You've Left Memories

Years ago, I started writing a science ficition story where once a year the government would allow crazy people to stop taking the pill that kept them normal and then go out on a date. It was an social experiment to see if the pill was absolutely necessary to lead a normal life.  In my mind, the experiment was doomed to failure. I never finished the story, opting to write this song instead.  This is a revised version.

Rain on My Window

Lyrics:

I see the rain on my window,
dropping down into the drain,
The pill I take helps me to like it,
and I watch it again and again.

But once a year the pill is forgotten,
and they let me see the world anew,
and have a date with a woman that will be like me,
that is, she'll be pill-less, too.

And they'll take us to a wooden table,
where she'll sit across with a rose between,
But before we talk, she'll want to go to the bathroom,
and I'll laugh and cry and make a scene.

And I'll see the rain on the window,
dropping down into the drain,
And when the waiter comes to take our order,
I'll ask for something to be normal again.

I see the rain on my window,
dropping down into the drain,
The pill I take helps me to like it,
and I watch it again and again.

Rain on My Window

I revised this song to make it a little more contemporary.  Last year, I discovered my poetry from High School in a box in the garage, and I decided to write a song to one of them.  The others will take some time since they really go off in all directions.

The Silent Fog

Lyrics

The silent fog,
Lifted its head,
And in its place,
Stood a girl,
With a smile,
A girlish smile,
And she vanished.

Oh oh oh,
Girl of grace,
With pretty face,
Oh oh oh,
And I love her.

The silent fog,
Lifted its face,
And in its place,
Stood a woman,
Not the girl,
But the woman I love.

Oh oh oh,
woman I loved,
From long ago,
Oh oh oh,
And I still love her.

And we laughed and we cried,
And we laughed and cried,
And laughed and cried,
And laughed and cried,
And laughed and cried,
And laughed and cried,
'Til one of us
Finally died.

Oh oh oh,
Woman I loved,
First to go,
Oh oh oh,
And I still love her.

The Silent Fog

When Russia invaded Ukraine, the first photo I saw was that of a pregnant woman who was killed by shelling.  The photo haunted me. Here was a woman ready to give birth, probably excited to have another baby or maybe even her first, and free to deliver the day before, but now, that freedom mercilessly taken away.  I wrote these lyrics to work through how I would have felt if my wife had died, and how the fight to obtain the lost freedom would feel without her no longer by my side.

Why in Our Generation?
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

artificially enhanced using SUNO

Lyrics

You know, I didn’t say goodbye,
I didn’t think you’d be gone,
I didn’t think you’d die,
Before bringing our baby home.
Your building was in shambles,
And I couldn’t make it through,
But I knew I was already too late,
When I saw you on the news.

Since then it’s been hard
to keep freedom in my view.

Freedom comes, Freedom goes,
In my grief, it’s tough you know,
I feel I’m losing the battle to make it so,
Freedom comes, freedom goes
In every generation, it seems so,
But why was it in ours I had to let you go?

I’ve seen a march to victory
by a courageous few,
Courageous to die,
for what is true,
Holding their banner above their heads,
High in vivid hues,
To bring back our freedom,
To bring it back anew.

But I don’t care,
Not with you in my view.

Freedom comes, Freedom goes,
In my grief, it’s tough you know,
I feel I’m losing the battle to make it so,
Freedom comes, freedom goes
In every generation, it seems so,
But why was it in ours I had to let you go?

Why Was It in Ours?

Another redo of my songs.  When I'm finished with this new exploration, time to go back to grind of composing on my keyboard. 

Just Want to Rest This Head
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath

artificially enhanced using SUNO

Lyrics

I’m tired of waking up to read,
About people who used to be,
Who I grew up with 
you see,
And now have started their eternity.
People who’ve made their history,
As brief as that could be.

Here’s to the woman who gave me a chance
To see the beauty of this life's dance.
But now is only a memory,
Of what life was and still should be. 

I see them walking in the street,
The young making their new ends meet,
I once was there, but am still,
Watching it all through our window sill. 

What life was is no longer a thrill,
No longer a thrill.

I’m tired
And just want to rest this head,
Find a place to rest this head 
There’s not much left that can be said,
The light is dimming,
Time to leave. 
And I just want to sleep. 
Just rest my head.

