Live Your Life review by Woody’s Rock Reviews2023-01-23T15:14:14+01:00

By Paul Woodward, Woody’s Rock Reviews

If you enjoy the genre you are going to fall head over heels in love with ‘Live Your Life’ which is full of exemplary musicianship and beautiful songs.

Denmark’s Michael Kratz has a wealth of music industry experience and this shows in his compositions and performances on ‘Live Your Life’, which are of an extremely high calibre. Kratz creates and performs in various musical styles and genre’s but here on ‘Live Your Life’ he delivers an old school West Coast album which showcases various aspects of this sub-genre, frequently emulating the sound of Toto the undisputed king of west coast AOR.

Full of atmospheric songs taking elements of pop and indeed prog into the mix creating a really enchanting and beautiful opus. There’s lots of variation in the songs, laid back ballads, meandering atmospheric numbers and straight ahead upbeat commercial fixes like ‘Game Of Love (Over and Over)’.

It’s the perfect album to pop on and relax too, it sweeps over you and is very easy to listen to and get wrapped up in. It may not be an energetic album or excessively commercial but it is unbelievably beautiful and is a perfect chill out album.

Kratz has an obvious love of West Coast and that comes across plainly in his song writing and fans of the genre will revel in Kratz’s loving addition to this quite inoffensive and often overlooked melodic rock sub-genre. If you like Toto, you should definitely check this album out as it’s highly likely ‘Live Your Life’ will appeal to your musical tastes.

Kratz’s vocals actually puts me in mind of Dan Reed and some of his latter solo works are not a million miles away from West Coast – so that ethereal atmospheric tone that Reed has I also hear in Kratz’s vocals.

Kratz has worked with some well-known musicians on this album and given the amount of songs with obvious Toto inspirations it’s no surprise Steve Lukather pops up on ‘This Town Is Lost Without You’ so keep an ear out for his guitar skills on that track! Kratz is a multi-instrumentalist and he plays a good chunk of what you’ll hear and he does so to a really impressive standard.

You don’t hear new West Coast albums very often these days, so when you do you hope for something really good and Michael Kratz has definitely delivered a high-quality West Coast album. If you enjoy the genre you are going to fall head over heels in love with ‘Live Your Life’ which is full of exemplary musicianship and beautiful songs.

Live Your Life review by Classix Metal2023-01-23T15:14:31+01:00

By Classix Metal

” … highly recommended, especially for his outstanding skills in creating songs with a very polished sound.”

Westcoast musician and artist with a good fanbase in the North of Europe, Michael Kratz (of Danish origin) is quite unknown on our lands, even if he’s been involved in a good number of albums in his home country.

“Live Your Life” is the brand new title added  to his solo discography, a wonderful work filled with special contributions from renowned guests just like Steve Lukather (Toto) and Michael Landau (Michael Jackson and Vasco Rossi between others).

These big names have been called to further enhance an album written appositely for a demanding audience, the one in searching for a very refined sound with relaxed melodies, a perfect field where Michael’s “soul” kind of voice meets the great Hi-Tech AOR sound.

If Steely Dan, Air Supply, I-Ten, Richard Max (and especially Chicago) are among your daily listens, this nordic singer/songwriter is highly recommended, especially for his outstanding skills in creating songs with a very polished sound.

Live Your Life review by MelodicRock.it2023-01-23T15:14:52+01:00

By Denis Abello, MelodicRock.it

” … Kratz’s absolutely particular voice combined with Michael Landau’s guitars juggle between elegance and refinement on the first center of this work which also sees David Garfield’s hands resting on its notes …”

New name, at least in our latitudes, that of Michael Kratz. Danish by origin, with a strong background in the music business and who at home also tasted success as a drummer for the pop band Kandis!

