Really nice instrumentation ... and great production as well!

perfect FX on everything ... and very well layered and balanced

Loving the duel panned style. Sounds ace through cans!

A Long Day

So long, so short
So long, goodnight
So long, so short, so long, good night
So long, so short, so long

It’s been a long day
It’s been a long day
It’s been a long ass day

But that’s not what you leave behind you
What you leave behind
Is so much more
So much love
So much light and…

It’s been a long day
It’s been a long night
Left with memories now 
Of this beautiful life
I’m tired, you’re tired
No more talking
But I don’t mind

A mother, a wife
A friend, a life
A smile so bright
Lift you up
Make you right
In the mourning, in the light
All alone and alive
I’ll keep fighting, stay behind
With you always on my mind

So long, so short
So long, goodnight
So long, so short, so long, good night
So long ,so short, so long

It’s been a long day
It’s been a long day
It’s been a long ass day

But that’s not what you leave behind you
What you leave behind
Is so much more
So much love
So much light and…

It’s been a long day
It’s been a long night
Left with memories now 
Of this beautiful life
I’m tired, you’re tired
No more talking
But I don’t mind

A Long Day

Lyrics:

What once made sense 
Falls down to my feet

And what I used to think 
Now dissolves like a dream

History once believed,
now the sun has bleached

A web of lies
Surrounds what we see

Nothing was ever real,
All made to deceive

We are at the 
edge of night

darkness increases,
swallowing the light

We scramble like rats
Fight each other for scraps

False lights explode,
To douse our fright

This coming storm 
Feels like the end

As wheat and tares 
Are separated again

Events unfold, 
draw us back 
Into eternity
We kick and scream
fighting that which saves

Why lose your soul
just to save your life?

There is no end,
in the truth, unite

The name that cannot be named
The door to all wonders
Will be revealed
Outside this dream
It calls, forever, 
forever beckoning

On May 13, 2015, my brother-in-law Eduardo Fortuny Loret de Mola was killed in a road accident, to the great sorrow of all who knew and loved him, in particular his widow and two sons. I wrote this song in the aftemath of his all too soon passing away, but the time never seemed right to try and record it ... until now, when Enna, his wife, read the lyrics and expressed her wish to hear a recorded version. It would also have been his 60th birthday this year. I took both as a sign that it was time, and thanks to the monumental musical and production abilities of Sergio Aguilar, not to mention the wonderful backing vocals of Beto Quintero, here it is.

The song, needless to say, but I will say it, is dedicated to Eduardo, and all who loved him.

Hallelujah is a transliteration of Hebrew: הַלְלוּ (hallū yāh), which means "praise ye Jah!" (from הַלְלוּ‎, "praise ye!" [8] and יָהּ‎, "Jah".)[9][10][11] The word hallēl in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah in modern English).
~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah

“In traditional Christian thought, the final transition from life on earth to life in heaven is symbolized by crossing the Jordan River."
~ https://jesusway4you.com/2020/06/24/signs-and-symbols-of-the-bible-jordan-river/

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.”
― Kahlil Gibran, artist and poet.

"The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on."
~ Irving Berlin, songwriter.

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
~ Terry Pratchett, English author.

Lyrics
Last night I dreamed my brother strode with Jesus by his side
With heavenly strength to move them on, they walked the ocean tide
I cried, “Dear brother, hold your haste, we all must journey home.”
“Jordan calls me,” was all he said, I knew myself alone
I knew myself alone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Last night I dreamed my brother rode in tandem with James Dean
Along the streets and the highways that to this world are unseen
I cried, “Dear brother, promise me, you’ll meet me when I come.”
He smiled his smile, and raised his hand, I felt my world undone
I felt my world undone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

And take me over Jordan, see my brother walk upon its shore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Yeah, take me over Jordan, for I am tired and so heartsore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah
