Great song Mike, so the moral of the story is live today and drink as much beer as you can, while you can and never loan out money  just give it because 9 times out of 10 you never get it back, really brilliant lyrics very touching . JOhnny

You’re a real story teller Mike. After listening to many of your songs over the last year-seems clear to me you’ve lived an interesting life. 

Wow powerful lyrics which is always the force  in a tune. Great piece 👍

And Now Never Will
Lyrics and Music by Mike Krath

Remember those times
we sat by the Nile,
Watching the setting sun,
Knowing by the time the stars had come out,
We had tackled deep things and such,
And we sat drinking Egyptian beer,
Until we couldn’t feel our skin. 
And  we always said that if we had time,
we’d do it all over again. 

And now here you are,
In a wheelchair,
Dribbling,
And barely able to move your lips,
And those times we had,
You’ve forgotten. 
You can’t even remember what you did this morning,
Much less your name,
And you still me money
From the beer you drunk. 
All that money I loaned you
For all that beer,
The money you never paid back,
And now never will. 

We thought those times would never end. 
Well now I’m afraid it has my friend.

And Now Never Will

War Ready (Prod. by Barrio)

This track is a collaboration with Synline (Tokyo) on.soundcloud.com/bzQWw

Synline shares ... I thought this song would be suitable for the opening of the album. When I asked SeaShea for guitar, he not only contributed his usual electric guitar but also created some tracks with synthesizers. The song, initially incomplete, reached its completion through his efforts. Collaboration has been a fulfilling experience.

Dedicating my piano part in this song to my Dad who lives in Tennessee in The Smoky Mountains. Hell, I guess I'll dedicate my part to his best friend Ronnie too. 
I only play a small part in this song which is the piano, but I will tell you that the folks I'm playing with are really great people and a lot of fun jamming with. 

Cast of Characters:

mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Lead and harmony vocals, synth guitar intro, auxiliary percussion, mix, arrangement, and production
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, banjo, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – mix and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and vocal harmonies
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, mandolin, and lap steel
This song began when Josh asked the rest of the guys if they'd be willing to put together a couple of songs for his father as a Christmas present. His dad is from West Virginia, and Josh was born there, too. The original version featured Josh's son, Marshall, singing the lead with him, and hearing his grandson sing a song about West Virginia really meant a lot to elder Clary. Of course, everyone was enthusiastically generous in giving their time, effort, and skill to Josh's family for the holiday. This song also has special meaning for JJ and Ken in relation to their fathers, as well. JJ's dad has had a rough year with his health. He also is a musician who inspired and encouraged JJ to play music. His dad also likes this song, so it was fun for him to present it to him, as well. Ken, who's father never really supported his decision to be a rock-and-roller, loves this version of the song we did, and made Ken know how proud of him he is in regard to it, which really meant a lot to Ken, too. Another cool connection Ken has to this song is that whilest attending elementary school, he was in the same school choral cohort with the Maria Carey. He actually sang this song with her when they were kids. Also, we feel like we should acknowledge Artur's dog, even though Artur isn't in on this one, his dog loves country music and responded enthusiastically to this one.
  The story of the song itself is a little convoluted. After Josh asked for everyone's help, Ken laid down a rudimentary beat, to which Josh started the tonal part with the bass. Stephen added the guitar and banjo soon after, and Josh added the mandolin shortly after that. JJ inserted his piano around this time, too. We pretty much had it working enough for Josh and his son to sing it for his dad. Tez mixed that version perfectly suited to the occasion. 
  After presenting Josh's dad with the present, it sat for about a month, until we asked Mark if he'd get in on it, too. Mark not only sang it better the JD, but also arranged it so there is an instrumental break now. He also added the guitar lick at the very beginning. Ken took the opportunity of having Mark's great vocals to sing against to add his cunning harmonies. Then Mark, being the perfectionist that he is, noticed that the slide part was missing from the second verse. So, Josh added it. Mark also mixed this version, with Stephen doing some mastering at the end. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting this personally meaningful piece together.

Vocals & lyrics : Janne Hennie

I'm trying to read you, to find out
What I should do
But all traces are so well hidden
So I don't have a clue..
I'm searching high, searching low
It's impossible to find
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Or what's on your mind...

Give me a sign, we don't have much time
I don't know where to look
So give me a sign..

I'm trying to ask you: Can we talk?
But you have nothing to say
You don't want to open up
Or meet me halfway..
Giving you time, so you can find out
If you have something for me
But you are still just as closed
As you always tend to be..

Give me a sign, we don't have much time
I don't know where to look
So give me a sign..

Give me a sign, we don't have much time
I don't know where to look
So give me a sign..

I'm out of time, enough is enough
Won't waste more time on you
If you are not willing to talk
I know what I have to do..
Before I go i just have one more thing to say
You should really start to talk
Cause I will walk away..

Give me a sign, we're out of time
I don't know where to look
So give me a sign..

Give Me A Sign W/ Janne Hennie

Thank you for always listening.
sorry. Vocal version will be deleted

Destiny Is Mine（instrumental）

Steep the world in turmoil
Not one eye will notice
It's all at stake in an escapade
By the hopelessly devoted
Find yourself redeeming Seeming
Sinking in the sand
Find your face beating red
Play the marching band
Play the marching band

Celebrate
Your dignified arguments lament
Cemented in your ignorance
You fail to comprehend

I will not be one of them 
Sheep in your field
I graze alone
Living days of hope

I see your due diligence
Oppress and keep us down
Fucking clowns defy my spite
Your walls come crashing down
I cant say a choice I make
Will lead me to a goal
But i fucking know a choice I make
Is a choice I make alone

I keep preaching finding minds
You plan my demise
Fighting through dishonesty
I live amongst your lies
I can finally see
You did all of this
The blood and the ignorance
The micromanaged populous.

I Graze Alone

No Need to Care [DEMO]

Burning Circles

I'm a keyboardist with a love for layering sounds to create ambient, ethereal atmospheres and composing simple piano pieces to embellish. I love all genres of music, and find myself composing different types depending on my mood of the day.

I’ve never had formal training. As a teen, my parents wouldn’t let a piano in our house in Egypt, so I studied piece-meal at friends’ homes. When I got to college, I learned by going to university piano practice rooms. In my 40’s, I met my birth-mom who turned out to be a child prodigy, winning a Van Cliburn competition by playing Rachmaninoff at age 11. Most of what I play today, I learned from the techniques she taught me. 

I’m an American who has lived abroad for a good part of my life in Egypt, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Taiwan, and now back to Texas.
