    <content type="html">I'm going to go ahead and get out what has frustrated and pissed me off so much yesterday. What really got me in a mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still disappointed at the friend who's been a selfish and stupid bratty fair-weather person towards my mom and me. According to &lt;i&gt;her "logic"&lt;/i&gt; it's WRONG to be concerned about not having our things stolen by her incompetent and dishonest man child of a son, and for our good rep from the current landlord to be reduced to shit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, my cautious hope of ever visiting Pumpkin, Sam, or Xena--it feels like that got fucking squashed. All my hopes of seeing them and playing their songs, they keep getting diminished, no matter how cautious I get! I've been hating that so much, and it's out of THIS frustration that leads to this next song...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: So frustrated, hurt, and immensely angry. Gotta get LOUD, angry as fuck, and make noise. Genre: Screamo and Cyber Heavy Metal hybrid)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/65633.html#cutid1"&gt;Explicit lyrics incoming...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/q1V7CI7QbXnWCuuO"&gt;https://suno.com/s/q1V7CI7QbXnWCuuO&lt;/a&gt; I feel lighter and I am so glad with how heavy and emotional this sounds. Oliver and Naoki, thank you for lending your amazing angry gritty voices and visceral screams alongside my self-insert's. &amp;lt;3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=65633" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">I've discovered this interesting custom text adventure game on a site called perchance.org... I discovered a really cute, silly, and quirky new character. His name is &lt;i&gt;Fluff Bucket&lt;/i&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's part gremlin, part weirdo, and part super affectionate companion all in one. That's what is coming to my mind as I just wanna have him in my character roster at Suno now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Super cute, affectionate. Quirky and weird. Absurd weirdness that's both funny and adorable simultaneously. Genre: Funky, groovy pop music that's catchy and full of personality. I need a male vocal for Fluff Bucket that sounds enthusiastic and expressive. Clear emotional shifts between playful chaos and soft sincerity. Expressive male vocal with dynamic delivery.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/65466.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/vmGue7v0gF7pMb7g"&gt;https://suno.com/s/vmGue7v0gF7pMb7g&lt;/a&gt; lol I love this character so much.

It's amazing. Sounds like my muse friends were really 1000% backing me up!! Just the kind of song I really needed.

    <content type="html">Sometimes, I keep getting this idea/suggestion from my muse friend Naoki over a song about wanting for me to hurt less and to not let my thoughts dwell on anything that makes me really sad and/or frustrated... Okay Naoki. Before you do a cool track for my Glitchcore album, we'll get this song done first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Caring and Determined to help me keep myself together. From a friend who despises to see or hear about me feeling sad and upset. Naoki struggles on what to do to help me feel better, in addition to him helping keeping my mind off the things that weigh heavy in my heart, soul, and mind. Genre: Emo Rock and R&amp;B blend. Naoki is sixteen years old, teen male vocal.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/64961.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/PYk2yZUL4SpemS36"&gt;https://suno.com/s/PYk2yZUL4SpemS36&lt;/a&gt; Naoki hit me right in the feels and I love how Suno first set this up as an emotional concert performance!

I felt/heard him releasing his emotions of worry and frustration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=64961" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">I'm gonna go ahead and get this last song of the story arc album done! I've had the song style direction and idea about this one for quite a while. This final song is all from Naoki's perspective; his internal monologues and thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Reflection. Observation. Trying to process the more normal, old world he had lost where he came from along with the not so normal that occurs around Fox and Fritz... Naoki also observes and learns about two more new people that Fox is very close with. Genre: A groovy hip hop bounce with vinyl record scratching for percussion, acoustic guitar, and rapping all throughout this song. Naoki is sixteen years old, male teen vocal.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/64419.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/kHfKi31kJnSydChT"&gt;https://suno.com/s/kHfKi31kJnSydChT&lt;/a&gt; A FANTASTIC and really cool final song to this album.