After a long work and having found a home in the arms of the increasingly far-sighted and very Italian Art of Melody Music Michael is preparing to present his first solo work entitled Live Your Life on the international stage, which plays with both AOR and Westcoat in a mixture of TOTO and Boulevard with a touch here and there of Pop Rock. High-level production, a cast of first-rate guests including Steve Lukather, Michael Landau, David Garfield, Dom Brown and our own Alessandro Del Vecchio, all combined with a unique taste for writing and arranging the pieces… the conditions for a disc that knows how to talk about if everyone is there.

Assumptions immediately maintained on the notes of We All Live In This Nation. Kratz’s absolutely particular voice combined with Michael Landau’s guitars juggle between elegance and refinement on the first center of this work which also sees David Garfield’s hands resting on its notes.

Live Your Life is a powerful catalyst. The underlying rhythm is captivating, Michael’s voice enraptures the mind while the choirs envelop us in a text that makes us think. Another notch on the roadmap.

This Town Is Lost Without You, boasting a monumental guitar solo by Steve Lukather, is the masterpiece of this particular album. Overwhelming but delicate like the early morning breeze, if you love these sounds between westcoast and AOR you cannot help but be fascinated by them.

Dom Brown’s guitar is the focal point of the delicate and melancholy What Did I.. ?. We’ve already talked extensively about the irresistible groove of Never Take Us Alive (here if you’re interested ;)) and so let’s fly straight to the next Game Of Love (Over And Over) and its ultra radio refrain!

Lying is one of the most introspective pieces, a delicate confession that strikes as direct as a stab… and at this point all that remains is to indulge in the refined guitar touches of Paradise Lost embellished by the choirs of the seven very young singers of the MidtVest Juniorkor.

Last four pieces that enter the scene playing between the Pop Rock of Shade and the radio gait of Bye Bye. Dying Young manages to make the heart ache. Poignant slow that once again showcases all the qualities of this splendid work signed by the Danish artist.

In closing, there is also space for a little of our Italy. In fact, the keyboards of the song In Between are by our ever better Alessandro Del Vecchio!

IN CONCLUSION

An album that is a cross-section of the Life and Soul of the Artist and Person who is Michael Kratz.

At times sunny, at times melancholic but always supported by pieces capable of moving and reaching the target. Stellar Production as well as the Guests who alternate between one song and another. Michael’s voice is either hate it or love it… but I think it’s easier to love it. An unconventional album but one of great elegance and sophistication!

Live Your Life review by Heavy Paradise BlogSpot2023-01-23T15:15:12+01:00

By Heavy Paradise BlogSpot

It’s a kinda of relaxing record that will travel your soul and mind and will speak straight into your heart!

Michael Kratz is a Danish singer/musician that has a a long and rewarding career in the music business, especially in his home country. Michael in his career played several styles of rock (he was, also, drummer of mainstream pop act, Kandis) and nowadays he is ready to unleash his brand new opus with the title “Live Your Life“.

Michael collaborates in this new album with some legendary musicians such as Steve Lukather(Toto), Michael Landau, Dom Brown (Duran Duran), David Garfield, Christian Warburg (Paul Young) & Alessandro Del Vecchio (Revolution Saints, Hardline).

Live Your Life” contains 12 tracks that are all pure melodic rock/westcoast music at its best. Magical melodies, harmonies to die for, clever arrangements and an overall mid 80’s westcoast vibe are the ingredients here. I think that the fans of this particular scene will find in “Live Your Life” the perfect purchase for them!!

Michael Kratz except the vocals here he is playing the guitar in every track of “Live Your Life” and he, also, plays the drums in “Game Of Love“.

Highlights here are the up-tempo “Game Of Love“, the Toto-esque “Live Your Life“, the beautiful “What Did I …?“, the moodier “Paradise Lost” and “Bye Bye“. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the rest of the songs are fillers, no way!! Believe me this is an excellent album all the way. It’s a kinda of relaxing record that will travel your soul and mind and will speak straight into your heart!

