Beautiful track man.  It has the gravity of Nick Cave and the raw innocence of Daniel Johnston.  Powerful and brilliant sir.

Empty Song
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

 Verse One
I walked out of an empty room,
Then stopped, went back in,
To catch one last glance of where you’d been
To caress the skin that once was sin,
But all I saw was an empty room,
Not even the hint of cheap perfume 
I wanted your breasts, but all I found
Was a faded memory on an empty ground. 

Verse Two
I awoke from an empty sleep
Closed my eyes, went back in
I hoped to find you there with me,
But nothing was there but an empty dream. 
I called your name but deep inside
All I heard was an echo in my mind.  

Verse Three
I departed from an empty pub,
I staggered, went back in,
I sat and toasted an empty crowd,
that you return to this town.
And be there always by my side,
And play and laugh like happy times,
But now all Is faded and gone aside,
And thoughts of growing old an empty lie,

Chorus:
Empty dreams, Empty hopes,
There's nothing left for me to cope.
How do I sing now that you’re gone,
When all I have is an empty song. 
How do I feel play in empty halls,
When your memory haunts my every move,
How do I play the songs you loved,
When all I can carry is an empty tune.

'my love'
https://www.instagram.com/one.man.verity.show/reel/C4reGikusR2/

Times have been hard on you and I.
Our blinds have been drawn blocking out the sunshine.
Let's pull them up and let's see what we may find.
For I need your love, you'll always have mine.
My love. You're my love. 

I'm mesmerized by your beauty and your mind.
Still, after these years, I'm amazed that you're mine.
Especially after my mistakes and selfish times.
I must hold on to you for you are divine.

my love

I met Dave Bayes on soundcloud, with his beautiful compositions and excellent guitarplay. We had already worked together. I needed a beautiful instrumental and he needed a voice,...look what happened. Hope you like it!

Zen warrior lyrics

I’m not the kind of girl
That you see in me
I not even come close to who you want me to be
You see in me some kind of fighter in your fantasy
You call me zen warrior
Well it isn’t me, it isn’t me it isn’ t me , no  no

I’m mostly calm and at ease, my breath is deep as a soft slow breeze
Live and let live, avoid the negative
I am I am I am totally zen
(4x)

You never see me start a fight
but don’t attack me
Don’t touch my basic right 
Wanna stay out of trouble
Don’t wanne make it double
Zen warrior zen warrior

Play the piano with your son.

The Lantern Fouling the Brittle Air, Listening to the Dog and the Echo

method: first, I created a shaman-monk-version (mostly ‚Gregorian‘ voice and jaw harp) on cassette tape (this is where some of the noise - especially in the first section - derives from) and zoom r20 with a vacuum-tube pre-amp for the voice ….. all of which I then treated like a field recording sample in Samplitude - sculpting it with vst instruments and effects. 
narration: it feels like I have sonified this poem a million times before …. which might be the case because I have lived through it that often - I and others I dearly care for …. but then again … I might have actually done so. it is also part of the cycle SONIC CASCADE published in  A SINGLE LOOP OF FORTUNES. Alternative titles are ‚TWO-PLACE‘ and ‚04s SAMPLE‘. For this publication, I simplify the title to  ‚SAMPLE‘.

poem / copyright jo richter:

two-place sleeps on the ground
and still doesn‘t know where it is -
all of its strings sound sound
in heaven-hellish bliss -
nothing, it says, goes amiss
that doesn‘t want to be found

I felt for singing this beautiful Hymn from 1779 today...  I used piano backing track ( Its not me playing)... 
Thank you for listening :)

Amazing Grace  (Cover)

I'm a keyboardist with a love for layering sounds to create ambient, ethereal atmospheres and composing simple piano pieces to embellish. I love all genres of music, and find myself composing different types depending on my mood of the day.

I’ve never had formal training. As a teen, my parents wouldn’t let a piano in our house in Egypt, so I studied piece-meal at friends’ homes. When I got to college, I learned by going to university piano practice rooms. In my 40’s, I met my birth-mom who turned out to be a child prodigy, winning a Van Cliburn competition by playing Rachmaninoff at age 11. Most of what I play today, I learned from the techniques she taught me. 

I’m an American who has lived abroad for a good part of my life in Egypt, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Taiwan, and now back to Texas.
