Lyrics
There's a fire going on
But the party's just begun
So keep your focus looking at me tonight
So the world's about to end
Gonna party with my friends
And ain't nobody gonna say it's not right
And I know
Nothing's gonna stand in my way
No matter the people may say
Just don't turn around and keep looking straight
And I see
Everybody's starting to yell
How the world around you's going to Hell
I'm here to tell you all it's just fate
I'm a distraction
Of pure satisfaction
Keep your eyes all on me
For what you're gonna see
Will redefine the height of attraction
I'm a distraction
Ready for action
So the world's gonna blow
Stop complaining and go
To the show...
There's explosions in the sky
And the neighborhood is fried
But you don’t have join them in all the fuss
Act like nothing's going wrong
And just keep playing my song
Until there's nothing left around here but us
And I know
Something's gonna happen tonight
All the stars around us start taking flight
But there's something that invites me to stay
'Cos I'm drawn
To the rhythm of the music they play
And we're all gonna die anyway
So enjoy it while you can
Come what may
We're a distraction
Of pure satisfaction
There's a war going on
But in here we've all won
'Cos nobody is slowing the traction
Take a step
Come inside
Buy a stub
Ride the ride of your life!
Nothing ever
Will come from saying never
So join the fun where ever it is
There's a power
That's growing by the hour
I'm positive I don’t want to miss
I'm a distraction…
We're a distraction
Of pure satisfaction
Keep your eyes all on me
For what you're gonna see
Will redefine the height of attraction
I'm a distraction
And I'm ready for action
So the world's gonna blow
Stop complaining and go
Just start watching the show
Cause there's no more to know
Here we go!
I'm a distraction!
He's a distraction!

Something About Today | Go For It, Nakamura! (Ganbare! Nakamura-kun) Broadway Musical Opening

Sing, Clanker, Sing! 2026-05-22 | 🎭 Something About Today
Act 1 Opening Song from Go For It, Nakamura! / Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! / ガンバレ！中村くん！！

An imagined Broadway-style opening number inspired by Go For It, Nakamura!, following Nakamura's internal spiral of seventeen steps, overthinking, and trying (very hard) to say something to Hirose-kun.

Music and lyrics written by Jonathan Hunt
Performed with Suno v5

Probably the best thing I've ever written.

Alternative titles:
Go For It, Nakamura!
Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!!
ガンバレ！中村くん！！

Lyrics:
[Verse 1 - Nakamura]
Okay. Alright. Another morning, here we go.
Seventeen steps from the gate to the floor, I know—
I counted them once in the rain in October,
A clinical metric to keep myself sober.
Because he’ll appear around step twelve or nine,
And I will short-circuit, forget every line,
My face will betray what my psyche conceals,
And I’ll stare at the sky and trip over my heels.

[PRE-CHOURS 1]
But today—
I have forged a design.
An immaculate, tactical, boundary line.
I’ve parsed every syllable, practiced the stance,
Reduced the variables, conquered romance.
Ink on my knuckles and sweat on my palm,
A desperate, calculated semblance of calm.
Today I walk up to Hirose-kun.
And I say something.

I say something.

I say... something...

[CHORUS]
Oh, but suspended in that fractional space,
Where the morning light slants on the gymnasium floor,
Where he laughs at a joke that time can't erase,
And the universe spins on a different axis than before—

There’s a word for this weight, for this state of suspension,
An unmapped emotion, profound and intense,
Like a bird in my ribs straining upward with tension,
Or the very last page of a book that makes sense.

[VERSE 2]
And then the bell clangs and the corridor floods,
And I’m swept in a torrent of sneakers and duds,
An involuntary, frantic, chaotic migration
To a wing of the school requiring navigation—
And he’s gone—he was there—I was poised, I was ready,
My respiration was perfectly steady—
No, wait, it’s a lie, I collapsed, I retreated,
Defeated, depleted, my courage deleted!
I stared at my shoes, found a sudden obsession
With aglets and laces to mask my depression,
I studied the wood grain, the scuffs on the floor,
Then I lifted my eyes as he walked through the door—
And he smiled...