Just Want to Rest This Head

You've Left Memories
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath
artwork: hotpot.ai/art-generator
artificially enhanced using SUNO

Lyrics

You've left memories,
Sad, unforgotten memories,
Pitiless, unforgivable diseases,
Common colds, crazy diseases,
In the world I stand,
It's mine, let me stand.
Apathy, grief, happy places,
All that was mine, faces,
Beauteous, memorable faces,
Shaken from hot coals, winters come,
Snow falls, dust collects, winters come,
The flowers bloom, life is dim, waiting,
Sweat, grime, dirt, pestilence, waiting,
Up from the grave, crowds crying, laughing,
Letters, books, poems, madness, laughing...

This was my absurd life!

Forget it!

Wrote and played this song for my twin daughters when they were just learning to dance. Here is the Cajun version.

Wiggle Dance Étouffée
Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath
artificially enhanced using SUNO

Lyrics

See the shy girl,
Who’s never danced before,
Take her sister’s hand
And wiggle out on the floor,
They do the wiggle dance,
All around the room,
And they keep on wiggling,
In the light of the moon.

See the shy boy,
Who’s never danced before,
Take his brother’s hand
And wiggle out on the floor,
They do the wiggle dance,
all around the room,
Until they trip over these girls,
And not a moment too soon.

See these shy kids,
Who’ve never danced before,
Pick each other up,
And wiggle around the floor,
They do the wiggle dance
Like it’s never been done,
And they keep on wiggling,
Until the light of the sun.

(Unsung) Chorus

Wiggle wiggle wiggle
Wiggle wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Do the wiggle dance,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
Do the wiggle dance.

LYRICS & VOCAL by J.J. Terrell

Really fabulous, awesome songwriting from Beck here. I feel very grateful and honoured to get to play music with her and contribute to her wonderful song! The inspiration for the lyrics came from her vision of what the song means to her. With as big of a heart she has, I found it very easy to convey the feeling of home/lovesickness. Thank you for listening and hope you enjoy!!

LYRICS by J.J.
Now the sun’s setting low, painting the sky
The closer I get, I can’t help but sigh
All the pain fades with every mile
Soon, I’ll be home to your loving smile

The porch light’s on, I see you there
Waiting with a heart, so full, so rare
You’re my song, my heartbeat’s tune
Rolling home, I’ll be there soon

Rolling home, through the thunder and rain
Each mile a memory, each turn brings the pain
I’m counting the hours,
Til I hold you tight
Rolling home
Back to your light

Lyrics: 

I wrapped myself in self-pity
Heard a heavy ringing bell
Didn't think I could be unwrapped
Hidden walls that never fell..

So many layers of emotions
I knew I had to start
And when the first layer was removed
The rest began to fall apart..

Unwrap-app-ing  myself
Unwrap-app-ing myself

Now my soul is almost open
All the layers taken off
But I have left some walls
In case I don't have enough...

A new story will be written
New layers will come
But with an unwrapped soul
I can wrap myself with love...

Unwrap-app-ing myself
Unwrap-app-ing myself

Unwrap -app-Ing Myself  (Original)

Lyrics:
L’aube aux cheveux fous est lointaine encore.
Le plaisir est une île perdue sous les étoiles.
Allez, viens le vent est bon, mettons les voiles
Vers la douce volupté qui appelle nos corps

Ma crinière  danse sous le vent chaud et salé.
Mes yeux de louve brillent comme de l’ambre, 
Dans ce désir brulant où tes mains me cambrent.
Reine des flots, te laisserais-je me dompter ?

Attirée par ta lumière dorée comme la phalène.
Dans la soie légère et tendre de tes caresses,
Tu me guides avec une infinie tendresse.
Mais bientôt, tu m’attaches à ton mât de misaine.

Chorus :
Sois ma corsaire, je serai ta pirate
Drapeau noir, voiles écarlates
Aimons-nous sur les flots songeurs,
Dans la nuit tiède et ses douces langueurs.

Mon univers se résout à l’arc de tes cuisses
Souples et douces, qui ondulent lentement.
Et nos corps fluides et nus  abolissent le temps
Dans un mélange de feu, de sueur et d’épices.

L’océan chuchote contre la coque du voilier
Je bois ton souffle court au parfum de réglisse.
Tes doigts me dessine, tes lèvres m’engloutissent.
Je suis ta prisonnière, rebelle et émerveillée. 

