This song belongs in a movie. It’s about a young sailor who meets a girl from a world far from his. This was the relationship that formed me artistically. It is meeting the right person at the right time to get you to where you are today.

I Need to Know If You're Happy Now

I Need to Know If You're Happy Now By Dave Hanrahan 🌎 Music

LIMÓN

Recargo mi hombro y observo de lado,
todo se crecía, extremos el cielo, mi espalda, el espacio.
Mi izquierda, su todo que se iba y volvía,
aprieta y libera justo en el momento
que viene y se aleja de un golpe tan brusco
que mueve la tierra cuando me volteo,
lo siento, lo siento limón.

From deep down in the swamps a band arises.

Catfish Crawl

This is a song about forgiveness. 

Years ago a friend's father had died. He was deeply upset because he couldn't bring himself to respect his father saying that he'd failed as a father. It was clear that he did not believe that his father had done his best. I said 'maybe not, but he probably did the best he knew how". That phrase made a difference to my friend and, perhaps, allowed him to look at his father in a different way. It stuck with me ever since.

This is also my story and possibly every parent's story. We all fail to some extent. We all could have done better and wish we had. But we all did what we knew to do. We can only hope that it was enough.

Verse 1:
We started talking about nothing at all
we shared a bit of something and I started to fall
A little bit in love I guess I answered a call
Made her more than a friend

So we got married in a rush of youth
Feeling so free, playing fast and loose
I always meant well you know that's the truth
But I stuffed it up in the end

Chorus:
Wish I could say that I did my best
But it's simply not true
I could have done a whole lot better
If I'd known what to do
I did as much as who I was at the time would allow
I'd like to think that whatever I did I did the best that I knew how

Verse 2:
We brought you home your mum and me
You entered our house turned two into three
So I went to work thought my job was to be
Bringing home big buckets of security

Who knew back then what a father should be
Who knew what a little boy or girl might need
I learned too late what I needed to see
More than anything you needed more of me.

Chorus:
Wish I could say that I did my best
But it's simply not true
I could have done a whole lot better
If I'd known what to do
I did as much as who I was at the time would allow
I'd like to think that whatever I did I did the best that I knew how

Bridge (omitted from this version):
That's not to say that I didn't try
That's all I ever did and that's no lie
If I didn't live up to the standards I had
I never thought that I was doing all that bad
The only life I've known has been in my own skin
I've never been the man I wish I'd been

Chorus:
Wish I could say that I did my best
But it's simply not true
I could have done a whole lot better
If I'd known what to do
I did as much as who I was at the time would allow
I'd like to think that whatever I did I did the best that I knew how

The Best

HAY SOL EN EL DESIERTO 

https://youtu.be/VNR5wlM59q4

"Vea que yo soy de Tlanchinol,
ahí yo me amarrarro, me sacarro, 
ellos, ellos, 
vea que yo voy a cambiar así na'
con mis zapatos de México, na'má". 

Es ayer, era hoy,
alumbrasteme, acuérdate:
polen, flores, hay sol en el desierto.

Será ayer, fue mañana,
arrancasteme, acuérdate:
polen, flores, cactus en el desierto.

No es ayer, no era hoy,
ausentasteme, acuérdate:
polen, flores, hay sol en el desierto.

Love me Blender

An instrumental journey above frozen cliffs and quiet skies.
‘Mountain Song’ carries the feeling of standing on a lone snowy peak —
the calm, the wind, and the echo of a guitar drifting through the mountains
