Name: Don’t Explain by Michael A
Duration: 4 min 16 s
Description: A break up song written many years ago by me as a sad young man!

Song written in the late 80's recorded in the early 90's  and now brought life with full band.
Written while living in Doraville, GA after being approached by a homeless man.

Beggar

Verse 1
We caught the tide and let it drift away
The morning light began to play
You hummed a tune, the sea would sway
And all my blues just washed away

Verse 2
Your barefoot steps were tapping on the sand
We traced the waves with open hands
The sun spilled gold across the land
Like love had painted where we stand

Chorus
It’s true
No one loves me like you do
Made my gray skies turn to blue
I am happy cause of you

Verse 3
We found a tree and carved our names inside
The branches swayed and brushed the sky
Your voice was soft, the breeze replied
And time just passed, we let it slide

Chorus
It’s true
No one loves me like you do
Made my gray skies turn to blue
I am happy cause of you


Happy Cause Of You

Another cover of one of my old songs. Using the demo for this  means that the lyrics, melody, and any associated riffs, etc are captured by Suno. This does not necessarily create a better track - but it sounds more like the song I wrote. In this case, I actually think that the AI came up with a better melody when presented with just the lyric.  Maybe you might even find the  other Suno offering her on Soundcloud, and let me know what you think, I would love to know.

Reassimilation (This Fractured Life)

Verse 1
The lights are harsh, the ground feels strange,
After years away, everything's changed.
The faces familiar, yet out of place,
I search for belonging, a trace of grace.

Verse 2
The skyline hums a forgotten song,
I feel like I never belonged for long.
But whispers remind me, the roots still remain,
Beneath the concrete, beneath the pain.

Chorus
Reassimilation, finding my way,
Through cracks in the pavement, night into day.
Carrying shadows, but learning to stand,
I’m piecing together this fractured life with broken hands.

Verse 3
And if I falter, if I fall,
The city will answer, it knows it all.
Through loss and fracture, I’ve come to know,
The only way back is to let it show.

Chorus (Repeat)
Reassimilation, finding my way,
Through cracks in the pavement, night into day.
Carrying shadows, but learning to stand,
I’m piecing together this fractured life with broken hands.


Reassimilation (This Fractured Life)

Golden Horizon (Yellow)
A hymn to the earth as Tibet’s foundation – stable, wise, and eternal. The golden horizon shines with the timeless light of wisdom and tradition.


Golden fields beneath the mountain sun,
the earth remembers where we’ve begun.
Every stone, every grain of sand,
is the heartbeat of this land.

Golden horizon, steady and wide,
the spirit of Tibet will never hide.
Strong as the mountains, ancient and true,
the wisdom of earth is shining through.

Monks in saffron robes bow low,
their chants like rivers, steady flow.
The soil is sacred, the past remains,
a heritage carved in the veins.

Golden horizon, steady and wide,
the spirit of Tibet will never hide.
Strong as the mountains, ancient and true,
the wisdom of earth is shining through.

Through time and change, the earth will stay,
a guiding light, a golden way.
Nangsal Drolma, bright and near,
your radiant compassion is always here.

Golden horizon, steady and wide,
the spirit of Tibet will never hide.
Strong as the mountains, ancient and true,
Nangsal Drolma, we sing to you.

Golden Horizon

A song about life's cycle from dust to dirt...
The pace of the lyrics is meant to feel like a counter-point to the the slow BPM of the track. 
Recorded directly into an old iPad using Garageband. 

From Dust to Dirt

Soon to have our baby, don’t know what to expect on the daily, You love me one day then the next you hate me, You flatter me in embracing vibes then, in naught point 5, killing me, metaphorically, It’s your eyes, they cut deeply.

I’m about to bring new life into the world, in waters uncharted, Me and mum weren’t great together, Best decision was a mutual departure.

I’m about to bring new life into the world, But part of mine just ended, feeling every twist and turn.
 don’t know what to expect on the daily, You love me one day then the next you hate me, You flatter me in embracing vibes then, in naught point 5, killing me, metaphorically speaking, It’s your eyes


Now it’s new autumn, only first week of October, Leaves are browning and some already grounded and have started rotting, But hey there’s a new vibe around autumn now, A son begotten to me, breathe air for the first time and let a newborn cry out.

I’m about to bring new life into the world, But part of mine just ended, feeling every twist and turn.
 don’t know what to expect on the daily, You love me one day then the next you hate me, You flatter me in embracing vibes then, in naught point 5, killing me, metaphorically speaking, It’s your eyes

Who are you, who am I From fallen leaves to newborn cries

Soon to have our baby, don’t know what to expect on the daily, You love me one day then the next you hate me, You flatter me in embracing vibes then, in naught point 5, killing me, metaphorically speaking, It’s your eyes, they cut deeply.

I’m about to bring new life into the world, in waters uncharted, Me and mum weren’t great together, so we departed, broken hearted aw man, well it is what it is baby ohh baby haha well...

Now it’s new autumn, only first week of October, Leaves are browning and some already grounded and have started rotting, But hey there’s a new vibe around autumn now, A son begotten to me, breathe air for the first time and let a newborn cry out.

Who are you, who am I From fallen leaves to newborn cries
Cries at night, baby looking one more feed before lights out for the night, Eyes closed tight. Drifting off to sleep time, don’t know how with my breaking voice as I try singing lullabies, You’re beautiful Arlo, pure and full. I love your son, goodnight.

Don’t Explain

Hi, thanks for stopping by my Soundcloud page.  I'm a songwriter and novelist from North West England, looking to reach a wider audience with these little treasures of mine.

My three novels, 'Gavin & The Bodysnatchers', 'Sixth Beatle' and ‘Peckersley’s Bird Cafe’ are available through my website - link below. Plus you can find out a lot more about me there.

For music fans on here, you’ll find that my ‘Sixth Beatle’ novel is about a young composer trying to come up with the most perfect piece ever written. What most of us creating on Soundcloud strive for, I guess - but not many come close to achieving! 😁 Why not check it out?
