I Have Done My Best - Jag har gjort mitt bäst.

Here is my latest ballad (2026-03-24). The lyrics and melody are mine. The singer and accompaniment are by Suno.ai. Since Suno.ai is not a notation program, the melody is sent to it as an MP3 or wave file. Then Suno.ai is told the intros, solos, and endings. It does this by browsing its vast music library. Sending your own melody is not necessary, i.e., Suno.ai can do that too, but your own melody creates a sense of personality.

I have written the lyrics in Swedish.

I Have Done My Best

Why should I fear death?
I have done my best,
And it has not been enough.

Now is my time to unite
With the eternal voidness
From the earthly voidness
without opening my eyes.

Note

Many people look down on people who use AI programs. Yet in my case, when I give the melody and the lyrics, I do the same things as when I have gone into the studio and sung the vocal part myself. The studio musicians have done the arrangements. I myself draw the line at using AI without any of my own input.

Many famous poets have had their poems composed, but not unknown ones. AI gives this kind of opportunity, which is a good thing. The art world is a rough battlefield, where grants and other opportunities are obtained through relationships. People who have come forward in this way are not necessarily better than those who have been left behind. Of course, when it comes to superior talent, he cannot be sidelined even if he has no relationships.

Suno.ai accepts in square brackets:

Here are the types of words and commands Suno.ai accepts in square brackets:

1. Song Structure & Sections

These tags help organize the flow of the song. 

• [Intro] / [Instrumental Intro]
• [Verse] / [Verse 1], [Verse 2]
• [Chorus] / [Chorus 1]
• [Pre-Chorus]
• [Bridge]
• [Chorus: Interlude]
• [Drop] / [Epic Drop] / [Beat Drop]
• [Solo] / [Guitar Solo] / [Saxophone Solo]
• [Outro] / [Fade Out] / [End]
• [Interlude] 

2. Vocal Styles & Techniques

These instruct the AI on how to deliver the vocals. 

• [Whispered] / [Whispered Intro]
• [Spoken] / [Spoken Word] / [Conversational]
• [Shouted] / [Gang Shouts] (common in punk/rock)
• [Screamed] / [Harsh Vocals]
• [Ad-libs] / [Vocal Ad-libs]
• [Harmony] / [Layered Vocals]
• [Female Vocal] / [Male Vocal] (to switch singers)

3. Instrumentation & Vibe

These define the musical accompaniment for specific sections. 

• [Acoustic] / [Piano Only]
• [Heavy Guitar] / [Distorted]
• [Drum Break]
• [Bass Drop]
• [Atmospheric]
• [Fast Tempo] / [Slow]

4. Advanced/Combined Tags

You can combine instructions for more precise control. 

• [Verse 2 - Emotional, soft]
• [Chorus - High energy, piano]
• [Bridge - Distorted spoken]

Best Practices for Brackets

• Keep it simple: Too many words can confuse the AI or cause it to sing the instructions.
• Structure vs. Style: Use brackets [ ] for structure/instrumentation, and parentheses ( ) for vocal delivery or background vocals.
• Placement: Place tags on their own line before the lyrics they apply to. 

Note: While Suno often obeys these tags, they are not guaranteed to work 100% of the time, functioning more as suggestions to the AI model. 

Lullaby named I Lull My Child – Kannan tunturilla

I wrote this lullaby in the early 1990s. I was on tour as a troubadour in Finnish Lapland. During that trip, I had several gigs that also featured Sámi songwriters. They sang their own songs and traditional yoiks. One morning after waking up in a motel, I grabbed my guitar, and the song, with its lyrics, was born from that sitting. At some point, I was shown a video of reindeer herds being released from their pens into the wild. At that time, the light was on its side because the sun had barely risen above the horizon and was quickly disappearing from view. There is a season in Lapland when the sun does not rise at all, but that phase was behind us. Other elements came from my dream, where I carried my son in my arms on the fells. When he was a baby and a toddler, I was a stay-at-home dad when I was not on gigs.

No Sucn Thing as Death

There is no such thing as death. There is only life, passing from one person to another. What we call death is the end of a person’s life, not the beginning of death. For death to exist, it must contain something. But it is nothing, not even emptiness.

Universes Go on Infinitely

Take me to the moon.
I'll fly with you.
From the moon
I want to go
to another galaxy.
To the red one
they're talking about.
We can also go
to the other
side
of
galaxies.
That's
what
They're talking about it too.
I don't believe them.
Universes
never end.
They go on
infinitely.

In alto mari - Aavalla merllä - On the Open Sea

 

In alto mari

Viros velos ad vento dant,
nam in alto mari 
illos dolores et curas 
omittunt.

Aavalla merellä

Miehet lähtevät purjehtimaan,
sillä aavalla merellä
he tuskat ja murheet
unohtavat.

On the Open Sea

Men go sailing,
because on the open sea
they forget sorrows
and worries.

The Latin saying "Vela ventis dare" literally means to give the sails to the wind.
