In 1988, I made lyrics for a song I called "In A Burning Cloud." I wrote the music on acoustic and electric guitar. The lyrics and mood of the song concerned the fears of nuclear war that were very prevalent at the time. I went into the studio with Tony Roberti and Leslie Steury and we recorded it. Tony played expert drums and had some spoken lines while Leslie lent some vocals. I played electric guitar, electric bass and sang on the original version (I'll put the link to it in the comments).


Recently, I uploaded the original version to Suno A.I. and decided to give it what I call "A Jazz Reimagining."


And let me say, you will never hear a prettier sounding song about nuclear war.  It turned out very smooth, give it a listen. Isn't it worth it for the thumbnail alone?

One of the most profound scenes in Allen Steadham's Mindfire (A Christian fiction superhero thriller novel) is between the main character Leia's estranged parents. Her father was the superhero Crusader and her biological mother is the supervillain Malevolence (who hasn't been in their lives for 20 years). At one point, the two of them meet and are able to have a heartfelt talk. It's not romantic, just reminiscing without all the bitterness. They start to make real progress but then something gets in the way. Steadham wrote the lyrics to this song based on what happened in the book. He made the music and voices with Suno A.I.

From my Christian fiction superhero thriller Mindfire comes this love song from the main character Leia Hamilton to her guy, Josh Manning. It shares the tale of how they met and their relationship grew into a deeply committed one. This one has a Jazzy feel to it. Lyrics by me, music and voices by Suno A.I.
