What Ive been doing lately - Redefine by Appealing Machines Miika Mettiainen 2023-07-02 | Hello everyone!It's been a while (once again). I've been quite inactive here and the reason is I've started writing songs with lyrics and my own vocals under the name "Appealing Machines". After 15 years of instrumental music my interest has slowly shifted in this direction but that doesn't mean I won't write instrumental music anymore. It's just what feels right at the moment and I think it's an area where I can express myself in a different way. Anyways, I thought you might be interested to hear what I've been up to so I'll upload my songs here also! Thanks for your patience! MiikaYou can follow me on Spotify to hear all the songs quickly!open.spotify.com/track/3lgOl9jdlrkH3yFfBwjhSf?si=eb8af6d048a34bd4Lyrics:Redefine our past tonight and rediscoverEverything there is to find in one anotherIf we accept there's something good and something badIt's more than anything we've hadThere's nothing that can hurt you anymoreWhen you own your life it's brilliantThere's nothing that can break you anymoreWhen you own your life it's brilliantFollow me into the sun so I'm not lonelyShoot me down and heal the pain, the same old storyIf we accept there's something good and something badIt's more than anything we've hadThere's nothing that can hurt you anymoreWhen you own your life it's brilliantThere's nothing that can break you anymoreWhen you own your life it's brilliantWhen the night is falling downI wanna feel you and hold you in my armsIt's something rare that we have foundI wanna feel you, you own my heartThere's nothing that can hurt you anymoreWhen you own your life it's brilliantThere's nothing that can break you anymoreWhen you own your life it's brilliant

Lost in Park H - Miika Mettiainen Miika Mettiainen 2021-04-23 | This is a song I made last year after rewatching the film "Lost in Translation".

The Remains of the Day - Miika Mettiainen Miika Mettiainen 2020-07-03 | It's been a while but I've got a new piano song ready. Last time with Midnight in Helsinki I planned everything beforehand and practiced before recording but this time I wanted to test my improvisation skills and see where they leads me. I started with a basic theme and then began building on it without planning too much in advance, playing everything several times and then listening back to what I had just played. This method was quick and effective and it became one of my favorites!Available on Spotify and other streaming platforms.I also have another song ready that I made one night after re-watching Lost in Translation and then completely forgot about it, I'll be uploading it soon also!Miika
