Alternative/Electronica ('80s) CCM Recorded with a Korg X3R, Digitech MIDI Vocalist and Alesis MicroVerb 4 through a Peavey Line 8 mixer and M-Audio Audiophile USB into Cool Edit Pro.
This "band page" is specifically for an album I assembled in 1994. The last several recordings are from 4-track tape in the '80s (summer of '88, mostly) and the rest are digitally recorded in the very early '90s. I thought this album and most of the songs in it were lost forever, and stumbled across it recently while looking through some old CDs! One track was withheld, because it is a "remix" of an existing worship song. Many of the songs on this page are "cut short" by SoundClick due to file size, but all the lyrics are included anyway. These are all old (rough) demos, but if there is interest, I could offer individual tracks for sale and make this a "VIP" site, so the tracks could be offered at full-length.

Story behind the song
Goodnight was written when the second of my two friends who died in and just after High School passed away. This is a metaphor between sleep and death, and is dedicated to both of them. Intended to have a similar "feel" to Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity". This song was part of an album CD I put together in 1994, including several tracks from the late '80s, that were thought to have been lost forever when the hard drive they were all on crashed. Recently a single, scratched up CD containing the entire album was discovered at the bottom of a box full of other CDs.
Lyrics
Goodnight Michael Blue 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 ©1994 - 2009 Michael Blue