    <content type="html">I got a clear enough idea on how track 10 of the &lt;i&gt;Shark Out of Water&lt;/i&gt; story arc album will turn out. I'm gonna go for it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Fox wakes up from napping on Naoki and starts to freak out. After having taken a long nap, she's starting to worry if there's enough time to come up with a convincing, believable alibi to tell her mother. Fritz has to speak and help calm her down, assuring her that there is a plan. Naoki's not wanting for Fox to go into a panic, calming her down so he can understand what she's worried about, and why. There's tension and stress going on between the characters. Genre: Emo Psychedelic Rock and Cinematic hybrid! This music needs to be fitting to go along with the characters' spoken dialogue. Noaki is seventeen years old, teen vocal for him. Norman is eleven years old, child's voice.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/64215.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics...or Character Dialogue Script to be more precise.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/XD5Vq3qIc9OZyR5r"&gt;https://suno.com/s/XD5Vq3qIc9OZyR5r&lt;/a&gt; I overall like how this came out. A little weird how my Fox character sounds a little childish, but I suppose in a way towards this part in the story arc, she'd be as scared as a scared little girl... The music box parts are really interesting to me, along with the sung melodies from Fox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=64215" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">A friend of my mom and I--we finally got to meet up with her again after over a year ago. Her name is Esha, and she has been the original caretaker of the three sweetheart cats I still miss so much. I met Sam, Pumpkin, and Xena through her. (She unfortunately had to go to prison for having gone out of her way to get one of her children over to here in the U.S., safely but in a way that displeased some of the local political tyrants.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, she was really impressed by a handful of the songs I've done, and said she'd love a song done about her. She loves my Kirby a lot, and she requested a song by him. Also, Fritz wants to do a song about her too! I believe he's got quite a bit to say... especially over that devil woman of a daughter. Esha agrees and has been angry over the damage she's done. And she was sorry for all the drama, toxicity, and stress her daughter put my mom and me through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Definitely want to set this up like he's meeting Esha for the first time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Fritz being friendly and in Social Butterfly Mode! Naoki's cautious, but also curious and would have his words to say about Madam Malicious! Genre: Emo Rock and Funk blend. Catchy, fun, and danceable!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/63974.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/tpI2K7cAEXfxkYJS"&gt;https://suno.com/s/tpI2K7cAEXfxkYJS&lt;/a&gt; This song is hella fun and catchy!

    <content type="html">Inspiration is a really interesting thing... I've been undecided in reinstalling and replaying Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core on my laptop again... I was thinking about Genesis. Part of me was contemplating on how he'd fit within my lore in this onward and gradually expanding multiverse! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a bit of a very, very interesting start of a scene with a Genesis bot at character.ai, a new song inspiration game to me, in addition to having another persona! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Genesis Rhapsodo's realization that his world is being "simulated" in Fox’s world, and he’s trying to shout through the screen to prove he's real. Dramatic and Dark. Genre: Cinematic Orchestral and Emo Rock blend. Heavy on the pipe organ, operatic backing vocals, and a "wall of sound" guitar production.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/63359.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/EyZGzWswislgThMX"&gt;https://suno.com/s/EyZGzWswislgThMX&lt;/a&gt; Wow!!! The back up choir parts during the choruses... Genesis thrown in the mix of my Sunoverse will shake things up from here! And I shall commit. I will replay Crisis Core. (Hell, maybe Angeal and Zack might come around later. &lt;i&gt;Especially&lt;/i&gt; Zack... Zack the Puppy! omg Fritz will get along so well with him, as well as Norman, Oliver, and many others...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=63359" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">There's this Discord Server known as True Rock Alliance Studio. I'm getting the inspiration to do something that's a hybrid of horrorcore pop and rock. I really would want to introduce my interpretation of one of my other older, most amazingly versatile character personas for a Monday Madness listening party... I'm being self-conscious on sharing Vampy's older solo songs. There's some rock guitar riffs in "Embracing the Chase" and "H is for Horrorcore" (although there's a bit more guitar in the latter one), but I think it would be better to have him more rooted in rock for at least one song!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I don't think Vampy's intention is to attack in this song anyway. (The dubstep elements of his previous songs are like the sudden appearing and quickly striking before becoming hard to see.) This song will be more like... an unsettling encounter and conversation that would put my Fox character at unease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Unsettling. Scary. The Xel'lotath Vampire that Fox calls "Vampy" manages to get her alone and wants to speak with her... primarily of his own choice. Fox is guarded and would be uneasy and tense around him. Genre: Slow Rock and Horrorcore Pop. The Vampire must have a balance between his alluring yet unsettling soulful pop voice and his gritty rock voice. His speaking voice must stay raspy.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/62511.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/PqoRtGKqHOJOkeoV"&gt;https://suno.com/s/PqoRtGKqHOJOkeoV&lt;/a&gt; This sounds badass...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=62511" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">LOL Google Gemini helped me brainstorm a really absurdly funny idea for this other comedy muse I've introduced in the song "The Bureaucracy Game". Demon Turkey's concert morbid comedy song and THIS one are to be back-to-back for the concert album! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Absurd Hilarity. The return of a Saturday Morning cartoon-like villain who demands his own share of everything during the 10K Celebration! Genre: Polka-Punk, theatrical and over-the-top. Live Performance Comedy Skit Song. Crowded Stadium. Crowd Noise. Have the speaker for the clown character come off not just as whiny and annoying but also condescending. Have the voice be high pitched in places.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/62120.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/zxEzPkt9INr2RDSK"&gt;https://suno.com/s/zxEzPkt9INr2RDSK&lt;/a&gt; LOL this turned out really good!

