My son told me to do a cover of one of the songs I posted a few years back. So I A.I. enhanced my original song and vocals.  It's like hiring a garage band across the street to perform your music.  "How much?" they ask. "One dollar." I say. "It's a deal!"

She’s an Alien

Verse 1

It’s been over a day,
She doesn’t laugh, she doesn’t play,
She sits still, she looks away,
She transmits to my thoughts, she enslaves my brain. 

Chorus

She’s an alien,
She’s possessed by an alien,
She doesn’t cook, she doesn’t clean,
She’s an alien...from Mars. 

Verse 2
It’s been over a week,
She doesn’t move, she doesn’t blink,
The whole place is starting to stink,
She’s got me on the edge, she’s making me think. 

Chorus

She’s an alien,
She’s possessed by an alien,
She doesn’t cook, she doesn’t clean,
She’s an alien...from Mars. 

Verse 3

It’s been over a year,
She doesn’t stir, she doesn’t hear,
Her skin turned blue and now it’s clear,
She’s never going to do my laundry, she’s never gonna cook my meals. 

Chorus

She’s an alien,
She’s possessed by an alien,
She doesn’t cook, she doesn’t clean,
She’s an alien...from Mars. 

Bridge

But Andromeda
It’s not a strain
To think it’s this
But then again 
It could simply be
Kepler-452b!

She's an Alien From Mars

O some days...I just don't wanna get
out of bed...and I wish it could be said
that U are the reason and the cause
(in a good way...) yea
if dreams were living then I'm sure 
I could be more forgiving to the dead
yea...we could meet on an island of clouds
come dressed in anything but our death shrouds
and everyone will be looking healthy
smiles and smiles for a thousand miles
not one above the other
and no need to hide and cover
cause if dreams were living
then I'm sure...I could be more forgiving...to the dead
yea...so I sink down further in my bed
and I pretend
cause when I awake to join the living
I must say goodbye to the dead in my head
and babe, my dreams...where I keep U...
yea...them dreams that are living
keep me thinking on forgiving the dead

I Could Be More Forgiving

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

Gene Jumper, In The Shadow Of The Cross, Johnny Minstrel, ( cover)

I didn't think I had a problem
and I never doubted that you'd see
that the party responsible wasn't me
but what did I know
how could it be...I wonder
what persuaded U to make me the priority
yea
medicate it...
not cause it cures what ails ya
but cause compliance is the stuff that nails ya
poly poly had a pharmacy
what's up doc?
ya wanna lobotomize me?
O yea
a chemical lobotomy
its all the rage...at every age
and we can still make some bill
even if ur in a cage
O yea yea yea
I said...yea yea yea
and...yea its irony
too much time in the medication line
buzz buzz me in
cause poly poly had a pharmacy
what's up doc?
ya wanna lobotomize me?
O yea a chemical lobotomy
and I don't think I had a problem and I never doubted that you'd see that the party responsible wasn't me

Even If Ur In A Cage

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

Get Real (Your Soon) [Eighteen]
A song about how I felt when I was seventeen years old.

[Verse 1]
They say "these are your golden years,"
but all I see is rust and fear.
Built to follow, trained to crawl—
tell me, who stands tall?

[Verse 2]
They say "work hard, play it straight,"
but they don’t mention interest rates.
A future sold before it starts—
tell me, who takes part?

[Verse 3]
They say "be patient, wait your turn,"
but all I see are bridges burned.
They build the cage, then call it home—
tell me, who moves on?

[Chorus:]
Get real – Eighteen

[Outro:]
They say "you’ll understand someday,"
but I don’t wanna fade away.
So tell me now, tell me loud—
who wrote this script—and how?

[Chorus:]
Get real – Eighteen

Get Real [Eighteen]

Falling Like Tracy

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

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

Killer

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.
