great guitar, nice acoustic sound [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

I really enjoyed your sweet guitar work on this. Very nice song!

Dont understand it but it is well made! Lovely guitar

It seems a live performance. Authentic performance

Lovely track. That bottom end guitar line is great. Nice lead vocal and harmony.

I really appreciate the guitar playing part.

Awesome song. I like how guitar works and the voice is so expressive.

A song about loneliness and alienation, about feeling alone in a city full of people

Watching the faded smiles
See these actors walking asleep
Like lifeboats stranded on the ocean
Floating alone

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Searching these darkened streets
For some trace of meaning
Lifeboats on the ocean
Tracing footsteps back home

But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown

Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Like in the movie the boy with the red balloon, but this time it's her, the one who takes me back to my childhood.

The Story Of The Red Balloon

A nice happy song about pain and loss

Heading south on dusty roads
Headlights glow against the dark
I still hear your voice, I remember your words
Burning bright inside my heart

Not my landscape, not my home
I played the cards I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion

Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)

Heading south running just in case
Love has faded like an old photograph
Feed your heartbreak to the fireplace
Warm your grief in the candle glow

Not my landscape, not my home
I played the part I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion

Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)

PROGRAM NOTE
As a follow-up to our song cycle for soprano and chamber ensemble (or piano), Robert and I  agreed the concept of five characters looking for love online should have a male counterpart. Written for baritone and chamber ensemble, In Real Life II looks at five contemporary men clicking their way to second chances and romance. In “No Frog” we meet a prototypical player, a guy who fluffs his profile, but the truth keeps slipping out. The tone shifts with “Sola Fide,” in which a U.S. veteran of the war in Afghanistan explains the tattoo on his chest and the wounds inside. An older gentleman envisions one last fling in the irreverent “Die with Me.” In “Still Vamping,” a gay man muses on his start-and-stop romantic history. Finally, in “Nice-Plus,” an everyday guy reveals a hidden passion. In Real Life II was commissioned by American Modern Ensemble with funding from the Doctorow Family Foundation.

Escape

sabrine 
into your eyes of brownish green
i fall as if into a dream
here would i rest now, it would seem
peace would i find here

but not before 
the costume of a harlequin i wore
within this heart, this heart that is not pure
maybe you can redeem me, i'm not sure
maybe i'll ask you

sabrine 
i used to walk with you a way downstream
in those days i was barely in my teens
i mostly understood the things you mean
least i thought so

but then 
the wind turns callow boys to callous men
and fragile things are not within their ken
but you just keep on rolling to your end
that's how it seems

i guess that's the thing
we do not know for sure what death will bring
a star-lit winter or a moonless spring
we talk as if we do, we even sing
we often sing

i will step into your shallows
i will flinch because you are cold
i will feel you move around me
you will bear me for a while, i'm told 
i won't get old 
and then the moon will bring me home to rest 
unless

sabrine 
into your liquid eyes i have seen
redemption have i sought but not received
i guess that's cos redeeming ain't for me
at least not yet

MUNDO SIN FRONTERAS ACOUSTIC VERSION (Alfonso Llorente)

Vanishing into the dark,
I was close to be lost.
Framed in time, fear behind my back,
I tried to find something soft.

Drinking too much, lacking lucidity,
I tried to reach at you.
This fantasy was quite funny,
But it wasn’t meant to be.

I lost my way, for many days,
Walking around this creepy shrine.
I mourned and prayed, my beloved gods,
To win this game, against all odds.

From the winter until october,
I had no other way.
It got better in november.
I had to keep this way.

I lost my mind, from time to time,
Back to the sad old days.
Almost serene, rest of the time,
I had no other way.

It is the time to get in line.
Ready to start a brand new life.
These sad old days seem far away,
Like a shadow over my way.

From october until november,
I crawled away against the wave.
This tricky path, not quite funny,
Is certainly the only way.

A new departure (vocals)

Color Blind

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.
