Rick's AI generated songs

Songs in green are my personal favourites.

 

Licence

The first, Ode to Linguine, was created by Donna, the rest by Suno. All using the free tier, which means the AI companies retain copyright (which may or may not be worth a damn given that some jurisdictions have ruled that things created entirely by a machine are ineligible for copyright protection...) and as such are not licenced for commercial use, but can be used personally. That means, download, listen, enjoy. If you think a friend will like, share.
But don't put it on your site/channel/whatever if it is monetised in any way as that counts as commercial.

 

Batch one

These five songs were first uploaded on the 14th of July 2025, with fixed versions (because Donna gives AAC and Suno gives weirdly broken MP3s) on the 20th of July 2025.

 

Ode to Linguine

Because it's my comfort food.

This was my first creation, and it was made using Donna AI that I saw advertised someplace else. It's a straight whimsical metal song (with clean male vocals, no growling or anything) about the joy of my favourite comfort food. I mean, why not? Just a shame the male "performer" seemed to have difficulty saying the word "linguine"? Maybe I should have spelt it as "linguini" for those who don't know how to spell/say it correctly? [the irony being that as I am copy-pasting this for the "AI songs" page, I notice that the title spelled it as "lignuine" 🤦]
Still, credit for managing to write a song about enjoying linguine!

Ode_to_Linguine_fixed.mp3
Runtime 3:30; male vocals; 5.0MiB.

 

Echoes of the Duck

My first prompt to Suno AI was to ask for a symphonic metal song in the style of Nightwish about... a rubber bath duck. It actually did remarkably well given that we're doing a three and a half minute song about...yes, a rubber bath duck! So if you ever wanted a song to belt out in the bath to your rubber duck, happy to oblige.

This actually reminds me more of Visions of Atlantis, but maybe that's just me.

In this edited version, the 28 second bit at the end has been shifted to the beginning as it sounded more like an intro.

Echoes_of_the_Duck_fixed.mp3
Runtime 3:59; female vocals; 5.4MiB.

 

Cosmic Symphony

I asked for a song about Carl Sagan in the style of Trans Siberian Orchestra. Well, it wasn't quite the right genre but not bad, and it certainly threw in as many Carl Sagan references as possible, and a rocking guitar solo in the middle. The weak part here are the vocals that have that odd tone shifting that happens with aggressive use of autotune.
That aside, this song is annoyingly catchy.

Rocks as hard as Carl Sagan did. Please don't ask "who?", you'll upset me.

Cosmic_Symphony_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:42; male vocals; 3.6MiB.

 

Requiem for a Shadowed Purr

This time I wanted a gothic rock song about the death of a beloved cat, complete with an epic violin and guitar duel. It delivered - and even made reference to the violin and guitar just before it happened which was pleasingly leaning on the fourth wall. Cats would approve.

If you have ever lost a furry friend, this one's for you.

Requiem_for_a_Shadowed_Purr_fixed.mp3
Runtime 3:17; female vocals; 4.3MiB.

 

Claws of Fire

Now let's go a bit crazy, let's go for an anthemic rock song with multiple vocals about... a kitten heroically battling a mighty dragon. Because why not?

If you're used to Power Metal, then the idea of a little kitten fighting a massive dragon...and winning will not be a surprise. Dragons? Legends? Epic battles? Unlikely heroes? That's what this genre is made of...
...actually, I'm surprised Rhapsody hasn't already done this. ☺

Claws_of_Fire_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:43; multiple male vocals; 3.7MiB.

 

Batch two

These four songs were first uploaded on the 15th of July 2025, with fixed versions on the 20th of July 2025.

 

Divided Shadows

This is a rather gothic song about how polarised everything is, how people would rather hurt each other than try to compromise. Piano, violin, and brush drum.
This one features obvious breathing sounds which, actually, really suits this style of music. It's an interesting touch, given it's not a real person singing.

