Llévame a la Cruz

One of my fave trad folk songs. So cool! Recorded in one take with my good friend Chris Hales on lead guitar. I added some percussion and banjo later to fill out the sound a bit.

tudo outra vez

From the first note of the harmonica, "Adiós amigo" plunges me into a stream of deep emotions. The slow, dragging rhythm of the guitars, coupled with the nostalgic sound of the harmonica, transports me directly to a lonely, melancholic place, evoking the image of a train station at dusk where farewells feel eternal.

The lyrics of the song, which do not explicitly mention departure due to drugs but use metaphors like "un azúcar impalpable", make me reflect on how people's paths can veer off to irrecoverable destinations. Each verse, laden with sadness and resignation, reminds me of that friend who left too soon, taking pieces of our shared history with him.

The chorus, repetitive and catchy, "¡Adiós, amigo, qué lejos vas!", resonates as a lament that refuses to fade, marking the rhythm of a goodbye that never fully comes. The backups in the song, with their exclamations of "¡No, no te vayas!" and "¡Ah, cómo duele!", add a layer of desperation and make the experience even more intense.

This song, with its blend of traditional Delta Blues acoustic elements and a lyric loaded with symbolism, is not only a tribute to a lost friend but also a mirror in which I see myself, facing my own ghosts and the melancholy of what could have been and was not. "Adiós amigo" is, without a doubt, a piece that will remain in my playlist, not only for its musical quality but for the emotional resonance it invokes every time I listen to it.

Adios amigo

When the wolves come calling girl you best me close to me,
If the sky starts falling oh then lets not be beneath,
When the water's rising high, ill pry you from the sea,
I know i talk a strong man's lines but things aren't as they seem :)

Bonjours à tous
Voici Les gardiens de nos mémoires, enregistré en 1987, est plus qu’un morceau, c’est un poème chanté à ceux qui ont forgé nos racines, à ceux dont les rides racontent des siècles d’amour, de luttes, et de lumière.
Leur présence est une richesse précieuse, souvent silencieuse, mais essentielle.
Derrière chaque ride se cache une histoire à préserver
