Groovy metal, love what you've done on this track mate!

Finally some funk metal in my life. Great work!

Karl's take on metal is high art! Your musical culture has a lot to do with it!

Great song. Keep on playing. Love the sound!

Good and original tune. I enjoyed the sound and energy.

I don't care 
If you wanna you can go ahead and stare
It's alright if I don't fit in your world view
I just gotta be true

Cuz I'm just doing my thing Yeah
I'm just doing my thing C'mon

There's a narrow line between heaven and hell
You keep pushing me pushing me pushing me a little bit closer to that edge
I don't really like the me that you're telling me to be
I don't have the time or the patience to wait for you to figure me out
I don't have the time or the patience to wait for you to figure me out

I don't care 
If you wanna you can go ahead and stare
I don't mind if we don't see eye to eye
I just gotta be me

It's so hard to get it all to click when I find it I just want it to stick
I'm taking things slow even though you're telling me to go
If you're holding the up elevator well I'm going down the stairz
I don't have the time or the patience to wait for you to figure me out
I don't have the time or the patience to wait for you to figure me out

I don't care 
If you wanna you can go ahead and stare
It's just fine if you think that I crossed the line
Just don't tell me how to be

Cuz I'm just doing my thing Yeah
I'm just doing my thing C'mon

This tune was released by Michael Jackson in 1995. Performed by me on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #295 by Michael Jackson

Karl Kim is a man of many musical hats (perhaps too many for his own good, but that's a discussion for another time). 

​​His musical journey started off with piano lessons at age six, and from there he has picked up many other instruments over the years, including but not limited to: violin, guitar, trombone, and various percussion instruments. Karl was also just as quick to branch out to styles of music other than classical; most significant of these styles is rock and metal (especially of the progressive variety), but jazz, EDM, experimental music, and folk music from various parts of the world have also played a role in shaping him as a musician. 

As a concert music composer, these musical experiences, especially those as a metal guitarist, are what make up the voice that he projects into his compositions, especially in recent times. Pieces like "The Jury is Sleepless", "Without a Minute to Spare", and "So Cold, So Dark, So Chaotic" exist at a crossroads between music for the concert hall and music for the mosh pit. His music has been performed by ensembles such as the Rhythm Method, S.E.M., and Bearthoven, and he holds a B.M. in Music Theory and Composition from New York University. 

"Karl with a K" is an alter ego of Karl Kim. Karl with a K, while having the same musical background as Karl Kim, draws upon a fascination for rhythm game music that started with Dance Dance Revolution at the age of eight, and grew considerably to encompass games including, but not limited to, Sound Voltex, In the Groove, beatmania IIDX, Voez, and Arcaea. Karl with a K brings his background in metal and 20th century classical music into rhythm game original tracks such as "!CAUTION! small but deadly", "BELLUM", and "rudimentary methods of overkill", which can be characterized by plenty of guitars, unusual rhythms, and sometimes non-instruments being used as instruments. Much of his output as Karl with a K is written for the purposes of Stepmania simfile creation (though as of BMS of Fighters: EighTeen's "0verfl0w_err0r" this is no longer exclusively the case).

Karl Kim currently resides in Bloomington, Indiana where he is pursuing an M.M. in Music Scoring for Visual Media at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. Karl with a K can be seen lurking around the internet (especially specific Discord servers), occasionally not being above a good meme from time to time. In addition, Karl with a K is working on his first project as a game developer, a typing meets rhythm gaming fusion titled "glyph;".