Live Your Life review by viriAOR2023-01-23T15:15:32+01:00

By Luis Miguel Prada, viriAOR

” … Live Your Life an album that announces to have a position at the top at the end of the year … or at least in my book it will be”

Some time ago, before being with the viriAOR family, I would surely have let this artist go unnoticed and that is because I have become a bit negative with respect to the current times in the music scene, and the reasons for my negativity go without saying, but here comes the beauty of writing reviews and I don’t mean ranting about every album that comes out if that’s what you thought, it’s discovering new albums and artists, listening to them carefully over and over again until you capture the essence of the album (when they have it) and transmitting that to people – here comes the difficult part, and more when artists only go to the studio to comply with their record company without any new ideas, which is what abounds lately and hence much of my negativism.

We all know these companies and artists very well, but there are others who come in with fresh ideas, who not only record to fulfill and sell, oh well, they also make the work of those of us who write much easier. Below you will find a clear example of this.

Since the middle of last year, Michael Kratz had released a couple of singles that he would later include on the album, including We All Live Is The Nation and Never Take Us Alive and Liying. The album could fit perfectly into the AOR / West Coast with songs like We All Live Is The Nation featuring Guitarist Dom Brown (Duran Duran), but if we go further, we’ll hear a creaking guitar giving way to a strong impulse. Funk in Never Take Us Alive remembering the always Great Ole Børud that we love to talk about, or Shade’s Sophisticated Pop that will remind you of Prefab Sprout, Love and Money. Jhonny Hates Jazz and the entire Sofistipop scene of the late 80s in Great Britain.

Live Your Life consists of 12 songs and we find 2 guys who have known each other since school Steve Lukather and Michael Landau, on the other hand another old friend of theirs, keyboardist David Garfield to complete the super stars of the album. Even so, and going back to my negativism a bit, this is not synonymous with the album being a bomb, if you don’t have fresh ideas or good compositions, or by reviving and bringing together all the Porcaros you’re going to have a great album, but if the artist and record company that call them have a clear idea of ​​what they want, and they don’t just call them to fill the credits so much Luke, Landau and Garfield who have known each other for more than 30 years will move like fish to water in the studio , and they will contribute what is necessary to make it a great album and that is precisely what has happened here.

Game of Love (Over And Over) returns to the sound that both Michael and we are passionate about; yes, the AOR, in case there was any doubt. With a simple theme without many arrangements, but a chorus that you will not forget in a long time. Great song! Michael immediately goes on to show us his most intimate side in Lying accompanied by an acoustic guitar, probably Luke on guitar.

The album is coming to an end and with 3 songs remaining, Michael announces it with Bye Bye on many occasions. After 12 songs and more than 50 minutes, nostalgia invades me, there have been 12 wonderful songs, which make Live Your Life an album that announces to have a position at the top at the end of the year … or at least in my book it will be.

Live Your Life review by Arfm Radio2023-01-23T15:10:32+01:00

By Steve Price – Arfm Radio

Press play, sit back and relax. You will not be disappointed.

When the likes of Steve Lukather, Michael Landau, Dom Brown and David Garfield (plus many more) agree to appear on an album you know you have something of quality and class. “Live You Life” is certainly that.

Is this West Coast? Maybe. Is this AOR? Maybe. No matter what genre we catagorise this album as one thing is for sure, Michael Kratz along with Kasper Viinberg have crafted an album which can only be described as 100% beautiful music. Brilliantly constructed songs and quality production.
This album deserves to be listened to in its entirety. Press play, sit back and relax. You will not be disappointed.

Lyrics

I wonder how this world was meant to be?
This world of make-believe
It’s hard to pretend to like what I see!

Just another ordinary “Scary Planet” day
Another Breaking News
It’s hard to believe the actions of the human race

We all live in this nation
Children of the world, breathing the same air
We all live in this nation
No more lives in fear, how can we not care?

For a moment, I can look upon the deep blue sky
The sky will ease my mind
But I know someone else’s sky is daunting dark

We all live in this nation
Shine a little light, brighten up their day
We all live in this nation
Too many life’s lost, we must find a way

We all live in this nation
Children of the world, breathing the same air
We all live in this nation
No more lives in fear, how can we hang on?

