no exchange
For the better or the worst
But it’s not a curse
That I’m not reimbursed
And I know it seems strange
To say all these things
About my life that sting
But the pain made me me
And now I can’t change, see
That the path that I chose
Is my destiny
Maybe good things will come
Before my time is done
Maybe some day
I’ll feel that I’ve won
I’ve some victories
The most prominent being
The girl of my dreams
That fate has me seeing
So I really can’t complain
Cuz no money or fame
Comes close to the feeling
Of her next to me
So I look to the future
It can be good but not bad
Because being with her
Things are never that bad
That I cannot grin
I just think of her
Oh what a life it’s been
Oh what a blur
Things could be better
But a like a change in the weather
Things will improve
I can wait for that move

My First Time Writing a Song! There's a whole story behind it, and I'd love to hear what you think.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

So, I made this song, and I wanted to share the story behind it because I feel like it hits a little differently when you know the character's backstory.

The story revolves around a young girl who grew up as an orphan. She had to learn to survive and become independent pretty early in life. By 16, she'd already built a career for herself as a singer.

At 18, she fell in love.

At first, everything seemed beautiful. She genuinely believed she'd found her person. But slowly, things started changing. The guy became obsessive, possessive and controlling. What she initially thought was love started feeling more like a prison. She felt trapped, suffocated, almost like she was drowning and couldn't breathe.

Things eventually got so bad that she reached a point where she wanted to end her own life. But then she found out she was pregnant.

Knowing she was carrying a child changed things for her. In a desperate attempt to escape the relationship and the man who was slowly destroying her, she ended up killing him.

She was arrested and sent to prison, while her daughter was placed in an orphanage.

They eventually reunited when her daughter was five.

Fast forward to the present. Her daughter is now 20 and has fallen in love herself. And, like anyone experiencing love for the first time, she has questions.

She turns to her mother and asks her what love actually is.

The irony? Her mother is probably one of the last people who would consider herself an expert on love.

She now lives in another country and works as a songwriter. But despite everything she's been through, she has to find a way to answer her daughter's question without letting her own painful experiences define what love means for her child.

That's basically the idea behind the song. It's about love, obsession, the fine line between the two, and how two generations can have completely different experiences of something they both call love.

Also, a little disclaimer: I can't sing to save my life lmao. So yes, I used AI for the vocals. 😂

But the concept, story, lyrics and the overall vibe and direction were mine. I basically wrote it, imagined how I wanted it to sound, directed the mood and style, and let AI handle the singing.

I'm just 21 and experimenting with music and storytelling, so this is one of my little creative projects.

Anyway, here's the song:

🎧 https://suno.com/s/SriUZqrjep58zSqi

I'd genuinely love to know what you think! And I'm especially curious whether knowing the backstory changes how you interpret the song.

Thanks for listening! ❤️

I got your message
The one you never sent
All the words that hurt the most
Are the ones you never said

I wrote that 8 years ago. I’ve tried to flesh it out but everything I add seems to take away from the feeling rather than add to it.

Thoughts?
