Lyrics
I hate to admit it but I miss your face
I hate to admit that I made a mistake
Ours is a life of thunder and rain
The sun breaks out and then it's clouds
again

All is ask is that you follow
All is ask is that you follow
All is ask is that you follow
Me over the cliff

From up here I see for miles
From up here I love the view
From up here my vision's clearest
I paint my sadness over you

I know my gift is just to hurt you
One of many things I've said
And while I know you lose your way
I'm the one to lose his head

All is ask is that you follow
All is ask is that you follow
All is ask is that you follow
Me over the cliff

If I can't have it then you neither can you
What was a lie has become our truth
I see you die a little more each day
I feel like crying when I see your face

All is ask is that you follow
All is ask is that you follow
All is ask is that you follow
Me over the cliff

The Prayer

Take off on a soul-lifting acapella journey as "The Wellerman" sets sail in this fresh, emotive interpretation. The voices rise and fall like the tides, washing over in warm strokes of country twang and intimacy, similar to fireside folk tales. It is more than a song; it is an experience that tugs at your heart, bringing rich history to the present for the millennial seafaring adventurer.

Each verse of Billy O'Tea's story lets forth a wave of raw emotional tone—all that makes up for the sailor's soul, their hopes, the relentless spirit, and the grandeur of the untamed. But much more than words of lyric and melody, our rendition weaves a tapestry of human connection: the shared longing to have the sweet victory of return and an ever-renewing dance with nature's might.

Every harmonic convergence brings that crew's camaraderie, the sea's salt-grit challenge, and the sweet longing for the bounty of the Wellerman. May your spirit be the ship and our voices the winds that carry you through that epic tale Reborn in the heart of song.

The Wellerman

IN OLD CAFE

Old John

In the midst of this asphalt jungle we roam
Searching for solace, somewhere to call home
Through the highs and lows, the laughter and tears
We've found strength in each other, throughout the years

We've shared stories and songs around the fire's glow
Raised our glasses high, toasting to the unknown
In the darkest of nights, when hope seemed far away
We found comfort in our brotherhood, come what may

Oh, brothers of the road, we will journey together
Through the storms and sunshine, in any kind of weather
Hand in hand, side by side, our bond will never fade
Brothers of the road, forever unafraid
In the valleys deep and mountains tall we tread
Facing challenges with courage, nothing left unsaid
With each step forward, our spirits ever soar
Bound by a friendship that's worth fighting for

Through winding paths and roads that never end
We'll navigate this world, together, my friend
For in the company of brothers, we find our way
United in purpose, come what may

So let's raise our voices, let our laughter ring
As we continue this journey, let our hearts sing
For in the midst of this asphalt jungle we roam
Brothers of the road, we'll always find our home

Asphalt Jungle

I've been wanderin' these roads so long
With my trusty guitar and a song
Through valleys low and mountains high
Finding solace under starlit skies

I've seen the beauty of this land
From the rolling hills to the ocean sand
With every step, a story unfolds
The tales of people, their joys and woes

And I will sing, with a voice so true
For the wanderers, like me and you
In this folk melody, we'll find our way
Guided by the rhythm that never fades away

Through fields of green and forests deep
Where secrets lie and dreams do keep
I strum my strings, the melody flows
Carried by the wind, wherever it goes

From town to town, I roam alone
But in my heart, I'm never on my own
For in the music, I find my home
A place where I can freely roam

So let's sing together, hand in hand
In this vast and wondrous land
With every chord, we'll paint the skies
And let our souls soar, as the music flies

In harmony, we'll dance and sway
To the rhythm that guides us through the day
For in this folk song, we'll always find
A piece of peace for heart and mind.

Wanderer's Melody

My take on the old Robert Johnson folklore:
Old Luci came knocking on my door
He said “It’s time to pay what you owe”
I said I have to write just one more song
then if you say so I’ll go
I strum my guitar for one more tune
and head back to the cross roads under the moon
Oh the Devil is after me
I had my life of fame but now I see
My number ones were at great cost 
I won the world, but my soul was lost

 The strings on my guitar sing a mournful cry 
as we write our final rhyme
looking at the things I have and things I’ve seen
It’s hard to say goodbye
They say a deal like mine is a mortal sin
But it was so much fun I’d do it over again
 ----

Twenty summers ago in the deep of the south
In a jet black limousine 
He said “you’ve done pretty good with a couple of songs
But I can give you more than your dreams”
I knew right then what would happen to me 
I knew what the fate of my soul would be
Now it won’t be long till there will be nothing of me but my songs

The Devil Is After Me

In a new release marking 1000 days of war since the Russian invasion, TV news reporter turned songwriter Trip Wolfe and friends send out a passionate musical plea not to forget Ukraine. Recorded in collaboration with Ukrainian musicians in exile, the song features Bandura, the harp Stalin banned for its association with Ukraine’s patriotic movement, while the rousing saxophone of John Moriarty seems to hold out some hope amid the darkness. As Ukrainians around the world this month commemorate their Holodomor, the Moscow imposed famine of the 1930s and future Western support for Ukraine wavers, the song asks us to remember the price being paid so we can all “breathe the sweet sweet air of freedom”.

