epic production buddy , like an old radio piece from years gone by , orchestral mind you have

A song about the agony of deciding whether to settle down or not and society's expectations around that.

Verse 1
Everyone knows better than me
What I should be wanting out of life and… what I need
To live happily
For eternity

Verse 2
Maybe one day I’ll stop settling up and settle down 
And maybe you’re the one that’s still around
When it comes to that
Would you wanna bet?

Chorus
Well I’m not scared enough of ending up alone - just yet
Still think I’m better off being on my own - I bet
you think there must be something wrong with me, I get it
I know you’re probably right and not the first one who said it
Maybe one day I’m grey and old and full of regret
But that’s a long way down the road and I’m not there just yet

Verse 3
Everyone seems to be looking for love
That special someone Disney made us all dream of
From our early days
Like there’s no other way

Verse 4 
Maybe I’m just cynical and secretly crave
That smiling knight in shining armour, so handsome and brave 
Enough to take my hand
And finally understand

Chorus
Well I’m not scared enough of ending up alone - just yet
Still think I’m better off being on my own - I bet
you think there must be something wrong with me, I get it
I know you’re probably right and not the first one who said it
Maybe one day I’m grey and old and full of regret
But that’s a long way down the road and I’m not there just yet

Bridge
At 25, there was still so much life
Ahead, at 29, we all still had plenty of time
At 33, I still wanted nothing but to be free
While half my friends had disappeared into their families
At 34 I wonder if the door’s still open
Or/and if a part of me is actually hoping 
For something I never thought I wanted
And if I don’t get it I’ll forever be haunted
Or if do, I’ll wake up from someone else’s dream
To find a fairytale you’re trapped in is nightmarish scene

Verse 5
Everyone wants someone to hold
If I search long enough I’ll find a fitting nut for this bolt 
Or some other cliché
Will take my breath away

Verse 6
But maybe there’s more than one way to live your life
And maybe mine doesn’t involve two kids and a guy
Or maybe I’ll look back (one day)
On what I could have had…

Chorus
Well I’m not scared enough of ending up alone - just yet
Still think I’m better off being on my own - I bet
you think there must be something wrong with me, I get it
I know you’re probably right and not the first one who said it
Maybe one day I’m grey and old and full of regret
But that’s a long way down the road and I’m not there just yet...

Not There Just Yet (demo)

Been thinking about Lou Reed recently and how he'd spin his lyrics. Especially his album "Berlin".

I'm Going Mad At Ten
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I’m going mad at ten
Won’t you join me then?
Have a bit of tea,
Then a maddening spree
Won’t you join me 

We’ll start with some soft shoe,
Then I’ll scream at you,
And make a fist to swing,
And we’ll break some things,
Then laugh and sing.

Your love led us to this madness,
My illogical syllogism
Your love has made us go quite insane,
See what the blows of mad people can do.

Your love ideal is high,
Way up In the sky,
I can’t stand on solid ground,
With you around.
Nothing is sound.

Your love led us to this madness,
My illogical syllogism
Your love has made us go quite insane,
See what the blows of mad people do.

How many times must you cry in pain,
to give our love some understanding,
How many times must you tell me,
There’s no reason for what you're doing,
love is just having fun,
Our love is just having fun,
and I’m mad to think you think you don’t want another beating,
That thinking is insane.

Tea?
How many lumps?
Fifteen?
Or as before,
Thirty-nine?

Mission

Roade of Music is a collection of instrumental pieces written across my life, beginning around 2002–2003 and continuing through different seasons of growth, healing, and change.

These songs exist because instrumental music is simply a different way of processing emotion — one that doesn’t require explanation, structure, or resolution. When emotions don’t need to be named or organized, music allows you to feel freely, without the pressure of making everything make sense.

Through these pieces, I’ve processed love, hope, gratitude, and peace, alongside loss, grief, longing, exhaustion, reflection, and the quiet moments when rest was needed most. Instrumentals create space — space to sit with emotions in their raw form, to move through them gently, and to let meaning emerge naturally through sound rather than language.

Roade of Music begins with an introduction to my musical journey, and each piece reflects emotions I was processing at different points in my life. The tracks are not chronological. Instead, they are emotional spaces you can enter in any order.

This album is not meant to be rushed. You’re invited to pick the space you need, stay as long as you want, and let the music hold whatever you’re carrying.