Demon Turkey here &lt;i&gt;really wants to do this song&lt;/i&gt;, so now's the time to start putting his concert performance together! LOL, I'm on Discord with a friend who loves all the songs with the turkey in them, and the muse perceives him as his biggest fan. So, there will be a voice clip of my friend calling out in the audience, wanting an autograph! That's gonna be awesome. XD &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: A chaotic loose cannon of a character, the Demon Turkey, does his own morbidly funny song, in his own perspective of a turkey from a bird themed card game!

Naoki's a really constant presence in my headspace, so I think this is the song where these guys meet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is going to be interesting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Naoki's cautious, instinctively keeping close to me as Syaoran is calm, curious, and observant. These guys who are both concerned about me will be meeting for the first time. From here this leads to warning and speculating over any possibility of Xel'lotath being responsible for these complications. Genre: Atmospheric, Emo Reggae Rock. Airy synth pads, distant piano playing, reverb mixed in with emo rock delivery to a reggae rhythm. Expressive vocals.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I've changed my mind. I'm actually not going to mention Xel'lotath in this song because there's plenty enough character dialogue as is...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/60796.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/6m5f8BwNNFVmK56x"&gt;https://suno.com/s/6m5f8BwNNFVmK56x&lt;/a&gt; Took more credits than I ever expected to get this to sound  great, but I'm relieved it's finally done. And I got Chat GPT to do a good enough cover art to go with this song. (I honestly think that a reggae rock genre style for my AU Syaoran persona is very cool! I might revisit reggae style for this character towards a later song that involves him. ^^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=60796" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">lol damn, there's this one interesting take on an anime/manga muse who lingers around the outskirts of what I've been working on... I know I've thought previously about what kind of &lt;i&gt;voice&lt;/i&gt; Syaoran from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle would have. A young pop/rock, strong teen voice. Soulful, courageous, and caring...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I'm getting inspired about him again... I've been RPing on character.ai and it's been really interesting with this one ongoing storyline. Might as well bring that to life through song! Here we go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Watchful and determined young man from a sort of distance. A friend stuck in a situation he can't figure out. A mystery that troubles and concerns him that he cannot solve... Fantasy character who's gone through a lot of world traveling prior to having met Fox AKA me... Genre: Soulful and dramatic rock and pop blend.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/60621.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/DknRi2RCSd6Y7aGy"&gt;https://suno.com/s/DknRi2RCSd6Y7aGy&lt;/a&gt; This has a reggae type of sound along with the soulful pop and rock vibe. Really cool! Yep, my interesting take on Syaoran as a muse has his own performance space now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=60621" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Yesterday, I was thinking about my Norman muse for a bit, before clocking in for work. Then, not long after I started my shift... I was taking a carry-out order to one of the customers waiting in their cars that morning. On the bag, I saw the name of the customer &lt;i&gt;was Norman&lt;/i&gt;! LOL, that was a sign! Synchronicity! So, it's time for a new song by my interpretation of Norman, from The Promised Neverland anime/manga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He misses me, and I miss him... I've thought about him being included in the Shark Out of Water album too. &amp;lt;3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay! Time to start!