The world needs some kind of inoffensive ear-candy music to take up the slack between Halloween and Thanksgiving, so it’s not just swarmed with premature Christmas carols. So, I went to Claude for lyrics and style prompt ideas and Suno for execution: https://suno.com/s/3MZ5QvkgofdaIB0G

Hunter Healer King 3 is Finished
67000 words, so a bit longer than my usual. Usually, I’m pretty happy to wrap things up with whatever set of characters I’m working with, but for some reason, I feel like I’m going to miss Chloe and Maxim. Maybe it’s just because the dual first person POV put me in their heads in a more intense way than any of my other characters. The fact that I managed about 20000 words on other writing projects in the eleven months or so it took me to write this one can probably be attributed to the new workflow. Current publication target is “before the end of the year,” but I have relatives who are gearing up to move and who may need my help, so publication is kind of a moving target. I’ll keep you all posted. In the meantime, not one but two triumphalistic Bollywood songs are in order:
Music by Suno Monday
So one time I put the style prompt in the lyrics area for Suno, and got one of the most fun songs it’s ever generated for me: https://suno.com/s/R77XahFygGLviyWC
Happy May the Fourth: Tarkin’s Song
Since today is Star Wars Day, I figured this would be as good a time as any to post this. Basically, one day I got bored, gave Suno some lyrics consisting of Tarkin’s dialogue leading up to the destruction of Alderaan, and had it turn them into a song.
Happy Easter!
250th Anniversary of the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere
So, reposting the best thing I got out of Suno when I fed it the abridged version of the Longfellow poem.
Music Monday By Suno: Door Into Summer
Suno wouldn’t let me use the opening paragraphs of Robert Heinlein’s Door Into Summer as song lyrics (no, it’s not a copyright issue, I’ve gotten Suno to use Star Wars dialogue as lyrics in the past), so instead I gave it a general prompt based on the anecdote of the cat who won’t accept that all doors lead to winter snow: https://suno.com/song/a611bcd1-1579-45bf-ae34-0a2f2732d4e7?sh=Rvqz0Izo10EGxrJv
Music Monday by Arlo Guthrie: City of New Orleans
Music Monday by Suno: The Laundry Song
We were, several of us together, lamenting laundry chores on Discord, so I asked Suno to write lyrics and music to a country western song about laundry.
Monday Music by Suno: Boot and Saddle
Based on the poem by Robert Browning.
I strongly advise anyone signing up for Suno to use their Discord accounts, if they have one. This allows them to bypass Suno’s rather intrusive demands for personal information.
