I am so excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón.

Para Que Tú Me Oigas (Letras de Pablo Neruda)

Para que tú me oigas mis palabras
se adelgazan a veces
como las huellas de las gaviotas en las playas.
                                                                                                                                  Y las miro lejanas mis palabras.
Más que mías son tuyas.
Van trepando en mi viejo dolor como las yedras..                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                            Ahora quiero que digan lo que quiero decirte                                                                                              para que tú me oigas cómo quiero que me oigas. 

Llanto de viejas bocas, sangre de viejas súplicas.                                                                              Ámame compañera. No me abandones. Sígueme.                                                                           Sígueme, compañera, en esa ola de angustia. 

Pero se van tiñendo con tu amor mis palabras.                                                                                       Todo lo ocupas tú, todo lo ocupas. 

So that you will hear Me (Lyrics by Pablo Neruda)                                                                                          

So that you will hear me
my words
Sometimes grow thin
As the tracks of the gulls on the beaches. 
And I watch my words from a long way off.                                                                                           They are more yours than mine.                                                                         They climb on my old suffering like ivy. 
Now I want them to say what I want to say to you to make you hear as I want you to hear me.

Lament of old mouths, blood of old supplications.                                                                                             Love me, companion. Don’t forsake me. Follow me.                                                                                      Follow me, companion, on this wave of anguish. 

But my words become stained with your love.                                                                                                     You occupy everything, you occupy everything.

Para Que Tú Me Oigas

Plucking and combing through ideas, creating neverending daydreams -- is it artful, or just nonsense?
The imagination runs wild, for most of us; that of a young one runs even wilder.

A plethora of themes streak across this final tune from the first 9 songs of The Hungry Pyknic. Although many of the characters in the song are exclusive to the story (currently unfolding and being written as we speak) comprising Toxic Fever Dreams -- taking place in the mind of a young human being who doesn't quite understand the capabilities of their mental prowess or how to reign it in, whilst they are away from home -- the story concludes such themes pervading all of the songs. Until Toxic Fever Dreams, almost all of the songs' narratives remain inconclusive in their telling, but not their message. However, TFD succeeds in wrapping The Front Nine up in a blanket of surety, but only out of surfeit does this song vindicate disparate and urgent human qualities constantly in states of ebbing and flowing, degeneration and metamorphosis, ever-spinning and never really truly stopping for a moment's notice.
What should one notice? Just ask the Fishmen.


Lyrics:

Hey hey goldfish man
Where is the bright side?
Sonus is king and he's done
Done with his pride.
Drama has gone to sing for
Co-Captain John.
Rosalina DeMayo's song
Took far too long.

Paul says he is Love
This I just shove.
Together in itself
But my mind's on a shelf.
Ohh what a Tangled-up Iron Mountain
Tent I have been.
So much for Hamlet's scene.

Us dancing in The Brushes 
Better luck in the past.
A captain travels there in May
As the Fishmen say 'heyehey'.
I could come with me to the sea
Don't know why...
We all got just a little
A little bit high.

Speckles to sound,
But the Ominous Game can tell.
After the Fame nothing could 
Compare.
As I'm sitting here in
My White Plastic Chair,
I can hear the rain, hear the rain
Here the rain yell and swear.
Hear the rain yell and swear.

Ready to start again
Like Mister School.
Didn't know I Woke upon the
Right Side of the Bed.
Single in strength
Hey Sam, hello hello --
As Cyrus says:
"The Gunman is Here Right Now!"

Some things are better to come!
Some things I'm about to know!
I have her in my room:
Mary's in my room,
And Joe is in the rain.
Joe is in the rain
Joe is in the rain
Better watch whatcha say!

I don't see the Raven 
Anymore.
All I see is 
Castle Mountain Faces.
Hey man, hello hello
See the Spark, Shoot the Lark.
Joe and Mary, look at me
I'm the one you want to be!

This is My dream.
Welcome to My dream.
Oh Toxic Fever Dreams,
Set me Free!

