Liner Notes

#skirmish. I wrote the lyrics, and ran out of time to do my own demo, but Suno #AI came to the rescue. Mostly....until you run against the 4:00 time limit. Happy instruments to a very dark song. #political #singersongwriter #protest

Lyrics

MEAN SPIRIT (c) 2025 raspberryAI

VERSE 1:
There are plenty of spirits I know them all well
Some live in Heaven but most prefer hell
You’re susceptible to every spell
Of a mean spirit

VERSE 2:
I’ll float an idea that sounds ok
But if you dig just a little more than halfway
You’ll realize my actions could lead you astray
With help from your id and your ego

PRECHORUS:
Bless the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
None of them are mean enough for me
Retribution is everyone’s ultimate goal
On that we can all agree

CHORUS:
Pronounce bigly then walk it back
Imply the opposition is way off track
Some are nice people that’s a fact
And they’ll never learn they were hijacked
By a mean spirit looking out for number one

VERSE 3:
Listen to me and do my bidding
If you catch me in a lie I was just kidding
Do not try to escape for the odds are forbidding
When set by a mean spirit

VERSE 4:
Do you risk your career Or just take a knee
This was all explained In the prophecy
That superior beings can only be found
By a mean spirit

PRECHORUS:
Bless the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
Light a candle in the church of ugly
Deep down, retribution is the ultimate rush
On that we can all agree
CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 5:
Place your bets Go all-in
On the fading rewards Of original sin
Drown your sorrows in bourbon or gin
My favorite mean spirits

BRIDGE:
There’s a solution but I’ll never reveal
That it’s racism, sexism, that seals the deal
Hijack your brain for how you will feel
When meanness lights up your cortex

VERSE 6:
There are plenty of spirits I know them all well
Some live in Heaven but most prefer hell
You’re susceptible to every spell
Of a mean spirit

Verses 1 and 6 are my favourites here. The whole song is well-written, with lots of interesting imagery. It's got great bones. Hopefully you can find time to record at some point. 😀

This is really good. Really love the first two verses, and the line in the pre-chorus of "Retribution is everyone’s ultimate goal"

Nice job! Meanness can definitely "light up your cortex" and energize the fearful or those who feel slighted. This is my first encounter with Suno #AI, and at the risk of sounding mean spirited, they're a hohrrible person and a low IQ individual whose likely invading our country, but darnit, they sing a pretty song!

Omg this is gorgeous. The guitar work is splendid, your vocal and harmonies are amazing, the arrangement tempered and yet epic, and seriously I'm running out of superlatives here. It's magnificent. One of, if not my favourite track of FAWM 2025. I'm almost in tears. Wonderful, every last bit of it. And I haven't even touched on the lyrics... ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Classic country elements with bolder words than you'll usually hear these days. It's refreshing.

Great song about someone we see far too much. I like the chorus and the bigly reference. Nice one!
