Helado Negro, "Mitad De Tu Mundo"

This tune was written on New years eve day 2009 and recorded live at Farmhouse Studio soon after with Jonathan Earl and Toby Lee Marshall ....it was a really cold winter.

05 Brittle Blue Moon

I didn’t think this song was going to be on the EP and then it ended up becoming, in many ways, its anchor. I had written it, after seeing “A Streetcar Named Desire” at Saint Ann’s Warehouse, and performed it a few times, but I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted to record it. Then November 8th passed and the line between madness and agony and empathy became more blurry than it had been even during the bloody summer in which it had was created. In those bleak days following the election I went to the studio each day and tried to give the blunt complexity of fear and grief I was experiencing to this song. The recording also contains a lot of tears for Leonard Cohen.


It’s only natural
It’s only natural
One ride away, one ride away from it
Some call it agony, some call it madness
Some call it empathy, some say clairvoyance 
One ride away
In the hot, in the hot
In the hot I got close to God
And if you want to know love
You will seek it
You will find it

off you go

ack.
