Holding on
Holding on
Holding on 
Still holding on to you
Holding on
Holding on
Holding on to you

Here we go
Tryna make it tryna find out on our own 
Tryna love with dirty hearts made out of stone
Pushed a button that we shoulda left alone
Now we know

We complain
But it's our fault we lost our way
We shoulda kept our faith
There's no one else we can blame
We knew that it was wrong
It was a dirty game and we still played along
We thought that we were strong
And now we're clinging on and on and on to you

Holding on
Still holding on to you
Holding on
Still...

No time to waste
Driving down the highway just to get away 
Leaving everything behind that caused the pain
Out on the open road and don't know where to go
Tryna make it home

We complain
But it's our fault we lost our way
We shoulda kept our faith
There's no one else we can blame
We knew that it was wrong
It was a dirty game and we still played along
We thought that we were strong
And now we're clinging on and on and on 

We complain
But it's our fault we lost our way
We shoulda kept our faith
There's no one else we can blame
We knew that it was wrong
It was a dirty game and we still played along
We thought that we were strong
And now we're clinging on and on and on to you

Holding On

Holding On (with Mayah Camara)

Off to the beach in the cabriolet. We spend a fantastic day under the blazing sun. 
A good mood and of course the right music are not to be missed. So fold down the roof of the cabrio, put the cassette with the vibe of Beachlife 1985 into the tape, enjoy the day AND HAVE FUN....

Beachlife 1985

In collaboration with the enchanting Nikki Dodds, who gives this song the fantastic vibe with her voice and the extraordinary sound of Morphoice, who among other things recorded the original 80's Simmons toms and gave the song the final touch.

It was a brilliant collaboration with professionals at the highest level.
Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to work with you Nikki and Marco.

Lyrics:

SPOKEN:
No matter what I do I keep dreaming a parallel life me and you
I tried to runaway, my mind cannot forget, the moments, the feeling

Can’t help myself
Gravity holds me then it drops
And I’m falling
Down to you

I get lost in these moments
Wanna feel whole again
Hmmmhmmm

Magnetic Touches
Keep drawing me in
Magnetic Touches
Don’t stop this
Magnetic Touches
Keep drawing me in
Magnetic Touches
Is what I neeeed

How will I ever escape
From the truth that I choose
It’s never easy
When you’re not afraid

I get lost in these moments
Wanna feel whole again
Wanna feel whole again

Magnetic Touches
Keep drawing me in
Magnetic Touches
Don’t stop this
Magnetic Touches
Keep drawing me in
Magnetic Touches
Is what I neeeed

You Keep you keep
Drawing me in
I miss I miss
Magnetic Touches

SPOKEN:
I keep dreaming a parallel life
You touched my heart and I cannot forget
I miss your ways and I miss your words, I miss I miss

Magnetic Touches is what I need
Magnetic Touches don’t stop
Magnetic Touches is what I need
Magnetic Touches don’t stop

Into The Lights

This track is the main track of my new EP "Downtown LA".

I'm taking you on a journey through Los Angeles.

Who doesn't know those days when you just want to sit in your car, listen to cool music and drive towards the sunset.

Donwtown LA takes you through various musical emotions and themes.

Producing the tracks was a lot of fun and kept me in the mood of summer and cruising around LA.

Almost everyone I played the songs to said that it could be an perfect soundtrack for the game GTA 6 :-)

What do you think? Could the songs be played in this game?

Have fun listening and relax :-)

Leaving

Echo is a song that tells the story of a love that’s gone but still emotionally present.

I chose the minimalist production deliberately because, in my opinion, Echo doesn’t need anything more—it lets the raw, honest feelings take full focus. The simplicity carries the song and gives space and freedom for all the thoughts and emotions that resonate within it.

Nic’s voice creates an intense atmosphere and gives you lasting goosebumps. The song captures the tension between closeness and distance, showing how powerful a memory can be, even when paths have long since parted.

For me personally, Echo is a track from the heart, and I hope you can feel it too—and let your thoughts roam free.

Echo (feat. Nic) - Michael Kross

With pleasure I share with you my first single "Darker One".

It is an instrumental and powerful song.

A good friend told me that "Darker One" would fit well on a soundtrack by Bladerunner or Terminator 😁🙈

But listen for yourself. I am looking forward to your visit and maybe your support :-)

Darker One

This song is a collaboration with Sen from electric Seagulls. 
He played the stunning guitar part. 

We wanted to produce a shallow and dreamy track with heart. With "Magnetic" we created a song of this kind and oriented ourselves on the beautiful 80s film music. Especially the college movies from that time.

We take you on a little journey through a world of emotions. 
What are your feelings?
Find out and listen to this song...

Have fun with it

Your Michael Kross and Sen

Magnetic

Magnetic (feat. Sen from Electric Seagulls)

Here you will hear a song that evokes strength and confidence.

My thought while producing was to get in the car, listen to this song and just drive into the sunrise.
So put the tape in the car stereo and get out on the street....

Just put your own worries and thoughts aside and "Escape" from it all for a while....

What do you think? Listen in and be enchanted :-)

Have fun with it

Your Michael Kross

Escape

With this song a little dream came true. 

When I started producing music, I wanted to make a song that could be played in those typical teenager movies. 

The breathtaking and authentic 80's voice of Drew 
from "The Last Years", hit the nerve. I love his AWESOME voice!

Imagine you are at your prom and the last song of the evening is played "Teenage Feeling".

Let yourself drift and be carried away by our song... :-)

Have fun!

Lyrics:

Late nights are callin
And maybe we’ll sleep before dawn
But my hearts not fallin
Unless you’re the one
Let’s stay here forever
Just talking all night
I feel my heart is fallin
cause you’re the one

We’ve got that teenage feeling
Come on the night is young
We’ve  got that teenage feeling
We’re ready to run

Memories they light up
Every part of me
Girl you’ve got me missing
That youthful mystery
We’ll take the world together
And give it all we’ve have
Just you and me forever
Hand in hand

We’ve got that teenage feeling
Come on the night is young
We’ve  got that teenage feeling
We’re ready to run

Special thanks to all. Without you the song would never have become like this. I am very proud to work with you!

Special thanks 2.0 to Morphoice, it was a pleasure to work with you and created the right vibes for Teenage Feeling :-)

Teenage Feeling

Teenage Feeling(feat. The Last Years)

The Rush

The shimmer in your eyes
puts our story into motion
And I can’t catch my breath
I feel my feet move beneath me
Pulling me closer to you
I’m on my way
I want to say this to you
Before this light takes over
And tomorrow always gets in the way
I reach for your hand
And see your surprise
Because tomorrow always gets in the way

I feel the rush
pour through my veins
I feel the night
This time is now
its our to keep
I feel alive

As I walk beside you
Looking for our reasons
I find myself in awe
Of all the nights That brought me
Right here to this moment
Just to be with you

There’s got to be a reason
I’m standing here beside you
Tonight

I feel the rush
pour through my veins
I feel the night
This time is now
its our to keep
I feel alive

The Rush

The Rush (feat. The Last Years)

Almost Home is an instrumental synthwave song that takes you as a listener on a short journey through emotions and dreamy moments.

If you listen carefully you will notice new elements in the song again and again, which do not let the song become boring.
The breathtaking emotinal guitar playing of Sen raises this song to a beautiful dreamy level. 

Take a listen, open your mind and let yourself be enchanted.

We hope you will like it.

Your Michael and Sen
