Behind the Song: Gone Like Sasquatch | Reggae with Suno

The Ticket Stub That Inspired My Sasquatch Suno Song for Introverts

Chillin’ with my reggae-inspired tune for introverts. This song is relaxed, funny, and embraces that good ol’ solitude. Disappearing into the woods, kicking off our flip-flops, and finding peace away from all the noise.

Gone Like Sasquatch can be found on my Suno Page, YouTube Channel, or listen here:

The Ticket Stub That Sparked It All

Music has a way of pulling us back to specific moments, feelings, or memories. With tools like Suno, turning those memories into music has never been easier. This one started with a ticket stub from a Reggae on the Rocks festival I attended in 1997.

Red Rocks Amphitheater with its stunning views and natural acoustics has always been my favorite concert venue. That afternoon Reggae concert gave me time to soak in the sunshine, the incredible scenery, and the music’s laid-back groove. It’s a memory I’ll always cherish, and coming across this ticket stub became the seed for my newest song.

From Reggae Roots to Sasquatch Solitude

Going down memory lane sparked my curiosity. I wanted to capture that same easygoing feeling, that laid-back groove, and make it my own. That’s when the idea for this song started to take shape.

The connection to Sasquatch came while I was brainstorming lyrics. Remembering a visit to Boyne City in Michigan, I noticed a big Sasquatch statue at the entrance of a tourist shop near the lake. I’ve always been more of a mountain person than a beach person, so seeing Sasquatch in such a busy lakeside town seemed funny to me.

Aren’t Sasquatch known for being reclusive and impossible to find? That’s when it all started to come together. They’re introverts like me, and that’s all the inspiration I needed to begin coming up with some lyrics.

Then the over-thinking began. I thought ‘Who would blend Reggae with a Sasquatch?’ "It's me, hi. I'm the Sasquatch, it's me." What about Gwen Stefani’s "Hollaback Girl" bringing bananas back into the spotlight? Why couldn’t Sasquatch be next on our radar?

This Song’s Journey

With the reggae vibe and my introverted nature guiding me, I poured my energy into creating some lyrics. I let imagination take the lead and it went a little something like:

There I was, wandering through that busy northern Michigan town on a warm summer day. The weight of the crowds left me craving silence, so I slipped away into the woods. When I found a patch of lush grass, I kicked off my flip-flops. Ahhh, barefoot freedom… something I've always loved. Lost in the quiet morning light, I felt the peaceful presence of Sasquatch: always there, but never found.

Partnering with Suno, I set out to bring my lyrics to life. I experimented with prompts until I found the one that felt just right. One version gave me goosebumps with its powerful ending, but this version captured the perfect vibe I was looking for.

Of the many versions I created with my lyrics, this one stood out because:

• These vocals brought out all the sass in the word, “Sasquatch”, giving it the perfect attitude.

• The word “find” in the line “I’m a shadow in the woods, impossible to find” hit just right, landing in the best way.

• This one was shorter than the others, it got straight to the point and skipped the long prelude.

• It was the only version that delivered female vocals when I asked for male ones, which felt like it was just meant to be.

Gone Like Sasquatch is more than just a song; it’s a trip down memory lane. Back to a simpler time, where music and nature mixed to create a nice little escape. Every note, every word, and every beat reminds me of how deeply this memory shaped this piece of art.
