phone recording :)

lyrics:  
i'd give up what my pockets hold
if you said that we could go back to where we started from 
every time i look at you
all i see is what i knew or what i thought we would become

but i watch the sun lay down once more
count the stars and dance before them befriended by the night
tiptoe up the dusty hill
the air smells sweet but sweeter still are your arms to hold me tight

told my feet they didn't have to run this time
told my heart you didn't have to just be mine
tomorrow doesn't have to change today
so hold me til i have to go away

find my things, time to move along
but came so far and stayed so long i don't wanna say goodbye now

i hope that we will meet once more
where i nest or a far off shore where your wings stop to lie down

told my feet they didn't have to run this time
told my heart you didn't have to just be mine
tomorrow doesn't have to change today
so hold me til i have to go away

hold me (til i have to go away)

about self-forgiveness, self-motivation and self-realization. i wrote it to sing to myself when i needed to get out of a funk, but perhaps you can relate to it in some way!

lyrics: 

when you can't hold up the world no more, just set it down, set it down
you made one mistake, you're gonna make some more
let it out, let it out. they picked you up, then let you fall
but trust, oh trust, you've still got it all
when your hands are shaking and your heart is cold, open up, open up
you don't have to carry what others hold, you've got enough, got enough
sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
but trust that chances always come back around
and when you think that nothing good is ever here to stay, it's time to 
fill up your mind with words that are kind and change your own today
stuck in the shadows of what you knew, just walk on by, walk on by
there are brighter moments awaiting you
so don't you hide, no don't you hide
you already fell, but how you stand is a power that 
is always in your hands
and when you think that nothing new will ever come your way 
it's time to open your heart, then you can start to pave your own way
when you can't hold up the world no more, just set it down, set it down
you made one mistake, you're gonna make some more
let it out, let it out. sometimes you cry before you smile
but trust this walk is always worth your while 

Set It Down

hmmm still working out how to play this one but i think it's done enough to share :)

lyrics: 

my ears hear you even though they don't want to
my heart would love to be beside you
but what i want isn't what you need
so i'll set you free to wherever your heart leads

i'll give you two tears but then i'm gonna smile
one for the time, another for the many miles
i'll give you two tears, but then i'm gonna smile again
it's not the end
we were lovers once but now we're friends

look too far ahead, you lose your power
but look back too long you just get sour
if what you hold in your hands doesn't feel complete
let it go so life can give you what you really need

i'll give you two tears but then i'm gonna smile
one for the time, another for the many miles
i'll give you two tears, but then i'm gonna smile again
it's not the end
we were lovers once but now we're friends

yeah, i'll think of you and smile my friend

now we're friends (two tears)

Letra y música de Joaquín Zalazar. 
Yo sólo canté "ooooo" de vez en cuando :) 

Himno De Mi Corazón- Joaquín Zalazar

esta é a minha primeira canção completa em português! perdoem o meu acento espanhol! tentei!! se há erros de gramática me podem corrigir. :) obrigada a joão gabriel por a inspiração a escrever em português e a ajuda gramatical com a primeira metade da canção!

letra: 
olhos fechados
beijos nunca dados
sonos paralisados
passos não andados
quanto mais vamos esperar? 

tiro os sapatos e os jogo ao chão
para que eles comecem uma manifestação
esta canção ja percebeu
que não pararemos os meus pés e eu
quanto mais vamos esperar
sim quanto mais? 

porque hoje vejo a necessidade
mudar minha velha mentalidade
positivas, decididas, fortes, firmes, progressivas
serão as impressões dos meus pés e eu na vida

vamos caminhando pela luz da manhã
começamos a correr
ja não temos que parar
esquecemos ontem e amanhã
os meus pés e eu sem medo de soltar

quanto mais vamos esperar? 
sim quanto mais? 

porque hoje vejo a necessidade
mudar minha velha mentalidade
positivas, decididas, fortes, firmes, progressivas
serão as impressões dos meus pés e eu na vida

se precisamos, podemos chorar
mas somente um momento 
porque a vida é para desfrutar

hoje vejo a necessidade
mudar minha velha mentalidade
positivas, decididas, fortes, firmes, progressivas
serão as impressões dos meus pés e eu
sim serão as impressões dos meus pés e eu
sim serão as impressões dos meus pés e eu na vida

em inglês: 

eyes closed
kisses never given
paralyzed dreams
steps not taken
how much longer are we gonna wait? 

i take off my shoes and throw them to the floor
so they can start a manifestation
this song already perceived 
that my feet and i will not stop
how much longer are we gonna wait? 
yes, how much longer? 

because today i see the need
to change my old mentality
positive, determined, strong, firm, progressive
will be the imprints of my feet and i in life
(it doesn't roll off the tongue so easily in english hahaha)

we go walking by the morning light
we start to run because we don't have to stop
we forget today and tomorrow
my feet and i 
without fear of letting go

how much longer...
because today i see...

if we need to, we can cry
but just for a moment
because life is for enjoying

today i see...

meus pés e eu (my feet and i)

If I never say another word
and if every word I've heard
is a lie, I can still believe in you.

If I never write another line
I won't cry. I'll be alright
knowing I'm writing a life with you. 

'Cause you're more than a song, 
more than these words, 
more than the sum 
of the melodies I've heard. 
I can't walk away. 
I just need to stay 
wrapped up in your notes
all day long. 
You're more than a song.

If I never strum another chord
I know I'd never be bored
looking in your eyes. 
Like music they stir my soul. 

If I never sing another note 
and if everything I ever wrote
up and walks away
I can lean on you and I am whole.

You're more than a song, 
more than these words, 
more than the sum 
of the melodies I've heard. 
I can't walk away. 
I just need to stay 
wrapped up in your notes
all day long. 
You're more than a song.

So turn off that radio beat. 
We can dance to the sound of our hearts.
I've never heard a music so sweet
as when I'm in your arms. 
So dance with me. 
Come on and dance with me. 

'Cause you're more than a song...

More Than a Song

An attempt to define love as an action. Complete with baby gurgles and hiccups in the background. I'd say an appropriate compliment to this definition. :-)

(Love is) What we do

i decided to use soundcloud for raw, live and/or in-progress songs. more "polished" stuff is on my website or facebook page. :)
