Glory to God

My 2nd submission titled “Glory to God”

I wrote the lyrics and included bible verses. The song is about God’s goodness and the reason for the season.

I used AI, so if you don’t like AI, just don’t listen to it or make any comments on my post. Thanks!

Hi, welcome to the forums SeekJohn14v6!

I kind of like AI overall I guess, but after listening to this theme you brought here thrice and listening to hundreds of other AI-prompted stuff I would say that I get more or less the same feeling that comes over me when I listen to this kind of "contemporary" music where, more often than not, one could replace parts of the score by "make random noises" and call it a day or additionally scramble the passages and play them disordered. It's not really that I don't like it (some I do NOT like it at all), but that I feel it and find it gray and boring.

Judging by your recent posts here guess that you're satisfied with your work already, and I probably would if I was in your position. In fact, I am when it comes to make thumbnails for videos using Stable Diffusion or similar stuff (and then editing them, I must say). This adds up to the little feedback I could give you, unfortunately.

I am no lyricist, and English is not my native language, so I'm not much into the world of lyrics so I cannot really point you towards a place where your stuff may be much more appreciated. This is not to say some people will appreciate or at least get impressed by what you have presented here, but I am unfortunately certain there won't be many people commenting on your stuff for any other reason than discussing if your use of AI should be considered a work or not... Perhaps another lyricist somewhere? The thing is there's little to comment since it makes little sense for most to explain what may have room for improvement, musically speaking. This usually helps composers, they rethink stuff and improve on their mistakes. But this is almost nothing like that.

Now, I have read somewhere else that you clarify that these pieces are AI generated because you don't want to be a deceiver. That would be like showing AI art in some artists' forum and calling it a day expecting nobody would notice or suspect, right? From your POV it would be easy to deceive people into thinking this mp3 you submitted is not made by AI, I get you. However, and getting the AI song checkers out of the equation, to me and many others here in this cozy lil' forum, this would have hit as AI from the beginning to the end, which is again not necessarily bad, after all I'm just suggesting that many of us here are mostly pretty capable of distinguishing between AI music and non-AI music specially in these more pseudo-bombastic cases. It's an acquired thing. Maybe in a year or two, it'd pass. Depends on how profitable being as meticulous as possible ends up being. 

I am glad that you can make your ideas real and your lyrics go live with this technology and 0% or a small fraction of what an actual group or a producer would charge you to recording that. This technology will hopefully improve in the coming years and you'll be able to remake stuff better. At the end of the day, again, if you're satisfied, little else matters. But let me tell you that the world of composition is wide, and if you someday decide to venture deeper on it, you may understand why AI-pieces at this very moment are not much convincing to someone like me, musically speaking.  

That said, I am sure your album and pieces can get a good audience. Masses will never be that nitpicky, and this —and any random prompt as well ngl— is on par or better than half of the mainstream music produced nowadays 😆.


Best of luck and Happy new year!

Nice lyrics, and the overall direction and structure of this song is solid. Very calming and the style is fun.

You're in a forum where you may have a tough audience because most of us here are composers in some capacity, myself included. Maybe one day you will want to learn this art beyond prompting (lyric writing is a skill too which people should not dismiss here). But in the meantime, you're having fun with Suno which helps create more an interest I believe. I also use AI to create musical parodies btw, my main goal is to create laughs with catchy tunes and lyrics. So my stance on this matter will be a little more on the interesting side, especially coming from someone who is developing a music notation application!

@Omicronrg9 Thank you for your courteous message. You may not think you were giving me any good feed back but I think you gave me a lot of good feed back. Your ears are professionally trained so now I know that even if I didn’t disclose this as AI, you would have know anyways. That means a lot to me because now I will be even more meticulous in editing and iterating my songs so even the smallest hiccup or odd sound would make me remake it.

Can you tell me exactly what kind of sounds would give a song away to be AI? I am no composer but I do play some guitar and I can hear mistakes easily with guitar since I play it a little.

I want to know what you hear to discover if something is AI.

You speak english more fluently than most people lol, I myself have english as a second language.

Also i redid my song because when I listened to it again I heard several mistakes that really bugged me. Also I didn’t think it was grand enough for a song that is supposed to be glorifying God. I’m happier with this newer version.

To be honest I only started this AI music thing cuz Grok told me about it, I am pretty amazed with this technology and I genuinely enjoy it a lot, I can put my thoughts and feelings into a song, I have something to leave my friends and the world. My main goal really is to let people know about God and how God loves them and how He has given us a way to be in heaven.

Music is a fast way of doing that and since my music is distributed on most music platforms, my message will be there even after I die.

Thanks again for your nice message and may God bless you! Happy New Year Daniel!

@chopin Thanks! I redid it cuz i heard several mistakes that were bad and it wasn’t grand enough for a song about glorifying God in my opinion. I like this newer one better, I think I got rid of all or almost all of the mistakes.

I’m not really sure exactly what a composer is, I can ask Grok I guess but can you tell me what it is to you for a more detailed answer?

My assumption of it is somebody who makes like a orchestra or something and makes music for everyone in there to make them all sound good including lyrics.

Music notation is that sheet music? I’m lazy lol only thing I know is tab. Got like a site that is noob friendly for composing? 

Also your program does it listen to a song and writes a music sheet? that would be great cuz i got 1 guitar song i practice and idk how to write it in tab, much less music sheet form.

I’d love to hear your songs, sounds interesting. Thanks for your nice comments.

I understand how people are, I used to turn my nose at things that I didn’t think was the right way to do it. Then I just grew up and stopped caring as much, so what if they do something that way, they are having fun or they are new and they are still learning. Also they aren’t harming me or others, I’m just wasting time and stressing about something that ultimately doesn’t matter at all in the grand scheme of things. Anyways excuse my mini rant lol. Thanks again Chopin!
