The Other Man — AI song by @Unleashed

Entry in the Prompt to Playlist theme on BudgetPixel.
The AI said this is Country, I'm thinking... no. What genre should this be? I have several songs in this style, and I'll pick the right genre from now on. Mureka has problems with mispronouncing words sometimes. And it added a LOT to the end. Still, I love how this came out.

Lyrics — “The Other Man” by @Unleashed
I had never been married But I'd had a lot of wives Then I found what my heart needed And quit living stolen lives I knew the back doors and the lies The midnight calls, the alibis I never asked whose ring they wore I only came back wanting more Then you came and changed my ways Turned restless nights to settled days I cut the numbers from my phone I found a love to call my own I learned to trust, I learned to stay To mean the things I used to say I thought the man I'd been was gone I thought I'd finally moved on Then your phone lit up one night You turned the screen out of my sight You said my name, then looked away And I knew just what that look could say I knew the pattern, knew the signs I'd heard the same rehearsed old lines You swore that I had read it wrong What they told their husbands all along I used to be the other man The one who never gave a damn Now I was standing where he'd stood Feeling what I never could I knew the waiting, knew the doubt The questions you can't reason out The empty room, the silent phone The kind of hurt you face alone Back then I never saw his eyes I only heard their alibis Now every lie I helped them tell Comes back to drag me through this hell Funny how the world comes round Until your own heart hits the ground I never cared who paid the price When a stranger’s love was sacrificed Maybe this is what I earned A hard old lesson finally learned Every fire you help to start Can find its way back to your heart I had never been married But I'd had a lot of wives Then I found the one worth changing for And changed my whole damn life I left the back doors far behind The secret calls, the borrowed time I thought I'd finally understand How not to be the other man But life can turn without a sound And flip your whole world upside down I spent my years being the lie Never knowing how a love could die I used to be the other man Never tried to understand Till the woman who taught me love Went and found another man I had never been married But I'd had a lot of wives Then I finally learned to love someone And she taught me the other side I spent my life as the other man Never thought I'd understand Till the woman who taught me love Went and found another man

Thank you! I am now listening to a Dark Blues playlist on YouTube, and it's pretty awesome. I mean...mine's better, but they obviously tried really hard. They also have 78k likes, and I have 8. So, I'm pretty close.

I'm not sure what genre I'd call this. I'm good with saying I don't think it's this or that, but not what I think it should be.
Unleashed
I agree, but what to call it? Bluntry? It sounds like music about smoking pot. I wrote one of those too. That's not to say I do that.

Google mentioned it might be dark blues. The songs I listened to has many similarities.
Sealine
You are such an amazing storyteller in your songs! Added to my playlist!
dezie
Great song! I'd say a cross between blues and country.

Cool song, has hint of Leonard Cohen for me. I can understand why country, there certainly some country vibes in the licks and lines, and the instrumentation plus the lyrics have that country story-telling feel. A google suggests maybe country-folk, slowcore country, maybe outlaw folk. I'd not consider this blues, none of the chracteristic licks andprogressions of blues in that. Not that genre matters - largely invented to arrange albums in a music store or now tag a playlist.
Unleashed
Americana or something. Not what I think of when I think of country though.

Thank you! I really appreciate you saying that.
