Que já Sei que vou perder 

Já que machucou

ISABEL

Yo era un muchacho triste y solo
cuando te conocí; 
yo era un muchacho triste y solo
cuando me enamoré de ti.

La luz entró en mi vida
con una chiquilla
tan linda como tú;
brilló en una mañana
que el alba mostraba
su manto más azul.

Estribillo

Tú has cambiado mi vida
me has devuelto la sonrisa
me has abierto el corazón
que aún estaba cerrado
recordando el pasado
sin ninguna emoción.

Sólo estando a tu lado
no me siento abandonado
Isabel de mi corazón
sólo estando a tu lado
vuelvo a sentirme algo
y hasta tengo una ilusión.

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

Soy tan dichoso en este mundo
porque tengo tu amor;
soy tan dichoso en este mundo
porque tu empuje es mi motor.

Te vas con esa sonrisa
de bondad divina
que me da la paz;
y con tus rubios cabellos
que agita el viento
como en un trigal.

Estribillo

ISABEL

I was a sad and lonely boy
when I met you;
I was a sad and lonely boy
when I fell in love with you.

The light came into my life
with a little girl
as pretty as you;
shined in a morning
that the dawn showed
her bluest cloak.

Chorus

You have changed my life
you have returned my smile
you have opened my heart
that was still closed
remembering the past
without any emotion.

Just being by your side
I don't feel abandoned
Isabel of my heart
just being by your side
I feel something again
and I even have an illusion.

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

I am so blessed in this world
because I have your love;
I am so blessed in this world
because your drive is my engine.

You leave with that smile
of divine goodness
that gives me peace;
and with your blonde hair
that stirs the wind
like in a wheat field.

Chorus

Isabel

This track was submitted to a local church's songwriting project during the 2014 but it got ignored. After burying the track for almost a decade, eventually we've managed to remaster the song with our new production skill and DIY vocal. Fortunately everything goes well and just like what we've imagined! This is Parallel Universe, a gift from our younger self to our loyal listeners! Enjoy!

Mother Nature

Parallel Universe

Continued with the theme of remember


I try to face off with the
Demons
Am i hopeless
Endlessly suffering

I face the veins of sorrow etched into my skull
Each tear a bitter reminder of the warmth that made me whole
Your voice a constant reminder i cant chase away
Like the shadows in the twilight youre lost in yesterday

Scream into the void but you cannot reply
The memories we made will stay forever with me
Until im gone

Oh
I wanna rip the world in two
Shatter the pieces of the moon
Fuck

The clock ticks slowly in your empty room
Silence run rampant in your would be home
Now i cannot take my life back
To a place where it once was
We loved you with all our hearts but
I guess that wasnt enough

and so now i

Scream into the void but you cannot reply
The memories we made will stay forever with me
Until im gone

I dont think there is an easy way out
Its in my head in my veins
In my tears as they run down my
Face end of lies 
End of lines
Ends of stars
A new start
A new star
A new star is born by you

Take me out

Let the blood moon shine on me

Scream into the void but you cannot reply
The memories we made will stay forever with me
Until im gone

Memories

Well, you can run, but you can't hide. 
There's no escape from what's inside.
You can try and write your words out in a song.
But we all show when something's wrong.

When you're only showing one face to the world.
When you're trying to make your mind up on a girl.
When you're escaping this world into your own.
You should know that you can never make it home.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

Well, we all live, and we all die.
Imagination helps you get on by.
Is there a constant revolution in your soul?
It's a shame that we all have to get so old.

When you lay there on a morning on your own.
When you can not find a place to rest your bones.
When the nighttime comes to help you get away.
When you find out, it won't matter what you say.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

Fade Away

song that I composed in 2024 and was very short, barely without a decent ending....... so I decided to fix it and put together an ending as the song deserves with a longer version and some melodic changes.

Treading the road - Version Long 2025

This is a live version of an original song, written many years ago when I was young and idealistic :-) The Band was called "Both Ends Burning"

Class Distinctions (Dm Am7) Capo 1
Class distinctions your working class (Dm Am)
In the environment you need a pass (G Am)
Class is colour back or white (Dm Am)
Class big brother a knock in the night (G Am)

Class Distinctions

Class addiction the drugs you need
Class infection the rag you read
Class rejection your down and out
Class detection and you’ve been found out!

Class Distinctions

You know its right (Dm Am)
You’ve never liked it and you’d like to fight (G Am)
Maybe someday (Dm Am)
We’ll as see things a different way (G A)

And those Class Distinctions

Class election red or blue
Whatever you choose now it ain’t up to you
Class defection don’t cross that line
Class reflection get it right next time

Class Distinctions

You know its right 
You’ve never liked it and you’d like to fight 
Maybe someday 
We’ll as see things a different way 

And those Class Distinctions

Class Distinctions (Live)

