Liner Notes

Another #skirmish from @robinleaf. #robinsrandomtitles Time for lyrics; might be a demo later. Addendum: OK, it's 14 minutes later. That's how long it took for me to type lyrics into Suno #AI and listen to the two choices offered, and then post one online. It's exciting, it's addictive and it's scary, because AI could be the death of FAWM not to mention recorded music in general. I have mixed feelings about #AI but it sure is convenient when you still have to prepare appetizers for the big game. #rock #alternativerock #fullproduction

Lyrics

FOR GOOD OR FOR GRANTED
(c) 2025 raspberry33

[Verse]
Woke up, and silent speech surrounds me
Look to the bed, there’s empty space on the right
Pull together my thoughts they’re so disconnected
What the bloody heck happened last night?

[Verse]
Something’s beneath my toes – a piece of a puzzle
Now it’s all coming back – it was halfway done
Arguing, trading shots, until it got ugly
Can we wind it back to when it was still fun

[CHORUS]
I must have said something bad
Watered seeds already planted
Are you gone for good, my love
Because I took you for granted?

[Verse]
It takes a little while before you find true love
Forget infatuation, it’s there and it’s gone
Can we go back to the moment I took you for granted
When love pulled back and then was totally withdrawn

[CHORUS]

Love the way this just starts right off the bat and doesn't stop. (Somehow I suspect you’ve sung a song or two before.)You sound great, and know what you’re doing on the guitar. Very fun and energetic, with a message wrapped nicely inside.

Love the way you write -- silent speech surrounds me, puzzle pieces beneath his toes, trading shots until it got ugly. Really nice!

Killer guitars - love that intro! Fantastic production for a one hour write - wish I knew how to do that so quickly. Really good vocals and love the harmonies too.

Terrifyingly good AI performance. I feel so old.

Lyrics are admirable--kudos on those.

Yes, the performance is totally AI. The lyrics were all mine (no AI involved) but then I typed them into Suno AI, with instructions for uptempo rock. Sounds more country to me, though the opening guitar riff reminds me of the Faces. And I agree that it's truly scary that a machine (albeit highly trained!) can turn lyrics into a radio-ready production. We are all doomed!

Are you saying the performance is all AI? That's truly scary. Especially as I like it.
Well then, the lyrics--I like them, too, especially the chorus "watered seeds already planted."
