This is a song about life.  It can be difficult and drab but now and then something special happens.  It's not predictable but it does happen.

The singer in this version is me, but I'm hoping one day that a real singer discovers this song and makes it their own.

Once in a While

Verse 1:
Most of my days
Lot like the day before
I’ve taught my self
Not to expect anything more
Can’t complain
All of my days are full 
But they’re not particularly
Memorable

Chorus:
But then once in a while
Comes a day  
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way back to me 

Verse 2:
There’ve been days
Living in shades of grey
Hard to know
What it was painted them that way
I’d Like to think
That every single day 
I deserve to live in joy 
But life keeps getting in my way

Chorus:
But then once in a while
Comes a day  
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way back to me 

Bridge 1:
I know it can only be once in a while
Can’t expect anything more
But the magic of that once in a while
Make it all worth waiting for

Verse 3:
I’ve heard it said
That there might be ways
To learn to live in those moments
For more of my days
But I never tried
I say it’s not my style  
But it could be I’m addicted to the magic
of once in a while

Chorus:
Once in a while
Comes a day  
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way 
Magic finds its way 
Magic finds its way back to me

Once in a While

POR UN BESO TUYO


Me siento como una fiera
al verte huyendo de mí
no me permites siquiera
sentarme cerca de ti.

Me tachas de pegajoso
porque te quiero besar
y que es el mío un acoso
que no puedes soportar.

Simplemente te diré
que el amor es otra cosa
que el fantasma del ayer
pesa en ti como una losa.

Por un beso tuyo
por tenerte cerca
por abrir la puerta
de tu corazón
detendría el mundo
mataría el miedo
besaría el cielo
por su comprensión.

Por un beso tuyo,
ese que aún no has dado
porque lo has guardado
muy dentro de ti,
abriría un surco
en mi pensamiento,
sembraría aliento
para proseguir.	

Me acusas de teatrero
de  despreciar la moral
de anidar en mi cerebro
el gran pecado mortal

Simplemente te diré
que no soy un perturbado:
mi único pecado es...
es quererte demasiado.

Por Un Beso Tuyo (versión instrumental)

I Do It My Way

I just want to give the track a little more dynamic. Love to hear your comments.

Tiro Como Puedo (Prod. peril)

Your eyes are loaded guns
They're calm and aimed for their mark
Your hands are tender ones 
Stretched out to find me in the dark

Go slow, move faster
This thing's got us by our throats
There's no goodbyes
Good enough to save us from ourselves
Honey, why does it feel like I've seen you before 

Did I dream you before I met you?             
I swear I've seen you before
It's your smile or maybe your eyes
That I can see at your door
Crying no, don't go
In that sweet Kentucky rain

Your lips are salty sweet
I can taste them if I close my eyes
Then I see you in the passenger seat
My hand is between your thighs

Let's dance some more
While we still have the dance floor
This thing's bittersweet
Like your taste that lingers in my throat
Honey, why does it feel like I've been here before 

Did I dream you before I met you?             
I swear I've seen you before
It's your smile or maybe your eyes
That I can see at your door
Crying no, don't go
In that sweet Kentucky rain

Can I stay a little while longer with you here in your arms?
I know I said I had to go home but the night can still be young
Let's dance a little while longer tonight until the morning comes
Maybe in our next lives we'll able to see the rise of each sun

Did I dream you before I met you?             
I swear I've seen you before
It's your smile or maybe your eyes
That I can see at your door
Crying no, don't go
In that sweet Kentucky rain

Here we are, in our next lives
Here we are, in our next lives

Sweet Kentucky Rain

The game jam on Itch calls for a theme evoking 'moments before disaster' so the thought is some action movie sequence before something is going to blow up or some such.

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