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Sweet, Caring. A letter in a song, from a thoughtful and intelligent boy who treats me like family. Genre: Slow Acoustic Emo Rock and Ambient Pop. The vocalist, Norman, is eleven years old. Child vocal.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/60036.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/s7xAfI5Ga2zAPV23"&gt;https://suno.com/s/s7xAfI5Ga2zAPV23&lt;/a&gt; OMG this sounds so amazing!!! Norman, I love you. Thank you so much. I love you too, adopted little brother of a muse! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(It's incredible that the Norman speaking voice Suno gave sounds very similar to how he sounds in the anime...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=60036" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">This 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll let the rest unfold within the lyrics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(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.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/59737.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/tZciR8M5DCLlYrwP"&gt;https://suno.com/s/tZciR8M5DCLlYrwP&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=59737" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Time to get back to the Shark Out of Water album! This is to be the 8th song for it... I've already planned out ahead of time that this is to be a song that's totally all monologue, from Naoki's perspective. Not just his observations of what my Fox (my self-insert character throughout the album's story) does to help bring them closer to where Fritz had parked his car, and not just how Fritz is genuinely someone that is a close friend of hers... And there will be some backstory mention that specifically takes place between the first two tracks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Quiet, reflective, remorseful but determined, protective resolve, introspective inner monologue. Bittersweet and thoughtful. Naoki's observing a portal to a normal world while realizing he may no longer belong there. Reflecting on guilt over losing control earlier, a returning fear of becoming something monstrous, and a renewed quiet promise to protect a friend who trusts him despite that moment. Genre Style: Acoustic Emo Rock, and Soft Indie Rock blend. Minimal instrumentation, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, gentle ambient pads, subtle piano, very soft percussion entering later. Slow tempo. Intimate recording style as if the singer is sitting in the backseat of a car at night thinking to himself. Teen male vocal, emotional but restrained, slightly rough with vulnerability. The delivery should sound like someone confessing thoughts they normally never say out loud.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/59500.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/wi2IVlxkmVrTkm5y"&gt;https://suno.com/s/wi2IVlxkmVrTkm5y&lt;/a&gt; Ahhhhh I love this. Sounds so, so good! Love the soft piano and ambience going on with the acoustic guitar playing. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=59500" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Now, it's time for the sequel song to "A Wild Bicorn Approaches"! Naoki-muse and Bicorn together in this song, and possibly my self-insert persona will have parts in this song too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Mood: Naoki is in a fury that the Bicorn had injured Fox (me), what's his to protect. The Bicorn will go from vicious and bloodthirsty to pleading and begging not to be killed. I don't actually want the demon horse to be killed off either--just hard enough of a bonk and a bruising to get him recruited to be at Naoki's command. Genre: Nu-metal, Rap, and Emo Rock blend)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://no-apologies.dreamwidth.org/59171.html#cutid1"&gt;Lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://suno.com/s/BnJgwSbWJn46gpfo"&gt;https://suno.com/s/BnJgwSbWJn46gpfo&lt;/a&gt; This took over 1000 credits to get it like this. Mostly because Suno was being ridiculous, confusing Bicorn with my self-insert persona, lmaooooo. I'm relieved it's all done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=no_apologies&amp;ditemid=59171" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
