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.

The Rotten Apples

I am tired of humans.
They are monsters,
Or let’s say,
There are too many
monsters among decent
people, and they,
like a rotten apple,
spoils the whole
fruit basket.
The gas of evil
Toxicities me.

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet; I Have Run out of Mahorka

 

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet

Mahorkat ovat loppuneet.
Pittää männä lafkaa.
Sit ku miä oon tult

miä sytän lampin,
söön kaakkuu
ja joon kohvii.

Ono kumma,
jot lanterna ei puttoo
tuulees allaa
krintsan pinnalle.

Jag har gjort mitt bästa; I Have Done My Best

 
Jag har gjort mitt bästa 

Varför skulle jag frukta döden?
Jag har gjort mitt bästa,
och det har inte varit tillräckligt.

Nu är det min tid att förena mig
med det eviga tomrummet
från det jordiska tomrummet
utan att öppna ögonen.

Mitt hjärta är i oro; My Heart is Troubled

 

Mitt hjärta är i oro

Mitt hjärta är i oro.
Jag vill gå till skogen
där kan jag vara mig själv,
vara i fred från människors
galenskap.
Människornas lösningar
är obehagliga
och deras öron
är döva.

My Heart is Troubled

My heart is troubled.
I want to go to the forest
where I can be myself,
be at peace from the madness
of people.
People’s solutions
are unpleasant
and their ears
are deaf.

Ko inhimiin vanhaks tulloo; When Human Grows Old

 Ko inhimiin vanhaks tulloo

Ko inhimiin vanhaks tulloo,
silmät vässyyt väsymistä,
käet heikoiks käyvvät.
Meeli alkaa muissois harpata.
Rakkahus kukat valeloo,
pöllyt pyyhkii patrettiloist.
Syän ystävät toivoo
unneen iänikkäisee.

When Human Grows Old

When human grows old,
Eyes grow tired
And hands become weak.
The mind begins to wander back in time.
Love waters the flowers,
Wipes the dust from the photographs.
The heart wishes friends
In eternal sleep.

1894 Esperanto Reform Project

 

In 1894, L. L. Zamenhof, who was the original creator of the constructed language Esperanto, proposed a complete series of reforms to Esperanto (in other words, an Esperantido). It is notable as the only complete Esperantido to be authored by Zamenhof himself, and it was presented in response to various reforms that had been proposed by others since the language's publication in 1887. The project was eventually rejected by the language's speakers, and subsequently even by Zamenhof himself. Some of the proposed reforms were used in another constructed language, Ido, beginning in 1907.

I've created a free Christmas postcard in the Ido language for you.

Aika inhimiselle

Käyn joen rantaa kera veen.

Time for the Humans

I go along the river bank with the water.
Soon, the water flows without me.
That’s the time for the humans.
It does not change the face of the stream.
It gossips in the wind
and whispers in silence.

Wiktionary does not recognize the words mantaki (Nirvi 303), tistaki (Nirvi 588), and suntaki (Nirvi 550).

Nirvi plus a number refers to the dictionary of Ingrian dialects edited by R. E. Nirvi in ​​1971. Alla kuva kirjan nimilehdestä, missä on

Below is a picture of Nirvi’s dedication inscription to academician Kustaa Vilkuna.

Ei oo ehtoisa sia; Not a Lovely Destination

 I have written this poem using the Ingrian language that my grandmother spoke. I checked the conjugations with Wiktionary. I also looked up words from the dictionary of Ingrian dialects that I received a week ago, edited by R. E. Nirvi in 1971.

Ei oo ehtoisa sia
