Crossroads

I Need You" is a heartfelt indie love song that captures the raw emotions of longing, devotion, and vulnerability in a relationship. With its dreamy melodies, soft instrumentals, and soul-stirring lyrics, the song paints a picture of deep affection and the irreplaceable presence of a loved one. The intimate vocals convey a sense of urgency and sincerity, making every word feel personal and deeply resonant. Whether it's the gentle strumming of an acoustic guitar, ethereal synths, or a warm piano arrangement, the soundscape creates a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere. "I Need You" is a perfect anthem for those moments when love feels like both a sanctuary and a necessity, speaking directly to the heart with its emotional depth and indie charm.

Wonderwall

Haven’t been on the cloud much lately. Been travelling across the southern Australian coastline, to the beautiful and remote Kangaroo Island. Its beauty seemed strangely juxtaposed to the horrors going on elsewhere.

We took part in a dinner dance for a Lao-Viet-Thaï-Hmong 
“Catholic Group of Friends” on April 05, 2025.

It's been 7 years (2018) since we played live. We usually play in threes... 
On this particular evening, there were only two of us,
and a guitarist was missing. Except that we weren't no longer used 
to playing continuously...
In fact we hadn't rehearsed much. We'd just fine-tuned our repertoire,
so there were bound to be a few slip-ups... you'll see. 😊

/в небе нет сомнений - и не каждый полёт нуждается в карте/
I will make a paper airplane
and send it to you
along the route of a migratory bird
from the sea - point A - to your point B

white origami sheets
folded into
sharp corners
so as not to get lost in the clouds
and checkered sheets - so as not to get wet..

the maps lied to us with a dotted line
if we listened to their lies -
then we would fold our wings and fall
thinking that we will not find the truth..

where the airfield does not accept
a paper airplane will fly
and its radars will not catch
all the dashing air defense - take off!..

....
I will make a paper airplane
and send it to you
along the route of a migratory bird
from the sea - point A - to your point B

***

сделаю бумажный самолётик
и пускай он полетит к тебе
по маршруту птицы перелётной 
с моря — пункта А  - в твой Б

оригами белые страницы
сложные и 
острые углы 
чтобы в облаках не заблудиться
и не мокли в клеточку листы..

карты нам пунктирами наврали
если бы мы слушали их ложь -
то сложили крылья и упали
думая что правды не найдёшь..

где аэродром не принимает
долетит бумажный самолётик
и его радары не поймают
все лихие ПВО —  в пролёте!..

....
сделаю бумажный самолётик
и пускай он полетит к тебе
по маршруту птицы перелётной 
с моря — пункта А  - в твой Б

to you

Evolution 2

"Bada Bing" is a punchy retro-pop confessional with a wink of vintage glam and a lot of attitude. With a driving beat, minimalist swing-inspired rhythm, and flirty storytelling, Kitty Carmichael spins a wild night into a sassy morning-after anthem. Packed with swagger, humor, and charm — it's the soundtrack for bad decisions you don’t regret (too much).

My EP SUPERNOVA contains two Japanese songs, and this is one of them. I have never released a song in Japanese before, but I took the plunge and decided to release these. It's a song recorded in one take with my acoustic guitar and vocal. The tempo is middle tempo (I didn't use the metronome function so I don't know the BPM). 3m58s. The main genre is Folk. This is a gentle and slightly blue song. Link to major platforms : https://linkco.re/E2aRhZS6

Lyrics : (Alright)

悲しい湖を通り過ぎ
僕は明日へと辿り着く
もし僕が人生を捨てたなら
あなたは三度笑うでしょう

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

見知らぬ人に笑われて
僕は明日から戻るでしょう
僕の果てなき探究は
きっとあなたへと帰ってゆく

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

涙を見たくて
涙を流したくてOh
僕は僕は
きっと戻るね

悲しい湖を通り過ぎ
僕は明日へと辿り着く
もし僕が人生を捨てたなら
あなたは三度笑うでしょう

Let forever be

FOREVER BE

New Song here, finally.  A slower version than what I'd like.  Hope you enjoy it.

Kitty Carmichael – Strings
An emotional indie track about conditional love and the pain of being used, Strings explores what happens when kindness has a price. When the strings are cut, the silence speaks volumes. Written by Melinda Klotz Mercer. Published by Argyll Music.

Does mystical materialism exist? Is it a trend or a concept yet to be explored? Are new products being created under this label? We don't know anything about it here, but we've imagined that such a thing might eventually exist, though we don't know if it's for better or worse.

Approaching Mystical Materialism

Mobile Nights was sparked by a weekly songwriting challenge from the American Songwriter Association: “Write about a love you’re glad didn’t work out.”
Duke Campbell turns that idea into a Gulf Coast anthem—neon lights glowing in a late-night Mobile bar, bay breezes rolling in, and the relief of walking away from the wrong love.
Gritty, soulful, and whiskey-tinged, this country-rock track blends honky-tonk swagger with a modern Nashville polish.

