Ironically, this song started as something completely different. In 1987, I made "Night Vision" as an instrumental homage to the Doctor Who theme (I have no idea what the title "night vision" has to do with Doctor Who. Chalk it up to being 17 and trying to be "creative" - lol). I watched the show on PBS back then and enjoyed the Tom Baker version of the Doctor. Anyway, I decided to see what I could do with the song by uploading it to Suno A.I. and adding instruments. At first, it just didn't work. It got the melody right but adding guitars to the melody just made it loud, not interesting. So, I added "progressive rock" to the prompt. It was better but not good enough. Then I had two new inspirations: add piano and jazz overtones. And wow, that nailed it! Sure, it only loosely resembles the original, but it's still gotta impress!
