Lyrics:

So you’re gone now
Oh, my friend
I don’t know how it ended
But I’m sure I’ll find a clue
What happened with me and you
I hope you’re happy, whatever you’re doing

It’s a million lies away
I can’t understand it
Oh, you’re here and then it’s grey
How the clouds are banding
How do I understand it all
I’ll find my way
I have to pay

And I wait for a call 
It don’t come
Talk it out with my friends
Oh they’re right now
When they say that it’s done
Turned to dust 
I know, I can’t let go
I’ll find a way to carry on


It’s a million lies away
I can’t understand it
Oh, you’re here and then it’s grey
How the clouds are banding
How do I understand it all
I’ll find my way
I have to pay

I know I failed
Saw you breaking on the chair
Balcon, we fought
Tore the world apart
Don’t know how I couldn’t see your pain
I can’t, won’t go there again

And we tore the world apart
Let it go asunder
As I gave you all my rage
You took the pain and ran again


It’s a million lies away
I can’t understand it
Oh, you’re here and then it’s grey
How the clouds are banding
How do I understand it all
I’ll find my way

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my music. All tracks are demos. If you'd like to say hi or collaborate, get in touch!

More music on Spotify and Bandcamp. Also, please check out my playlists, three compilations of some of my favourite tracks from a wide range of incredible, creative souls on SC.

You never know where a song is going until it reaches the end. I always listen from start to finish for that very reason.

lofi oddities since 2018 -- collected ambient tracks remastered for Solemn Music for Practical People, out now and among many great artists at Atlantea Records on cd, digital and Bandcamp:

Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect.
My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals — usually in several versions, some of which eventually disappear because they’re simply unlistenable.

Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.
Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

By popular demand (well, actually just my daughter’s — she insists it’s the “cooler” platform), I’ve finally started putting some of my music on Spotify too...

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!

I've posted some 'live' homemade performance here: https://www.instagram.com/michele_ansani/