"When I Grow Up" is a heartfelt country ballad produced by Spirit Sound and written by Melinda Klotz Mercer. The song takes listeners on a journey through life’s seasons — from innocent childhood dreams to teenage hopes, into the working years of love, family, and faith, and finally into the peaceful reflections of retirement.

Blending country storytelling with contemporary Christian inspiration, this track reminds us that growing up isn’t just about age — it’s about holding on to hope, leaning on God, and finding joy in every chapter. With simple, honest lyrics and warm melodies, When I Grow Up speaks to anyone who has ever wondered what it truly means to live a life of purpose.

Gimme feat. Patricia Edwards-Papploviante

Wrote this song this morning and just finished recording it this afternoon. A song about fading life as we all get older. 

Leaves fall They don't ask why 
Golden whispers from the sky 
Dancing slow They kiss the ground 
No one hears They make no sound  

Leaves fall Leaves fall 
From the tallest trees so tall 
One by one They heed the call 
Leaves fall Leaves fall  

The wind it hums a quiet tune 
Under the sun Under the moon 
A secret story Old and frail 
Carried softly on the gale  

And do they dream Before they land 
Or do they fade From branch to sand  

Leaves fall Leaves fall 
From the tallest trees so tall 
One by one They heed the call 
Leaves fall Leaves fall  

A tapestry of amber hues No map to follow Nothing to lose They let go without regret A lesson taught We can't forget

 But it seems like right now your thoughts is tossed

 And I hope you receive it Man, you forgot what love is 
 To all the females out there Yeah, you forgot what love is

FORGOT WHAT LOVE IS. 🌺.🎧. Feat HEMANIFETZ

Cold air creeping in
Breath like smoke it spins
Whispers linger thin
The moon hides its grin

Shadows embrace the night
Hold me close
Hold me tight
Lost in the pale moonlight
Shadows embrace the night

Branches scratch the sky
Stars blink then say goodbye
The silence starts to cry
A ghostly lullaby

Fingers trace the unseen
Chilled and sharp
Serene

Shadows embrace the night
Hold me close
Hold me tight
Lost in the pale moonlight
Shadows embrace the night

Dancing with the dark
Flames flicker
Then depart
My heart beats a question mark
Where does the light embark

Shadows embrace the night .mp3

I had these two little blues pieces – in E and C – and an arrangement for When I’m 64, and they seemed to fit, and voila! The whole piece runs for 100 bars, but subtracting the repeated two blues sections the piece adds up to 64 bars. I swear this was an accident!

Credits: When I’m Sixty Four by John Lennon & Paul McCartney, 1967. (McCartney wrote the song.)

Still Loving Me” (Alternative Rock Version) is a bold, guitar-driven anthem of faith and grace. With high energy and raw emotion, it tells the story of being broken but not abandoned. God’s love remains steady, even when we feel lost or unworthy. This track is a powerful declaration of healing and transformation for fans of uplifting, edgy Christian music.

Still Loving Me

Here's my version of this classic Irish ballad. Mclhatton was an old fiddler who knew how to make an excellent Poitin, the ancestor of whiskey. When the valley where he lived filled with buyers of his fine liquor, many tried to capture him, but he knew how to hide well and was never caught. Enjoy my track and share! CIAO

Ce soir-là ma chère
Vos yeux d'un bleu si clair
Votre sourire fugitif
M’ont fait un mal de chien


Tout à coup devant moi
J’ai vu ce vide immense
Que laisse votre absence
Dans mon inassou-vie


Tant d'années de recherches
Pour en arriver là
Tant d'années dépassées
Qui n'attendent que moi


Comme une vague tu avances
Tu ondules tu balances
Et je crains ta puissance
Et je hais ta violence


Ballotté par tes humeurs
Comme à ma dernière heure
Il n’me reste qu'à prier 
Vais-je encore m’échouer ?


Tant d'années de recherche
Pour en arriver là
Tant d'années dépassées
Et qui n'existent pas


Et enfin cette idée
Qui s'impose à moi
Tu es tu as
Tout ce qu'il me manque


Ce soir-là ma chère 
Vos yeux d'un bleu si clair
Votre sourire fugitif 
M’ont fait un mal de chien
 
M’ont fait un mal de chien

Can't Get Out

I like Soundcloud because it's a friendly community for sharing our music. When I comment on a track, I like to say something about how you wrote, performed or produced it. I have musically diverse interests: pop/rock, jazz-rock fusion, prog & alternative rock, blues, classical and neoclassical, to mention some. Main instrument is guitar; I'm not a keyboard player or singer, but hopefully I can do enough there to make my work sound ok.
