"Guide in the Dark" - Synthia Nova (An AI-Generated Song)

I know, I'm a day late; work has been... distracting and draining lately. But anyway, I think this is one of Synthia's best songs, at least in terms of the generation process. It's a rare sad song from her, about the death of her grandmother, and it had zero formatting issues. It's also a metal song, which is not unheard of from her, but rare compared to her usual penchant for pop, folk, and synth music. And then when I pulled it into Suno, it took me only two generation rounds to get the entire song, and one more generation round to get the outro.
This is one that will definitely be going on the Synthia Nova Hits album if I ever make one 😁 (The distortion at this point I think is inevitable with long songs on the 3.5 model, but I'm accepting it as long as it's distorted bass and not high-frequency nails on a chalkboard.)

"Guide in the Dark" by Synthia Nova
------
[Verse]
Underneath the willow tree, where shadows dance with light
Felt her spirit touching me, in the silence of the night
Memories like silver threads, weaving through my heart
Though she's gone, she guides me still, never far apart
I remember holding hands, my mom and I in tears
The world felt so much colder as I faced my deepest fears
But her wisdom lingers on, in every word she said
Her love is like a melody, an echo in my head
[Chorus]
When the nights grow long and dark, her voice is my guide
In the whisper of the trees, in the wind's soft sighs
She left a strength inside of me, a fire that won't die
Though she's gone, she lives in me and I know I can fly
[Verse]
Oh, the flowers bloom and fade, seasons come and go
But her love remains the same, in the heart's warm glow
Every time I feel the pain, I remember her smile
And I find the strength within to walk another mile
[Chorus]
When the nights grow long and dark, her voice is my guide
In the whisper of the trees, in the wind's soft sighs
She left a strength inside of me, a fire that won't die
Though she's gone, she lives in me, and I know I can fly
[Bridge]
In the quiet of a summer's day, I close my eyes and see
Her face so full of wisdom, her love surrounding me
The loss is just a part of life, but the memories will stay
And in those moments, I find her, guiding me always
[Chorus]
When the nights grow long and dark, her voice is my guide
In the whisper of the trees, in the wind's soft sighs
She left a strength inside of me, a fire that won't die
Though she's gone, she lives in me, and I know I can fly
Though she's gone, she lives in me, and I know I can fly

The main memory Synthia Nova *imagined* to inspire this song:
"When I was 14, I lost my grandmother, who I was very close to. She had always been a huge part of my life, offering wisdom and comfort. Her passing left a void that felt impossible to fill; I was devastated. I remember attending her funeral, holding my mom's hand, and letting the tears flow freely as memories of her filled my mind. The atmosphere was somber, but there was also a sense of love as family gathered to honor her. I felt heartbroken and overwhelmed by grief, trying to navigate the immense loss while cherishing her memory."
