Description: Some loose ends that came together all at the same time. Mostly short tracks, brief and repetitive moments. It's when I began, then, trying to write and be an artist I used to be.

Ah, that voice again- smoky and beguiling - and the lovely Mark Knofler style guitar playing. Ace!

The lead guitar is so fresh to listen to. Overall great arrangement and feeling

Es una canción muy fresca y relajante, con un ritmo funky guiado por un piano excepcional (José María Berdejo)y un saxo en estado de gracia (Maiker Rivero). La canta Ana López Lorente con una sensibilidad envidiable, ensalzando un texto que cuenta lo hermosas, pero también difíciles, que son las relaciones personales.

QUISIERA

Quisiera encontrar el consuelo
amarrándome a tu cintura
quisiera alejar todo duelo
susurrándote con ternura.

Quisiera apagar este fuego (esta hoguera)
sumergiéndome en tu sollozo
quisiera dejar de estar ciego (ciega)
convirtiéndote en mi piloto.

Estribillo

Tu nombre se enreda en mis sueños
mis sueños perturban la noche
la noche me envuelve en desvelos
que tornan mis días en puro derroche.
Pero vuelvo a tu nombre, mi dueño
y, a pesar de mis sueños, ¡te quiero!.

---------

Quisiera apurar mi desvelo
acunándome en tu regazo
quisiera acabar con el miedo
estrechándote con mis brazos.

Estribillo

I'D LIKE

I would like to find consolation
tying me to your waist
I would like to remove all mourning
whispering to you tenderly

I would like to put out this fire (this bonfire)
immersing myself in your sob
I would like to stop being blind (blind)
becoming my pilot.

Chorus

Your name gets tangled in my dreams
my dreams disturb the night
the night wraps me in sleeplessness
that turn my days into pure waste.
But I return to your name, my owner
And despite my dreams, I love you!

---------

I would like to speed up my sleeplessness
cradling me in your lap
I would like to end the fear
holding you in my arms.

Chorus

En la otra orilla

En la orilla del dolor
sólo tienen frustración
y el anhelo de un mundo mejor.

En la orilla del placer
todo es poco hasta ser
el más fuerte y el que tenga el poder.

Estribillo

Desde la orilla se ve el fulgor
de la riqueza aupada en neón
que nutre la fe y la ilusión.
Todos se echan a la mar
porque piensan que tendrán
por fin un lugar para soñar.

----------------------

No se entiende que huir
del infierno es seguir
el instinto de sobrevivir.

Estribillo

Y se tienen que aguantar
si los quieren explotar
los mismos que los quieren echar.

On the other shore

On the shore of pain
they only have frustration
and the longing for a better world.

On the shore of pleasure
everything is too little until you are
the strongest and the one who has the power.

Chorus

From the shore you can see the glow
of wealth boosted in neon
that nourishes faith and illusion.
Everyone sets out to sea
because they think they will
finally have a place to dream.

----------------------

It is not understood that fleeing
from hell is following
the instinct to survive.

Chorus

And they have to put up with
if they want to exploit them
the same people who want to throw them out.

UN SOUPER LOUPÉ

C’était une froide nuit d’hiver,
Un loup sortait de sa tanière,
Quand il vit trois petits cochons
Qui s’enfuirent vers leur maison.

Quand ils arrivent à leur chaumière,
Les cochons se barricadèrent
Le loup hurla, frappa, cogna
Mais à la fin, il s’essouffla.

Refrain :
Ouh ! ouh ! méchant loup
Même si tu aimes le jambon,
Ouh ! ouh ! méchant loup
Tu n’auras pas les p’tits cochons !

Puis soudain sur le toit, des pas.
Y a quelqu’un dans la cheminée
Qui dans la marmite tomba,
Et l’invité est prisonnier.

Les cochons se mettent à danser
En attendant le bon souper.
Pendant que l’invité cuisait,
Les petits cochons rigolaient.
(refrain)

En ouvrant enfin le couvercle
Quelques cadeaux flottaient sur l’eau
Et puis deux bottes, et le chapeau
Du Père-Noël qu’on vient de perdre !

Les pauvres rennes à la fenêtre
Se d’mandaient où était leur maître
Les p’tits cochons pleuraient aussi
C’est pas gentil, mais c’est ainsi !

