Very impressive and poignant songwriting Mike 🔥

A very fitting song Mike for this crazy world we live in...Johnny

Great depiction of the goings on all over the world! What life does to everyone everywhere.  This is a clever concept that makes us look beyond ourselves & consider realities for many.  Since you travelled to so MANY different places--mentioned in your bio, it's easy to tell that your perception was inspired by your various residences in obtaining day to day living experiences! Wonderful soft-hearted vocals, Mike! Brilliant track delivery!

Love the laughing and vocals on this track. Clever production.

Great contrast in the main vocal and background track really picks up on the indifference people show for each other :)

this is a Jiminy Cricket song...and I don't say that lightly; the laughter soundrack emphasizes this so clearly; so what do we do?

Just Vocals

One shot recorded live ...no computer jiggling ..almost organic 😊 all on the little machines ...except one big one the Juno 60 🤗 tweaking & twiddling hands on thru out 
its an urban groove thing ,Thanks for listening 🤗,please leave a comment if you like it 😊 thanks 🙏🖖

My Wonderful Dream
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I once had a dream,
A dream, you know,
Where we held each other close,
And never let one another go
I had a dream 
Where we’d be side by side
And maybe, by chance,
One day you’d be my bride.

Some dreams,
they just come and go,
big ones, small ones,
Even the ones we hold on to so
They grow old, they become trivial, 
but some can’t let go. 

From something mundane
To something glorious. 
That’s what those dreams are for,
That’s what those dreams are for,
The dreams we had when young
When were both reaching for the stars,
Those were wonderful dreams,
Those were wonderful dreams,

And then the day came,
When you let your dreams be mine,
And you stood and held my hand,
And you said I’ll never leave you behind.

And if there are dreams,
you can’t seem to impress,
I’ll take those dreams,
And I’ll give them my best. 

Dreams come and go 
But one dream was meant to be so,
You never left that dream behind,
You never let that dream to die,
When you promised to follow me to the earth and back,
You became my dream,
My only dream I’d never lack,

You are, you always will be, the embodiment of that dream,
You are my dream,
You’re the only dream I’ve ever had,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream. 
Dreams come and go 
But you’re that dream that was to be so,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream.  


So here’s to you my dream woman,
May I never find a dream without your dreams at my side,
My dream girl, my dream woman,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream. 
Dreams come and go 
But you’re that dream that was to be so,
My dream. My dream
My wonderful dream. 

I love you my dream woman,

May we keep dreaming for many more years to come.

My Wonderful Dream

Here We Are Once Again(Scraggly Voice Version)
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

Verse 1

Well…here we are once again,
Alone in this cafe,
The place we began as friends,
All on a sunny day. 
While everyone else sat outside,
Watching the world go by,
We sat and fell in love,
Thanks to the Lord on high. 

Chorus 
Here we are once again,
At the table where it all began,
Eating food and enjoying life,
And with you … my wife. 

Verse 2

Do you hear the birds outside
Chirping loudly above?
What was passed down from years ago
When we first confessed our love
Overheard when we were young,
And now repeated from the beaks of doves,
Can you hear them? It’s easy. 
They’re all singing our song. 

Chorus 
Here we are once again,
At the table where it all began,
Eating food and enjoying life,
And the desert … you … my wife. 

Verse 3

Oh…I can’t think of anywhere else,
I’d rather be,
Than with the memories of you and I here,
Having our first cup of tea. 
And to cherish this very moment,
With the woman I adore,
Nothing could make me any happier,
Or to want anything more.

Here We Are Once Again

You lift Me Up
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

Here I am sitting,
With the men of this town,
They want to know what’s so special,
That makes me want you around.
And I tell them once again,
What I’ve told them as my friends,
Many times as has arisen,
Of all the women I have known,
And I’ve known many as been told,
You’re the only one if they listen.

You lift me up when I am down
You lift me up to solid ground,
You lift me up to a proper place,
You lift me up when all else fails,
You lift me up when all is despair,
You lift me up to your strong embrace.

You lift me up when am not sound,
You lift me up when I’m the clown,
You lift me up to not lose face,
You lift me up when I don’t care,
You lift me up from my chair,
You lift me up to save me from disgrace.

You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
All day.
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
Is all I can say.

So when I sit at the gates,
Your love has turned away all hate,
And all I can hear is your praise,
And when it comes my turn to speak,
I stand and tell them what they seek,
You lift me up all day.
And when night falls,
You’re right there with me in the hall,
To cast away all of my pains.

You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
All day.
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
Is all I can say.

You lift me up when all is black,
You lift me up when I have lack,
You lift me up, don’t turn back…

You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
All day.
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
You lift me up,
Is all I can say.

You Lift Me Up (All Day)

Take Me Back Tonight
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

Take me back 
To where it all began,
To that moment in time,
When we first became friends,
When our dreams were real,
And our fantasies, too
And you understood me,
When I said I love you.

Take me back tonight,
To where it all began,
Back to those moments,
We thought would never end.

Take me back,
As only you can do,
To that moment in time,
When I said I love you.
When our parents were alive,
And most of our friends, too.
When we would sneak away,
To make our love a new.

Let’s go back tonight,
To where it all began,
Back to those moments
We thought would never end.

Take Me Back Tonight

All Over the World
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

All over the world, 
All over the world, 
People crying,
People dying,
All over this world.

See the mother lying there,
See the crying baby by her side,
What the world fails to give,
The woman never receives,
Though they keep crying and dying,
No one sees.

All over this world,
All over the world,
People crying,
People dying,
All over the world.

All over the world,
All over the world,
People crying,
People dying,
All over the world.

All Over the World

Another Friend (instrumental)

🎞️ Video: https://youtu.be/wEGoAV5o8HI

Recently a very nice contact arose with a young musician colleague from Norway. He kindly allowed me to remix his outstanding song "The girl with the mechanical heart" in my version. I have created two versions of it. This one (cello version) I upload here on my soundcloud page.

Please visit "Martin D" on his youtube-channel and listen to his original song! Here is the link to it:
https://youtu.be/oAzr0sNiEfY
...and now also to be found here: https://soundcloud.com/martin-dalen
Listen here: 🆕▶️ https://on.soundcloud.com/EWjNP
🙏🏻
Please, visit his wonderful creativity. 

The cover image was created with the help of midjourney's AI. It converts text into images. Beyond imagination, but (unfortunately?) possible. I let my mental visions flow in, typed in a text and THIS came out within a few seconds.

So enjoy all the music & pictures...

"The Girl With The Mechanical Heart" @martin-dalen (feat. frank mehl)

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
