In this second song. I gave it some ideas about some of my original named beans and I thought it turned very nice. Below are the words and after that the link to the song.


Field Of Beans


[Verse]

Fifty years under the sun
Growing beans one by one
Sending seeds to lands unknown
In the soil they have grown


[Verse 2]

Blue Jay sprouts with wings of green
Candy sweet like dreams unseen
Pawnee finds its roots in earth
Seeds I've nurtured since their birth

[Chorus]
From my hand to distant fields
Life of labor slowly yields
Every bean a story told
In the earth our hearts unfold


[Bridge]
Brown Eye Goose in morning light
Illinois Wild Goose takes flight
Kishwaukee spreads so wide
Every harvest speaks with pride



[Verse 3]

Seasons change yet beans remain
Patience learned with sun and rain
Years have passed yet still
I send Seeds to earth my timeless friends
[Chorus]


From my hand to distant fields
Life of labor slowly yields
Every bean a story told

In the earth our hearts unfold

Pretty awesome songs @Blue-Jay! Wow, you really figured out how that program works. I realized after I tinkered with Suno that there is an option for AI to generate lyrics instead of manually creating them, which is what I had done. Did you input all those lyrics?

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas feasts! I've always wrestled a bit with Christmas Eve dinner because of all the baking and prep for Christmas day. The joke around the house here is everyone starves the day before any holiday meal, lol. Especially since I don't freeze or prepare anything far in advance, I do it all fresh so I'm working on it up until the last minute. But! Beans & cornmeal staved off hunger this Christmas Eve, DD had the fabulous and practical idea of polenta with tex mex style spiced red kidney beans. Took only 15 minutes to make the polenta, then we sauteed the little polenta slabs in olive oil for a crispy outside. Took 15 minutes to sautee some leeks, celery and peppers, fresh cumin, garlic and paprika - and then add the kidneys and mash it a little. Sprinkled with feta, and served them together side by side with raw veggies and homemade dip. Was sooo good! I loooove beans! 🫘

sounds very delicious to me. :) i like dark red kidney beans, they have a peppery sort of flavor to them that not many other beans have. i'm not sure what the chemical compound might be but it is distinctive enough that i do notice it when shelling beans out that are not fully dried down yet. anyways, i really like that whatever it is. :)

No I did not input those lyrics. AI did all the words. I just wrote a short sentence or two what the song was to be about.

Pink Standard - Pole Lima. The bean originates in Peru. It is not daylength sensitive. About as productive as most limas I have grown. I acquired this bean from a fellow in Iowa who had a lima collection. I believe he acquired the bean from the USDA seed bank in Pullman, Washington. This year the beans were sent out to a grower in Jonesborough, Tennessee.

Lengua de Lobo - Pole Dry. Also known as Wolfs Tongue. Blossom white, 8 inch (20.5 cm) long green pods. Large seed. The bean originates in Chile. This bean is one of the 30 pound (30.6 kg) bag of beans that Joseph Simcox had collected and brought into this counry. When I received the seed there may have been about 23 beans that were very dark chocolate brown from age. I did a germination test on about 5 them and got 66%. I had 18 seeds to put into the freezer. 9 of the seeds were sent out to a grower this year and I was surprised at how light this bean are when it's new. The grower of this bean states that the bean is daylength sensitive. Beans were planted in Early May and did not bloom until September. Dry seeds were harvested in October all the way into mid November. The grower was just lucky this year to have had an extended warm autumn for this bean to mature and dry seed.
