Artist picture
Michael Blue is an independent solo artist specializing in an eclectic blend of '80s Electronica, Soundtrack, and Alternative Christian music, all wrapped up in
Welcome to Michael Blue's SoundClick page! I have been writing and recording since the early '80s and have recorded literally thousands of tracks. Mostly scratch demos of simple song ideas. My primary instrument has always been some form of synthesizer or keyboard workstation, though I also play guitar, bass, saxophone, percussion and others. Essentially, my "style" is hard to pin down. It has been described as a blend of good old-fashioned '80s electronica and modern acoustic ambiance, with some orchestral thrown in for good measure. This generally makes for an unusual sonic experience, without the overworked "trying to be different" feel. I have been actively involved in the worship community at my local church on and off since the '80s. I have also been involved in other church-related musical endeavors, including a local-access cable TV program called KDOT. Currently I am working on my first Indie release; "MUSE" (EP), and hope to have it completed and ready for distribution by late 2010. This site gives access to some "behind the scenes" listens to some of the scratch demos that will eventually be reworked into tracks for the project, as well as some other demos and scratch pieces I'm working on. I use SoundClick as a tool to distribute for critique as well as to work with non-local artists on projects. You can be sure to see updates fairly often in addition to a fairly unusual mix of music, from electronica to pop to film soundtrack.

Story behind the song
Old recording (from tape, thus the hiss) of a piece I did when a friend died when we were young. It is a metaphor of a parent saying "Goodnight" to their child, wishing them well on the journeys in their dreams, and a friend saying goodbye to another in death, wishing them well until they meet again. This song is not likely to be on the Echoes project.
Lyrics
In the quiet of the night I pray you'll sleep tight Sleep now, child, don't let bed bugs bite Sleep now, sleep tight. Visit many distant lands Pray that you may understand This is all part of the plan Child, take your Master's hand This is my hope This is my prayer When I go home That you'll be there It's all I want It's all I need That you'll be there That you'll be free In the quiet of the night Sleep now, sleep tight Pray that you may understand Child, take your Master's hand Now I leave you with this prayer As I watch you sleep there Dear child, remember me Goodnight, rest in peace. This is my hope This is my prayer When I go home That you'll be there It's all I want It's all I need That you'll be there That you'll be free ©2008 Michael Blue
