Stranger

Stranger (Featuring Tristan Hurd

Verse:

Sugar, I don't want you no more. You're Just too sweet to me. Honey, I can't handle you, no. Cause when you come around things get too sticky. Sweetheart, stay away from me. You keep me up too damn late and god knows I need my sleep. Baby, I know this sounds cruel. But love takes too much time and I have too much to do.

Chorus:

I'm sorry if you didn't know, but please allow me to disclose. I just want to be alone.

Verse:

(Now listen) People say, life is better with two. My baby that is not a fact I intend to refute. But loneliness, it has it's perks. No one steals my covers at night and no one else wears my shirts.

Chorus:

I'm trying my best to explain that I'm afraid to be contained. I just want to be alone. Baby. I'm sorry if you didn't know, that I just gotta let you go. I just want to be alone. Baby.

Bridge:

I'm selfish, why can't you see that I only want to be in love with me? There's no way that I could change, I'll just keep on playing these games. So just go, just walk away and I'll do my best to hide all my shame. For another you'll fall and it's all my fault.

Outro:

Sugar, I don't want you no more. You're just too sweet for me.

Sugar

Written By Adam Berg & Mike Bauer

Chorus:

Wake up Sunday morning. You got me feeling so nice. Taking our time to start our day. Slow down Sunday morning. We gotta get it just right. See the birds and the bees, feel the beat, see the sweet sunshine.

Verse:

Open up your eyes to find your coffee cup filled, orange juice chilled, ready when you wake from your dream plain. You can make it better if you mix in some champagne. Anything you want will be alright. If you got the feel sexual healing. You can work the stick if you late me take the wheel, girl.

Chorus:

Wake up Sunday morning. You got me feeling so nice. Taking our time to start our day. Slow down Sunday morning. We gotta get it just right. See the birds and the bees, feel the beat in the sweet sunshine.

Verse:

Girl, come outside with me. We can take a drive to the beach. Roll up in the sand get a little out of hand, anything we want just to celebrate the weekend. Then, go on home, take it slow, take off all our clothes. Fall on back asleep, take a nap, then repeat, girl.

Chorus:

Sunday afternoon now. You got me feeling so nice. Taking our time the whole damn day. Sunday afternoon now, you got it going just right. See the breeze in the trees, feel the beat, in the sweet sunshine.

Bridge:

Watch the moon rising in the sky. Watch the blue fade to pinkish light. Purple hue makes the mood just right. Without you I can't do it. But with you we can groove to the music.

Chorus:

Now it's Sunday evening. We gotta it going just right. Watching the daylight fade away. Now it's Sunday evening. You got me feeling so nice. Feel my kiss in the sheets, feel the heat in the sweet moonlight.

Sweet Sunday. Sweet little Sunday. Sweet Sunday.

Sweet Sunday

By Mike Bauer & Jeff Lewis

Verse:

You can call me any name you'd like. Try to cut me with your words. Label me as the enemy. You will never learn. Your vision lacks any empathy. To you understanding is just a verb. Your mind exhibits insecurities. You will never learn.

Chorus:

Cast all the stones you find in your way. Break all the bones in me. Handcuff my arms and tie up my feet. My mind will still be free.

Verse 2.

Jealousy is a tricky thing. Common sense tends to blur. Look around all you see is green. You will never, oh, criticizing all the things that fall outside your narrow schemes and never ever ever question why. Don't apologize, just justify, you will never learn.

Chorus:

Bridge:
You can call me your names, say em' right to my face. Cause you know only fear, so you whisper in ears. Maybe one day you'll find that you wasted your time. Oh, you will never learn.

Chorus to Outro:
You'll never learn.

"Good Things"

Verse:

Love is felt in this place. It was not erased. Search for some solace and find there is grace. Just look around and you'll see that there is so many good things. Why, try to deny that where we reside could be so lovely if we just decide? Put down your pride and your vanity please, show me your good things.

Pre-Chorus:

Now there are times when all that you want to do is sit home alone feeling lonely and blue. That's when you have to say (gimme more). 

Chorus:

I want the ups. I want the downs. Don't care if I'm poor I will still wear a crown. So what if I win? So what if I lose? I'll find my way back to the good things.

Verse:

Now, I can relate. I've been to that place. Where I had lost more than I ever gained. Try with my might I swear I could not see any more good things. Then, I disengaged. Pushed people away. Blamed everyone for all of my mistakes. And in my shame I forgot I could be so many good things. 

Pre-Chorus:

Cause there were times when all that I felt I could do was sit by myself feeling lonely and blue. Until something in me said (gimme more). 

Chorus (Repeats)

Bridge:

And I know life can be so confusing, but in the end we can find our way back to the start. Never thought I'd lose all this feeling. Now I'm searching for a light at the end of the dark. We'll find our way back to that special place where there are good things. (Please gimme more)

Chorus (Repeats x 2)

Outro:

Just look around and you'll see that there is so many good things.

Good Things (Featuring Jada Banks-Mace)

Written By: Mike Bauer

Verse 1:

I made my share of mistakes and I lost you babe. Didn't do the dishes right or follow through on anything. But... now I see the kind of man that you need. He don't flirt and he's self-assured, well maybe that man can still be me...

Chorus:

Is it too late? Have I lost your faith? I didn't learn any lessons, please my forgive my indiscretions.

Verse 2:

The second verse is the same as the first. With more promises to change, but you don't believe me... Do you?
Well that's good for you, cause I don't believe me too. So I won't waste no more of your time. I hope you find that better life.