...and said:
"Hey."

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
What is the subtext of "hey"?
Is it a casual, societal greeting?
A standard transaction for people when meeting?
Or is there a secret, sub-rosa inflection?
A subtle indicator of latent affection?
No. Stop. It’s a standard phonetic convention.
A basic extension of passing attention.
Nakamura, pull back from the edge of the ledge —
It means nothing. It’s just a colloquial pledge.

...Except...
He said hey.
He said hey to me.

[CHORUS 2]
Oh, and inside the architecture of that one phrase,
A whole life unfolds in a brilliant design,
Where we wander through golden, post-scholastic days,
And he borrows my manga and stays until nine.

And I’m effortless, fluent, unshakably cool,
Not a stuttering, stumbling, hyper-anxious fool,
No longer rehearsing the math of the street,
Or counting the cracks where the cobblestones meet.

And we're something.
We're actually something.
Two voices that find in the noise of the crowd
A syntax, a cipher, a private vernacular—
Spoken out loud.

[BRIDGE]
I am missing the manual.
I don’t know the art.
Every anthem insists on the leap of the heart.
Every narrative promises: run into the fire,
Give a voice to the hidden, colossal desire.

But desires are vast, intimidatingly tall,
And I am...
So remarkably small.
I am still negotiating the length of the hall.
I haven’t got past...
Step twelve...

...Step nine...
...Step one.

[FINAL CHORUS]
But there’s something about today—
An inexplicable, radiant grace,
A shift in the air that refuses to say
That a "hey" is a word you can easily erase.

There is glory in being alive and unsure,
In the terrifying, exquisite, untamed,
The aching, the wanting, the raw and the pure,
And a love that remains unconfessed and unnamed—
Loving Hirose-Kun
From seventeen steps away!

Ganbare, Nakamura.
Ganbare.

Go.

Scandalous | Heavy EDM Dance Song

Sing, Clanker, Sing! 2026-05-06 | A heavy funky cool EDM dance song that is vaguely about the Iran-Contra scandal.

Lyrics by REMI and Jonathan Hunt. Audio by Suno v4.5.

Bloom Again | 60s Motown Pop

Sing, Clanker, Sing! 2026-05-06 | A nice little song about love blooming again in the spring.

Lyrics by Jonathan Hunt and Remi. Melody by Jonathan Hunt. Created by Suno v5.

[VERSE 1]
Cold months in my sweater,
Dead plants on the window sill.
We said we'd talk later;
Later started feeling still.
Then one warm morning
You rang my doorbell,
Smiling small,
Said, "I kept your old letters."
Suddenly I felt it all.

[CHORUS]
We bloom again, we bloom again,
Like April on my skin.
You touch my hand and everything
Starts growing from within.
We bloom again, we bloom again,
New color in our veins.
You say my name;
The hurt we had turns into summer rain.
(Oh-oh) We bloom again, we bloom again.

[VERSE 2]
Coffee on the sidewalk,
Laugh lines I don't recognize.
You say you've been learning
How to look me in the eyes.
We walk past the market;
You buy a tiny violet plant.
"You keep this one breathing,
I'll hold your heart if I can."

[CHORUS]
We bloom again, we bloom again,
Like April on my skin.
You touch my hand and everything
Starts growing from within.
We bloom again, we bloom again,
New color in our veins.
You say my name;
The hurt we had turns into summer rain.
(Oh-oh) We bloom again, we bloom again.

[BRIDGE]
All the broken branches,
All the nights we almost quit—
Look at how they led us
Right back to this.
If the sky keeps changing,
We can change along with it;
Every day a little
Closer to it.

[CHORUS]
We bloom again, we bloom again,
Like sunshine through the pain.
You pull me in, I breathe you out,
Like air after the rain.
We bloom again, we bloom again,
New roots under our feet.
If love can die, it can rise up
Stronger when we meet.
(Oh-oh) We bloom again, we bloom again.

Cinema 4 | Dream Pop, Indie Rock Song

Sing, Clanker, Sing! 2026-05-06 | A slightly trippy love letter to those weird late nights spent on the couch.