Allongées nues sous la nuit et l’œil de la lune
Nous regardons planer les vampires et les fées
Dans la musique soyeuse de nos cris étouffés
Nous voguons paresseusement sur la lagune.

Chorus :
Sois ma corsaire, je serai ta pirate
Drapeau noir, voiles écarlates
Aimons-nous sur les flots songeurs,
Dans la nuit tiède et ses douces langueurs.

I like to wine & dine you in the best
Restaurants Mitchell star
It’s Gregg’s or Maccies on the bus cause this man he don’t own a car
(It really doesn’t matter because I getting the best of both )
It really doesn’t matter boys because we are all getting daily oats )
In the morning it’s salmon with poached eggs on french one sided posh toast
It’s a strong brew & cornflakes & another notch on the bedpost

If only we could make up our minds
If only this was a sign of the times
In this three point love affair x2

I can’t share you anymore with this caveman neanderthal
Hey pretty boy it’s not all about you you don’t have a clue

Good night Neanderthal I hope you have the worst nightmares
Look pretty boy just remember I’m the other side of our share

3 Point Love Affair

down to ground/Nova J

[Verse 1]
You said love would lift us high
But the air got thin up in the sky
Now I’m standin’ here, both feet down
Tryin’ to breathe on solid ground
Guess I thought I had it all figured out
Now I’m older, just full of doubt

[Chorus]
So I come back down to ground
Where the noise don’t drown me out
All the dreams I built came crashin’ down
So I’m learnin’ to live without
Every time I start to climb
Something pulls me back around
Yeah, I come back down to ground

[Verse 2]
I’ve been bettin’ on a bad hand
Thinkin’ love’s what makes a man
Now I’m countin’ what I’ve lost
And I can’t pay off the cost
Never thought I’d break again
But the house don’t let you win

[Chorus]
So I come back down to ground
Where the quiet feels like truth.
Guess I flew too far too soon
Now I’m hummin’ the crash-land blues
Every time I think I’ve found
Heaven hangin’ in the clouds
I come back down to ground

[Bridge]
How do you choose who to love
When every time it ends in flames
And why’s my heart so stubborn 
I keep losing at the game

[Final Chorus]
So I come back down to ground
With my ego banged around
Maybe fallin’s just a way
To see things here and now
I was racin’ for the sky
But it’s time to slow things down
Yeah, I come back down to ground

down to ground

Another song 50 years in the making.  The Dutch rock group "Focus" wrote an instrumental named "Sylvia" around 1974.  Sylvia was clearly album filler, but I loved the melody, and wrote lyric for it shortly after I heard it.  Paul Newett took the lyric without hearing the instrumental, and wrote new melodies and instrumental.  It was not impressive to musicians, but I "covered" the song in Suno.ai, and I'm very pleased with the result.  There is no trace of the original instrumental left in the song. 

Sylvia

I was going to write a song about a political figure, I won't say the but name I'll use his initials: 
🍊💩🤡.  But i decided he takes up too much space in my brain, and in the world consciousness,  as it is. Withholding people's food as a bargaining tool to take away their healthcare, is just another typical day here in the usa. Anyway, instead I made it  into a breakup song. kind of. I kept the original title
(Rerecorded the vocals and fixed some of the more glaring issues, and it is much easier to listen to now)

In case you forgot, 
Our house is still burning, 
You set it on fire and then you moved on
To the new home you’re wrecking

You think you've won 
Not because you’ve got everything 
But because you’ve got everything that i love
And now I'm easily forgotten

And That's the cruelest thing of all, 
You no longer see me here
And As i need and i bleed and i hurt and i grieve,
And everybody else thinks you're a knight on a steed

But me, I'm not mesmerized
I see right through your disguise
I see how little could you care
I see it all so clear

Do you remember 
the first thing you were taught when you were young
Did they show you how to care, show you how to share
And follow The golden rule

But you turned in to this
someone that doesn’t know what’s right from what is wrong
someone that only causes harm that only leaves you scarred
And suffers no consequence 

But that’s the strangest thing of all
they think you're some kind of hero
And that’s the strangest thing of all
While I'm standing in ashes of that mess you caused

Una notte per me.mp3

A worship anthem declaring that even when we can’t see the road ahead, He is still making a way. Rooted in Psalm 37:7–9, this powerful and uplifting praise song reminds us to trust, pray, and move when God says go.

The Way

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.