Hey everyone! Let’s dive into the production of my song, Reason.
We built this track on a foundation of smooth, mid tempo drums, nothing too aggressive, but just enough to keep the groove moving. The kick and snare are tight and punchy, while the hi-hats add a bit of swing to keep things dynamic. There are also some soft percussive layers in the background, giving it a touch of organic feel.
The bassline is one of my favorite parts, it’s deep and warm but never overpowering. We used a mix of a soft sub-bass and a slightly plucked synth bass, making sure it sits just right in the mix. It glues everything together while adding that necessary emotional depth.
The chords are a mix of gentle electric piano and some atmospheric pads, creating that lush, floating vibe. There’s also a light guitar melody weaving in and out, adding a bit of an organic touch to contrast the smooth synth textures.
For the vocals, we went for a really close, intimate sound. There’s a slight reverb and delay to give it space, but we kept the main vocal crisp and upfront. The harmonies are soft but powerful, creating a layered effect that builds emotion throughout the track.
You’ll hear little details like soft vocal chops in the background, light reverb tails that add depth, and some reversed synths swelling in and out. These small elements make the track feel alive and evolving.
Overall, Reason is about capturing that late night, introspective energy, smooth, soulful, and full of feeling. Hope you guys love it as much as I do!

Through the Stars
Words and Music by Tom Harris

[Verse 1]
A boy with wonder in his eyes,
Gazing up at endless skies.
Moon and Mars, the Sun so bright,
He asked the world about the night.

They called him strange, they pushed him down,
Yet he ran faster, left the ground.
Through the woods, across the sand,
He outran doubt, he took his stand.

[Chorus]
Through the stars, through the night,
Reaching far, chasing light.
Falling fast, yet rising high,
A broken heart still longs to fly.

Through the dark, through the cold,
Dreams won’t fade though time grows old.
Even bound, he still will soar,
Past the edge... forevermore.

[Verse 2]
Through the halls of Stanford’s gates,
He wrote the laws of time and fate.
Black hole whispers, cosmic tides,
He saw the start, where truth resides.

NASA called, his dream took form,
He trained through fire, he braved the storm.
Honest, faithful, strong in soul,
The stars so near—his final goal.

[Chorus]
Through the stars, through the night,
Reaching far, chasing light.
Falling fast, yet rising high,
A broken heart still longs to fly.

Through the dark, through the cold,
Dreams won’t fade though time grows old.
Even bound, he still will soar,
Past the edge... forevermore.

[Bridge]
Then the winds began to change,
Fate had carved a different page.
Doctors sighed, the time was short,
A heart too weak to reach the port.

[Verse 3]
On his bed, he heard the sound,
Engines roaring, leaving ground.
Watched his friends fly past the blue,
And in that moment, he just knew...

His body stayed, but not his soul,
Beyond the sky, beyond control.
Through the stars, through the tide,
He took his final, sacred ride.

[Final Chorus]
Through the stars, through the night,
Reaching far, chasing light.
Falling fast, yet rising high,
A broken heart still longs to fly.

Through the dark, through the cold,
Dreams won’t fade though time grows old.
Now unbound, he soars once more,
Past the edge... forevermore.

[Outro]
Past the Moon, past the Sun,
Heaven called—the race was won.
With open arms and endless flight,
He touched the stars... and found the light.

Through the Stars

Paseando por París

Es un placer poder vivir
la sensación que da París
de infinita luz y de sensualidad.

Ves claro lo que un día fue
lo que palpita en sus cafés
en sus museos y en su gran libertad.

Estribillo

Al caer la tarde mueve brisa
que acaricia tu bella sonrisa
y que nos da un soplo de felicidad.

Vamos paseando junto al Sena
escoltados por la luna llena
y el rumor del agua nos regala paz.

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

Puedes gozar al observar
cualquier rincón de la ciudad
pues te asombrará y te atrapará.

Estribillo

Strolling through Paris

It's a pleasure to experience
the feeling that Paris gives
of infinite light and sensuality.

You see clearly what once was
what throbs in its cafes
in its museums and in its great freedom.

Chorus

As evening falls, a breeze moves
that caresses your beautiful smile
and gives us a breath of happiness.

We stroll along the Seine
escorted by the full moon
and the murmur of the water gives us peace.

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

You can enjoy observing
any corner of the city
because it will amaze you and captivate you.

Chorus

Paseando por París

Lyrics: Deep-rooted suffering, our relationship is going down the drain. A shattered love and the paths only take me away from you, it's each man for himself, each one goes his own way, and we reach a deeper well and what could have happened to us? The worst is to see that we weakened, I'm aware, that I carry half of this guilt with me, it's better to move on, we need to resolve it, it's a full stop that marked us both, insisting doesn't make sense and after the suffering comes relief, we need to resolve this torment Face to face. Every story has a beginning, a middle and for both of us it's the end, a relationship like this is bad and it's not normal, I'm going to tell you now my decision, it's to end it!

AMANECER

Empieza a amanecer
y el sol se asoma lentamente
por entre las montañas,
dando paso a la mañana.

Perdido en las tinieblas
contemplo mi pueblo y a sus tierras
que conforme viene el día
se van llenando de vida.

Estribillo

Me gusta ver cómo amanece
y con calma esperar que venga el día
el canto del grillo se muere
en cambio el del gallo se anima

Me gusta ver nacer el alba
y sentir el frescor de la mañana
los rayos del sol en mi cara
la tranquilidad en mi alma.

