The Journey

Angels - David Longoria - Radio Version 2017

You started with a single cell meeting another single cell, then multilying in doubles until you became who you are. Musically Genesis takes you on that in a cinematic way through the representation of rhythm and melody. The trumpet plays one note, then two, then 4, 8, 16, 32 and so forth. After a bit the development leads to a moment where the heart begins to beat. The theme becomes identifiable as a unique entity which is the soul and essence of you.

Genesis

Playground brings the simplicity of childhood and the fun frolic of youth to the musical journey. As at home in a childlike setting as in a nightclub focusing on let-your-hair-down fun, this catchy tune will make you smile and reminisce of younger carefree days.

Playground

When little boys discover mermaids, they fall in love. Little girls want to be mermaids. Boys find that mermaids are more beautiful than themselves and are very dangerous as well. This fantasy takes you into the world of the mythical creatures of beauty and allure. To the caves of their undersea lives and into the hierarchy of their world. There is a melody that clearly represents the king of the sea as well as conversation between mermaids and someone in teh outerworld who works to communicate with these seductive creatures.

Mermaids

Never Give Up! The line between success and failure involves the ability to persevere past where others give up. Be encouraged. As the great Quincy Jones once told me. "Keep on keeping on."

Never Give Up

If you start a business, or take a new class, or try new relationships, sports, hobbies or take on anything enviable, you will likely encounter the phenomenon of Dodging Arrows. Careful!

Dodging Arrows

Talented Grammy winning South African flautist Wouter Kellerman is featured on a beautiful flute solo in this song about enjoying all that this life has to offer. David Longoria intertwines classical and jazz melodies and phrasing to create this classic and familiar sound, all while making a fresh and groundbreaking instrumental piece. Take a few minutes and enjoy!

The Good Life

Enough is never enough. If one is good two are better. Then twelve must be great. For all the tendencies we have in our nature to overly endulge in things we enjoy, this song takes it to a musical place. Robert Eibach starts the song with his club hook and beat. Guitarist Ariel shows her remarkable stuff with a very edgy screaming electric guitar performance that plays well with others- namely singers Katie Shorey and Andie Sandoval, together known as the electric pop duo Stiletto. The song builds to a head to head conversation of over the top performing from Ariel on the guitar and David on the trumpet.

Decadence

Funky and very fun, this song is all about feeling good. When you got a hot new outfit you got some swagger. When you know you are killing it you got it. Crank it up and enjoy the hard hitting dance groove as it meets funky performances from David Longoria on the trumpet, bass icon Duane Smitty Smith and the funkiest guitarist on the planet- Funky Gemi Taylor. Don't miss Smitty's awesome slapping bass solo. Listen twice in a row and you will walk taller and more confidently. Yes. of course it's been proven.

Swagger

We Are One was inspired by the 30th anniversary of We Are The World by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. They turned the spotlight on starving people in Africa by joining their voices together. 
This year, we decided to do some good here at home with the issue of races being divided, where we need to take a stand for each other. 

David Longoria wrote and produced We Are One to bring artists from every genre and generation together to stand up for each other. Every life does matter and we want to prove it. No one should feel slighted because of their color or heritage. We are one! This year we spread nothing but love and encouragement with this compelling and infectious song. 

After more than a year recording artists all over the USA and even points across the glove, this song took the top spot in history as "the biggest song in the history of pop music" boasting more than 600 artists all singing together on one song for a very worthy cause. Unity. Listen and please sing along!

We Are One

Mercy and forgiveness are required to redeem us from the silly and often hurtful things we've done in our lives. The promise of a new day, the freshness of a clean slate and another shot at getting it right give such wonderful hope for us and our lives. Redemption brings that musical message to life with the bold and powerful melodies that can lift and gratefully acknowledge the cleansing  and rejuvenation within us and our very souls.

Redemption

Angels revisit us , this time representing the afterlife. Without the expected club beat driving the song, one can easily pick out the instruments blending together to create the heavenly sounds of Angels. A calming spirit comes over you as you listen and enjoy the melodic piece. 

We hope you have enjoyed The Journey.  We all take different roads and paths, but there are many common stops and experiences along the way. May your journey be filled with wonder, beauty, spirits lifting you up and many moments you'll never forget. God bless you on The Journey.
