How are these vocals created, Mike? Fascinated to know as you say you're a one man band...

What a powerful lyric, with such sympathy. Great melodies. Thanks for sharing this painful memory, so others might empathise. Best wishes to you Mike

Lots of great stuff on your channel here Mike, enjoyed my visit . . . you capture emotion very well in your compositions, very eclectic styles, I'll be back for sure !

Wow, what an incredible track, the lyrics are brutal yet beautiful.  Brilliant song.

I became obsessed with a certain Italian TV show, and the possibilities of Italian Hip Hop. Thanks to Anam for making a musical fantasy come true.

Calami La Lampo (with Anam Hermit)

After uploading private, I decided to go public with this - maybe others will relate. Like Clapton who said of Tears in Heaven: I almost subconsciously used music for myself as a healing agent... while I'm no great performer, this song speaks my mind. Words below:

Looking in the glass, she sees what is not there
Even though she thinks she is, she's not aware
That the voices in her head, they tell her lies
The voices in her head, they blind her eyes

Her body now so thin, so weak, so frail
Each time that we've seen her, she looks more pale
And we plead with her be brave, accept some help
But the voices in her head, she hates herself

I sometimes wonder Lord why it is so
So much mental sickness down here below

For, looking in the glass, she sees what is not there
Even though she thinks she is, she's not aware
That the voices in her head, they tell her lies
The voices in her head, they blind her eyes - ahhh

So Broken (with Vocals)

Unwavering Devotion

I *absolutely* loved these @km-songs lyrics when I first read them, and also had a feeling they'd work well as a duet. So I enlisted the help of the brilliant Serene Sunderland (@user-846248422), who has made the song about a million times better with her presence. Musically, I was aiming for something Gershwin-y, but it's ended up in Randy Newman territory. Ah well...

LYRICS © 2023 Kristi McKeever

Would you sing the alphabet
Backwards from Z
Make up a dance
Try to impress me

Would you keep a secret
If I told you one
Play a few games
Have a little fun

[ch]
You say absolutely
I say all right
You say certainly
All day, all night
It would be a pleasure
An honor, delight
You say absolutely
I say all right

Would you take a ride
On a tandem bike
Go treasure hunting
In the countryside

Would you save the last piece
Of chocolate cake
Stay up for a chat
Watch the daybreak

[ch]
You say absolutely
I say all right
You say certainly
All day, all night
It would be a pleasure
An honor, delight
You say absolutely
I say all right

[br]
You’re never old when you’re being bold
Never tired if you’re inspired
State of mind is all we have
So why not play and share a couple laughs