We all live in this nation
We don’t need to live in fear, we all need to be here!

We all live in this nation
Children of the world, breathing the same air
We all live in this nation
No more lives in fear, how can we not care?

We all live in this nation
Shine a little light, brighten up their day
We all live in this nation
Too many life’s lost, we must find a way

We all live in this nation
Children of the world, breathing the same air
We all live in this nation
No more lives in fear, how can we not care?

We all live in this nation
We all live in this nation

Another rainy day
Can’t get up, fighting just to stay
This man was on his way
Lived a life in honesty, he lived everyday
Remember the seconds, counting down

Now, time is running out
Living with an enemy, living in a cloud
Some days just passing by
Some days will be like yesterdays.
Keep the spirit high!
Hold on to the seconds, still counting down

(Time to live)
Every day is a new begining
(Take your time)
To live in the moment
(Everyday)
Don’t make it be for nothing
(Live your life)

One minute – had it all
Now it seems so far away, it’s written on the wall
Feet solid on the ground
A minute after happiness
His world turned upside down

(Time to live)
Every day is a new begining
(Take your time)
To live in the moment
(Everyday)
Don’t make it be for nothing
(Live your life)

(Time to live)
Every day is a new beginning
(Take your time)
To live in the moment
(Everyday)
Don’t make it be for nothing
(Live your life)

Even in the passing moment of your life
You will feel the glory of things you leave behind
You have marked your steps, all along the line
We remember you, we carry you in our minds

(Time to live)
Every day is a new begining
(Take your time)
To live in the moment
(Everyday)
Don’t make it be for nothing
(Live your life)

(Time to live)
Every day is a new begining
(Take your time)
To live in the moment
(Everyday)
Don’t make it be for nothing
(Live your life)

Time to live
Take your time
Everyday
Live your life

She’s out of time
Empty handed lovers know what it’s like
She walks the line, bending over far too many times
She pretends she can’t talk but reacts
‘Cause it hurts when she walks that’s a fact

She hits the street, early in the morning on her feet
A place to go
Just run away from all you´ve ever known
For the last time for the last time

Out there somewhere
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too
(Empty handed lovers know)
One down, it’s all around
This town is lost without you

They wash their hands
Empty hearted lovers they know the dance
And on the line Daddy’s working late kiss mom goodnight
For the last time

Out there somewhere
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too
(Empty handed lovers know)
One down, it’s all around
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too

Out there somewhere
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too
(Empty hearted lovers know what it’s like)
One down, it’s all around
This town is lost without you
Your leaving I’m leaving too

You were gone
I was feeling low
What went wrong
I don’t know

About to cry
And I really felt I’d rather die
Than see you leave
With another guy

What did I
Do to make you leave tonight
What could I’ve done to make it right
What did I
Do to make you change your mind
You know I tried to be so kind

Emptiness
No more love to come
All alone on the run

You turned me on
Just to bring me down to my knees
I feel the pain, let it ease

What did I
Do to make you leave tonight
What could I’ve done to make it right
What did I
Do to make you change your mind
You know I tried to be so kind

By now you should know my heart
You know it belong to only you
And I’ve been waiting, waiting
God, I’ve been waiting for you
I don’t know what to do
I wish you would take my heart
With you, with you

What did I
Do to make you leave tonight
What could I’ve done to make it right
How could I
Make you change your mind
You know I tried to be so kind

Look what we’re running from
They don’t know what’s about to come
They’ve been tryin’ to keep all of us
In this prison cell – it’s so obvious

But we’ve been growing in numbers
Enlightened and unafraid
And now the walls are starting to crack
Yeah, it’s time to react

This machine’s been controlling our world
But now it’s time to take it out
The truth about you will soon be unfurled
No matter how much you scream and shout

