Derek Michael's Musick

Greatest Influences

All of my musick is inspired first and foremost by Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley, and David Poe, whose Musick gave me much Strength and Courage, and the Will to make it through my Greatest Tribulations. There are multitudes of other bands and artists to list, so I thank them All! May ALL The Angels be with you! 444.77!

Wow, the new songs are excellent!  As geeky as it sounds, you make amazing chords and chord progressions, I'm impressed.  The song "Running in Circles" is killer... this is all good stuff.  Take in on the road, m'man!

Might I say, your taste in music is quite pleasurable to what I am in to. The sounds is just amazing along with the lyrics.

Where oh where
is my loose little tulip

Where or where
in this tainted lost place

It promised many things
from its loose lying lips

But none of them ever 
finally took place

Where oh where is my
lost little tulip

Sprouting up from coals
of death's dirt and gloom?

The sun sets on tomorrow
where my dead love brightly blooms.

The moose caught the goose
Riding on the caboose
The moose caught the goose
and then it let it loose
The goose made a truce
But nothing is a ruse
Like a goose in a caboose
with a name like Cruce

So the muse got away
And the goose didn't pay
And the moose it decided
It didnt matter either way

I love it.  Absolutely love it.  I'm so glad to see your genius finally come to fruition, this music is excellent.  I can't even compare it to another artist, it's amazing.

'All I see is Red' is beautiful.  Well done, old friend.

And so it goes
And so it blows
The wind slows
The snot still flows
Its winter ya know
Nothing like pulling a strand 
to make you feel better

An owl crumbles from the sky
Now a pyrotechnic emblem of fate
Clutched by the Demon so wry
Torn by the daggers of hate

A star ignites under the milky way
In the season of reborn angels
Love is not a vanity
But a crystal pure and spangled

Violet rose
Violet light
Mirror sun
Turning bright

Hold the rose
Mend the hate
So we know
The victory taste

May the angels light the day
May the snails dance as the birds sing
May the children laugh and play

my morning light
shine so ever bright
I had a fever in the womb
but your songs healed my wounds