------------------
El día comenzó
y se ven las aves junto al cielo
expresan con sus trinos 
la alegría de vivirlo.

Contento y satisfecho
emprendo el camino de regreso
y cuando despierta el pueblo 
es cuando yo cojo el sueño.

Estribillo

DAWN

Dawn begins
and the sun slowly peeks
over the mountains,
giving way to the morning.

Lost in the darkness
I contemplate my town and its lands
which, as the day comes,
are filled with life.

Chorus

I like to watch the dawn
and calmly wait for the day to come
the cricket's song dies
but the rooster's comes alive

I like to see the dawn break
and feel the freshness of the morning
the sun's rays on my face
the tranquility in my soul.

------------------
The day has begun
and the birds can be seen against the sky
expressing with their songs
the joy of living it.

Happy and satisfied
I start my way back
and when the town wakes
that's when I fall asleep.

De noche en el puerto

El viento imita con pesar
la queja de un bebé al llorar
y choca contra el malecón.

El faro ilustra con su luz
a un marinero ante una cruz
que de rodillas ora con fervor.

Estribillo

Las olas van susurrando
sonidos que van narrando
un cruel enigma del reino abisal.

La arena lo va escuchando
 y con cuidado guardando
pues entiende que es confidencial.

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

La luna dejar de mirar
la imagen que le ofrece el mar
pues no se llega a reconocer.

La calma acaba por llenar
el alma de una extraña paz
y la razón se deja mecer.

Estribillo

At night in the port

The wind sadly imitates
the lament of a crying baby
and crashes against the seawall.

The lighthouse illuminates with its light
a sailor before a cross
who kneels and prays fervently.

Chorus

The waves whisper
sounds that narrate
a cruel enigma of the abyssal realm.

The sand listens
and carefully guards it
because it understands it is confidential.

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

The moon stops looking
at the image the sea offers
because it cannot recognize itself.

Calm eventually fills
the soul with a strange peace
and reason allows itself to be rocked.

Niebla y neón: distopía

Hoy la niebla no permite ver
el paseo por el cielo azul
que dará el sol y nos roba ese placer.
Sin embargo nos regalará
una estampa de secreta luz
singular en la inmensidad.

Estribillo

No existe la verdad ni la seguridad
la certeza ya no está y todo es dudar.
En esa desazón hay una excepción
que nos guiará en la inquietud: las luces de neón.
---------------
El sol se ve en la prisión
y sin cumplir con su misión
sigue con fe peleando
pero no está alumbrando.

Pues la noche pronto va a caer
y la bruma todo cubrirá
hasta que por fin surja un nuevo amanecer.
Mientras tanto hay que descubrir
lo que el ciclo nos deparará
y lo que nos va a permitir.

Estribillo

Fog and Neon: Dystopia

Today, the fog prevents us from seeing
the sun's journey through the blue sky
and robs us of that pleasure.
However, it will give us
a glimpse of secret light
unique in the immensity.

Chorus

There is no truth or security.
Certainty is no longer there, and everything is doubt.
In this unease, there is one exception
that will guide us through our anxiety: the neon lights.
---------------
The sun sees itself in prison
and, without fulfilling its mission,
it continues to fight with faith
but it is not shining.

For night will soon fall
and the fog will cover everything
until a new dawn finally emerges.
In the meantime, we must discover
what the cycle will bring us
and what it will allow us.

Verso 1
Al salir el sol siempre estaba ya en pie
Una prueba de lo dura que la vida fue
Su mundo ideal lo construyó 
A base de fe y dedicación.

Verso 2
Un fuego interior la impulsó a ser quien es
Una luchadora por su tierra y por su mies
Pero la suerte no le acompañó 
Cuando el amor despertó en su corazón.

Estribillo

Hoy Heliodora no puede evocar
Vivencias, recuerdos, la bruma los cubrió
pero el fulgor que brilla en su mirar
mantiene viva toda la pasión.


Verso 3
¡Cuánto trabajó por su entorno familiar!
A pesar de que no siempre consiguió acertar
Todo lo hizo con el corazón
Y pensando que era lo mejor.

Puente
En su cara está esculpida toda su labor
Las arrugas son las medallas que ganó
Su pelo, las cenizas del fuego que ardíó
Las ojeras, de todo lo que lloró.

Estribillo

Heliodora in Spanish

Verse 1
When the sun rose, she was always already standing.
A testament to how hard life was.
She built her ideal world
Based on faith and dedication.

Verse 2
An inner fire drove her to be who she is.
A fighter for her land and her harvest.
But luck wasn't on her side.
When love awoke in her heart.

Chorus

Today, Heliodora can't recall
Experiences and memories; the mist covered them,
but the glow that shines in her gaze
keeps all the passion alive.

Verse 3
She worked so hard for her family!
Although she didn't always get it right,
She did everything with her heart,
And thinking it was for the best.

Bridge
All her hard work is carved on her face.
The wrinkles are the medals she won.
Her hair, the ashes of the fire that burned.
The dark circles under her eyes, from all the tears she cried.

Chorus