Divided_Shadows_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:47; female vocals; 3.3MiB.

 

Morning Croissant

Here in France, the morning croissant is SERIOUS. So this is a lovely whimsical piano song about the joy of a croissant. And, trust me, if you want to enjoy one at its best, find a baker in a small town. Sure, one might cost as much as a half dozen at a supermarket. There's a reason why.
I don't often eat croissants, but when I do one absolutely must put the entire world on pause while appreciating something that has a ridiculous number of layers of pastry.
I was hoping for a girl with a French accent, but instead got an American, but at least the few French phrases sound correct.

Morning_Croissant_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:30; female vocals; 3.0MiB.

 

Raindrops and Reveries

I come from a place known for its rain. If you read any of the SIBA stories that I wrote, you'll probably have noticed that rain features prominently. It also used to rain quite a lot here in this part of France, but then we went and broke the weather and all the farmers talk about these days is nappe phréatique (water table) and sécheresse (drought). I like going for walks in the rain, particularly in forests, but there aren't any forests close by with pathways to walk along (the two closest are closed and private - I think CERN owns one, which is kind of weird but maybe they need some place to store the worn out Hadrons? ☺). So my access lane will have to do. It's just under a kilometre, to the end and back.

This song, mostly acoustic guitar, is about rain. It was also set to have the ambience of a live performance, which is why it is slightly echoey.

Raindrops_and_Reveries_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:48; female vocals; 3.4MiB.

 

A Spot of Tea

And, of course, it's me. So of course tea is going to feature at some point. This is a kind of cheesy perky pop song about, well, tea. Of course it is.

I asked for male and female vocals with a "British accent" (any would do, but this usually translates to RP) and ended up with a perky pop song that sounds like two American women singing in a style that reminds me of Blink 182! The nod to being British is pronouncing "British" as "Bri'ish". Well, okay? guess the v3.5 model just doesn't do accents. Still, it is catchy and amusing. And, yes, I did guide it towards name dropping The Big Four (Tetley, PG Tips, Typhoo, and of course Yorkshire).
I asked for this to be written in a specific time signature (hint: not 4:4/common) but I think it just stuck to regular 4:4 rather than the 6:4 that I asked for.

A_Spot_of_Tea_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:41; female vocals; 3.3MB.

 

Batch three

These five songs were first uploaded on the 26th of July 2025.

 

Eternal December

This was inspired by Threads (which was recently broadcast on BBC Four); it's about the aftermath of a nuclear war. I was very verbose in my description as I wasn't sure if "nuclear war" would trigger some sort of "nope!" filter, and I asked for a darkwave eighties style synth-led song. The AI took numerous phrases from my description - Eternal December, twilight of humanity, it'll all be over soon, and in the dark we fade away - nothing special, but it was pretty nifty that it absolutely understood what I was aiming for, and delivered.
As I'm sure you can guess, I really like this song.
Eternal_December_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:06; female vocals; 2.7MiB.

 

Shadows Awake

I was looking for another dark song, this time piano led, about the fact that all those monsters under the bed and in the closet are real and once the lights go off - that's when you're their prey. This was supposed to be a female vocal, but I guess the AI felt that a male vocal was better for this song. 🤷

Shadows_Awake_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:33; male vocals; 3.2MiB.

 

Shadows into Light

And just to show that it's not all darkness and fear, here's a quirky piano song about... tea. Are you surprised? This is about as joyful as a nice cup of tea. 🥰 🥰

Shadows_into_Light_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:23; female vocals; 2.9MiB.

 

The Spellbinder's Dance

This was my attempt to get the AI to create a Celtic flavoured song. This is pretty good, but it required a lot of editing at the end as it would do an ending sound flourish only to carry on. I had to whittle out about twenty seconds of weirdness to get the ending using Audacity. I hope I did an okay job. There's also a missing word at 1:34, it's supposed to say "Blood and root" but the word "blood" is missing. I don't know if it's a hiccup or some sort of content filtering (so, like, songs about vampires might be problematic? 😂 ).

