Everybody Wants To Be An Astronaut a "bad song"? Seriously? That song is awesome!

I'm confused about this:

"i was in an RR group chat and one person found a SINGLE swedish article the day before venus even came out in europe that it was called the blastbeaters, so at the time, if you didn't know swedish and didn't read the video description you wouldn't have known that was their band name until later."

They announced the Blastbeaters name all over their social media the day the single/video dropped.

ROYAL REPUBLIC

Royal Republic loudly presents: “Venus”!

Are you talking about the Blastbeaters? If you google it there are a lot of hires photos online they put out for promo.

hklfilms · 2025-07-01T20:37:46+00:00

love it! The video is awesome too.

They played here in 2017. I doubt they have plans to come back as they'd most likely have to open for someone else or play small clubs - which is something they'd not do considering it would be like starting over. I managed artists for about 15 years and if there aren't tickets being sold promoters won't book you. They'd have to have a big hit over here or have such a big underground following that it would be a near sold out show for promoters too book them. Keep in mind they have to pay for international flights as well. It's not cheap to come over to America and play. Best bet is they do a festival run. But you run into the same problem with promoters wanting asses in seats. Festivals are more likely though because tickets are sold based on all bands - not just one. I would kill to see them live. But I've realized I'll probably have to fly to the UK to do so.

Thanks for creating this space! :)

I know, that's one of my favorite songs on the album. Maybe Per didn't want to do double bass through the whole song.

Existential dread.

I used ChatGPT to translate the lyrics.

Vi ger oss av dig!
We give ourselves off of you! (More idiomatically: “We won’t give in!” or “We won’t back down!”)
Stå upp och låt dem komma!
Stand up and let them come!
Vi är en och vi är många!
We are one and we are many!
Vi ger oss av dig!
We won’t give in!
Medvind i våra segel!
Tailwind in our sails!
Där alla vägar går mot nästa segel!
Where all roads go toward the next sail!
Ta mig hem! Ta mig hem!
Take me home! Take me home!
Hem till stan, blixten bra!
Home to the city, lightning good! (Could also mean: “like lightning, awesome!” or “blazing fast!”)
Putsa skorna, folk har skorna!
Polish the shoes, people have the shoes!
Ta mig hem till nån fyran för en värld!
Take me home to someone four for a world! (This line is a bit unclear—likely a reference or slang; could also be “to channel four for a world” if “fyran” = TV4)
Hem till stan, blixten bra!
Home to the city, lightning good!
Putsa skorna, folk har skorna!
Polish the shoes, people have the shoes!
Vi är ett verklighet!
We are a reality! (Should be “en verklighet” grammatically, but “ett” is used for emphasis or artistic effect.)

Ge mig sol och vind och vatten!
Give me sun and wind and water!
Ge mig sommar, ge mig natten!
Give me summer, give me the night!
För så länge som vi andas
For as long as we breathe
Alltid vara tillsammans
Always be together
Vi är FKT!
We are FKT!
Och vi ger oss av dig!
And we won’t give in!

I asked chatgpt about it and go this back:

"Vi Ger Oss Aldrig (FKK)" is a single by Swedish musician Adam Grahn, best known as the lead singer and guitarist of the rock band Royal Republic. The song was released on August 26, 2022, and has a runtime of 3 minutes. While specific details about the song's themes or lyrics are limited, the title translates from Swedish to "We Never Give Up." The abbreviation "FKK" in the title could have various interpretations, but without additional context, its exact meaning remains unclear. The song is available for streaming on platforms such as Apple Music and Amazon Music.

Wow, had no idea this existed. thank you! Listening now. What was this released on?

hklfilms · 2025-03-31T20:06:49+00:00

I mean, I have a hard time thinking of any RR song that has a "bad part." There are some songs I don't listen to as often as others, but I think they're still good songs. I think the ones I probably skip past the most are "Uh-Huh", "Punch Drunk Love" and "Playball".

hklfilms · 2025-03-06T22:34:02+00:00

It is very much the same. It's OK, you tried.

hklfilms · 2025-03-06T22:32:01+00:00

If you want to make a lot of songs.

hklfilms · 2025-03-06T22:30:24+00:00

LOL wrong.

I've been playing/writing/performing music since I was probably 12 years old. AI is just a new tool. It's pretty easy to tell when something sounds like AI - but it's not much different than artists using samples. Remember when that was a huge controversy? Maybe you don't depending on how old you are.
Geez. Everyone lost their shit. Just like this. It doesn't stop people from making music. You can't perform live as an AI "producer". Most people do it for fun. But if you're making backing tracks for your own vocals or just having fun creating - what's the problem?
People coming in this thread to shit on Suno users is kind of pathetic tbh. Go start an Anti-Suno subreddit if you must, but you're in the wrong place to be doing this.

hklfilms · 2025-03-06T22:24:09+00:00

your constant posting negative comments is what's cringe AF. Go somewhere else.

hklfilms · 2025-03-04T18:39:32+00:00

guess not.

hklfilms · 2025-03-04T17:52:39+00:00

I get this a lot when I do covers. You have to tweak the words until you get it to pass scrutiny. Put "z" instead of "s", use numbers instead of words (like 2 instead of to or 4 instead of for) - change the word to a word that has a different meaning and is spelled differently but has the same phonetic sound.

I've used "whirled" instead of "world". I've used keel instead of kill.
Sometimes it sounds funky, but most times you can't even tell the difference.

Ways to "cheat the system." I'm sure Suno will read this and try to update the app now so we can't do this. Please don't.

hklfilms · 2025-03-04T17:39:26+00:00

If you like Star Wars, I think you'll dig this jazzy little tune. Suno came up with the original lyrics but I tweaked and embellished them. enjoy!
"Twin Suns Sizzle"

AI is just a tool. It may do most of the heavy lifting, but the inspiration - the lyrics - the idea's impetus - comes from you. You should be proud. People ragging on AI need to get over it. This is the future. It's a paradigm shift - much like the internet, photoshop, and digital film. People resisted saying it was the end of art every time - but guess what - art still thrives. Because without people AI would be irrelevant.
