This is another AI cover I tried out with Suno, based on some older music of mine.
Back in 2013, I had a live instrument setup running through my DAW that let me improvise on multiple instruments at a time, plus voice, and make up songs on the spot. The next song I was about to do was going to be "staying up too late." I started the track and was about to start singing on that topic when my girlfriend at the time texted me. She was at a shopping mall with her young daughter, treating her to a day out — but she had gotten really tired of it and wanted to go home, while her daughter wanted to keep going. She was texting me her frustration at being a mother.
I looked over at my phone as the recording was going, and I just started singing her text messages as they came in. That went on for the next few minutes, and I think it turned out amazing. So I guess you could say she wrote the lyrics.
In 2025 I fed it into Suno and gave it a heavier track, and a female voice instead of mine, which was more appropriate. For the video, a mother and daughter at a shopping mall: at first they are really happy and the shots are distinct and clear, but as time goes along the images get more and more abstract and psychedelic and blurry, to show her getting more and more frustrated — until she breaks, and they leave the mall.
