I spent a few hours today wrestling with Suno as a songwriting assistant. I got some great ideas, but no string of good luck on complete ideas this time. I have a process of spending a long time coaxing Suno into the style I want, then doing multiple iterations of lyrics until I have a decent framework to rewrite, and lastly having it create a ton of songs while slightly adjusting the style. Usually, that will give me a pretty solid song or two within a couple of hours. Tonight, all it really did was inspire me to write on my own. So, on a whim, I opened up Facebook and just started writing. Here is the product of hours of being lost in my thoughts, culminating in a few shorts minutes of being in a flow-state for writing: I'm a silent army of my own thoughts A not so gentle reminder of what I ought and ought not I am a bird soaring into the sun Son of a Daedalus, I get burned But I look to the stars and hope Knowing they're too far from my front porch So I just sit here in my thoughts And the demons scream of what I'm not So here I go in my own pain An arrow with no aim But at least I dare to feign Being dry in the pouring rain And I still dare to dream of The person I wish I was I hate you I love you But sometimes I just hurt And on the edge of this reality I often dare to dream But I dream too big, too far And then I can't find my car But I look to the stars to guide me Knowing I'm too far for them to find me So I sit here in my imagination Taking a vacation from the accusations So here I go on my own path A product of my own wrath But at least I dare to feign Perhaps to smile again And I still dare to dream of The person I wish I was I hate you I love you But sometimes I just hurt What if I love? What if I hate? What if I hurt? What if I laugh? What if I stand? Stand on my feet? What if I cry? What if I fall? Fall apart

Zero to Nightmare is the personal project of one of my students, Erlend Skaar. Erlend came to me with a few song ideas and barely the voice to sing them. Over the course of many months, we grew his voice into what he always hoped it could be, and crafted his songs into what he told me he had only dreamed about before. His first song, Anything For, was met with critical acclaim, getting him rave reviews across the internet without him even having to ask. As he readies a full EP and maps out a plan to build his career from, I wanted to take a moment to say how proud I am of him, honored to be a collaborator in his journey, and share this cool song with you.

Here's a demo version of a song off the first hard rock album I've written entirely myself. I seem to remember some song by the Silent Still that had a similar theme in terms of welcoming people to their show. https://youtu.be/7e9RaBNltYA
