=============================
傘があれば / If only I had an umbrella
=============================

君の　傍に
佇むひとはだれ？

想いの　限り
呼ぶ声さえ遠い


言葉にしないと　伝わらないと君
言葉にすれば　嘘に霞むと僕


だれの　ために
今宵道を照らす？

想いの　限り
手を振るひとをみた


言葉にしないと　伝わらないと君
言葉にすれば　嘘に霞むと僕


翼が　あれば
君のもとへ行こう

傘が　あれば
君に傾けよう


君の　傍に
佇むひとはだれ？

想いの　限り
呼ぶ声さえ遠い


想いの　限り
呼ぶ声さえ遠い

傘があれば / If only I had an umbrella

On May 13, 2015, my brother-in-law Eduardo Fortuny Loret de Mola was killed in a road accident, to the great sorrow of all who knew and loved him, in particular his widow and two sons. I wrote this song in the aftemath of his all too soon passing away, but the time never seemed right to try and record it ... until now, when Enna, his wife, read the lyrics and expressed her wish to hear a recorded version. It would also have been his 60th birthday this year. I took both as a sign that it was time, and thanks to the monumental musical and production abilities of Sergio Aguilar, not to mention the wonderful backing vocals of Beto Quintero, here it is.

The song, needless to say, but I will say it, is dedicated to Eduardo, and all who loved him.

Hallelujah is a transliteration of Hebrew: הַלְלוּ (hallū yāh), which means "praise ye Jah!" (from הַלְלוּ‎, "praise ye!" [8] and יָהּ‎, "Jah".)[9][10][11] The word hallēl in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah in modern English).
~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah

“In traditional Christian thought, the final transition from life on earth to life in heaven is symbolized by crossing the Jordan River."
~ https://jesusway4you.com/2020/06/24/signs-and-symbols-of-the-bible-jordan-river/

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.”
― Kahlil Gibran, artist and poet.

"The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on."
~ Irving Berlin, songwriter.

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
~ Terry Pratchett, English author.

Lyrics
Last night I dreamed my brother strode with Jesus by his side
With heavenly strength to move them on, they walked the ocean tide
I cried, “Dear brother, hold your haste, we all must journey home.”
“Jordan calls me,” was all he said, I knew myself alone
I knew myself alone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Last night I dreamed my brother rode in tandem with James Dean
Along the streets and the highways that to this world are unseen
I cried, “Dear brother, promise me, you’ll meet me when I come.”
He smiled his smile, and raised his hand, I felt my world undone
I felt my world undone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

And take me over Jordan, see my brother walk upon its shore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Yeah, take me over Jordan, for I am tired and so heartsore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

I Dreamed I Saw My Brother

Buy on Bandcamp

I Dreamed I Saw My Brother  5 Stars rating; Commended Entry; UK Songwriting Contest, 2023

I couldn’t release any new song for a long time because of a long Covid (maybe..)
For this song I have already recorded my guitar and vocals in last December, but all the arrangements , mixing and mastering is just finished. It took too much time though, I can say that I did my best for all the process. And so I’ll be very happy if you listen and enjoy it.
Sazanka is a name of winter flower often seen anywhere in Japan. I love to see the flowers falling on the ground like snow flakes. It makes me think of our life time and all the beautiful gifts from the nature.

Lyrics

Flowers, blowing wind
Flowing over my head
Slip inside ,Break me down
I see you, how once we, lately again

But I hope you remember me 
There are leaves falling on
Still my eyes keep on (the ) flow
Couldn’t take my eyes off, All…

When we’re outside into the shadows
Fall on ground
She left behind away
 I missing you all alone
 In the world
                    
When we’re outside into the shadows
 Fall on ground
 She never find your way
 I missing you all alone
 
  I missing , dreaming, over over again

Sazanka

IT WAS SOMETHING YOU SAID
IT WAS THE THINGS WE DID
THAT PUSHED THE TRAIN OFF THE RAILS
NEVER TO BE BACK AGAIN
NEVER TO BE BACK AGAIN

NOW SEPARATE WE SAIL
I BET IT’S HARD TO TELL
WHICH ONE TO BLAME 
FOR WHAT HAPPENED HERE 
STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED HERE

YOU COULD THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL         
BUT IT’S NOT LONG BEFORE WE FALL           
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
IT WANTS IT ALL

IS YOUR BOAT STILL FLOATING
CAUSE MINE IS SINKING

I THOUGHT I WAS THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL
BUT IT WASN’T  LONG BEFORE I STALLED               
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
I THOUGHT I WAS THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL
BUT IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE I STALLED            
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS  
THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
IT WANTS IT ALL

As i traveled around the uk and europe in the summer of 2023
i became aware of how people use the power of dance to express them selfs and entertain .
I filmed and captured the moments of this and turned it into this song and a music video ,it kinda has a global message of freedom too in the lyrics and i ask the question the more they take away the things we enjoy the more people will find a way to celebrate and try and enjoy life.

A couple thinks about the decisions they made during their life: some of the paths they  walked with dificulty, a few roads left unexplored. Also, their childhood, challenges they faced, the life they had together, the break-up, regrets they had and nostalgia.What were it like if each of them would have chosen different ways of doing things? We have always paths that we did not walk on and we keep asking ourselves:"What were it like if we had gone the other way?"