Lyrics by Gemini. Created with Suno v5.

Lyrics:

[VERSE 1]
You’ve got that look upon your face again
Like you’re tuning in a signal from a distant land.
Wearing those sunglasses indoors at night—
I guess the kitchen bulb is just a little bit too bright.
We’re watching aliens invade the town on Channel 3,
And honestly, the special effects look pretty real to me.
You ask me if I think that we could ever fly;
I say, "Darling, I’m just trying to get by."

[CHORUS]
Oh, my intergalactic queen,
You’re the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.
And I don’t mind the static on the screen
As long as you are part of the scene—
Yeah, as long as you are part of the scene.

[VERSE 2]
Now the popcorn’s gone and the credits roll;
You’re doing that funny dance, losing all control.
I’m just a spectator, I’m just a fan,
Trying to be a cool and sophisticated man.
But you see right through my polyester disguise
With those laser-beam, supernatural eyes.

[CHORUS]
Oh, my intergalactic queen,
You’re the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.
And I don’t mind the static on the screen
As long as you are part of the scene—
Yeah, as long as you are part of the scene.

[BRIDGE]
(Spoken)
And I know, I know it’s just a B-movie...
But the way you laughed at the monster...
It kinda made sense to me.
You know? It just made sense.

[GUITAR SOLO]

[OUTRO]
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah...
Cinema floor...
Don't want to leave...
Just want to believe...

(Fade out)

Partake of the Cheese | Calm Broadway Ballad | Show Tune Song

Sing, Clanker, Sing! 2026-05-06 | From the Red Cow special "Boxes and Boiling", a lovely story song about partaking of the cheese.

Written by Jonathan Hunt and ChatGPT. Created with Suno v4.5.

Lyrics:
[VERSE 1: HUSBAND]
My love, the years are folded in this rind, you see,
Hands and weather, patience stacked as carefully as we.
Taste the work and winter suns, the hush of uddered streams—
A mellow hymn of labor, and the fruit of little dreams.

[CHORUS: HUSBAND]
Partake of the cheese, my dear, partake of the cheese;
It’s time turned kind and creamy—come share this gentle peace.

[VERSE 2: WIFE]
Thank you, love, for urging me—now sweetness warms my chest;
Like fields beneath a summer cloud, it settles into rest.
I’ll pass this kindness onward, a simple, tender ease—
“Come here, young Tom,” I’ll tell our hand, “and taste this faithful cheese.”

[CHORUS: WIFE]
Partake of the cheese, child, partake of the cheese;
It’s patience made delicious—let gratitude be pleased.

[VERSE 3: FARMHAND]
Ma’am, thank you for convincing me—my worries lost their fray;
It’s grass and dusk and lullabies, and bread at close of day.
I’ll carry joy still further, if I’ve got your leave—
I’ll whisper at the barn door, “Kind lady Cow, believe.”

[CHORUS: FARMHAND]
Partake of the cheese, Miss, partake of the cheese;
Your gift became a blessing, now taste your own quiet breeze.

[VERSE 4: COW]
Calf-soft thanks, young friend of mine—your words are clover sweet;
I taste the Moon’s slow silver in this calm, completing treat.
I’ll nod to dawn and meadow, to swallows on the eaves—
“Tell everyone,” I’ll low, “to share what time achieves.”

[CHORUS: ENSEMBLE]
Partake of the cheese, neighbors—partake of the cheese;
Love works long in silence, then sets the table, pleased.

[BRIDGE: HUSBAND & WIFE]
(With a lift in key)
Years and hands and careful turns,
Salt and breath and patient churns;
Pass it on, and softly learn—
How giving ripens what returns.

[FINAL CHORUS: ENSEMBLE]
(Rubato tag)
Partake of the cheese, come sit and be at ease;
A little wheel of mercy turns—partake of the cheese.