The_Spellbinders_Dance_fixed.mp3
Runtime 3:06; female vocals; 3.8MiB.

 

Batch four

These nine songs were first uploaded on the 8th of August 2025.

 

Chaos Constellation

The design specification for this was pretty simple: I wanted a traditional style heavy metal song with word-salad lyrics that sound profound but are actually meaningless gibberish.
The AI did not disappoint - with whispered and yelled nonsense and a pretty standard song structure and noisy guitars... this is... actually it's a little too close to some real groups who should best remain unnamed. 😂

Fragments shatter / Black winds churn / Crimson echoes / Planets burn
Vortex spirals / Venomous tide / Whispers fracture / Stars collide...

Chaos_Constellation_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:45; male vocals; 3.7MiB.

 

Eternal Abyss

I tried asking for gothic drone metal with a dark ambience, as an instrumental. It didn't quite understand drone metal but gave me something that was suitably dark. I had to put in a harsh fade-out as it aborted at four minutes, the longest possible on the free tier. I think it would have happily carried this one for quite a bit longer if it could have. I guess Suno has read the news...

It is also worth noting that the 'feel' of this song is quite different to the others, not just because it is notably darker but also because at long last Suno finally delivered something in 6 4 time rather than the 4 4 that practically everything else is written in.

  • For those who aren't so familiar with music structure, if you listen for the most emphasised beat in a piece of music (it's easier with pop/rock as the drums guide you), you can count off one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four and you'll notice that important things, starts of lines, and so on almost always line up with the 'one'.
    This piece of music counts to six, which makes it feel rather different, especially compared to regular common time music.
    This isn't that unusual. While it is so usual to use 4 4 that it gets called "common time", many other time signatures exist. A waltz, for instance, is 3 4 (one, two, three, one, two, three...) and prog rock can do all sorts of weird and wonderful time signatures. And if you're Dream Theater, all of them in the same song!

Eternal_Abyss_fixed.mp3
Runtime 4:00; instrumental; 4.8MiB.

 

Quantum Groove

For part of my nerdy collection, a synth-driven alt-pop song giving a crash course into quantum physics. I'll let other people scream about how its understanding of the quantum world is probably akin to that of the Daily Mail's science editor (that's not a compliment). Still, entanglement and probability and that cat in that box all get referenced, along with superpositions (but not by name).

Quantum_Groove_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:45; male vocals; 3.3MiB.

 

Golden Alchemy

Another one of my nerdy collection, a gentle piano-led song about the Maillard Reaction. What more can I say?

Yes... I'm enough of a nerd to enjoy a song about the chemistry of what happens when you take food and add fire.

Golden_Alchemy_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:13; female vocals; 2.8MiB.

 

Storm's Fury

This one was interesting. I wanted a gentle slightly-emo piano song that sounds almost upbeat but lyrical dissonance as the lyrics themselves are about a thunderstorm and are pretty dark. The vocals sound to me like a cross between Aurora and Grace VanderWaal, with an almost British-sounding singer.
I especially like the way this one ends.

Storms_Fury_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:14; female vocals; 2.9MiB.

 

A Whisper in the Dark

Here's one for all of the introverts out there that just want to be left the hell alone. This one is bit of a copyright mess because one of the verses was written by me along with numerous modifications to the generated lyrics. I went through a day's worth of generations trying to get a song that sounded good and bothered to actually include the third verse, because it seems the AI has an idea of how a song should flow and if you mess with it then it gets upset and does something else. Indeed, in this one decided to repeat a pre-chorus and chorus after the second verse - you can hear the bit about "the world's a stage" at 1:10 and again at 1:36, and then we crash straight into the third verse. Well, some of the other generations were weirder...

All of that aside, this is how I feel when I have to go to urban areas. Like, ugh, people.

A_Whisper_in_the_Dark_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:49; female vocals; 3.5MiB.