Michael Joe Vitale's musical history has roots in the mid 90s punk scene of the tri-state area. From there he went on to study Jazz at Temple University and performed in a Jazz trio around Philadelphia for a while. Upon relocating to the West coast he found himself joining up with some old friends to form a Progressive Rock band and performed in the Seattle area for a couple of years. Feeling homesick Mike relocated back to Philadelphia and began recording and performing Folk songs under his name, Michael Joe Vitale.

Nibriell is the pseudonym under which I sign my musical and literary works. I was born in Romania, a beautiful country in Eastern Europe, but I also live in the UK. For personal reasons and symbolism, the pseudonym is inspired by the names Saint Nicholas (Ni) and Archangel Gabriel (briell). 

     As for my musical activity, I do not define myself through traditional terms such as artist, musician, or composer, but rather as a music creator. This term is much more suitable for my musical activity. I have only one regret: not being born with the talent to sing or possess a musical voice. 

     However, my passions for music and literature have been cultivated with interest throughout my life. With the advent of AI in our lives, it has been very successful in producing high-quality vocalizations, which instantly encouraged me to start creating melodies. 

     Therefore, in my creative workshop, DAW software, music editing, and AI technology are the tools through which I express my vision. By using AI to generate the distinctive voice of my pieces and recreate the sounds specific to traditional or archaic instruments, I bring to life the stories I present to you. 

     My entire creation, from one end to the other, tries to tell a story, whatever it may be. From myths and legends worldwide to stories I create, they are dressed in melodies and harmonies that exceed language and culture, touching a universal chord of human emotion. With each composition, my goal is to open a window to imaginary worlds, inviting the listener to explore ancestral myths, personal narratives, or those already existing worldwide. 

     Using a mix of modern sounds and traditional elements, I aim to create a bridge between the past and the present, between the real and the fantastic, offering the listener an auditory experience and an emotional and spiritual journey.

     So, Nibriell is the pseudonym that unites all these creative sides and expresses the desire to create and the belief that art, in all its forms, is a vehicle for understanding, compassion, and connection among people, regardless of their origins or borders. This is the path I have chosen to follow, one in which every note and word contributes to creating a more extensive work of all humanity, an ode to the beauty and complexity of life.

     Although AI plays an essential and decisive role in my work, it does not define its direction or quality at all. I entirely write the texts and melodic lines, and the voice generated by it is the product of my strict vision and supervision.

🌟 **Join Me on This Musical Journey!** 🌟  
I'm open to collaboration, just reach out via e-mail. I create all my music. I write it, mix it, run it through several systems, and if the voice isn't mine, it's created by me and trained. I have taught myself how to mix through audacity, and soundtrap, etc and still learning. I have been coding since I was 11 years old, writing since about 5 years old, telling stories since I was two and singing since I was 4. I can sight read, read and badly notate music, and play the piano. I'm teaching myself how to play the drums right now. 

In the next few weeks I’ll be reworking SoundCloud. Enjoy the songs. I’ll be slowing down the music process to 1 song to 2 songs per week now. I will start to transition the current songs to other platforms for easier listening. If anyone has favs they want available earlier, let me know. Enjoy!

Listen to my music. 
I'm a traveler of Worlds. 
Creator of realms, and storyteller at heart. 

Never stop dreaming, never stop laughing, and never stop listening. 
Always do your own research. 

I stand for unity and chilling out with as many people with like-minded vibes as I can.  

In my free time I like to hang out in my mind and create stories about other Worlds, mainly involving complicated time travel nonlinear plots. Wanna know my story? 
Just ask me? 


My songs are my journal, and an open music lab experiment. I need to make music to not be depressed and go into dark, dark places. It's like water for me. 

Feel free to share here, but if you use it for nefarious purposes, well I believe in karma . Peace out, and see you soon. 

Enjoy and never forget, question everything!
