Embrace the Storm (2025) – Facing new beginnings
Embrace the Storm is a powerful symphonic metal song about facing changes. Driven by heavy riffs, soaring choirs and operatic vocals, this song captures the raw chaos of transformation like staring into the heart of a storm, a sense of something breaking apart to make way for something new. Are you ready to cast off the weight of the past and give yourself into the storm?

Iluso de mí.

Ya ha pasado bastante tiempo
desde que fui tu pasatiempo
hoy no quiero ni siquiera recordar
los días vividos en aquel lugar.

Creo que no me querías
y aunque lo presentía,
no sé por qué te adoraba;
creo me despreciabas
pero si me mirabas
todo se me olvidaba.

¡Ay, qué iluso que fui!
pensé que lo importante
de esta vida era amarse
pero esto no así
porque hay muchas más cosas
que todo lo condicionan
y hay que hacerlas porque sí.

Yo creía que era tu amigo
y no pasé de conocido
pues muy pronto tu orgullo afloró
y con él ¡cómo no! tu reputación.

Creo que te divertías
sin duda a costa mía
junto a tus buenas amigas;
creo también que sufrías
porque sé que era envidia
lo que muy dentro sentías.

¡Ay, qué iluso que fui!
envidia de mi mundo
tan diferente al tuyo
tan presente para mí
que impidió que me saliera
por unas cuantas monedas
con su ayuda te vencí.

Fool that I was.

It's been a long time
since I was your hobby
today I don't even want to remember
the days we lived in that place.

I think you didn't love me
and although I sensed it,
I don't know why I adored you;
I think you despised me
but if you looked at me
I forgot everything.

Oh, how foolish I was!
I thought the important thing
in this life was to love each other
but not so
because there are many more things
that determine everything
and you have to do them just because.

I thought I was your friend
and I didn't go beyond being an acquaintance
because very soon your pride surfaced
and with it, of course! your reputation.

I think you were having fun
no doubt at my expense
with your good friends;
I also think you were suffering
because I know it was envy
that you felt deep inside.

Oh, how foolish I was!
Envy of my world
so different from yours
so present to me
that it prevented me from leaving
for a few coins
with its help I defeated you.

Into the Abyss (Clean Version) (2025) – Calling out fake friends
At some point in life, we all come across fake friends, who pretend to care and drag you into the abyss. The lyrics channel the raw frustration of being used, betrayed and misled. "Into The Abyss" is a cathartic scream for justice, a metalcore song that pulls no punches, when it comes to calling out toxic people.
The Clean Version is made for radio stations and playlists that don't accept harsh curses.

Expired

Para escuchar la versión original  https://soundcloud.com/juan-fco-bueno/quiero-ir-a-alaskaversion-original-ver-texto

Quiero ir a Alaska

Era un día después de puente
y se oía gritar a Vicente:
venga chavales, menos hablar
que ya es lunes y hay que trabajar.

En una mesa Chupito a Juan
le comentaba la gran novedad:
hay que ir a Alaska a reglar un rodillo 
y quieren que vaya con el abuelito.
Ilusionado el joven Chupito 
cantaba así.

Estribillo

Quiero ir a Alaska con Abraham
Quiero ir a Alaska con el Herrera
Quiero ir a Alaska con el Aznar
Quiero ir a Alaska con el que sea.

Quiero ir a Alaska con el Ramón
Quiero ir a Alaska con el Fortea
Quiero ir a Alaska con Pasamón 
Quiero ir a Alaska con el que sea.


-----------   

Chupito soñaba con ese viaje
y le pedía el permiso a su padre
que extrañado, antes de dar
el visto bueno, se fue a comprobar.

Ya en la empresa osó preguntar
¿es fantasía o realidad?
no había viaje ni había rodillo
sólo la broma de un listillo.
Desilusionado el pobre Chupito
clamaba así.

Estribillo 

I Want to Go to Alaska

It was the day after a long weekend
and Vicente could be heard shouting:
Come on, kids, stop talking
because it's Monday and we have to work.

At a table, Chupito was telling Juan
the big news:
we have to go to Alaska to fix a rolling pin
and they want me to go with Grandpa.
Excited, young Chupito
sang like this.

Chorus

I want to go to Alaska with Abraham
I want to go to Alaska with Herrera
I want to go to Alaska with Aznar
I want to go to Alaska with whoever.

I want to go to Alaska with Ramón
I want to go to Alaska with Fortea
I want to go to Alaska with Pasamón
I want to go to Alaska with whoever.

-----------

Chupito dreamed of that trip
and asked his father for permission
who, surprised, went to check before giving
the go-ahead.

Once at the company, he dared to ask
Is it fantasy or reality?
There was no trip, nor was there a rolling pin,
just a clever kid's joke.
Disillusioned, poor Chupito
cried out like this.

Chorus

Quiero ir a Alaska

This song is part of a mini musical theatre album... with more to come. Working with the amazingly talented Axel is always a huge pleasure and inspiration.… and he is just so good 😊 Grateful for the listens, please enjoy!!! 🙏 https://soundcloud.com/axel-m-501052973

Blood

Your scent is moonlight on the wind
A promise wrapped in trembling skin
I hold you close, but not too near
For what I want is what you fear

You breathe like fire beneath restraint
Your touch is warm, your world is faint
And though your lips could steal my soul
I’d give you all, and not feel cold

You shine where I can never go
But still I linger in your glow
If love means letting go of fire
Then let us rise above desire

Blood is calling from below
Blood is more than I should know
Blood would turn the night to me
But love… wants more than destiny
Blood is silence wrapped in sound
But love is where we won’t be bound

I've tasted death in every shade
But nothing made me feel this way
You made the world turn soft and slow
And showed me things I’ll never know

You gave me truth without disguise
A world of pain beneath your eyes
But I can't live with what you are
Even love can’t cross that scar

I want you…
I know...
I need you…
But we can’t...
So hold me once, then let me go
Don’t drink the love we’ve come to know

Blood is beating like a drum
Blood is where we both came from
Blood could bind me to your name
But love is not a thing to tame
Blood may sing, may plead, may flood…
But not tonight, not with blood

If I must live without your flame
Then I will carry still your name
If I must walk into the day
I’ll dream you home some other way
Some love survives,
survives in broken light
But not tonight…

Not with blood!

Hyacinth

Being musician and artist "since ages", the last two decades and all the developments in digital music broadened my interests and activities in doing music actively and passively. Not being shy of any genre (OK, leave off some Punk and Extreme Metal derivates) I engage in composing, arranging, mixing and collaborating. 

Oh, and I do all my artwork and designs as well. And as you may notice I regard AI as a friendly helper.

Have a few looks & listens into my repertoire and eventually gain some insights. I'm always open for collabs if the the interests match ...
