Slug in the rain, the rock opera. Logic Pro Mac Demo
I keep exploring writing for genres I never wrote for. So a few day ago, on a rainy day, I took that photo of a slug trying to get into the beer can some asshole left in the street. Gave me the inspiration for this song.
On a dreary, rainy day,
By the roadside gray,
A little slug set out to find
A shelter from the stormy fray.
Slithering slow, leaving trails behind,
In search of a place, a haven to find,
Then there it was, a can left astray,
A remnant of someone's yesterday.
Oh, slug in the rain, find your way,
In a world that's cold and gray,
A sip of beer in the can's embrace,
Gives a slug's life a dizzying grace.
The can’s rusty rim, a fortress of old,
Inside, a puddle of amber gold,
With a curious touch and a slimy slide,
The slug ventured in, nothing to hide.
A taste of the brew, so strange and new,
A slug's adventure, a dream come true,
In the shimmering drops, reflections of light,
A tiny creature in the soft twilight.
Oh, slug in the rain, find your way,
In a world that's cold and gray,
A sip of beer in the can's embrace,
Gives a slug's life a dizzying grace.
In the echoes of the rain, a melody,
A drunken dance, a fantasy,
With every move, the world spun around,
A slug's delight in the liquid found.
As the rain poured down, a lullaby,
The slug found joy beneath the sky,
In the can's embrace, a world so vast,
A moment of freedom, too precious to last.
Oh, slug in the rain, find your way,
In a world that's cold and gray,
A sip of beer in the can's embrace,
Gives a slug's life a dizzying grace.
When the storm subsides and the dawn appears,
The slug will slumber, forget its fears,
In a can on the roadside, a tale will remain,
Of a slug's wild night in the pouring rain.

Definitely a new genre! Excellent composition and production. I like the new voice you chose for this. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but this one sounds a little like Michael Bolton. I will deny this, but I actually like his voice. Never a dull moment with you, Joe!
Thanks buddy. I won’t do any more work on this one. Took me already too much time. Not totally sure about the voice. It is close to what I wanted, but could not get the results I needed, so I eventually said fuck that and settled.
Haha. Fun song.
What are you using to generate the vocals?

I read in another of your post that you sang with lots of auto tuning. Did you sing this one too ? I agree with @Paulieworld there is some resemblance to Michael Bolton. Nice guitar shredding 😎
I had the same question, John ! Especially regarding the lyrics which have this typical AI generated touch.
Glad to see the lyrics printed here. I listened to this on YouTube and was curious to see them. Very well produced and I enjoy the silliness of the concept. This works perfectly for my odd sense of humor.
The vocals on this one are made in ace studio. You can use midi but it is painfully slow. I used my cleaned up auto tuned vocal track as an input, a trained model of my voice mixed with 3 other voice models, and some manual adjustments in ace.
The lyrics I started writing a few lines then finished in the new ChatGPT.
Just goes to show that musical inspiration can come from the most random events! What a great track though, with some very tasty guitar playing!
Tremendous fun… and I like your new approach… ‘ so I eventually said fuck that and settled.’ 😊
