Need In My Chest

My son came over and asked to help him revamp an old song of his to a Killer's sound.  Here's our attempt.

Lyrics

I’m a real vampire,
You are just a dreamer,
You can never, never, never, never, ever,
Be a real vampire,
Cause you’re just a dreamer,
You can never, never, never, never, ever,
Be like me.

Do you want to be like me?
Do you want to be like me?
You need to sleep all day,
And then we dance all night.
I’m saying…
Do you want to be like me?
Do you want to be like me?
You need to sleep all day,
Then we dance all night.
I’m saying…
Do you want to be like me?
Do you want to be like me?
You need to sleep all day,
Then we dance all night.
I’m saying…

I'm a Real Vampire

I wrote and revised this song based on a short story I wrote about a date gone horribly wrong.

“No! She can’t be here already!” He ran into his bedroom, slammed the door and fell on his plush, king-size bed. He started to breath heavy and then…then…he started to flap his arms in excitement—a very rare type of involuntary movement. “Quack! Quack!”

Lyrics

Frank loved Chara
And Chara loved Frank
But when the doorbell rang,
Frank’s heart sank
His poor heart sank.
And he ran upstairs
And started to quack.

Chara was coming
Chara was coming for dinner
And she was thirty minutes early
And he hadn’t cooked one dish
Much less two.
And he couldn’t stop flapping his arms
This was not the start of best date for two.

Frank loved Chara,
And Chara loved Frank
And Chara smiled
And Chara clapped
And she knocked on the door
Waiting for Frank to open.

But Frank was upstairs,
Locked in his room
Flapping his arms
Frank had quacked up
This was not Frank’s day.
But Chara she just stayed.

Chara was coming
Chara was coming for dinner
And Frank was flapping his arms upstairs
And there was not much they could do
Except have the worst start of a date for two.

Frank loved Chara

Frank Loved Chara

A country version of my original song.  I think country better expresses the singer's lament.

I Saw a Man in the Dark
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath
artificially enhanced using SUNO

Lyrics

I saw a man in the dark
last night
It wasn’t me,
Couldn’t be,
Shouldn’t be,
Oh no. 

I saw a man give in
to himself
It wasn’t me, 
couldn’t be,
Shouldn’t be
oh no.

Days and days
And months between
And years and years
And no between
And what is left
But solid thoughts
Of wasted opportunities 
And life goes on,
Keeps going on
When I just want to quit

Did I love my children,
their friends,
my spouse,
will my love be
in their memories
when I'm gone?

I saw a man in the dark
last night
It wasn’t me,
Couldn’t be,
Shouldn’t be,
Oh no.

I Saw a Man in the Dark

Lyrics

Hey, Hey,
Hey, Hey

The marbles I just got back in my brain,
Have fallen out and rolled away again,
Rolled away again. 

All because you made me mad,
By all you did and said,
You drove me mad again
By all you did and said.

The marbles I just got back in my brain,
Fell out and rolled away, instead.
And now you tell me the sun is shining
To burn away all my gray,

And you stepped on my hands,
Trying to pick myself up,
All in a beautiful disarray. 

Interlude

The marbles I just got back in my brain,
Have fallen out and rolled away again,
Rolled away again. 

Ha-ha, and you're not even sad,
and I'm stark raving mad,
Ha-ha, and you're not even sad,
and I'm stark raving mad,

Ha-ha, you taught me how to laugh again.
And you're not even sad,
And I'm stark raving mad.

The marbles I just got back in my brain,
Have fallen out and rolled away again,
Rolled away again. 
But all in a beautiful disarray,
All in a beautiful disarray.

Rolled Away Again

Here We Are Once Again
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath

Lyrics

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 by and by.

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 with 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

An AI song created to go with an AI video. Recently been experimenting with AI videos.  Need a lot more to go to make AI video a useful tool.  Like adding screenplays.

Dancing to Heaven

Lyrics

Step by step
We’re moving high
Colors burst
They light the sky (ooh-yeah!)
Hands entwined
We feel the spark
Glowing bright
Even in the dark

[Prechorus]
Every spin
Every turn (spin and turn)
We can feel the fire burn (fire burn!)

[Chorus]
We’re dancing
Dancing to heaven (heaven, heaven!)
Every step
A stairway rising (rising, rising!)
Feel the rhythm
Feel the call
Dancing to heaven
We’ll have it all (all, all!)

[Verse 2]
Hundreds move
A sea of light
Costumes shining
Oh so bright (so bright!)
You and me
We lead the way
Dancing into a brighter day

[Prechorus]
Every leap
Every glide (leap and glide!)
Takes us closer
Side by side (side by side!)

[Chorus]
We’re dancing
Dancing to heaven (heaven, heaven!)
Every step
A stairway rising (rising, rising!)
Feel the rhythm
Feel the call
Dancing to heaven
We’ll have it all (all, all!)

the nature of their being by jeff gardiner 

 ponder and ponder if you wanna
speculations bout meanings and measures and structure
of time and the present
and yet it remains completely unknown
made no dent in the fabric
of monstrous illusion
collusion of unseen forces
nibbling away with whispers
while meekly we, perish, never knowing
what we're feeding
believers believing bleeding rivers of remorse
and of course, the horses don;t ponder for a moment
the nature of their being--

The Nature of their Being-with TexMex Shaman and Mahan💀Mahan

CLIMBIN’ THE WALLS
Another fall
Another injury
Can’t call the doctor
Untrustworthy
Go it alone
All you can do
Prayin’ to God
You’ll pull through

The richest country in the world
The sickest country in the world

CHORUS
Climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Pains got you climbin’, climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Up to your eyeballs
Pains got you climbin’, climbin’ the walls again

Ooooh-oooh-oooh, Ooooh-oooh-oooh

Grin an’ bear it
All you can do
Bills to be paid
Pull yourself through
I suppose
Pain is my strength
Avoiding hospitals
I go to lengths, ‘cuz

A friend ‘a mine
Took the Covid-shots
Ain’t been the same
Sickness non-stop
She can’t breathe
They tell her she’s crazy
Send her home
Cries like a baby

The richest country in the world
The sickest country in the world

CHORUS
Climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Pains got you climbin’, climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Up to your eyeballs
Pains got you climbin’, climbin’ the walls again

Climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Pains got you climbin’, climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Up to your eyeballs
Pains got me climbin’, climbin’, climbin’ the walls again, oh yeah

[Music]

Another pill
Another side effect
Another body
The coroner collects
Left holdin’ the bag
For your mother’s cremation
Cancer stole it all
No salvation

The richest country in the world
The sickest country in the world

Climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Pains got you climbin’, climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Up to your eyeballs
Pains got you climbin’, climbin’ the walls.......

.......Climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Pains got you climbin’, climbin’ the walls
Climbin’ the walls
Up to my eyeballs
Pains got me climbin’, climbin’ the walls again, oh, yeah-yeah

CLIMBIN’ THE WALLS

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.
