Lyrics:
remember when we were young
remember all the things that we shared together
honestly i don’t know how we lasted so long

you are still here with me
even through the bad times
cause god really knows
that we had our fair share of those

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healing soul

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healing soul

the sky is crying but
what happened to all the tears
they’re not touching me
and it’s not near me

i see it falling but it never reaches out to me
like it always used to
whenever there was evil

rain a little harder and then
come and try to touch the ground
wet me on my head
come and make me better

free us from the evil
take away the pain it caused
and leave us with a pure soul
that commands no evil

i need the water of god
kindly bestowed upon me

i need to cleanse my soul
take the evil straight out of me

then we need to cleanse the world
so everybodies soul can be free
but the rain is not touching down

can’t you see the evil all around
that’s some shit we need to take down
we need to take it all down right damn now

magical mystical miracle
pouring rain in the sky

soon be gone
as quick as it came
the healing storm
will go away

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
all the pain

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
you’ll be saved

we need the cleansing water
so as to make us better inside

do you wanna be saved
or would you rather be evil and die
i don’t know why

cause once god cuts off the cleansing waters
there’s nothing we can do
and then we’re through

so show your true colors
there is so much good still left in you

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
all the pain

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
you’ll be saved

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healthy soul

Virga (feat. LARA Z)

The second track I have done with The Gatsbys and it’s always a pleasure to be asked to collaborate.
Dirk sent me the instrumental and like before I was blown away by his guitar work & melody.
I contributed the lyrics and vocal melodies to this.
It was an honour that he used Nothing left to defend on his latest album Cancel the winter.
So to be asked again was always going to be a yes. 
The  Gatsbys always create that live indie band sound on final recordings  especially with Bens percussion work. 
I hope you enjoy the track as I enjoyed singing on it.
We give you The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie….



V1
He would never catch you when you fall 
Like humptey dumptey on the nursery tale wall 
I’m that 3am person who you can always call
I’ve got your back and I do what you ask 

Bridge
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V2 
I will always show up when your down on your luck 
We’re all born to  places and seldom thunderstruck 
Somewhere along the way we all lose ourselves 
We must  come back stronger to say our Fairwells 

Chorus 
Whitheat happiness 
Will take away this   heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess your happiness 


V3
Let’s move away from what we only know 
To a place where we enjoy the feeling of the afterglow 
Where every single  eye only see the now
To Rebuild again & be happy Somehow 


Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V4 
I just wanna be your whiteheat happiness
And be that warrior who takes away the sadness 
Friends with benefits can’t last forever 
So look no further for your buried treasure 

Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. buttercup 


V5 
Drive in my head im six months down line 
Time as been the healer and now you are mine
I am yours and there is another new bloodline
To be arriving in 9 months from treasure to a goldmines

Chorus 
White heat happiness 
Will take away this heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess….
Your happiness

Whiteheat Happiness - The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie

Dear friends, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
It can be noted that many people become extra kind and friendly during Christmas time, even if not everyone celebrates Christmas. Perhaps a ceasefire can be implemented in the Middle East - It has been talked about! Now, one can only hope that Mr. President Putin's heart will be transformed from stone to gold!

Lyrics in English
A Heart of Gold

Now comes the most beautiful time
you can see when the birds fly to us
they know that we now - have a heart of gold

When you meet someone in the town square
you can see that they bow and bow
and they smile at me - they have a heart of gold

You can hear that those who rule the world now
have softened and they say that now there will be peace
you can hope that they - have a heart of gold

Both mistress and master are friendly now
they give a meat bone to the dog and the cat runs free
everyone notices right now - that Christmas has come here

Lyrics in Swedish
Ett Hjärta av Guld

Nu kommer den vackaste tiden hit
man kan få se när fåglarna flyga till oss
de vet att vi nu - har ett hjärta av guld

Då man möter någon på stadens torg
man kan få se att dom niger och bugar sig
och dom ler mot mig - dom har ett hjärta av guld

Man kan höra att dom som styr världen nu
har mjuknat upp och dom säger att nu ska det bli fred
man kan hoppas att dom - har ett hjärta av guld

Både matte och husse är vänliga nu
dom ger ett köttben till hunden och katten springer fritt
alla märker just nu - att julen har kommit hit

