Thanks. It looks like I am late to that party.

WOW!! I am amazed that AI could do the voices so well, but your putting together the lyrics, tune, etc, etc is quite the accomplishment! About 5 years ago I gave my DAW to a friend, because I was trying to simplify things, and wanted to just get back to playing acoustic stuff. But hearing this makes me wish I still had the DAW.

If Ford is smart (not that they are) they'll give you $1,000,000 for the rights. They should saturate the airwaves with it, in preparation for the new Lightning. Even though the new one will be substantially different, having a song that gets at the emotional appeal of the current truck, says "Ford can create some great things." It frames the current truck as a success rather than as kind of a flop, which seems to be the way Ford is pitching it.

(Far better that Ford should capitalize on the Lightning being the best selling EV Pickup in history, instead of sweeping it under the rug. If they believe it is a dud, then customers will start to believe that Ford Makes Duds. Keep producing the current one, refining it along the way, and then see what the market really wants and wants to pay for. )

Ford marketing needed you like 1-2 years ago.

In light of the current news of assault on EVs and particularly assassination attempt on Lightning, I would like to share the attached file with my fellow Lightning owners to assure you that Lightning will live on for years to come. Hopefully those of you that like it will have something to listen to during holidays and those that don't like it, you can go ......... enjoy your favorite music instead

Feel free to share. I own the copyrights.

Happy holidays

p.s. the site does not allow mp3 attachments so I had to zip it.

That was awesome!!! Great job! The lyrics were outstanding as was the arrangement!
I can’t believe no one has given a shout out to the lyrics mentioning @TaxmanHog !

@Ford Motor Company would have sold out their Lightning manufacturing capacity if they had this song for their marketing! Thanks, Maxx, for a fantastic song that hooks you from the start!

I appreciate the complements. It is not just Ford. GM did the same with EV1 and Bolt. It is about shot term profit or those CEOs won't be able to keep their jobs. The way I see it, if Ford lost money on this, it means we got it at a discount.

I had to pay the tax to taxmanhog to make sure my post is not removed Kidding aside he has had my back since day one from reservation to purchase to ownership. And the same for rest of us. A mention would be the least I could do.

Due to positive response, I added a house version of the same lyrics to the original post for the younger folks with better hips.

Agreed!
He is a fair and honorable warden!

Kudos @Maxx , great job on both versions. There are a couple of tiny giveaways that the vocals are AI, but you have to really listen for them to hear it.

I have no idea how much time you spent gathering the skills and actually making these, but wow that's inspirational. Going to send to a friend who's wanting to get into this as well.

I agree with others... @Ford Motor Company , hire this person to do your marketing, give them a fat budget and absolute free reign on creativity and you could start the Lightning line back up the week afterwards.

Yup, there are couple of spots both with lyrics and composition that bugs me but with the short attention span I have these days, perfection was not the goal. I just wanted to get it out quick while the feeling about the news was fresh. I still have a lot to learn about how to talk to AI. Each model has it’s own personality.

And regarding AI, it has made everything I learned about modeling and animation obsolete in a blink of an eye. But that has always been the case with any tech. I am sure horses are happy they are not pulling people and cargo all day.

Thanks for the kind words.

"Drivin thru the fog, lightnin is always there for me like @TaxmanHog "
I love it! Taxman was likely the first bit of help I got here on the forum!
Those are great lyrics, and seems like Suno is all it's cracked up to be. Been watching Rick Beato talk about it a lot on YT. I'm gonna have to give it a try for something. I may be out of a job soon! I teach music in public schools.
