a compilation of some of the better stuff I had recorded before 2022, the year I became much more active on SoundCloud (after getting a new piano for my birthday!). Before that, there was about 20 years (!) where I didn't record or hardly even play anything, other than drumming in various drum circles. So all this music is actually from between 1998-2002. Sound quality is not always great, but some hidden gems here & there. Thanks for listening...   :)

"Best Before Date" (music from before 2022 - compilation)

4th O' July 2025

SeeYour Mix 2

some music I wrote and performed some time ago, around 2001, and some more recent stuff from after 2022.

Mark Myoozik (all originals)

revisiting an old favourite with new & improved sound quality, mixing and arrangement. This is basically a repeating chorus, which is pretty catchy, but I’d love to eventually compose the rest of this tune, and have it played by jazz musicians with live instruments one day. This is probably still one of my top 3 favourite tracks, but there’s a couple other versions I’ve posted on here - one with a saxophone playing lead melody:

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)

mark music medley (top 10 tidbits -oldies)

one of my favourite tracks from the older batch written around early 2001. Or at least it was a favourite for about 20 years until I started writing new stuff in 2022. The violin solo near the beginning is one of my favourite bits I've recorded, but the middle section could use some work since I don't play guitar - everything on this is played on keyboard. I'd love one day re-do this with better sound quality, or even with real violin and guitar.
 
instruments include drums, bass, piano, electric piano, violin, electric guitar, xylophone, organ (all played on keyboard).

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. :)

Multi2dinal

re-uploading an old tune from around 2001, remastered from original tape. This is definitely one of the ones I'd love to hear played on real orchestral instruments.

instruments include violin (bowed & plucked), cello, clarinet, accordion, percussion - all synth sounds. 

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. :)

Aulde Europe

This was one of my earliest compositions - from around 2001 - of what I would consider a 'full' song... i.e. not the usual recording of me noodling on a part to build on later and never finishing. The main chorus & verse theme are pretty straightforward and remind me a little of the 'Winter Games' theme by David Foster. But the bridge section in the middle and especially the arpeggio in the closing section are something quite different... arguably my favourite minute or so of anything I've recorded.

The Last Days Of November

Love soulful emotional ballad. Lyrics by DjSas. Song by Joy

-Just Friends

—-Verse 1]
I see your face
 and my heart aches.
Standing so close but we're worlds apart.
Every laugh we share 
cuts deep
 beneath the skin.
feelings that 
no one will win.

[Verse 2]
Your hand in mine feels like a spark. 
A love we can't call ours
 drives me 
insane.
Each glance a secret that we bury in the sand,
Pretending we're just friends 
when our feelings 
are much more. 

[Chorus]
Just friends 
is a lie we tell
ourselves.
 Our hearts
 rebel,
Falling 
for the one
 you can't have.


[Verse 3]
I watch you smile but it tears me to shreds.
Every word spoken dances round the things we don’t
say to each other. 
The way we joke it’s as if we’re free,
But behind this 
 is a love that’s 
breaking me.

[Bridge]
The love is true but you say
 no.
I hold back my tears,
 though they threaten to overflow. 
In your shadow I’m lost 
 feelings 
we can’t let win.

[Chorus]
Just friends
 is a mask we wear.
A fragile oath that hides despair.
Living,
 but never whole.
Your touch
 I’ll never hold.

Forte e fragile

You changed my world

Sometimes I can’t even focus my mind  
Feels like I’m living with my head in the sky  
I wasn’t like this, I was the opposite kind  
Now I’m a broken

You changed my world  
And it started with a simple “hi”  
You changed my world  
And to think I liked you so much  
You changed my world  
Give me back what once was mine

I lost all my habits, my friends and my pride  
My dignity, my peace, the calm I had inside  
I believed in you more than I ever knew  
And now here love from you

You changed my world  
My simple way of living, too  
You changed my world  
I thought that youYou changed my world  
Give me back what once was mine

I wish I could go back, rewind every mistake  
Find the strength I had before all this heartache  
But every step brings me back to your way  
And I wonder if I’ll find my own path someday

You changed my world, but now I take it slow  
Piece by piece, I hold myself and grow  
You changed my world, but you won’t change who I’ll be  
This time I choose where my wings will set me free

You changed my world  
And it started with a simple “hi”  
You changed my world  
And to think I liked you so much  
You changed my world  
Give me back what once was mine

You changed my world

((**apologies for not being on Soundcloud nearly as often as I used to... I try to catch up on all the great music you are all putting out there just may take some time!**))

This tune is another variation of an old original piano melody that's gone through several drastic 'evolutions', appearing in a number of my other songs. In this version I'm playing a harp sound on the keyboard run through an arpeggiator. sounds very Enya-esque.

Here are the other very different versions based on the main piano theme:

- Away With The Rapids (2023 with the Eclectic Collective)

- Elementus III (2023 electronica version)

- Harp of My Dreams - reprise 2022  (an alternate version of this track)

Soul Piano Love 
Lyrics by Sas. Duet with Joy

-Perfect Love 

[Verse]
Is there a love that stands so tall
A partner who breaks down every wall
A bond so strong it never fades
A perfect tune our hearts have played

[Verse 2]
Is there a touch that feels so right
A hand to hold through every fight
A voice that calms the stormy seas
A perfect love that sets us free

[Chorus]
I’m searching for a love
A Perfect Love
A love with endless nights and golden days
A heart,  my home
My guiding star

[Verse 3]
Is there a smile that lights the sky
A look that whispers never lie
A love that burns but never scars
A perfect flame that never fades

[Bridge]
 a story with no end
Each chapter new
No need for words
The truth is clear
Perfect love is what I’m searching for.

[Chorus]
I’m searching for love
A love so perfect
Of endless nights and golden days
My  hearts home
My guiding star
Perfect love

Is that you?

This track uses sound samples from GarageBand which I then arranged into this thumpin’ thingamabobber. Like lots of my stuff, this is just an idea which may be developed into a fuller arrangement later.
