Note about the "2025/2026 Remixes." Since I don't currently have the resources to book studio time or musicians, I am polishing my old demos in Suno. I'm doing my best to keep Suno from making alterations to my compositions, and succeeding about two thirds of the time, but it is an uphill battle. For the sake of transparency, I am making an effort to delineate all of the (usually very slight) alterations Suno has made to the recordings, but it will take a while. In the meantime, once you've heard a "remix" to hear how I want the song to sound, you may want to scroll down to the original demo, which, in a few cases, will be a better representation of how the song _goes_. Until I've finished those notes, I can tell you that everything except "Celestial Street" (which goes off the rails at about the 3:30 mark) is close to identical to my original compositions, with tiny changes in chord voicings (i.e. choice of inversions, etc.) or slight interpretations of the melody that any singer would make in a cover version anyway. ====== I am what you might call a musical generalist. I listen to pretty much everything and I compose in pretty much any style, though I concentrate mainly on folk, folk-rock, rock, synth-pop, alternative, comedy, musical theatre, jazz, new-age, film music, avant-garde, and the occasional lullaby (why sing your kid to sleep with "Rock-a-bye Baby" when you can can create something personalized?). I've done most of my professional (i.e. paid) work in the theatre, where I've been musical director for dozens of productions. I was also musical director of Mental Floss, the legendary Miami improv group, for over 500 performances; I recently did a stint with Laughing Gas, which rose from the ashes of Mental Floss 11 years ago to become the longest running improv group in South Florida. As a singer-songwriter, I've concentrated most of my energy on my signature style of synth-driven folk-rock (sort of Indigo Girls meets Vangelis). I'm also something of a minor celebrity in the world of Filk (folk music for science fiction fans), where I am proud to be the object of the worlds smallest international fan base.

Story behind the song
Remixed using Suno. My only quibble is that it slightly fudges the chords of the first bridge section ("The air so thin/halfway to space..."), but only slightly. I also wanted the instrumental solo over the outro to be a Beatles-esque piccolo trumpet, as in my original demo, but every time I instructed Suno to add that, it put a brass part throughout the entire song, which I did not want. There's also a slight glitch going into the line "There may be time to see it all," but this is still the best version Suno produced after about 10 tries.
Lyrics
[verse 1] Five miles up We rise up To touch the sun I'm sailing I'm flying home from England Six hours By jet power The world's become so small There may be time to see it all [bridge] The air so thin Halfway to space The tour dissolves into a state of grace [verse 2] The journey Is learning I am returning home And home is anywhere I am with you [instrumental] [bridge] Outside my window The Earth curves away into nothing And I must sail beyond the edge I'm not afraid of finding nothing I know I'll see you again [verse 3] Arriving Soft landing And you are waiting there You hold me close and run your fingers through my hair Back home now Relaxing Like I was never gone I hope this feeling will go on and on Feeling that I'm home I'm home [outro]
