The music of "Sorrow & Pain" is inspired by the classical piano piece "Sonata for Piano No. 20 in A major, D 959" by Franz Schubert and is Betty's own arrangement.
Portobello Express will once again venture into the interpretation of a piano classic, as they did with 'Unique' - inspired by Tchaikovsky. One of Betty's favourite classical composers is the Austrian romantic Franz Schubert (1797-1828).
This piece is from the composer's last collection of sonatas, written in the last months of his life, between the spring and autumn of 1828. He died of siphilis at the age of 31.  
As so often in the past, 'Sorrow & Pain' was born from a bass line that Betty had dreamed up in the night after studying Sonata No. 20 the previous evening.

LondonPeaky (find him on X @LondonPeaky) said: 

"For me, I absolutely love 'Sorrow & Pain' It's really got under my skin.
Upon hearing the first few seconds, I thought, "here we go, it's going to have a touch of goth..." 
How wrong I was, although I can imagine Siouxsie singing it. But then again, Grace Jones would also do it justice - in a kind of pre-war, Parisian La Vie en Rose style.
There's some blues floating in there ever so gently too. But the song is 'Betty's,' her vocals are a mix of strength and tenderness/vulnerability and I doubt there will be many better releases within the 'indie/unsigned' community this year"

MAL HALLETT (Transvisions Vamp/ Rotten Hill Gang) said:

"My initial impression is that it’s very Germanic, torch song and vaguely expressionistic"

Rain Dogs
by Tom Waits

Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine with all the Rain Dogs
Taxi we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway 
with the Rain Dogs

For I am a Rain Dog too

Oh how we danced 
And we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming

Oh how we danced away 
All of the lights
We've always been 
Out of our minds

The rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dust man 
With the Rain Dogs

Aboard a shipwrecked train
Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog too

Oh how we danced with the Rose of Trolley
Her Long hair Black as a Raven

Oh how we danced 
And you whispered to me
You'll never be going  back Home...

01 Higher Calling

Evocadora canción para todos los públicos, algo más rápida y elaborada que la versión de las Piano Sessions.

Evocative song for everyone, a little faster and more elaborated than the Piano Sessions' version: https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/el-rio-piano-version

Lyrics/Letra:

Nunca pude destapar un río
para ver lo que tenía dentro
de su cuerpo húmedo....

Nunca pude preguntar al río
lo que llevaba con tanta prisa,
hacia abajo, en silencio...

... y el río pasaba sin mirarme siquiera...
... siempre ocupado en su deslizarse...
... siempre sin mirar atrás a escucharme,
sin parar a contestarme,
sin parar a decirme qué llevaba dentro...

Nunca quiso responderme el río,
nunca quiso ser mi amigo
y seguía su camino...

... y el río contestaba con preguntas evasivas,
“¿A dónde vas?”, yo le decía,
“Sin parar, con tanta prisa.”
“¿A dónde vas?, ¿a dónde vas...?”

El Río (A dónde vas)