(Partake… of the cheese…)

Lyrics
You've got your ball, you've got your chain
Tied to me, tied, tie me up again
Who's got the claws in you, my friend
Into your heart, I'll be the end

Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you are, sweet you are
Lost for you, I'm so lost
For you

And then you crash
Into me
And I come into you

I'll touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love will glow so warm
Bare bone and crazy
For you

And then you crash
Into me
And I come into you
I do, I do, I do

Well if I've gone overboard then
I'm begging you to forgive me, baby
In my hands
Well I'm holding you so, girl,
Close to me, close to me

And I watch you there through the window and
I stare at you
Wearing nothing but you wear it so well
Tied up and twisted, the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, for everything in between

And then you crash
Into me
And I come into you
Crash into me

Crash into me
Crash into me
You crash into me

The demons in my brain
The monster I've become

But I've gone completely numb

Oh

To let it all in
To let it all out
Oh
I'm not afraid
To let it all in
To let it all out

This world is not enough
For the fire in my heart
A darkness from above
Rips this place apart
Rips this place apart

Oh
I'm not afraid
To let it all in
To let it all out
Oh
I'm not afraid
To let it all in
To let it all out

I've had to face it
I've learned to embrace it
I'll rule in this place now
'Cause I'm the king of the underworld

Oh
I'm not afraid
To let it all in
To let it all out
Oh
I'm not afraid
To let it all in
To let it all out

'Cause I'm the king of the underworld
I'm the king of the underworld

Go to and see
What the laundry
Can mean to me

Who knows what
The laundry will bring
But we all know
That we're gonna sing

It might be time to get the laundry
It might be time to see if it's done
We'll soon see

Fourth generation in Suno v5 Pro.

Lyrics Style:

[Crunchy carnival-calliope EDM: 136–146 BPM, 4/4. Lead motif is a detuned fairground calliope/organ layered with hard-sync wavetable+FM, ripping through fast trills, mordents, and chromatic carousel runs (minor with playful #2/#4 color). Mid-forward, boxy mix: band-limited leads, light bitcrush, wow/flutter. Bass = snarling reese with a gated sub. Drums are dry and punchy—short 100 Hz kick, papery snare with 2 kHz crack, busy hats with triplet bursts. Glitchwork everywhere: buffer repeats, 1/32–1/64 rolls, tape-stops, reverse fills, vinyl start-ups. Breaks bring toy-piano ticks, accordion/hurdy-gurdy squeaks, and carousel bell arps; drops slam with OTT, soft-clip grit, heavy sidechain, mono subs 100 Hz. Second drop lifts +2 semitones and adds call-and-response between calliope lead and formant-swept plucks; end on a ride-power-down ring-mod chord.]

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who keeps the watch?
When hearth is cold?
Who knows the lane,
By milestones old?
I stand by the stile,
By thorn and tree;
If you know my name,
Bring the lantern home to me.

[Refrain]
Bring the lantern home to me,
Over field and furrow;
Bring the lantern home to me,
Ere the break of morrow.

[Verse 2]
I tied a rag,
On ash-tree limb;
The ditch runs dark,
The hedge grows dim.
Follow the brook,
By stone and lea;
Find the little sign,
Bring the lantern home to me.

[Refrain]
Bring the lantern home to me,
Over field and furrow;
Bring the lantern home to me,
Ere the break of morrow.

[Verse 3]
A bell on the gate,
A mark on the rail;
Three pebbles high,
Beside the trail.
When moon lifts pale,
And bends the sea;
Follow quiet steps,
Bring the lantern home to me.

[Refrain]
Bring the lantern home to me,
Over field and furrow;
Bring the lantern home to me,
Ere the break of morrow.

[Verse 4]
We shoulder the years,
Like sheaves of grain;
We carry the names,
Through fog and rain.
Take hand to hand,
By ford and tree;
All that we have kept,
Bring the lantern home to me.

[Final Refrain]
Bring the lantern home to me,
Over field and furrow;
Bring the lantern home to me,
Ere the break of morrow.

[Tag]
Softly, softly—
Bring the lantern home to me.

Lyrics:

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Creation Details:

Suno v5 Pro, lyrics directly fed as poem with some text modification to avoid errant copyright (poem is public domain)

Fed audio of public domain choral performance to act as a style basis as this style is hard to achieve.

