"Inspired by the idea of a road trip and young destructive love. I wanted to hear the urgency of the wheels down the open road and the dust cloud left behind. Part chaos and rebellion. Part serenity and possibility. By the end of this coming of age song I can see the car driving away into the distance, full of optimism and potential"

A coming of age love song - "Beautiful Thunderous"

All I want to get is your affection
I'm not sure I can get your attention right now, right now
You take me all the places I want to go
You make me grin when I see your hair grown out and I like that

Our love is thunderous
Our love is thunderous
It's wonderful and wanderlust
It's beautiful and thunderous
Our love is wonderful, wanderlust, beautiful thunderous

"Pack your bags" you say, you need me
Take me there in the height of summer, let me burn
I'll burn for you
Get into my old black car now
We'll scream and shout and love our way down to the bright lights
I feel free now, free now

"Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it's in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories. Just in that one instance, in my whole life, I did possess actual concrete evidence after the event - years after it." (2.5.14, Winston to Julia)

In a Song That Won't Fade
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

Only a few came to his funeral,
But I stood outside in the rain,
I had received word too late,
In a hospital far away,
I didn’t care to see the sight,
So I took my time that day,
You see I didn’t have much love,
And didn’t wish to stay,
But I still went through the motions,
To show how much I cared.
His son carried his ashes
To his grave
While his mother cried dishonor
Had come to the family name. 
And when the preacher got up to speak,
Christ was never proclaimed,
Not then, not there,
Not in that time of shame.

If I had reached out,
Would it have made a difference,
Would it have stopped the shame,
If I had not kept my love a noun,
But a verb to slice my hate away,
Would I still have been his judge,
And not shown mercy to make his day,
To renew his hope to be a father and husband,
And not let his life slip away,
Can I ever forgive myself for not being there with him,
Even in his last days, 
When he was reaching out,
But I was hiding in my blame.
And now I am stuck
In a song that won't fade.

And I don't want to stay.

In a Song That Won't Fade

Shadows We Inherit continues Luminor’s emotional journey through family, legacy, and loss.

This track explores the weight carried from those before us — scars, silence, and pain — but also the fire and resilience that remain. Built with layered instrumentation of acoustic guitar, piano, strings, percussion, and ambient textures, it’s both haunting and cathartic.

Where Ashes of a Man mourned a father’s decline, Shadows We Inherit asks how we live with what remains — the burdens and the light we carry forward.

Shadows We Inherit

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.
