I Saw a Man in the Dark Last Night
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

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

The current music scene is great because of the places where music is made and the experiments that are repeated by each personality. For individual creators, it is much more valuable to have an environment where they can come into contact with a large number of personalities than to be spread.

Please read, there will be some technical explanations connected with each track.
 
These all are home studio recordings and  arranged so that I could play them in front of audience. However, currently I am not willing for live performances. I feel pure happiness always when someone listen my music here. I really enjoy Your music, my friends and prove it listen to it as often I practically can.

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.

I'm a French composer based in Lyon

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It is a joy to share with you my original songs and the music that I love.   

I invite you to check out my weekly broadcast on Radio Station VOWR in St. John’s, Newfoundland.  You will find me on the air every Monday at 6:30 pm (EST).  On my program, you will hear modern songs and old standards from a host of musical genres including Light Rock, Contemporary, Folk, Soul and Country.  

Also, my wife Rayna hosts a wonderful radio program every Monday at 3:30 pm (EST) on VOWR.  Her program is an eclectic mix of modern sounds, classic songs and deep cuts.  If you are a music lover, I highly recommend you check it out.  

If you are a songwriter with quality recordings, I encourage you visit Rayna’s SoundCloud page.  She is developing a new show at the station and she will play your music on the air if it meets the standards of VOWR.  The station cannot play anything too heavy or overly aggressive as it is a community based, family oriented station.  

Thank you to the many writers, producers and performers on SoundCloud who inspire me every day. I truly respect your creativity, musicality and dedication.
