you're feling so sad when you sing this song, with sincerely emotion.. 🙏👍

unique expression, a feral calico cat became a wonderful friend for 18 years ...about 8 tears after she passed she appeared to me in a hospital room, like something out of StarTrek, from a "portal", and she said she was traveling through other dimensions ...

Night Flight

I once knew a cat
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath


I once knew a cat
Who lived under the trailer
Where I worked,
And I brought her home
One cold winter morning
I made her bed that evening,
Next to mine
And she slept in it
As though the bed had been hers from the beginning,
And she purred throughout the night,
As the cold wind beat against the windows,
And she made a slight sound,
In what seemed as gratitude 
And from that day on,
We shared a deep bond,

Of all the pets I’ve had,
And I had many before her,
She was my closest,
And the best friend I ever had. 
And when I went about the house,
She’d follow me around,
Everywhere I went,
She was always at my side,
She was right there with me,
In the morning,
In the evening,
She was right by my side,
Until the day she had to go. 

On that day she slept forever. 
Forever my friend went away. 
On that day she slept forever. 
Forever my friend went away.

A spontaneous piece. A short repeating pattern on the piano was found and the lyrics followed in a single take with some background harmonies added to round things off.

UN AIR QUI TRAINAIT À CE COIN DE RUE
UN TRUC À LA TRENET AUJOURD’HUI DISPARU
UNE DOUCE INCONNUE D’UN REVE VÊTUE
 QUI S’OFFRE LA VUE DU PARADIS PERDU

RIEN N’EST PLUS COMME AVANT
SAUF LA PLUIE ET LE VENT 
SUR LES PAVÉS LUISANTS DES TEMPS PEU RELUISANTS
OUI CE SONT D’AUTRES TEMPS QUI ONT PRIS LES DEVANTS
ET OÙ JE VAIS RÊVANT A L’ENVERS DE L’AVANT

UN AIR QUI TRAINAIT À CE COIN DE RUE
UN TRUC À LA TRENET AUJOURD’HUI DISPARU
UNE DOUCE RECONNUE D’UN REVE VÉCU
QUI S’OFFRE A LA VUE DE MON PARIS PERDU

RIEN N’EST PLUS COMME AVANT
NI LA PLUIE NI LE VENT
NI LES PAVÉS LUISANTS UN PEU MOINS RELUISANTS
ET POURTANT DE L’AVANT ON Y VA VAILLAMMENT
SANS SAVOIR NI COMMENT NI POURQUOI ET POURTANT

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.
