I am basically an IT person but I've been making music as a hobby for decades.
When I was young, my parents hardly bothered about what I was doing as long as I made my grades.  So they never seek to listen to my music.   Same can be applied to my wife & son.  At best I got was “nice songs”.    I recall somewhat fifteen years after graduation, I had the chance to meet the old folks again.  Those whom we either sort of played or at least listened to music together.  I thought perhaps I could share some of my music.  So I dubbed about 15 CDs and handed out but that's the last time I heard from anyone on the subject.   Couple of years later, I was foolish enough to repeat it with relatives and of course ended up similarly.

I shared the story with Mellina and said I should make a song out of it as the phrase “no response, no reply, not even a single lie” just kept circling in my head.   Ten days later she came back with this piece of beautiful lyrics which I gladly used with gratitude.   Then I went on to complete the melody.

So this is it.  Hope you like our work.
Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Those long paths of childhood
Were sometimes spent on my own
While my heart was full of music
I never felt I was alone

So I thought they'd be proud
And that they'd all want to share
Because I remember there was once a time
When they always seemed to care

CHORUS
There was no response, no reply,
Not even a single lie
When I handed them my dreams to share
I have to ask them why 
There was no response, no reply,
Not even a single lie
No word of support, no open arms,
And no questions why

With time we all grow and change
Yes I know that now
But where once we'd laughed together
It's like they'd forgotten how

Instrumental

My music has been my constant 
A friend and my guide
A part of my life that didn't change 
And that I never left behind

Repeat chorus

A singer-songwriter who cannot read notes, doesn't play much instruments except a little keyboard & guitar and consider singing as the most difficult part for him.

So in case you're wondering how a guy like this would sound, just spare some of your time for a listen.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
