LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL (Alfonso Llorente)

Given the impotence we have against COVID19, I decided to face it with music

SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT COVID19

Time making music is time well spent in these crazy times. ❤️🎶

Sometimes I dream I can fly
Sometimes I dream I can soar

And maybe
When I close my eyes
We can meet in the sky
No gravity
No gravity
Holding us down

Sometimes I dream I have wings
They are beautiful 

Chorus

The stars are dancing
The stars are dancing

No gravity...
No gravity...
Holding us down

Dedicated to Sander. ❤️

NO GRAVITY

So close but yet so far - we're reaching for a star - it's at our fingertips - we ignore who we really are - the truth is in my eyes - but you never look my way - you're so pre-occupied - going on with your day - I'm peeking in your room to see if you're awake - please don't make pretend - oh how my body aches - you're reaching for your phone - it's not me on the other end - does he really make you smile - can he give you everything
got so much time for him - time to throw away - wish you'd make him your past and spend some time today - cause baby we got time - time to see this through - if you've got time for me - then i got time for you
When did this go wrong - the two of us to blame - can you sleep at night - or do you feel ashamed - cause i know that I'm ashamed with all this fight in me - i still procrastinate - precious time is fleeting - if you just pick up your head - take one look at my face - it'll all come back to you - you let me take my place - so i sit and watch you sleep - cause i'd like to spend some time - oh how my body weeps - can't have what isn't mine
Chorus
We're bent but we're no broken - we're tired but we're awake - exchange cautionary glances - at what point will we break - i need some of your time - i miss you terribly - I'm in the other room - come and spend some time with me
chorus

SOLITUDE -  STAY HOME  (Alfonso Llorente)

ALFONSO LLORENTE: LYRICS, VOCALS, ELECTRIC GUITARS, ACOUSTIC GUITAR, BASS & DRUMS

Music is in the air, and air is free.....

AIR IS FREE

I´m up and you´re down
While you sleep I´m in your dreams
Politicians running around
As little hogs in pink tutus
All I know is in the air
All I feel is in my guitar
Politicians can´t make a deal 
With what I feel
Music is in the air
And air is free! 
Yeah, air is free!

It doesn´t matters if you´re gone
It doesn´t matters if you´re here
It doesn´t matters if you´re white
It doesn´t matters if you´re black
As long as you feel grey
And you don´t run away
From whom you really are
And in the meantime don´t forget
That music is in the air
And air is free!
Yeah, air is free

The system will purge you out
As politicians hop and shout
Spiting laws to speculate
And tag a price on your dreams
Hoping they will cut a deal
Making you feel as if it was for real
They don´t care if you feel
That you still believe
That music is in the air
And that air is free!
Yeah, air is free

It doesn´t matters if you´re gone
It doesn´t matters if you´re here
It doesn´t matters if you´re white
It doesn´t matters if you´re black
As long as you feel grey
And you don´t run away
From whom you really are
And in the meantime don´t forget
That music is in the air
And air is free!
Yeah, air is free

AIR IS FREE (Alfonso Llorente) (Lyrics)

(Lyrics)

------ Verse -----
You can treat me like a dog i'm your animal
smell of blood in the air makes us lose control
i won't give into reason the pure were always grieving 
------ Hook ------
Coming up closer to the end
look you in the eyes think back to when
everything was within our reach
now we're lucky if we speak
----- Chorus -----
What's it gonna be this time
are you gonna fall in line
everything was out of control

what's it gonna be this time
are you gonna say goodbye
i can't hold on if you let go
---- Hook ----
Coming up closer to the end
look you in the eyes just don't pretend
nothing left to be destroyed 
in this game we're just some toys
---- Verse ----
Got you begging on your knees 
now you'll come for me
everything i ever needed hidden in your scream
it could be pain or pleasure
we'll suffer here forever

You always told me so i was just your animal
thought i'd let you know you were just my animal

I'm Your Animal

This is all we need  to win our war against coronavirus......

ALL WE NEED IS HOPE

We´ll learn new ways to be together
Mother nature will show us how
It is the dawn of our lives
A new story is to be told
And our hope  will unfold
With the birds´ new songs
Old ways will be purged
Death will show us equality
As we leave to a better world
Don´t be sad
Don´t be surprised
All we need is hope

As we look up to the skies
And we feel as an ant
While Mother Nature smiles at us
Some will stay and some will go
As the new world appears
We´ll understand what happened then
All we need is hope
All we need is hope
All we need is hope
Don´t be sad
Don´t be surprised
All we need is hope
All we need is hope
All we need is hope
All we need is hope
All we need is hope

ALL WE NEED IS HOPE (Alfonso Llorente) (Lyrics)

Don´t forget that there's always  tomorrow


MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE

Broken mirrors
Torn souls
Restless dreams
Unfinished races
Confused sensations
Crushed reflections
Memories of the future
Untold tales will unfold

Betrayed dreams unanswered claims
Don´t delay, don´t run away
Forgetting you won´t be the same
While my heart is chained to sadness
Memories of the future
A million miles still to run

What if yes was no
And if no was yes
What if white was black
And if black was white
Let’s all live in grey!

Betrayed dreams unanswered claims
Don´t delay, don´t run away
Forgetting you won´t be the same
While my heart is chained to sadness
Memories of the future
A million miles still to run

Broken mirrors
Torn souls
Restless dreams
Unfinished races

Some secondary effects of the quarantine

AT THE GATES OF BOREDOM  (Alfonso Llorente)

Just another old one man band unsigned musician who sings and plays a little guitar, bass & drums and fools around on the piano; expert in writing songs that usually disappear with the wind, and in composing musical flops.  Folks say that I´m a composer, but I think they´re wrong: I just download the music I hear and feel in the atmosphere and give it back to the people. I don´t do a living from music; I ´m an attorney and horse breeder who gets noisy when I download the music I hear and feel.Thanks for checking out my page and listening the noise I´ve been doing for the past 50 and so years when I get musical.  I´m based in Bogotá, Colombia, and always open to do collabs.
