Lost In The Rain

Would You Ask Me (Original)

Give Myself, Mik Morley's independent solo debut, introduces the world to a soulful and enigmatic young artist. The brief 5 song collection is a first-class debut effort, offering both raw mood and catchy radio ready song crafting. 

"They're perfectly crafted modern rock songs with a meaningful lyrical mood, could easily fit into any radio play list in the country, a definite hit" Says Chartsong producer and Festival/Mushroom's published artist, Stuart Stuart (The Veronicas, Small Mercies).

Give Myself won't disappoint, with catchy radio ready songs as "Come So Far", and "Run Along" to atmospheric "Midnight Sky" and the heartfelt title track "Give Myself". From a lyrical perspective, Mik draws on Friendship, Life, and Loss through remarkable emotive presence for one so young.

Come So Far

All I Do

Run Along

Give Myself

Since the 2007 debut EP release, Give Myself, Mik Morley has established himself as one of Australia’s premier up and coming independent singer-songwriters. Following the success of the debut release, which has already drawn in masses of support from fans of all ages, Mik Morley launches a new chapter in his solo song writing career, with the release of his anticipated second studio release, Wanting More.

Wanting More is a change of direction, and a step forward for the young songwriter, containing a collection of powerful pop rock songs that are easy to relate to. Mimicking the popular themes of love, life, loss and regret, but delivering them in a positive and upbeat way. During the writing stages of Wanting More, Mik resisted the urge to maintain the moody and contemporary feel which he delivered with Give Myself, and went back to the basics of the song writing, delivering it in a powerful and energetic way for our generation.

“My first love of music was the classic rock from the 80’s” explains Mik, who was formally the guitarist for the rock band Lik-Wid for 7 years, before leaving to pursue his solo song writing career. “I have always wanted to maintain two simple elements in all my songs, melody and groove, what I’ve always loved about 80’s rock”.

Mik Morley may have more of a hard-rock background, but this isn’t that kind of music. It still reflects the parallels between energy and drive, to soul and mood, but this is music for everyone. His quickly building song writing success can be mainly attributed to his broad and ever-growing international fan based.

Throughout Mik’s song writing career to date, he has written songs that have picked up by Major US Labels to be used by top platinum selling artists, featured in independent and major feature films, television, commercials and international compilations. As well as being fortunate enough to work names such as ARIA Award Winning Matt Lovell (Silverchair, INXS, Sarah McLeod), Phil Hill (Grammy Nominated & Platinum Selling Artists, Spoon, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead, Yo-Yo Ma) and Stuart Stuart (The Veronicas, Small Mercies). “I don’t think I do anything special, but I have learned a lot from some amazing people and I am thankful for that” Mik exclaims.

Wanting More is one of those albums that you can just enjoy!
