The lyrics are wonderful and thank you for sharing the back story too

Exciting guitar intro. Very upbeat and happy. :)

Sad to read about your family and friend's lack of interest. I've noticed that too. Not sure why that is the case. You would think those would be the people who would support you the most. Haha.

Great lyrics (written by Mellina). And quite a positive song and vibe, for a strange commentary into human nature. Well done, Michael. :)

Guitar cutting sound nice💓 I like 💓

Sorry for delay (some personal problems...) Nice atmosphere my dear friend, well done

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

I am simply a music lover, all kinds of music ranging from classical to hard rock.  I don't play many instruments except a little keyboard & guitar nor can I read notes.  However, that has not stopped me from composing songs of my own since sixteen.

I normally create my melodies either freely inside my mind or tailor to some pre-written lyrics or chords. Then I will try to 'materialize' them on my keyboard constrained by my music limitation of course.  As far as I'm concerned, singing is the worst part for me.

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.