 

Rain Revival

The flip side of Storm's Fury is getting caught in the rain and enjoying it. This is an unashamedly '70s-inspired disco song about exactly that.

Rain_Revival_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:45; female vocals; 3.7MiB.

 

Shadows of the Playground

1985 was when I started boarding school. It was forty years ago, and the ARM processor has just celebrated it's 40th birthday. A small group of people would work on porting the BBC MOS to ARM which would be released in 1987 as Arthur, and quickly updated to be the beginnings of RISC OS as it has remained ever since. The internet's DNS was also created in 1985 so people could remember names like slashdot and stardot rather than trying to remember things like 216.105.38.15 and 82.148.225.179 respectively. Neighbours begins, and New Coke is one of the biggest corporate mistakes of the year. Rainbow Warrior goes down, Live Aid comes up.
Yes, I'm a dinosaur, and this song is about going back to the place where you grew up and realising that time has taken more than memories. Clearly not a happy song.

Shadows_of_the_Playground_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:50; female vocals; 3.8MiB.

 

Under the Old Oak Tree

And finally, what could be more peaceful and lovely than sitting under an old oak tree to enjoy a good book, along with a nice cup of tea? 🥰 🥰 🥰
It is short but lovely.

Under_the_Old_Oak_Tree_fixed.mp3
Runtime 2:05; female vocals; 2.9MiB.

Monsters In My Routine and God

As described on the 3rd of December 2025 blog entry.

Runtime 3:18; 4.4MiB.

 

Turning The Knobs

The first song that I wrote the lyrics for! And it's about a godlike entity messing with us humans.

Turning_The_Knobs.mp3
Runtime 3:19; 4.7MiB.

 

More to come!

So there you have it. I think we can say that I create...
  • Happy songs about tea (and croissants)
  • Perky songs about nerdy sciencey things
  • Over the top (power) metal songs about ridiculous things like rubber ducks and warrior kittens
  • And everything else ticks whatever goth/emo/darkwave box you care to offer

What will turn up next? If you have ideas, leave a note in the comments of one of my blog articles, or send me an email if it's weird enough that you don't want to admit to it being your idea. ☺ Email address at the top of the page.

 

And that weird one...

Here's an extra bonus. This isn't one of my proper AI songs, this was just me messing around; first uploaded on the 26th of July 2025. There is no 'fixed' version (I have only added tags, no re-encode), so the play duration and seeking may be messed up. Exactly how depends upon what you're using to play this song.

Udderly Immortal

The concept is simple. It's a power metal song told from the perspective of a cow that is happy to be pumped full of hormones to make endless amounts of milk, and when it gets too old for that, it is ecstatic to be slaughtered for hamburgers and beef steaks, the latter being cow Valhalla. I actually burst out in giggles at work when I came up with this idea, and my cow-orkers were "huh?" because, well, it was all a bit of a catastrophe and my response was unexpected. Hey, do you think when I'm doing rote work at work I'm going to give my full concentration to something that could be an autonomous passed off to a cheap little eight bit low-bandwidth thinking unit? Oh, no, I think about billions of other things. And once in a while, weird ideas to try making songs (or AI art) about. And sometimes I even remember them by the time I get home. Whether or not I should have remembered this concept, I'll let you be the judge.

I told the AI to go completely over the top with this one.
It did.

Udderly_Immortal_original.mp3
Runtime 2:52; female vocals; 4.1MiB.

If you don't understand what she's screaming about, here are the lyrics. They are also embedded in the MP3 file, along with some gloriously over-the-top album art (also generated by AI) that you can see at the bottom of the blog entry where I first introduced this song.
There might not be a bovine ruminant on the face of this dinky little lump of rock that doesn't want to hoof me in the face right now, so please understand: Moo moo moo-moo moo moo moo mooooo moo moo-moo moo. (translation: this was done purely for sarcasm and comedy value)
