Because Our Love Is Real

And My Parking Space
 Lyrics and Music by Mike Krath

I saw a building go up today
In a city that didn’t need another building
And My view was blocked when I didn’t even have a window,
And my parking space,
And my parking space,
Gone. 
 
And I saw a gated park today,
In a city that had a thousand parks already.
And it was locked and required a key
And I was arrested when I tried to enter. 
And my parking space,
And my parking space,
Gone. 
 
And I wondered why I bothered
To make this place my home
When I couldn’t even manage
To make a space my own,
 
And I saw a sidewalk being built today
On a street where no one was in a hurry. 
And I heard a shout to cross the street
When there wasn’t a light to warn you. 
And my parking space,
And my parking space,
Gone. 
 
Instrumental
 
And I wondered why I bothered
To make this place my home
When I couldn’t even manage
To make a space my own,
And why a woman without a child
Walks a lonely road to find one,
Or why a man who wants a mate,
Takes all the steps to be alone. 
And why the things we want to keep,
By time and chance move on. 
It’s not like we don’t see it,
But when we do, it’s gone. 

And my parking space,
And my parking space
Gone.

Lyrics/Music by Mike Krath

My Parking Space (remixed)

Me and ghosts. I've always thought this one sounds so much like a jazz club in NYC. I can smell the perfume, stale beer and cigarettes.

Dear music lovers, this song was actually not meant to be. Originally, it was only meant to be a bridge between two songs. But magically the piece took on a life of its own. So a few bars became a whole track. Surprising. Another track from my Island Suite.
Of course, the photo also comes from my "pixel kitchen".
Have fun with it.

Liebe Musikbegeisterte, dieser Song war eigentlich gar nicht so gedacht. Ursprünglich sollte es nur eine Bridge zwischen zwei Liedern werden. Auf magische weise hat sich das Stück aber verselbstständigt. So ist aus ein paar Takten ein ganzer Track geworden. Überraschend. Ein weiterer Titel aus meiner Island Suite.
Das Foto stammt selbstredend auch aus meiner Pixelküche.
Habt Spaß damit.

Island Running

This one's a bit Nick Cave-ish. I think it needs some vocals!

No Longer Afraid

She’d suffered abuse all through her life 
Because she was different in kind 
Taunted and ridiculed day after day
By far lesser people maligned

She’d always been friendless and always alone 
No one to make her feel whole
Her mind infiltrated a dangerous zone 
No more would she be so afraid

Slowly she walked into the sea
Her body submerged by the waves
Her hopes and her dreams had faded away
But she was no longer afraid

The waves stole the breath from her body 
Until lifeless and stiffened she lay
Her terrors and anguish were no longer there
And she was no longer afraid

Simplicity

No Longer Afraid

Lifetimes

Hallowed Corruption - Sonic Kitchen collab

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.
