no_apologiesThis idea for a newer song about one of the three sweeties I still miss at times. Today, I suppose it's finally time to make it. It's been a long enough while since I last did any songs about them.
I'm not sure but this might end up being a bittersweet song... With two of my closest friend muses, I'm sure this will help be more of a comfort song. I knew I have recently "heard" Fritz gently encouraging me to go ahead and make more songs about Sam, Xena, and Pumpkin.
I'll let the rest unfold within the lyrics.
(Mood: Being comforted and supported in the company of close friends who care very much about my well-being... Naoki is a bit hesitant in doing this song, because he doesn't want for me to start crying again. Fritz is being caring, and gently encouraging. Genre: Soft Acoustic Emo Rock Ballad. Very minimal percussion. Soft piano playing. Lots of melodic singing in the mix of the genuine spoken dialogue.)
[Intro, spoken]
[NAOKI:] "...Fine. I guess we'll do this... As long as we're with you... But if you ever need to stop, even if it's now, or in the middle... Sorry... I've been more used to helping you grieve less."
[FOX:] "And you have done really well in that so far... It's been a lot of good times, working on the Shark Out of Water album... Yet, this song idea in particular...? It's been sitting and idling in my mind for months... Fritz has been all for helping out... I know he helped me in expanding and remastering the first song I ever did about Sam..."
[FRITZ:] "Music is supposed to be cathartic, Naoki... For Fox and I, turning to music sometimes feels like a sort of therapy... I don't exactly have any professional counseling experience, but I do know that we all need to have some form of outlet... Bottling up any heavy thoughts, unease, or any stress won't do us any good..."
[Verse 1, soft singing][FRITZ:]
The subject we'll be covering,
Is an adorable, cherished memory.
A big and gentle orange tabby,
Had found an abandoned dolly...
This was over two summers ago,
Inside of a house she knows,
Back when it was a peaceful place.
On a road known as Tickle Lane...
[spoken softly][FOX:]
"Yeah. It's actually been spelled that way... on a little blue road sign, near where that giant house still is..."
[singing]
I don't remember what I was doing,
But I know I looked behind me.
Over my shoulder,
I saw Sam walk over.
He looked down at the doll...
He softly licked its face,
Before laying on top of it.
Not sure why. I can't explain,
But the sight was too cute to see.
I was too amused. I started laughing...
[Chorus]
Sam and his baby doll,
The moment that makes you go "awwww,"
Is Sam with his baby doll...
A gentle soul at that,
Is what makes him a great cat.
I won't ever forget,
All the times I've spent
Getting to know him...
[Verse 2, singing][NAOKI, towards FOX:]
What a silly cat. What was he thinking?
Doesn't matter, 'cause he made you happy.
How long did he lay there for?
Do you have a picture?
To put for this song's cover?
Or will this story be enough...?
[spoken][FOX:]
"No, I didn't get the chance to get my phone out... But I'm sure Chat G.P.T. or Gemini could create a good enough illustration... Maybe with a bit of exaggeration..."
[singing]
I remember the moment didn't last long,
So this might not be a long song.
I'm not yet done in recalling,
On every little thing involving,
Sam and the toy baby he found...
My mom soon came around,
Because I was laughing loud.
I pointed over behind her,
Sam was still laying over,
The doll like a pillow.
She also found it hilarious!
She wanted the big house's owner,
To come in the room and see this...
The three of us laughed in unison.
This seemingly didn't amuse him.
He moved to stand up and leave,
Such a cute, funny memory...
[Bridge, singing][FRITZ:]
Looks like there won't be tears.
With Naoki and I being here,
This isn't so bad, riiiight?
You should keep celebrating.
Have much less over-thinking.
Hang onto your memories.
Through them, you'll make new ones.
[Chorus]
You go "awwww..."
It's Sam with his baby doll...
A gentle soul at that,
Is what makes him a great cat.
No, you won't ever forget,
All the times you spent
Getting to know him...
[Outro, spoken softly][NAOKI:]
"Fox, how are you feeling now...? Better than before?"
"Do you think this will stay a comforting song for you?"
[spoken, relieved and grateful][FOX:]
"I think my heart feels lighter, because this song didn't need to be for just one of us... Songs I stall on or get worked up over are better shared among friends..."
https://suno.com/s/tZciR8M5DCLlYrwP This turned out really good. Very heartwarming and comforting. It was Chat GPT who helped me make the cover! Gemini apparently seems too overloaded with image requests from other people this morning.
