Music without the musician, whereby AI takes my soul

In 2022, my friend Richard asked me to make him a motivational song that he could play when lifting weights. I did it. I doubt he ever used it but I did it. I uploaded it to Suno and asked for a remix, using a lot of the extracted prompt, and adding '80s aerobics" and "over the top".

Lift! Now lift it!

My very first experiment with this workflow and it's just *insane*. I literally uploaded a **nine second clip** of a basic-ish arp pattern with a little drum pattern I programmed in. Click the "Suno" tab to see what I got out! Also I named the song *Sample* because that's what I named the original....sample. And the name stuck 🙃

So soon after I made "Skin", I was just listening to some actual human folk music. And an alternate/similar lyric to something they sang popped into my head. Of course I headed right to Suno. I typed in the lyrics that were on my mind, and then just kind of went with it. Gave it a triple cheeseburger with bacon level list of genres and instruments and this is what we got.

Some days I'm a potato, just waitin for the mash

I wrote all the lyrics, but mostly I wanted to hear what Suno would come up with for a future electro blues glitchy thing. I am very impressed with this, I think it's extremely unique and interesting. Yes, for anyone who has done text to song, there's kind of a magic about it, that your idea became real. It's especially potent when you wrote the lyrics yourself though.

What's between the inside and the outside? Is there any place that we can hide? What would we have without within? Guarded tightly by our skin
