Here's a 1997 live performance of Drop Dead Gorgeous by Republica. I've always enjoyed seeing and hearing lead singer Saffron (Samantha Marie Sprackling) performing during that period. Very nice!

Drop Dead Gorgeous

I'm just an amateur wannabe songwriter and was pretty blown away with how quickly I can experiment from an original draft, lyrics and melody to layering, trying different genres.  It's insane to think how much time and it'd cost to have the Goo Goo Dolls try to cover your song then say meh,  let's tray Gomez -- let me guide you through the movements... Nah, let's go big band hey Louis Armstrong and ensemble, I wanna try something different.
I'm just looking to get my AI "drafts" up to pitch quality but I just don't know what to do next, I am not pro musician by any means.  Incidentally, you ended your comment with "I'm just going to keep going" -- Funny this is  the first song I tried with Google Flow Music I wanted as a pitch "Keep Pushing On" https://www.flowmusic.app/song/f5efcba4-ac4d-489c-9081-2cdf715f842f

Getting your song and arranging, etc then making variations to explore based on an original recorded song and lyrics is a LOT of time so I tried Google Flow Music.

My goal was to get a recording to a point as a "pitch" to some bands.  Okay I have that.

So now what do I do?  I don't have the time to re-work in Cubase, etc,  that's not what I'm good at!
I don't mind splitting it or w/e, just entertaining my rare cases of dreams of grandeur. 

Are there places one can easy share a link like a stream of song "pitches"?  I have a day job and after listening to my song you'll likely encourage me to keep at that but worth a shot right?!!

I'm remembering the sophisticated, charming, and beautiful Shirley Jones who starred as Shirley Partridge in The Partridge Family from 1970—1974. Wonderful!

With the recent passing of Bonnie Tyler, I'm remembering her song Holding Out for a Hero from 1984, which was featured in the film Footloose (1984).

Holding Out for a Hero

The Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet is one of my favorite episodes of the series. The iconic episode stars William Shatner and Christine White aboard a flight that goes horribly wrong. I rate it 10 out of 10 stars. Despite the dated 1963 effects, including the gremlin in an unmistakably 1960s shaggy-fur monster suit, the episode is still an outstanding winner. That archaic 1960s fake-monster look actually adds to the nostalgic appeal of the episode.

10⭐ Among the best episodes ever. A masterpiece! 🌌🎥

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet — video clip

I'm still working on new original songs and playing with the new video technologies that are out now and emerging. I'm also finding lots of new indy pop-rock music to enjoy, too, which I will share soon.

The very talented and charming Beatrice Florea recorded this cover version of a power ballad that became a hit in the mid 1980s. Cool voice and style!

Hola tout le monde - hope you're dong well - I've not been very active recently (though changes are afoot!).

Given the recent news (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crel4rj801do) I thought I'd reshare Pompeyjazz's and my 2018 song about Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in England in 1955. It seems we have progressed a little.

Ruth's Blues

V1
The coolest chick for the 8 foot drop
Never asked for a reprieve
The pain, the men, and the rejection
Made Ruth sure it's time to leave

V2
Another playboy took Ruth's bed
But she took punches in return
He'd never let her in his world
So bullets seemed his just dessert

CH
Is it right, that we take eyes for eyes?
Is it right, for Ruth to pay the highest price?
Who was saved? Revenge disguised as justice
Who was saved, when Ruth embraced the gallows' kiss?

V3
A crowded courtroom sealed Ruth's fate
For a crime she never denied
So obvious what Ruth intended
The judge and jury's hands were tied

V4
Few have lived where life consists
Of bruises and your womb's a toy
Would anyone still be interested
If Ruth was murdered by the boy?
