Excellent as always ! Congratulations ! It sounds so great !

I felt a frisson, a presence, as she passed me; “never fall behind” she said
Blue eyes, yeah china blue; or green maybe 
The silhouette of a crown was it? Or of his fine hair on a perfect head
I lost them in the dream; never saw them again
 
Green on blue, he flashed by me; Kingfisher
She’s chimera, he’s quicksilver; Arcadia dancers 
She passes by like a mayfly; sweet Calista
You reach and fall, you try and call; they don’t answer
   
These were different, seven years on, but it felt the same
They stood and looked me in the eye, and I could only stare
Felt like honey kisses, like the remembered bliss of a dream
Felt like a lost love, then they were gone; if they were ever there

Green on blue, he flashed by me; Kingfisher
She’s chimera, he’s quicksilver; Arcadia dancers 
She passes by like a mayfly; sweet Calista
You reach and fall, you try and call; they don’t answer

Seven times seven years, waiting and waiting long 
I sensed them in the twilight, in the half conscious fall into dream time
This time I was ready, I had waited for them through the long years
I reached and touched her hair, ephemeral in the sun

Green on blue, he flashed by me; Kingfisher
She’s chimera, he’s quicksilver; Arcadia dancers 
She passes by like a mayfly; sweet Calista
You reach and fall, you try and call; they don’t answer

Kingfisher and Calista

Esperando el alba

Perfil Flamenco (zapateado)

This song was written during a hard time and from a bad place. It's about how when you have nothing left you know exactly what you want.

"Only the weak can feel so strong"

---
I find relief when I think about the end
When time stops and there’s no such thing as when
I find peace when my breathing starts to slow
It feels good to hope that no one ever knows

It’s just one less thing to believe in
It’s just one last thing to be feeling 

I don’t feel regret when I think about the past
And I don’t wish time wouldn’t move so fast
I feel anxious when I think of what to say
When eyes meet but mine just look away

It’s just one less thing to believe in
It’s just one last thing to be feeling 
All the guilt I receive and
All the hope that you’re stealing
It’s just one last thing to believe in

I had so much faith in what was wrong
It made everyday feel twice as long
Only the weak can feel so strong

It’s just one less thing to believe in

One Less Thing

Heart In The Room

Across the room oblivious
You dance like when you kiss
In that moment impetuous
Freeform and meaningless
You are in outer space - juiced by rocket fuel
An actress on a stage - just for the thrill

And here I am silently craving
Behind my eyes I’m going crazy
Cause I’m connecting
With a runaway downhill train 
Who don’t know what she does
I’m tied to the tracks - depending on you    
To open your mind - and hear the heart in the room  

I know that there’s a part of you                                                                                                                                That syncs with the whole of me
But I need your full attention
Give your mind that liberty
Cause you might find that you - feel just like I do
And all that synchrony - can fly us to the moon

Yes here I am silently craving . . .

Nothing like connection
A coupling eye to eye
Hearts beating one on one

Heart In The Room

LYRICS:

You think you got it figured out, but you don't
You think it's all under control, but it's not
Uh huh
It's not a joke when your world is burning down
You had it coming as it always comes around

Who's laughing now?
You'll always get yours long as I'm around
Who's laughing now?
You'll always get yours long as I'm around

You think you got the best of me, but you don't
You think that you will get ahead, but you won't
Uh huh
It's not so funny when you fall by your own hand
It's not a conversation that you'd understand

Who's laughing now?
You'll always get yours long as I'm around
Who's laughing now?
You'll always get yours long as I'm around

Who's Laughing Now?

it was said to open the doors of perception but in some cases doors were closed permanently.

Peacocks swagger. This song swaggers like a peacock. Part 2.  A couple of hours playing around with some loops, pitch shifts and effects.

Rooted in the traditions of flamenco, guitarist Benjamin Barrile prefers to speak through his instrument, expressing emotion without words. A remarkable soloist, Benjamin also excels as both accompanist and composer. His compositions are dynamic and progressive without straying too far from Spanish gypsy tradition that stretches back hundreds of years. 
In 2000 Benjamin set off to Spain for the first time, a country that had long captivated his imagination, in search of flamenco and what would be the most significant journey of his life so far. He travelled to one of the major centres of flamenco in Spain today, Jerez de la Frontera, where he studied under many great maestros. Back home in Toronto, Benjamin attributes a significant portion of his flamenco guitar skills and compositional training to Miguel de la Bastide. In recent years, Benjamin has recorded for many artists, including Tamar Ilana & Ventanas, David Buchbinder, The Café Olé, and Gustaü & Puente del Diablo. In addition to leading his own project, Benjamin is also a resident guitarist at Toronto based Esmeralda Enrique Spanish Dance Company and Compañia Carmen Romero. Benjamin is also the recipient of two Dora Mavor Moore Awards for Outstanding Sound Design/Composition, one of which he shares with flamenco guitarist Caroline Planté. He also has a 2020 Canadian Folk Music Award nominee for Instrumental Solo Artist of the Year.
Benjamin's debut album 'Esperando el Alba' ('Waiting for Dawn') reflects upon his long and arduous battle with musician's focal dystonia, an all too often career-ending neurological condition for many musicians.
