SPIRITUAL VOYAGER

Musical arrangement by Germán Nogueira

I dreamed of finding a treasure
following nobody's tracks
so, I left home one fine morning
with the will not to look back.

All the good people who loved me
worried a lot about me.
In my temporary blindness
I ignored them thoughtlessly.

I climbed then the highest mountains.
I explored their deepest caves.
Crystal waters from their sources
never got to quench my thirst.

I wandered through the rain forest.
I dug in the desert sands.
I descended mighty rivers
that with the ocean shake hands.

I returned nearly defeated,
all mixed up and full of doubts.
Ashamed I hid in the study
of my ancestors' old house.
		
Among the books there a small one
aroused my curiosity
for it depicted as treasures,
friendship, peace and harmony.

I continued with another
making me then realize
that respecting Mother Nature
is essential to survive.

I kept on reading and reading
until I could comprehend
there are no jewels more precious
than the human wisdom gems.

I did amass a big fortune
in the voyages I took:
life experiences that could be
the content of a fine book.

All that great spiritual treasure,
I share most gladly with all.
I give love as I receive love.
I truly can't ask for more!

Spiritual Voyager Demo 2

This song is about a guy slow dancing with a woman but he knows he can never take it any further than just that moment. All the while he is thinking about if the grass is greener on the other side. "Three o'clock in the morning I see her there all alone music playing I ask her to dance real slow".

Scent Of A Woman

A bluesy number that I wrote and produced but did not play on. I wrote the song and brought to my piano teacher a jazz guy who liked it and I hired him to record it with his singer wife Janice Mitchell who worked with Ray Charles and all kinds of rock acts in the 70's. She is truly 20 feet from stardom this woman has such a soulful voice I am honored to have worked with her. The song is really about something I was going through at the time I was beating myself up for a while.
