Spanish Lyrics - to be sung in harmony to the main melody.

"Sus Ojos En La Luz" (Spanish version of Shooting Star)

Cuando estaba sucediendo me* 
Aquella sonriendo me 
Sus ojos en la luz 

Cuando estaba sucediendo me 
Aquella sonriendo me 
Cabellos en la luz 

Como entraste a mi vida? 
Yo se que nunca olvidare 
Yo se, que siempre te querido, Aunque tu
Anque olvides mi amor
Amor sin fin 

Cuando estaba sucediendo me
Aquella sonriendo me 
Sus ojos en la luz

Cuando entraste a mi vida 
Todo cambio pa lo mejor 
Yo se, yo estaba decidido, Darte at ti
todo, si todo mi amor 
Amor sin fin 

Cuando estaba sucediendo me
Aquella sonriendo me 
Sus ojos en la luz

Pero, un dia mi di de cuenta, 
Que tu voz y cara, no dice la verdad, 
Que tus ojos, que siempre se alumbraban, ver me ami, 
Se alumbran, cuando miran otro mas, 
Rechazando mi amor

Cuando estaba sucediendo me
Aquella sonriendo me 
Sus ojos en la luz

Ya se que nunca me quisiste, que todo fue 
Falso, sin amor y compasion, aun-que
Yo se que nunca te faltaba, que te di
Todo, si, todo mi amor 
Amor sin fin

Cuando estaba sucediendo me
Aquella sonriendo me 
Sus ojos en la luz

En la luz
En la luz
En la luz
En la luz

New song called "Flow". Just a sample of it. The left hand are the two heartbeats beating as one. The melody is all the love that can be expressed in music that I know of or am capable of. © 2016 Alex Gimenez. All Rights Reserved. Songs like this are written only once in a lifetime. Lyrics written in Spanish (some in English), and sung in counterpoint harmony to the main melody coming soon.

"Flow" (Lyrics) (c) 2016 Alex Gimenez. (Spanish title "Es Así")

Cuando
Cuando
La encuentras
Y estas feliz

Y la tienes
Y lo sientes
Y te quiere
No la dejes ir

Es

Es una cosa milagrosa
Encontrarla tan hermosa
Que no le cabe en ella
Estar sin ti

Es así

La vida es corta pero larga
Cuando se llena con las llamas
De un amor
Que ya no tiene fin

Es así

Enseñale lo que es
Ser dos seres que son
Destinado llegar al fin

Ser feliz

Enamorados son dos
Que, son, juntos 
y que no tienen
que estar por el mundo
sin lo que se ama
y sin que le falte los dos

Note: This piece is written for two pianos. What you're hearing is the first piano which by itself is a great song. With piano number two punched, coming soon, you hear the full piece.

What are we gonna do now?
Now that we know that life
ain't some romantic play.

You live your life
thinking all these things are true.
But then one day,
It just cuts your heart in two.

What are we gonna do now?
Now that we know that life
Ain't some romantic play?

That we feel their heart
Beating in our arms at night
And that we can't let go
And walk off into the night

Even when,
When you tried to make them stop
You cried yourself to sleep
With your eyes closed
In the dark

There are some things
That you just can't win against
No matter how much you love,
No matter how much try, to make it real for them

What are you gonna do now?
Now that you know that life
Ain't some romantic play?

When waking up should be
another day of love and life
But you spend another day
another empty day without them till the night

What I am gonna do now?
Now that I know that life
Ain't some romantic play?


The piece is written in the key of C#

Life Ain't Some Romantic Play (Unplugged) © 2018  Alejandro Raul Gimenez. All Rights Reserved.

To the places you never forget. What the sound of peace and wonder is like at sunrise and sunset on Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island. Composed while visiting Amelia Island.

The good times, hard times, bad times, and everything in between... and the times to come.... all in music. Dedicated to the three of us as brothers, but to Ralph most of all (in the center). Rest in Peace. © 2018 Alejandro R. Gimenez

Recuerdos (de mi Hermano)

Technical: Zoom H1N digital recording. Yamaha Montage 8 keyboard -loaned to me for this and other recordings at the time. Written and performed by Alex Gimenez.

Shooting Star - Unplugged

Practicing the lost art of classical improvisation.  Classical improvisation was once the widely practiced cornerstone of classical composition and how classical composers played their own pieces themselves.  They improvised those too. No two performances were ever quite the same.  And so, improvisation was a part of classical performances. Mozart, Beethoven and Liszt were all virtuoso improvisers whose concerts often included ad-lib fantasies and spontaneous variations on themes called out by their audiences. In my case, I’m not sure how I’m able do it but I can.  Improvised when I recorded it on the first take. I don’t very much care the classical purists, particularly classical music professors, are unaware that this is a legitimate lost art they maybe never learned or want to teach as it’s an all but forgotten part of what could be a more complete classical curriculum. All of my copyrighted music is right here in one place for you to enjoy. Many of them were recorded live as I composed them on the spot and played them on the spot on the first take. I’m classically trained but not much bound by the classical instruction straitjacket of “we don’t improvise”. All rights reserved.