Refrain :
Ouh ! ouh ! méchant loup
On n’fait plus partie des gens bons
Ouh ! ouh ! méchant loup
Ils vont nous traiter d’cornichons !

Depuis ce jour on ne voit plus
Que de faux Père-Noël partout.
Et ceux qui offrent des joujoux
Sont des remplaçants, bien entendu !
(dernier refrain) (bis)

A MISSED DINNER

It was a cold winter's night,
A wolf was coming out of his den,
When he saw three little pigs
Who fled to their home.

When they arrived at their cottage,
The pigs barricaded themselves
The wolf howled, kicked and pounded
But in the end, he ran out of steam.

Refrain:
Ouh! ouh! bad wolf
Even if you like ham,
Ouh ! ouh ! bad wolf
You won't get the little pigs!

Then suddenly, on the roof, footsteps.
There's someone in the chimney
Who fell into the pot,
And the guest is a prisoner.

The pigs start dancing
Waiting for the right supper.
While the guest was cooking,
The little pigs laughed.
(refrain)

Opening the lid at last
A few presents floated on the water
And then two boots, and the hat
Of the Santa we just lost!

The poor reindeer at the window
Wondering where their master was
The little piggies cried too
It's not nice, but that's how it is!

Refrain :
Ouh! ouh! bad wolf
We're no longer good people
Ouh ! ouh ! bad wolf
They'll call us pickles!

Since that day we've seen
Fake Santa Claus everywhere.
And those who give toys
Are substitutes, of course!
(last chorus) (encore)

Higher Dose

improvisation music for the acoustic bass guitar 

Open m

Together was remixed and remastered on 11 January 2025
=========================================
[Lyrics follow}
A sweet, gentle pop song.  The original was written over 50 years ago and lost for more than 40.  It was found buried in a pile of old papers that might never have been uncovered if it wasn't for our Covid years.  This version is the first recording of the song, but it's grand entry into the world of song came when a four part harmony version (that I co-arranged with choir leader Susan Stott) was chosen by our local choir for performance.  It was a very special moment when I first heard 50 people singing a song that had only ever been sung by one person its long life.
==================================
Verse 1:
You’ve been a stream
You've been running clear
But you can’t always see the sky
You’ve been afraid of leaving home
Afraid of running dry
I’m feeling blue
And I’m missing you
I wonder where you are
I’d walk all the way
But I fear it’s much too far  

Chorus:
Together          
We’ll be together once again
Together           
Back together once again


Verse 2:
The city so strange
I’m lost in a maze but it's
All making sense somehow
It’s all a dream I’m so confused
And I’m alone for now
I’m feeling down
In this mountain town
I’m lost in something new
I think I’ll lay back
Relax and think of you   

Chorus:
Together          
We’ll be together once again
Together           
Back together once again  

Bridge:
You told me you’d be coming  home to me
But you didn’t say when   
But I’m sure it’s goin’ to all work out 
We’ll be together again

Verse 5:
If we take some time
And watch the signs
While we’re both on our own
We might pick up some dreams
And bring them all back home   

Chorus:
Together          
We’ll be together once again
Together           
Back together once again

Together

prod me ft @copics

@requiem-for-you
i guess ur all alone
i cant afford ur road to happiness
all those times i wrote to u
the words were true
but the thoughts rlly shone thru
but u didnt care enough
ur true colours came out n they're so blue
guess i didnt wear the stuff
or say the things that u wanted me to

baby take it slow
its u against the world
n i want u to know
that ur an awful girl
n i want to know
what u have to show
from all of ur efforts
but maybe u dont

@copics
So I guess we’re all alone
I can’t help but listen to your calls
You were wondering when we’d make amends but I can’t even think that far
You hate me for the hell of it it’s evident that you’re a burning star
I’ll send you a post card I’m out the door and I won’t say goodbye 

I guess you’ve changed

@requiem-for-you
i guess ur all alone
i cant afford ur road to happiness
all those times i wrote to u
the words were true
but the thoughts rlly shone thru
but u didnt care enough
ur true colours came out n they're so blue
guess i didnt wear the stuff
or say the things that u wanted me to
