The song, Lament, is the ninth track of the contemporary classical album, The Hunt.

About the album

The Hunt is a musical journey that tells a story both literally and metaphorically. Though the songs were written individually, the album is loosely tied together in a single thread that binds its story. The songs are meant to reflect the story of the hunt, but how one interprets that hunt is up to each of you. For me, it's been a journey that's taken a little over three years to complete and the album in many ways reflects that. 

The Hunt is the hunt of life, hunting for health, for life, for happiness, for love, for ideas, for creativity, for success. Life has happiness, but it also has pain, and that is also reflected in some of the music (especially in Quicksand and Lament). The Hunt is the soundtrack to the film we experience every day, its ups, its downs, its successes and its losses. It's my way of expressing that, both beautifully and tragically through the different orchestral sounds, but also, in a song format that any listener can experience and enjoy even within a short moment, sitting, or within a personalized playlist. 

As I've mentioned many times before, composing music for me is a process of exploration, full of places to visit and explore and express. The music here is drawn from life itself, sometimes simple and sometimes complex. I hope you enjoy The Hunt and that the hunt of your life is always a happy, loving, and successful one. Enjoy! :)

About the album

From quarantine life,
something painful this way comes,
a new, pandemic inspired, life soundtrack…

Contagion is a moment, an interruption, signifying an expression of feelings and music that the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic and quarantine brought to light. It’s a contemporary classical life track, serving as a soundtrack to the contagion, to its spread, to its mystery, its attack on the body, to our losses during the Covid-19 pandemic and to our future beyond them. As the virus flooded every news outlet, Contagion became an interruption, a mysterious invader, taking over everything, needing to be expressed. It’s a “lifetrack” or “life soundtrack” with its contemporary classical orchestral sounds expressing the feelings and experiences of those first few months of dread and quarantine, through which many of us felt the fear of it all and the actual loss of loved ones.

GHOST TOWN LYRICS & MUSIC:
 MICHELLE MACEDO

THE REAL REASON I CAN’T STAY
IS I’VE GOT NONE TO GIVE AWAY

VERSE 2: 
I FEEL DEPLETED OF MYSELF 
THERE WILL BE NOBODY ELSE
I’M DOWN FOR THE COUNT 
SO GO AHEAD AND COUNT SOMEBODY ELSE

AND I’M FEELING LIKE THE DEVIL HAD HIS WAY
AND THE WORLD GOES ON AROUND ME LIKE A PRISONER WHO STAYED

CHORUS 
CAN’T LIVE IN GHOST TOWNS TILL WE’RE DEAD
AND IF YOU’RE SMART YOU’LL USE YOUR HEAD
AND IF I KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR ME I’LL BURN
BURN MY BETTER MIND FOR THE SANITY I FIND
AND I FIND IT ALL THE WHILE IN YOU
YOU SEE ME HOPELESS AS I AM					
DO YOU THINK THAT MAYBE YOU CAN 
EVER LEARN TO LOVE ME AGAIN

VERSE
I NEVER GOT TO TELL YOU MY CONCLUSION THAT NIGHT
ALL THE LIQUOR INVOLVED WOULD HAVE STARTED A FIGHT

WHAT IF I JUST DON’T GET BETTER
WHAT IF I JUST DON’T IMPROVE
SEEMS LIKE HOLIDAYS AND WALK AWAYS
ARE GETTING FURTHER NOW A DAYS

CHORUS
CAN’T LIVE IN GHOST TOWNS TILL WE’RE DEAD
AND IF YOU’RE SMART YOU’LL USE YOUR HEAD
AND IF I KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR ME I’LL BURN
BURN MY BETTER MIND FOR THE SANITY I FIND
AND I FIND IT ALL THE WHILE IN YOU

YOU SEE ME HOPELESS AS I AM
DO YOU THINK THAT MAYBE YOU CAN 
EVER LEARN TO LOVE ME AGAIN

BRIDGE 
I LEAVE YOU WANTING MORE
BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE THE MORE YOU WANTED

VERSE:
IF WE MAGNIFY THE NIGHT SKY
WE WOULD BOTH KNOW LESS ABOUT IT THAN BE CLOSER TO THE WHY
I KNOW THIS ROAD MEANS DUSK
AND THIS TIRED ILLUMINATION IT MAY NOT BE UP TO US
THERE’S A CIRCUS RUNNING THROUGH THIS TOWN
AND ALTHOUGH WE ONLY TRAVEL IT’S THE THING THAT KEEPS ME BOUND

CHORUS
CAN’T LIVE IN GHOST TOWNS TILL WE’RE DEAD
AND IF YOU’RE SMART YOU’LL USE YOUR HEAD
AND IF I KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR ME I’LL BURN
BURN MY BETTER MIND FOR THE SANITY I FIND
AND I FIND IT ALL THE WHILE IN YOU

YOU SEE ME HOPELESS AS I AM
DO YOU THINK THAT MAYBE YOU CAN 
EVER LEARN TO LOVE ME AGAIN

CHORUS
CAN’T LIVE IN GHOST TOWNS TILL WE’RE DEAD
AND IF YOU’RE SMART YOU’LL USE YOUR HEAD

AND IF I KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR ME I’LL BURN
BURN MY BETTER MIND FOR THE SANITY I FIND
AND I FIND IT ALL THE WHILE IN YOU

YOU SEE ME HOPELESS AS I AM
DO YOU THINK THAT MAYBE YOU CAN 
EVER LEARN TO LOVE ME AGAIN?

The Wait is a classical style piece of music that reflects waiting and anticipation. It was written out of insomnia and the constant incapacity to sleep. It’s something I have personally struggled with throughout my life, and I admit a lot of my ideas flow from those hours fighting with it. The Wait is directly related to it, born of it. It’s that anxious waiting for sleep to come, the time ticking away, the realization that time is passing and the possible sleep time lessens. Suddenly, you feel it, but it disappears once again, and the anxiousness returns.

The different orchestral elements attempt to reflect that, with the violin’s pizzicato ticking away, as other elements creep in, and the mind races in the darkness. It features violins, cello, horns, and a rainstick to tell the story of that struggle with insomnia. For me it expresses that story. For you, it might express something different. It might inspire one of my films or stories, or one of yours.

I hope you enjoy The Wait and all my music, and may you always enjoy the deep and pleasurable slumber of a good night’s sleep.

Born in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, Franco Esteve is as varied as they come. His multicultural upbringing throughout the United States and Europe led to his adoption of the concept of everywhere and nowhere for his views of life, origin, and culture. The same has applied to his professional life as well, covering a multitude of disciplines, feeding his thirst for knowledge and expression.

Beauty is his true passion, finding it, seeing it, experiencing it, expressing it. Writing, photography, art, music, creative expression is what drives his projects. Sometimes it will be through his poetry, his photography, his books, music or through film, but his main goal will always be to question, to communicate, to express, and to entertain.
