The Jitterbug

A really nice 60's 70's feel of music which still incorporates the feel of today. Me and @frankzozky got this again!

LUCHADOR (Texto de Jesús Lainez Betoré)

Se acerca la pausa luchador
Algo va frenando ese reloj
Tus huesos protestan luchador
Y todavía les queda lo peor

Farolas grises luchador
te dejan en la habitación
Cierras tus ojos luchador
tras un mal día otro peor

Recuerda el fuego luchador
que entregaste en la competición
Tu espalda contra el hormigón
Ha dado un claro perdedor

Estribillo

Y el sueño que regresa de nuevo a tu cama
perdió su color y el gris ahora cubre tu cara
Y el fuego que te hizo mover las montañas
ya te abandonó y enfermo no sale de casa

--------------

Se acerca la pausa luchador
algo va frenando ese reloj
Sigues luchando luchador
Para dar a los tuyos lo mejor

Dura lucha luchador
y no se vió en televisión
Pide campana luchador
que todavía queda lo peor

Cierras tus ojos luchador
el fuego ya te abandonó
Tu espalda contra el hormigón
ha dado un claro perdedor

Estribillo

FIGHTER

The break is approaching, fighter
Something is slowing down that clock
Your bones protest, fighter
And the worst is yet to come

Gray streetlights, fighter
leave you in the room
You close your eyes, fighter
after a bad day, another worse

Remember the fire, fighter
that you gave in the competition
Your back against the concrete
Has given a clear loser

Chorus

And the sleep that returns to your bed
lost its color and gray now covers your face
And the fire that made you move mountains
has already abandoned you and sick, he won't leave the house

--------------

The break is approaching, fighter
something is slowing down that clock
You keep fighting, fighter
To give your people the best

Tough fight, fighter
and it wasn't seen on television
Call for the bell, fighter
the worst is yet to come

You close your eyes, fighter
the fire has already abandoned you
Your back against the concrete
has given a clear loser

Chorus

[verse 1]
She left Colorado with the wind at her side
Chasing a whisper across the great divide
Two daughters grown and walking their own trails
But in her heart, their laughter still prevails

She taught in the suburbs by the bay
Melbourne mornings, chalk dust and prayers each day
Teaching roots in a world far from home
Still wondering how far a soul must roam


[chorus]
And she’s still becoming Gracia
Through the healing and the ache
Crossing oceans for the questions
That the silence sometimes makes
In her journal and her heartbeat
There's a light she will not fake
She's still becoming Gracia
Every breath a chance to wake 

[verse 2]
On a Kibbutz where the Galilee sings
She found peace in the simplest things
University walls in old Haifa stone
Studied faith, but she still felt alone

She held the past in tender grace
Missed her father’s final face
In a veterans bed, far from her sky
Ventura wept while she said goodbye

[chorus]
And she’s still becoming Gracia
Through the loss and through the flame
Two daughters off on journeys
But they echo in her name
In the quiet of her longing
She has never passed the blame
She's still becoming Gracia
Never walking quite the same 

[bridge]
Now the road bends, not so wide
But wisdom walks close by her side
With Reiki hands and open eyes
She learns to live, she learns to rise

[chorus - final]
And she’s still becoming Gracia
Not a finish, just a start
Finding healing in the desert
And the shadows of her heart
With her daughters in the ether
And her father in the stars
She's still becoming Gracia
Just as she is, just who you are 

[outro]
Still becoming... Gracia…



Still becoming Gracia

Robert Grigg sent this base line with the sweet guitar licks to me. I just went with the flow.

Slip N Slide centers the feelings of pain surrounding heartbreak. These are the very emotions that paved my entry into making music. We've all been through our love trials and breakups, and if you haven't yet...it's probably on its way. All I know is, it showed me the way and made me who I am today. Know who is good to keep around and know who drains your energy. Hope yall vibe with this one. 

Slip 'N Slide

A lovely May.
You peaked too soon, my summer child.
Alive? 
Just trying to get by.
With a smile inside my eyes.
Ignore the scars.
Acting hard.

You're on a beach.
A weever fish/your feet.
You try to eat a peach.
But those things are bloody hard.
You can't look upon the stars in summertime.
Don't ask why.

I've been on the scene.
I've been in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the wane.
I've been home again.
Nobody'll listen what I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

Another day.
You'll want for nothing summer child.
Arrived.
At always the right time.
You didn't recognise it was your salad days.
Within the haze.

You're out of reach.
You can not hear my speech.
You've nothing left to teach.
Condescending meek.
You wouldn't wait another week.
To run away.
Run away.

Not part of a team.
Living in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways..
Swept me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
There's no escape.

Singing in the rain.
From heaven to the drain.
Nobody'll listen when I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the scene.
I've been in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the wane.
I've been home again.
Nobody'll listen when I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
I can't escape.
There's no way.



Summer Child

The song is about the pain of discovering all deceitful friends. Why do we tolerate the betrayal?
