I Hear Bagpipes
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath
DAW: Reason
Mix: Ozone 11

Lyrics

I hear bagpipes,
On this still night,
I hear them at this moment,
Can you hear them?

I hear bagpipes,
On this starry night,
I hear them in the shadows,
Can you hear them?

Chorus
I hear them playing,
From over the hill,
Coming for me,
then coming for you
Can you hear them, my friend,
Can you hear them?

Interlude

I hear bagpipes,
On this moonless night,
I hear them in the darkness,
Can you hear them?

I hear bagpipes,
On this quiet night,
I hear them from my future,
Can you hear them?

Chorus

Lyrics

come on baby,
come with me,

Let's go to see,

At a local church,

Let's go see a church, 
and let's go see what we can see,
Come with, 
Come with me,
Come with, 
Come with me,
Come with,
Come with me,
there's salvation,
there is.

Come, Come Dance With Me
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath

Lyrics

Come, come dance with me,
Do not fear, for I shall not step on your feet,
I promise to dance away from you,
Never mean to hurt you. 

Please, please arise.
I don't want to dance without you,
I really love you,
I promise these feet won't hurt you. 

Arise, arise from your chair,
I am waiting here for you,
These feet won't stomp you,
I promise not to hurt you.

Come, come dance with me. 
Do not fear, for I shall not harm you,
Only want to dance with you, 
Never mean to hurt you.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Arise, arise from your chair.
I am waiting here for you,
These feet won't stomp you,
I promise not to hurt you.

Come, come dance with me. 
Do not fear, for I shall not harm you,
Only want to dance with you, 
never mean to hurt you.

Come, come dance with me,
Come, come dance with me,
Come, come dance with me.

Come, Come Dance With Me

Rich but Poor
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath

Lyrics

I'm arrogant,
and conceited like you Babe,
Like your father,
Rich but poor,
Clothes tattered but in smooth suede.

I'm advantageous,
And rob those like you do Babe,
Like your mother,
Shrewd with greed,
Stealing but with loving hate.

Nothing's true,
Nothing's a lie,
We're so loaded,
Everything's right.
Nothing stands  in our way,
Nothing ever makes us cry.

I'm satiated,
and devour money like you Babe,
Like your family,
Full but weak,
Standing tall but not in shape.

Money, money, money,
Rain it down on us,
money, money, money,
Open those umbrellas
Catch those lusts.

Nothing's true,
Nothing's a lie,
We're so loaded,
Everything's right.
Nothing stands  in our way,
Nothing ever makes us cry.

Rich but Poor

Pure bubblegum shlock.

Queen of Gasping
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath

Lyrics

Gasping, gasping (x10)

One moment,
Let me catch my breath,
And I'll walk with you,
Once again,
You've knocked the wind,
out of me,
And I can't walk when I can't breathe.

You're truly the queen,
the queen of gasping,
I've no choice,
In your passing,
But to bow and start...

Gasping, gasping (x10)

You should be arrrested,
Locked in a place,
Where there's no key.
And I can't see your face,
Just to breathe again,
and stop...

Gasping, gasping (x10)

Stop please,
Stop, please,
stop being the queen,
The queen of gasping.

Gasping, gasping (x20)
Gasping, gasping

Queen of Gasping

Redid the french song made with my wife for a more retro feel.  Vocals are A.I. 

Rien et Jamais
Music par Mike Krath
Lyrics par Veronica Krath

Lyrics

Je t’appelle
Mais tu ne reponds pas
Je te cherche
Mais tu n’est pas là
Je vois un ombré sur le mirroir
Est-ce que c’est toi?

Le jour se fond dans la nuit
Le silence devient bruit
je te sens près de moi
avec une touche tu me détruis

Rien et Jamais
Rien et Jamais
Tous Les jours
C’est Rien et Jamais
Pour des autres
Plein de joie
Mais pas pour moi
Rien pour moi
Jamais pour moi

Le jour se fond dans la nuit
Le silence devient bruit
J'entends un bruit dans le couloir
Est-ce que c’est toi?

Rien et Jamais
Rien et Jamais
Tous Les jours
C’est Rien et Jamais
Pour des autres
Plein de joie
Mais pas pour moi
Rien pour moi
Jamais pour moi

Je t’appelle
Mais tu ne reponds pas
Je te cherche
Mais tu n’est pas là
Je vois un ombré sur le mirroir
Est-ce que c’est toi?
Est-ce que c’est toi?
Est-ce que c’est toi?

Rien et Jamais (Retro Version)

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.