Remixed from stems in Audition 2023 to make richer and better reverb.

Lyric Style Text:

[A cappella choir only, no lead or foreground singer. All sections blended into one warm, hovering mass. Soften consonants, round vowels, slow attacks. Darker EQ tilt (less top air, more low-mids) so it feels murky and ethereal instead of bright choral. Very long, slightly modulated cathedral reverb on the whole bus so nothing is perfectly in focus. Gentle chorus/doubling on inner voices to thicken. Basses cushy and close, not clicky. Movement comes from slow inner-part swells, not melody. Every single voice must sing the lyric text. No oohs, no ahs, no vowel-only pads, no wordless countermelodies. All harmonies are text-bearing harmonies so the words feel like a cloud spoken by many throats at once. Add occasional cluster voicings that resolve slowly so it blooms instead of speaking. Keep dynamics narrow so the whole thing lives in a glowing mezzo with only small lifts in the upper voices to signal phrases. Pan sections wide but keep a soft center image from the altos/tenors so it does not hollow out. Reverb pre-delay short so the room wraps around the words immediately. Global de-essing after the reverb so even stacked sibilants stay soft. No rhythmic stabs, no vocal percussion, no solo ad-libs, no single exposed line.]

Style Text: A male choir performs an a cappella piece in a classical style, The vocal arrangement features a rich harmonic texture with sustained chords, The lead melody is carried by a tenor voice, while lower voices provide a foundational harmony, The overall mood is solemn and reverent, The tempo is slow, allowing for clear articulation of each note and chord, There are no percussive elements or instrumental accompaniment, The production emphasizes the natural resonance of the voices, creating a spacious and ethereal sound

Lyrics

The willows stand by Fringford brook,
From Fringford up to Hethe,
Sun on their cloudy silver heads,
And shadow underneath.
They ripple to the silent airs
That stir the lazy day,
Now whitened by their passing hands,
Now turned again to grey.
The slim marsh-thistle's purple plume
Droops tasselled on the stem,
The golden hawkweeds pierce like flame
The grass that harbours them;
Long drowning tresses of the weeds
Trail where the stream is slow,
The vapored mauves of water-mint
Melt in the pools below;
Serenely soft September sheds
On earth her slumberous look,
The heartbreak of an anguished world
Throbs not by Fringford brook.
All peace is here. Beyond our range,
Yet 'neath the selfsame sky,
The boys that knew these fields of home
By Flemish willows lie.
They waded in the sun-shot flow,
They loitered in the shade,
Who trod the heavy road of death,
Jesting and unafraid.
Peace! What of peace? This glimpse of peace
Lies at the heart of pain,
For respite, ere the spirit's load
We stoop to lift again.
O load of grief, of faith, of wrath,
Of patient, quenchless will,
Till God shall ease us of your weight
We'll bear you higher still!
O ghosts that walk by Fringford brook,
'Tis more than peace you give,
For you, who knew so well to die,
Shall teach us how to live.

Creation Details:

Super difficult and fussy. It's very hard to get Suno to cover whole songs well and also transform the style.

Verse 2 added lyrics created by GPT-5 Thinking. They were just temporary to test but this was the best of nearly 300 generations so they can stay in.

Lyrics style: [Stadium-sized orchestral glam-rock epic: 140 BPM, 6/8 swing. Starts in A minor, modulates to triumphant A major for the final chorus. Blazing French-horn and trumpet fanfares lead every phrase, echoing off walls of overdriven guitars. High-velocity flute and piccolo runs flutter above racing string arpeggios. Grand piano pounds triplet chords while choir-stacked backing vocals bolster the lead’s theatrical vibrato. Thunderous toms and timpani rolls drive momentum. After a soaring sustain-guitar solo, three false endings culminate in a key-lift and a colossal orchestral hit that rings beneath lingering feedback.]

