For my grandson's ninth birthday I decided to get Suno, a new music-making website, to "create a happy birthday song for Syrus who loves football and superheroes." That was the sum and substance of my prompt, nothing more. I asked that the song be "uplifting" and in the "acoustic pop style" so the message could be heard more clearly than if it were in, say, heavy metal or punk or similar. Please listen to the result and give me your opinion: https://suno.com/song/b545dd8b-4fce-4ef5-8542-d14e97dab491
I think the lyrics are, as they say now, mind-blowing, and, hopefully, inspirational to an impressionable kid. It would have taken me more than a day or two to write, followed by scores and scores of rewrites, to get the effect this AI-generated song has managed to bring together in just a second or two. The tune is catchy even if none too distinctive, but it conveys the mood I would have wanted to capture. Do give Suno a try before it is taken down for lifting music right, left and centre without attribution and acknowledgement (they've already been sued!).