Wait one minute – the window is closing
And I’ll get us out of here
Wait one second – this party is over
I’ll promise you this:
You’ll never take us alive

You’ve been infected by greed
Yeah, it’s like a sickness – How much do you really need?
Have you got anything left to show?
No, I didn’t think so

This machine’s been controlling our world
But now it’s time to take it down
I’ve got this match and I’ll burn
Your house right to the ground

Wait one minute – the window is closing
And I’ll get us out of here
Wait one second – this party is over
I’ll promise you this:
You’ll never take us alive

Wait one minute – the window is closing
And I’ll get us out of here
Wait one second – this party is over
I’ll promise you this:
You’ll never take us alive

Wait one minute – the window is closing
And I’ll get us out of here
Wait one second – this party is over
I’ll promise you this:
You’ll never take us alive

Girl you know
That you will always be
The only girl that matters to me

Even though
I may be to naïve
In my heart – I still believe

I believe in you and me
Even though it wasn’t meant to be

I know that it will be alright
I know that we can make it right
And I know that we’re gonna play
The game of love over and over again

Girl I hope
You really know what I mean
’cause we can be the greatest ever seen

And I hope
We can push it on and on
To the place – where we belong

I believe in you and me
Even though it wasn’t meant to be

I know that it will be alright
I know that we can make it right
And I know that we’re gonna play
The game of love over and over again
I know, you’re more than just a friend
And I know we can make it till the end
And I know that we’re gonna play
The game of love over and over again

You gotta work, you gotta fight
You gotta find a way to go
You’re gonna loose, you’re gonna win
You gonna find a wind to blow
It isn’t easy if you end up feeling sleazy
But you do what you have to do
Have to do
Have to do

I know that it will be alright
I know that we can make it right
And I know that we’re gonna play
The game of love over and over again
I know, you’re more than just a friend
And I know we can make it till the end
And I know that we’re gonna play
The game of love over and over again

Everything is torn
I can’t believe the things I have done
The world turns upside down
With that look in your eye

As you’re lying with me
And I’m lying to you

I could run and hide
But it would not change what’s been broken inside
I would end up doing it all again
with someone new

So now you’re lying with me
And I’m lying to you

The world turns upside down
Now I’m up in the sky
I really don’t know how to feel
You should go your own way
So I can give in to this high
I think it’s time to say – Goodbye

Morning presses on
Soon we’ll feel the warmth of the sun
It’s becoming very clear
That we won’t make it through

When you’re lying with me
And I’m lying to you

The world turns upside down
Now I’m up in the sky
I really don’t know how to feel
You should go your own way
So I can give in to this high
I think it’s time to say – Goodbye

But I’m stuck in the dream
And I don’t know what to do
When you’re lying with me
And I’m lying to you

I’m sitting all alone
I can’t believe what happened
Everything seems so dark
I can’t see anything but the ruins

They took my friends
They took my family
Everything that I had
Now it’s all gone forever

I lost my paradise
They took my paradise
I can’t find my paradise
Where’s my paradise
I lost my paradise

How could they do it?
On common ground, isolated
It’s so hard to believe
The future I saw has faded

Strangers flowing away
Surrounded by the silence
There’s nothing I can say
Nothing left to do

I lost my paradise
They took my paradise
I can’t find my paradise
Where’s my paradise
I lost my paradise
They took my paradise
I can’t find my paradise
Where’s my paradise
I lost my paradise

A hollow state of mind
Is all that’s left behind
I just wish You could feel it yourself
I wanted to be free
But there´s nothing here for me

I lost my paradise
They took my paradise
I can’t find my paradise
Where’s my paradise
I lost my paradise
They took my paradise
I can’t find my paradise
Where’s my paradise
I lost my paradise

She had to see it for herself
What they’d been fighting was finally over
She hitched a ride and some stranger drove her
To the other side of town

Got out and saw her childhood home
Her knees got weak and her body shivered
No need to try ‘cause no one could give her
Any peace of mind