Chorus:

Cause now it's too late. I have lost your faith. I didn't learn any lessons, you won't forgive my indiscretions. Now it is too damn late, I have lost your faith. So I won't waste no more of your time. I hope you find that better life.

Bridge:

Oh how I tried to rise to your heights, but baby I fall. 
I used to be the one you would need, the one you would call. 
My stupid lies, my wandering eye; made a good woman torn. Now I'm all alone. 
I'm all alone...

Outro:

Cause now it's too late. I've lost your faith. Didn't learn any lessons, you won't forgive my indiscretions. Now it's too damn late. I've lost all your faith. Didn't learn any lessons, you won't forgive my indiscretions.

"Window Watching"

Written by Mike Bauer, Daniel Konscious Krieger, & Adam Berg
Horn Arrangement by Cody Dear & Tristan Hurd

Verse 1:

Well, I've finally came of age. I took off all my costumes and I put away my red cape. Learned to suppress all my childhood dreams, cause people think it's funny when a grown man loves to sing. And I threw away my comic book tees. Now I only put on collared shirts with buttons on my sleeves. And I make sure my ties match my feet. Learned to rock a Windsor with a tie bar and a three piece, but I wanna be...

Chorus:

I wanna be somewhere where the grass is green and the birdies sing. Some little place outside of these concrete streets, climbing mountain peaks. Maybe I'll take a walk to discover things, wander aimlessly. Jump on in just to swim in the ocean blue, with nothing to do.

Verse 2:

Now tell me how did I find myself here? Under these florescent lights with walls that hold all my fears. Is there a way that a man can break free? Free from all this debt incurred pursuing this American scheme.

You don't have to buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. Superficiality won't help you with your broken self esteem. Find out what you love, love, love. When you find it, don't you hide it follow your own path and love who you wanna be.

Chorus:
Someday you'll be somewhere where the grass is green and the birdies sing. Some little place outside of these concrete streets, climbing mountain peaks. Maybe you'll take a walk to discover things, wander aimlessly. Jump on in just to swim in the ocean blue, with nothing to do.

Chorus:
So come fly with me to a place where the grass is green and the birdies sing. Some little place outside of these concrete streets, climbing mountain peaks. Maybe we'll take a walk to discover things, wander aimlessly. Jump on in just to swim in the ocean blue, where we'll finally break through.

"WILD"
Written by Mike Bauer, Adam Berg, and Joel Van Dijk

Verse 1:

Wild is the language she speaks. Tame, she will never be. She's got a - Gypsy soul that's dancing in the street. She's a chemical, wrapped in a different shade of ink. You gotta love her as she is or you just best leave her be.

Pre-Chorus:

So pretty with the poison on her lips. Be careful how you navigate her hips. Hold her without touch. She only loves what the world has forgot.

Chorus:

Staring at the girl with them tattoos. Broken up and scarred with some bad moves. She's always been a queen. She don't need a king for anything. Staring at the girl with them tattoos. Her back against the wall until her knuckles bruise. If you love her let her be, wicked, wild, and free.

Verse 2:

A beautiful mess, she is. Chaos with a confidence. A whiskey-sippin' skinny-dippin' smile, wild. She's got fire in her veins. She will shatter every cage, in the blink of an eye. 

Pre-Chorus:

So pretty with the poison on her lips. Be careful when you navigate her hips. Hold her without touch. She only loves what the world has forgot. 

Chorus (Repeat)

Bridge:

If you love her leave her be.

Wild

Verse:

Sitting on the sideline. Watching the pretenders play your game. You don't wanna know why... You don't want the same old, same old thing. 

Pre-Chorus:

Don't look back, don't look down, take a breath, make a sound, baby please. 
Don't you wait too long cause the feelin' strong so take a little trip with me.

Chorus:

What if you were free, could I make you mine? Pretty baby your eyes smile through your sighs. Tell me what you need if you desire words or affection, actions or attention. Sliding doors can open on the left or right. Pretty baby the world is what you decide. Take a chance, let's take it for a test drive, pretty baby.

Verse 2:

Hoping for a headline. Nobody but me really knows your name. But, you were born to fly high, baby. You don't deserve the same old, same old thing. 

Pre-Chorus

Don't look back, don't look down, take a breath, make a sound, baby please. 
Don't you wait too long cause the feelin' strong so take a little trip with me.

Chorus:

What if you were free, could I make you mine? Pretty baby your eyes smile through your sighs. Tell me what you need if you desire words or affection, actions or attention. Sliding doors can open on the left or right. Pretty baby the world is what you decide. Take a chance, let's take it for a test drive, pretty baby.

Slowly and steadily, Mike Bauer has been releasing well crafted songs and music videos for the last six years. Releasing his first EP while still in law school, he continues to grow and shape his sound.

Recently working and writing with the incredibly talented producer, Berg (The Decoders, Maejor), he has a genre-bending style that is all his own. Occasionally co-writing with the legendary Richard Rudolph, whose credits include Minnie Riperton, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Stevie Wonder, has only refined that style. So far, 2018 has brought the release of several new singles, including the haunting "I Am Her"; a collaboration with DNTST on the single "Stranger"; and, the soulful "The Truth About Happiness," which yielded a 2018 Hollywood Music and Media nomination for Best R&B/Soul/Funk. 

Noted for his distinctive voice and versatile writing, in 2014 he received the Hollywood Music and Media Award for Best Male Vocal Performance, and the Akademia Music Awards named “Sugar” the Best R&B Song of 2015. Additionally, Music Connection Magazine named him and his band one of their “Hot 100 Live Performers.”
