Covers of “Tricera Girl” from Odes to My Triceratops, Vol. 1

A couple of weeks ago or so, I uploaded a YouTube video that contained four covers of this song, from the middle-school period of William Griffin’s life. He’s the protagonist of the Odes to My Triceratops song cycle. But I found issues with the audio quality, caused by a faulty pipeline. Although that’s now fixed, I’ve needed to fix the songs involved, and I also created two more for good measure, so the new video has six covers.

“Tricera Girl” is one of my favorite songs of the first album. It embodies very well the wonder and desire of an early teenager who realizes he’s found the love of his life and doesn’t quite know how to handle it.

New song “A Tribute a True a Work of a Art (post-punk version)” from Odes to My Triceratops, Vol. 4

This song launches the fourth album, right after William seemingly kills himself right at the end of the previous album. I made this song, along with about four others of this album, during the last stretch when Udio was usable.

You could tell, unfortunately, that Udio was involved in the production of this song, because the composition is far more complex than what Suno 6.0 produces, even when you directly remix the original Udio song. That was due to Udio allowing the generation of 30-seconds-long segments at a time, and letting you extend the song in either direction as you pleased. No service allows that anymore, not sure why. You can hear the entirety of the original Udio song, not the Suno remixes, at the end of the video.

New song “Hermit Hemisphere” from Odes to My Triceratops, Vol. 4

I’ve bitten the bullet and decided to create my first new Odes song from the fourth album on Suno 6.0. I’ve genuinely explored alternative services and models, but none are up to par even with the original Udio, so I’m all out of luck when it comes to keeping my previous workflow. But I’ve made it work with Suno 6.0, I think. I’m quite happy with how “Hermit Hemisphere” came out.

Covers of “The Burning Heart Inside Your Throat” from Odes to My Triceratops, Vol. 1

I’m remaking my old Udio-era songs with the new Suno 6.0, which is terrible for making songs from zero, but amazing at remixing them.

This song, the first album’s closer, is one of my favorites from William’s middle-school era, but the quality of the audio was so bad that it hurt to listen. Now that we’ve gotten the boys in the studio again, the song can finally be listened to in all its magnificence.

I’m Cactus from Odes to My Triceratops, Vol. 1 (Redux)

Suno will legitimately be useless to create most of the new songs of the fourth album, but I can still spend my subscription redoing songs from the previous albums whose sound quality had suffered. Here’s one of my favorites from the first album: “I’m Cactus,” the tale of young William’s inability to take care properly of his single plant.

I’ve already redone other songs, so soon enough I’ll upload new YouTube videos with the redone versions.
