Dancin'

Piece inspired by romanticism in the city: love within concrete walls, poetry beneath artificial light...

Three vocal parts (translated lyrics below) became in very different moods in the songwriter phase, so I couldn't fit them in the same tempo. Working hard on transitions, I got the following solution:

Intro: ad libitum
A: 6/4 & 5/4 at 147bpm
B: 4/4 at 220bpm
C: 4/4 at 293bpm

Such ABC pattern is repeated twice, structured with some city scenes, and 2nd 'C' part includes a guitar soloing lesson by https://soundcloud.com/paco-ray, old friend of mine, technical consultor and personal luthier ;)

LETRA / LYRICS:

DAS VIDA A MI CIUDAD      /      YOU GIVE LIFE TO MY CITY

En la ciudad donde vivo,     /   In the city where I live,
llena de romanticismo,       /   full of romanticism,
el cariño que has perdido    /   the affection you have lost,
ven a buscarlo conmigo.      /   come to look for it with me.

Las farolas en la acera,    /    The lamps along the sidewalk,
con su fija alternativa,    /    with their constant alternation,
iluminan, no iluminan,      /    illuminate, do not illuminate,
el escenario de mi vida.     /   the stage of my life.

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor. /  we are able to feel love.

Caminando sobre asfalto,   /     Walking on asphalt,
abrazado a tu cadera,     /      held on your hip,
entre coches aparcados,     /    amid parked cars,
duerme la ciudad entera.    /    the entire city sleeps.

Eres tú toda la vida      /      You are all the life
que esta ciudad necesita,   /    that this city needs,
compartiendo cada esquina,   /   sharing every corner,
calles de melancolía...     /    streets of melancholy...

Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize.
Entre bloques de hormigón,   /   Among blocks of concrete,
somos capaces de sentir amor.  / we are able to feel love.

Das vida a mi ciudad (2nd solo by Paco Ray)

Original version "Subwaves" 2017 made with IOS Garage band, now remixed and mastered in Logic and Ozone.

Aquator 2024 (part 2)

This is a track I wrote back in 2017 using IOS GarageBand. I must confess that it's one of my favourite and that's the reason I reworked it on Logic Pro and mastered in Ozone. I only refined it here and there adding or replacing sounds in order just to sound better but to preserve the vibes and the inspiration I had at that time.
Thank ups for listening.

Talking To Myself (Acoustic)

Pipers was supposed to be part of a 'triptych' but now has ended up being a 'polyptych'...

Dall-E SUCKS as there are no explosions going on in the image, as the prompts were blocked due to "unsafe image content detected" (explosion)

Explosions were part of the track...as artists we should be able to express what we want without regard to some algorithm dictated by our 'betters"...

Pipers Into The Antideim (Part 4)

Visiting my Scottish friend Jack tonight and I reminded him of how much I loved his version of Auld lang Syne. I first heard him perform this at our local bookstore in 2020 where he and his wife, Wendy presented stories and songs together . But, this song was the one I took home in my heart, because I had never heard it sung so sweetly. I had only heard it in the bar room choir , which has its own brand of sentimental value. Ha! But, Jacks version caused me to reflect on the message of the song, which is one of friendship and renewal. I love the simple yet poignant message which we all need to be reminded of. WE all are such beautiful parts of one another's lives . I hope we can embrace this message together . Thank you for listening! Love to all ..