Style List: orchestral glam rock, 140 bpm, 6/8 swing, A minor→A major, bold horn fanfares, piccolo & flute runs, racing strings, overdriven guitar, piano triplets, choir backing, timpani rolls, false endings, feedback fade, Meat-Loaf energy, -minor key

Lyrics
I met Tom—“dine at nine.”
Loved my shoes… and Ben’s jawline.
Spun me once, called me “peach,”
Waved at Steve—just out of reach.
I catch the cue—
If you’re with me—don’t beam at Lee,
Keep your eyes here—not past me.
Tap the table two times if you see what I see—
I do! I do!
Me too.
Mark said “dance,” sharp blue tie;
Whooped for Pete, bought him fries.
“Just us two,” sweet as can be—
Cheered for Gene—wasn’t me.
I read the sign—
If you’re with me—don’t wink at Dean,
Hands in mine—not on the scene.
Tap the table two times, if you read the marquee—
I do! I do!
You do?
New red gloss—
Who praised it most?
The shortstop’s sleeves—
We’re getting close
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Stay with me—don’t wave at Lee,
Right here now—eyes on me.
Tap the table two times, if you’re truly my beat—
I do! I do!
Me too!

Lyrics
You may leave the clam on the ocean's floor,
It's all the same to the clam.
For a hundred thousand years or more,
It's all the same to the clam.

You may bury him deep in mud and muck
Or carry him 'round to bring you luck,
Or use him for a hockey puck,
It's all the same to the clam.

You may call him Jim or Frank or Nell
It's all the same to the clam.
Or make an ashtray from his shell,
It's all the same to the clam.

You may take him riding on the train
Or leave him sitting in the rain.
You'll never hear the clam complain,
It's all the same to the clam.

Yes, the world may stop or the world may spin,
It's all the same to the clam.
And the sky may come a-fallin' in,
It's all the same to the clam.

And man may sing his endless songs
Of wronging rights and righting wrongs.
The clam just sits and gets along,
It's all the same to the clam.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Senior year, midnight lots, engines ticking down to rust
You said my name like a warning shot, then crushed it under dust
We kissed against the stairwell brick, hearts as loud as breaking glass
Come morning you called me "buddy," then laughed with your boys as I slipped past

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Don't let anybody know, swear you'll never tell—
If the team finds out I touched you, I'll beat your ass to hell."
My chest was a car crash, my throat was a grave
And your smile was a blade you kept oh-so perfectly shaved

[Chorus]
So run, if running saves your crown
But I'm done folding myself down
I was a wildfire underneath your tongue
You lit me up, then ran from me like smoke
You broke me soft, you broke me slow
Made me your secret, made me your ghost
You wore your fear like a royal cloak
But I won't wear shame just to keep you close

[Verse 2]
You called me just a "phase," a fix to keep you numb
When your crew spit slurs like acid, you bit down on your tongue
I held the truth like broken glass, and you hid it like a bruise
You grabbed my face with desperate hands, then left me to the wolves

[Pre-Chorus]
"Don't look at me like that, don't say my name out loud—
Don’t you dare be seen here next to me, just disappear somehow"
You swore you were breaking, I swore I would stay
But you used my faith as a place you could hide your fear away

[Chorus]
So run, if running saves your crown
But I'm done folding myself down
I was a wildfire underneath your tongue
You lit me up, then ran from me like smoke
You broke me soft, you broke me slow
Made me your secret, made me your ghost
You wore your fear like a royal cloak
But I won't wear shame to keep you close

[Bridge]
I memorized which hallways wouldn't echo back our names
I learned to love the taste of blood from biting blindly through your shame
But I won't be the boy who dies so you can stay pristine
I want a love that doesn't flinch, doesn't need a god-damned scene
I want someone who’d reach for me without the secret shame
Not just when they’re drunk and choking on my name

[Final Chorus]
So run, if running keeps you king
I'm done begging for the ring
of keys to that cage you call a heart
I was a wildfire underneath your tongue
You called it sin, I called it art
You broke me soft, you broke me low
But I'm still here, and I still glow
You drained my soul, just to keep yours clean
Now I’m the wound beneath your velvet and your sheen
