The Dreams of The Poor

Where do they go? The dreams of the poor, they plummet like snow wiped from the tail of a space station,
And you, you hunt down the light with a sieve and a knife, can I hunt it with you in the drunken night? The thief holds a mirror, he laughs and bows to his greed, I once met a hero but it seems we all wanted to kneel, kneel to a rat.

Where do they go? The dreams of the poor, are they the same.

How do you pay for a flat in Paris? Must you sell your moustache or paint the wives of the banking staff? Will you give me a brush to wipe out the farce of the Forbes parade and the Vogue charade.
The king holds a mirror and cries at the troughs on his hands, the void, the void is an anarchist she says, it won’t discriminate, the black, the grey and the white are all waiting in line.

Where do they go? The dreams of the poor, are they the same? Will they see the light

Give me a flame, the tent has gone dark, chicken joints surge as poets talk of the death of the I, and here, they’re trading a nurse for a snake and a purse, and a year’s pass to a new Mardi Gras.

The fool holds the mirror he laughs and mocks his good luck, does he know the system is broken and his crown is just meat for the sharks, for the money-mad sharks.

After releasing three albums, ‘Love and Decadence’ and ‘Farewell Belief’ , “Whiskey With Angels” on Amber Records, and his EP ‘Poetical Resistance’ which he toured round the UK and Europe, Moreno returns as a burning force of nature with this brand new LP called “The Year Of The Rat.” In this album he explores the struggles and revelations of the arduous period of lockdown and the confinement from 2020-2021. 2020 was the year of the rat according to the Chinese horoscope and Moreno expertly uses lyrics derived from his poetical studies and crafted tunes to explore the struggles of this year for musicians and other working folk. Just like the rat, Moreno has had to employ shrewdness and ingenuity to survive this period and come out with new compelling songs. The album includes collaborations with several acclaimed musicians of the London and Barcelona underground music scene including Ned Cartwright (Heartworn Highways) Adam Beattie (Pica Pica, Band Of Burns) Fiona Bevan, Pearl Fish, Pablo Yupton, DG Solaris amongst others. It will be launched at The Tower Theatre, London, February 2022.