The door creaked more than it used to
The paintings on the walls were beginning to fade
And every time she looked up to the bedroom
It threw a shade
It hit her in the heart and she blew out a candle
Felt just like a little girl again
And when she reached out to turn the handle
It started to rain

She cut her ties to everything
And then she headed out to find some answers
But the uncertainty was like a cancer
That built inside of her

They say that time will mend your wounds
And even though she still feels the bruises
I am shure that she will heal – ‘cause who says
You can’t turn it around

The door creaked more than it used to
The paintings on the walls were beginning to fade
And every time she looked up to the bedroom
It threw a shade
It hit her in the heart and she blew out a candle
Felt just like a little girl again
And when she reached out to turn the handle
It started to rain

Don’t
Give in to desire
You’ll end up chasing fires
So, aim a little higher

Oh, Please
You’ve got to keep it moving
Just think about what you’re doing
Is it really worth pursuing

The door creaked more than it used to
The paintings on the walls were beginning to fade
And every time she looked up to the bedroom
It threw a shade
It hit her in the heart and she blew out a candle
Felt just like a little girl again
And when she reached out to turn the handle
It started to rain

She makes me cry in the night
And I wish I could fly
Instead of live in this lie

She knows what make me sad
And she does what she can
To make it all go mad

She know, she know, she know
That this might be the end
And she don’t seem to care much
That’s not my sin

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

She knows what’s bringing me down
And she loves to make – make me feel like a clown
She knows that I couldn’t see
When she turned me off
And brought me down on my knees

I know, I know, I know
That she wont break apart
If I move away from here
And try to make a brand-new start

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

Can you make me feel strong
Can you make me be happy
Then I wanna hold you
And I wanna love you
Can you make me feel glad
Can you make me feel alive
Then I wanna please you
And I wanna kiss you

I saw this little boy
Walking the long long way
Beggin’ his mom
Please don’t stay

She left him alone
Before he was awake
To go to the bar
She drank all her pain away

Mama I need you so
Won’t you please come home with me
’cause I can’t live here on my own
Mom I’m your youngest son
How can my life go on
When I’m left here Dying Young

She left him again
Telling him not to cry
“Now, it won’t be late
Believe me, time will fly”

She kissed him goodbye
And left with another guy
“Don’t stay up till late”
The day now began to fade

Mama I need you so
Won’t you please come home with me
’cause I can’t live here on my own
Mom I’m your youngest son
How can my life go on
When I’m left here Dying Young
Dying young

Now he went home
To go to sleep alone
Praying to God
Not to wake up alone

Mama I need you so
Wont you please come home with me
’cause I can’t live here on my own
Mom I’m your youngest son
How can my life go on
When I’m left here Dying Young

Mama I need you so
Wont you please come home with me
’cause I can’t live here on my own
Mom I’m your youngest son
How can my life go on
When I’m left here Dying Young
Dying young
Dying young

I got someone
Somewhere in between
Yeah, I got someone
Somewhere in between

And in the distance
You keep whispering my name
When I close my eyes, I know
You’re feeling just the same

You are my someone
(and you’re) Somewhere in between
I’m looking for something
That is nowhere to be seen

You made me forget myself
And please you everyday
Teasing your love for me
And then you went away

And Now this distance
keeps on growing day by day
But suddenly You’re standing right there
Asking me to stay

You call me up and I come knocking on your door
My bleeding heart is on the floor
I know what lies ahead ‘cause we’ve been down this road before
But Baby, when You smile I just want more

I carry your love with me
But trying to let it go
Asking you to set me free
‘cause you leave me feeling low

And in the distance
I’m now whispering your name
When you close your eyes, you know
My feelings aren’t the same

Now you’ve got someone
Somewhere in between
Yeah, I am your someone
Somewhere in between

I call you up and you come knocking on my door
Your bleeding heart is on the floor
You know what lies ahead ‘cause we’ve been down this road before
But Baby, when I smile you just want more