Ett Hjärta av Guld (A Heart of Gold - A Christmas Carol) - 2024-12-22 12.17

DANS UN AUTRE MONDE

Oui, je suis amoureux
Et j’en ai bien conscience
C’est un plaisir pour deux
Jamais gagné d’avance
Au hasard de rencontres
C’est un bien que l’on prend
Alors quand on le montre
C’est que l’on aime vraiment

Oui, je suis amoureux
Je ne voulais y croire
En pensant que pour eux
C’était une belle histoire
Je voyais pour les autres
Sans même me regarder
Et puis un jour la notre
Est venue me chercher

Je me retrouve dans un autre monde
Heureux comme tout
Et mon bonheur abonde
Dans le cœur de partout.

Oui, je suis amoureux
Que puis-je de plus vous dire
Je suis un homme heureux
Retrouvant un sourire
L’amour çà nous repose
C’est un autre pays
La vie, c’est peu de chose
Donner c’est prendre aussi

Je me retrouve dans un autre monde
Heureux comme tout
Et mon bonheur abonde
Dans le cœur de partout.

Oui, je suis amoureux
Un beau bonheur de l’être
Car à ce grand jeu
C’est tous les jours une fête
Il y a des gagnants
A la lot’rie du cœur
J’y croyais plus avant
C’était une grosse erreur

Je me retrouve dans un autre monde
Heureux comme tout
Et mon bonheur abonde
Dans le cœur de partout.

IN ANOTHER WORLD

Yes, I'm in love
And I am well aware of it
It's a pleasure for two
Never won in advance
By chance encounters
It is a good that we take
So when we show it
It’s what we really love

Yes, I'm in love
I didn't want to believe it
Thinking that for them
It was a beautiful story
I saw for others
Without even looking at me
And then one day ours
Came to pick me up

I find myself in another world
Happy like everything
And my happiness abounds
In the hearts of everywhere.

Yes, I'm in love
What more can I tell you
I am a happy man
Finding a smile again
Love rests us
It's another country
Life is little
Giving is also taking

I find myself in another world
Happy like everything
And my happiness abounds
In the hearts of everywhere.

Yes, I'm in love
A beautiful joy of being
Because in this great game
Every day is a party
There are winners
To the lottery of the heart
I believed in it more before
It was a big mistake

I find myself in another world
Happy like everything
And my happiness abounds
In the hearts of everywhere.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nature has conspired to bring a basketful of obstacles 
Pesky interfering things, not the things she ought to bring 
They pile up in my way like spiky beaver dams 
They just accumulate like unbrushed tresses,

Well surprise surprise, they can be wonderful

An infantry of shoulds and bags of promises 
Have all transmogrified and curl like willow branches 
That crown around my head and vine around my feet 
And where the fire burned, they slurp the ashes

But surprise surprise, they're kinda beautiful
 it’s all so beautiful


Surprise surprise, it’s pretty beautiful
Nature is a wild thing with no philosophy 
And where the atoms turn is helter skelter 
So on the sides of trees forever lichen grows 
And mossy destiny is in their shelter

Surprise surprise, it’s all so beautiful


Surprise Surprise (with Janine Levinson)

After Dark (Extend) guitar version

This LP was my first. But were not on streaming. Though i remade all songs and there is it.

atitudes

So here's the finalized version of my songs! 

I feel kind of weird releasing them now, because I wrote these so long ago. These songs are some of my first ones I've ever written. I've spent so many hours recording in my basement or in a music room after school, editing on GarageBand, and just trying to make it sound the best I could with what I had. I don't relate to them as much as I used to, because even in the last several months I've grown as a person, and when I listen to them, I definitely feel like I'm listening to a less-confident, younger, more scared me. Nonetheless, here they are now. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you for your support and stay safe,

Mikaela Mae <3

with you

Latest Updates: 
Over 1800 Tracks now on my channel, making music on here since 2015.
Have been remastering some of my 'unloved' tracks from the past here on SC - music which has not received as many plays as I would have expected. Maybe 2nd time around your might like it.
The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set. (Now available on Bandcamp). 2020 consists of a 3 volume set (now available on Bandcamp).
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