Our present to you

Merry Christmas from The Conover's

Grabado en 2024    
Me acosté                                   Em-B5
Y entonces desperté                F#5-A5
En la luz 
Reze en un ataúd 
Ya no hay más 
Menos mal 
Ahí abajo 
Ya no veré los rayos 
Pero igual                                  D-Em
La máscara caerá                    A5-F#5
Cuando está 
Casi nada es real 
Son los pies 
No dejo de mover
No es tan tarde 
No se si perderé

Space Laser

I saw the space laser

Their creed drove them to
Do desperate deeds
In the name of love?

I saw the space laser

People created a God
To justify their killing

People
People 
Please
Stop the violence

People 
People
Please
Choose Good not Evil

I saw the space laser

There is no God
How could there be?
God is Love
And there isn’t any

Hatred and greed
Just build walls
We needed a god that loved us all

Instead 
we have weapons
Of mass destruction

I hope I die fast
In the morning
Under cloudy skies
that’s my vibe.

I love my planet

Lyrics:
[verse 1]
In my soul, 
a longing burned,
A dream, a passion, 
my heart yearned.
To weave words, 
to paint with my pen,
A poet's journey, 
no end.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[verse 2]
Through doubt and fear, 
I found my way,
With each verse, 
my soul would say.
Seeking connection, 
making whole,
Pouring out 
from deep within my soul.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

Through doubt and fear, 
I found my way,
With each verse, 
my soul would say.
Seeking connection, 
making whole,
Pouring out 
from deep within my soul.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[Bridge]
Wandering, 
seeking a new muse,
Finding solace 
where nature infused.
At the edge, 
where land meets sea,
Cosmos whispers, 
inspiring me.

[verse 3]
I gazed at the stars, 
in their timeless embrace,
And realized my purpose, 
my unique place.
A single note 
in the symphony of life,
Contributing beauty, 
amid struggle and strife.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[outro]
Embrace passions, 
embrace dreams,
Dance in moonlight, 
where magic gleams.
Life's a canvas, 
awaiting art,
Dreams are whispers, 
igniting the heart.

Sometimes the mind can spawn conflicts, battles that you have to fight. Sometimes the battles are like fighting monsters. 
Those monsters can and always will be defeated if you stay true to yourself.

In "Noah's Going to Bring the Flood," Bobby Clayton weaves a compelling narrative that explores themes of turmoil, hope, and rebirth through the lens of a modern-day flood allegory. The song opens with an introspective verse that captures the pain and struggles of the human experience. Clayton's lyrics evoke a sense of urgency, as he implores listeners to stop the cycle of hurt and conflict, highlighting the need for healing in a world fraught with division. 

As the song progresses, the chorus serves as a powerful and anthemic rallying cry, repeating the assertion that "Noah's going to bring the flood." This phrase symbolises a cleansing force, suggesting that change is inevitable and perhaps even necessary for growth and renewal. The imagery of Noah, a figure synonymous with survival and new beginnings, resonates deeply, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys toward freedom and redemption. 

In the second verse, Clayton juxtaposes the choices we face—whether to build a mansion or an ark—calling attention to the paths we can take in the face of adversity. The lyrics delve into the idea of divine creation and the consequences of living in doubt, emphasising that we must confront our fears and embrace the unknown. The notion of swimming until the end reinforces the importance of resilience and hope, encouraging listeners to hold onto their dreams even in challenging times. 

Musically, the song blends elements of folk and rock, featuring an upbeat rhythm that complements the hopeful message of the lyrics. Clayton's passionate vocals and evocative storytelling create an engaging listening experience, leaving audiences inspired and reflective. "Noah's Going to Bring the Flood" is not just a song; it's a call to action, urging us to rise above our struggles and prepare for the transformative tides ahead.

Noahs Going to Bring the Flood

Original composition-jam. All instruments by me, all brass is played with breath controller, the guitar line is me on real guitar.
Honestly I had no idea how to name the piece, the fun image was nice because of the 50s touch and the alien element :-) This is how the title came about. ... ‘wow, you have little heads. ... but nice hats’ ... that's how I imagine the conversation to start :-D
