A pop AI cover of my non-AI instrumental with added non-AI lyrics.  

On the Level
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath

Lyrics

I want to tell you on the level, 
You're something special,
Like the best part of a song,
If you let me, I will take you,
To a place,
Where we dance alone.
La di dah, di dah (x2)

Somewhere without moonlight,
a night without stars,
Where you'll be my light,
Bright from afar.
Where every lah will be a dee,
And every dee will be a dah.
La di dah, di dah.

I want to dance with you so very bad,
Love not wasted,
Love not sad,
Just go out,
So rad,
So rad.
La di dah, di dah.

Dance with me in the moonlight,
under the shimmering stars,
See how some are bright,
But you're the brightest by far.

La di da, di dah,
A shine on your face,
A beauty to embrace,
La di da, di dah.

On the Level

Composed this last week and used the music for an AI cover.

Nine Six Twenty Five (non-AI)

I completed a non-AI instrumental this weekend, but the temptation was too great to do an AI cover and add lyrics.  I fell asleep as I was working on the lyrics.  My wife heard the unfinished lyrics being sung and woke me to tell me to keep writing.

You're Not Seeing Me
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath

Lyrics

I awake without you by my side,
As though what we did was left behind,
Were you really here last night,
Or was that just in my mind,
And when I prod myself to remember,
I don't think what we did was that tender.
Oh no, no, no,
Oh no, no, no.

I want to forget as I'm able,
This love that's been so painful,
A love not real,  just a fable,
Nothing's left on the table,
Never stay, all about,
One foot in, one foot out.
oh, oh.

When you're here, 
You're not here with me,
When you look into my eyes,
You're not seeing me,
When you touch my lips.
You're not kissing me,
Your love's with her, I know,
You've hurt me so,
Oh, oh.

I want to forget as I'm able,
This love that's been so painful,
A love not real,  just a fable,
Nothing's left on the table,
Never stay, all about,
One foot in, one foot out.
Oh no, no, no, 
Oh no, no, no.

Oh, no, no, no (x20)

You're Not Seeing Me

Nostalgia

Lyrics

I said no
No
No
Not tonight
Under the flashing neon light
You reached for me
I turned away
Didn’t know what I’d feel someday

(Ooh-yeah!) I see it now
So clear
(Ooh-yeah!) I wish you were here


Nostalgia
No
No
No
I let you go
Go
Go
Wish I’d said yes
Yes
Yes
Now I’m left with this mess
Nostalgia
No
No
No
Why’d I say no
No
No?

You asked once
You asked twice
I gave you cold
Cold ice
The music played
The night was long
I never joined your favorite song

(Ooh-yeah!) Regret’s a heavy beat
(Ooh-yeah!) I’m stuck on repeat

Nostalgia
No
No
No
I let you go
Go
Go
Wish I’d said yes
Yes
Yes
Now I’m left with this mess
Nostalgia
No
No
No
Why’d I say no
No
No?

Heartfelt Tune
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath

Lyrics

I don’t want to,  
expose myself in a bad song.
So anyone who hears
Now knows my wrongs.

I don’t want to,
Expose myself on the radio,
Where everyone will smile
When I'm so low. 

I don’t want to,
expose myself through a heartfelt tune,
When anyone who hears,
Can mock my love sick views.

I don’t want to,
expose myself in a sad love song.
So anyone I'm near,
Can laugh at me all day long. .

I don't want to hear my ups and downs
When I'm in town,
Singing from lips of strangers,
Reminding me she’s not around.

No, no, (x5)

I don’t want to,  
expose myself where I lose,
It’s hard enough,
knowing she's the reason for this tune.

No, no, no, no  (x20)

Nostalgia 2

Lyrics

Back in the day
Oh
The songs would play (ooh-yeah!)
Lights would flash
We'd sway
We'd sway
Every beat
It held my heart
Spinning fast
A world apart

[Chorus]
Nostalgia
Oh
It calls my name
Nostalgia
Takes me back again
To the rhythm
To the glow
Where my heart learned to know
Nostalgia
Oh
Nostalgia

First love's touch
A melody (oh-oh!)
Every note
It set me free
Vinyl spins
The night would glow
Dreams were born in stereo

And the sound
It lingers still
A memory
A thrill
A thrill

Nostalgia
Oh
It calls my name
Nostalgia
Takes me back again
To the rhythm
To the glow
Where my heart learned to know
Nostalgia
Oh
Nostalgia

Time rewinds
In my mind
Oh
It's clear (so clear!)
Every song whispers love in my ear
Dancing
Laughing
The moments we made
Oh
Nostalgia
It will never fade

Nostalgia 2

This is a hybrid project combining both non-AI and AI covers. The track starts with analog, then AI is used to enhance, like using Splice.  Audio is midified and used with Ujam strings. Analog is later gated prior to fading.

Lyrics

What I write, 
I hope you like,
If not, I die, tonight,
Goodbye dreams,
Goodbye shticks,
Just die,
Go to bed, 
Die,
Goodbye career,
Goodbye wife,
Goodbye children,
It's time,
Go to bed,
Pull up the covers,
and die.

Leaving earth,
with my  pride,
Won't let its allures,
Stop my rise,
Goodbye looks,
Goodbye cars,
Goodbye friends,
Need to fly,
Story must end,
Goodbye,
Turn off life,
It's time,
Go to bed,
Pull up the covers,
and die.

Wake up,
Rain outside,
No, no,
Boxes left out,
No longer dry,
Oh, oh,

Prince no more,
What a bore.
Down the rabbit hole
We go,
Oh, oh,
Down the rabbit hole
We go,
Oh, oh, oh

Wake up,
Rain comes down,
No, no,
Art in the sand,
No longer grand,
Oh, oh.

Prince no more,
What a bore.
So it goes,
Down the rabbit hole,
Oh, oh, oh.
Down the rabbit hole
We go,
Oh, oh, oh

Prince No More

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.

This track is not available anymore.
