ILLUSIONS WITHOUT BORDERS

I play a Squier Strat with David Gilmour EMG pickups on this song.

Happy and Sad (Mother)

Verse 1:
If my mother were alive today
The world would be a very strange place
She did not use the internet, never touched a computer
If my mother could see me now

Chorus 1 2 & 4:
She would be so proud, happy, disappointed, and sad.

Verse 2:
Yes she would be all of those things
She would be proud that I have achieved so much in my life
She would be happy that I have a lovely family

Chorus 3:
If my mother were alive today
She would be so proud,
proud, happy, disappointed, and sad.

Verse 3:
I got an education, held good jobs, provided for my family
She would be disappointed with my religious values
She would be sad that I have lost contact with my relatives

Unused lyrical idea:
The world today would be a place of wonder and confusion

Happy And Sad

Get out on the land and find your own freedom

This is a song i wrote inspired by current events and our loss of freedoms and human rights,its a protest track but the lyrics are open to
interpretation.
[out here in the fields i fight for my meals -Pete Townsend ]
[power to the people-John lennon]
If music and writing songs has taught me anything its that music and words can reach and enlighten people and hopefully cause changes for the better ...heres to a peaceful protest and the future [jim april 2021]
lyrics 
Taking away your rights for a peaceful protest
they tried to make you part of the test
Dont believe the lies your told on the bbc
or a digital screen for impossible dreams
you gotta take it for a while and not hold back
shouldnt live in fear of your own land
all those big conspiracies and pharmaceutical brands
in your hands
chorus
in the end when a dream goes bad what will become of you
if you think to hard these illusions of freedom
will get inside of you

taking away the reason for a peaceful life
we are all balanced on the edge of a knife
oh beautiful freedom your like a long lost friend 
makes me sit and wonder when its gonna end
it haunts the shadows and the empty rooms
cant see the footprints where the flowers used to bloom
if you had a choice you would be over the moon 
and not too soon

power to the people
you gotta make a change
looking at the land below
everything is dis-enganged
power ti the country
your fate is in your hands
dont let the bastards grind you down
reach out and all join hands

illusion of freedom

I close my POTENCIAL BIÓTICO album with this contemporary revival of a philosophical song I wrote 19 years ago when my grandpa died.

Could describe it as a requiem for guitar quartet, 2 voices, rhythmic base & church bell (you may know the piano version at https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/sets/piano-sessions-2012 album).

A mostly slow piece with lotta soul and no artistic ambition (but a little ‘Pros&Cons’ air to the end ;).

Letra / lyrics:

Miedo al cambio,  /  Fear of the change,
incómodo trabajo;  /  uncomfortable work;
molesto planteamiento:  /  annoying approach:
no me gusta lo inesperado.  /  I don’t like the unexpected.
  
A lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a ver las cosas cambiadas de sitio.  /  to see the things moved from place.
Ver a la gente irse al otro lado  /  Watching people going to the other side
es duro si piensas que todo  /  is hard if you think that everything
será siempre lo mismo.  /  will be always the same.

Ay, lo mismo ...  /  Ay, the same thing ...
ah, lo mismo ...  /  ah, the same thing ...
ay, lo mismo a mí...  /  ay, the same to me...
  
No he sabido reaccionar,  /  I didn’t know how to react,
atrapado en mi infantil ilusión   /  trapped in my infantile illusion
de que nada cambia,  /  where nothing changes,
ah, tengo que darme cuenta de lo que pasa,  /  ah, I must realize of what happens,
ay, tengo que salir de esta caja.  /  ah, I have to go out of this box.

a lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a las sorpresas de la vida,  /  to the surprises of life,
a nuevos planes que no había planeado,  /  to new plans I had not planned,
no me acostumbro a considerar  /  I don’t get used to consider
una opción distinta.  /  a different option.

Ay, distinta ...  /  Ay, different ...
ay, distinta ...  /  ay, different ...
ah, distinta a mí,  /  ah, different from me,
a mi pensamiento,   /  from my thought,
a mi forma de ser,   /  from my way of being,
a mi manera de verlo...  /  from the way I see it...

No Diggity - Hazel & the Hoffs play Blackstreet

A cover version by Jimmy Rivas and myself of the gorgeous Led Zeppelin track, ‘The Rain Song’. Written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, it appeared on their 1973 album ‘Houses of the Holy’.

  I’ve always loved the song and decided earlier this year to learn how to play it and having learned it, I thought I’d attempt to record it. I wanted to make it a big production and after more time and more takes than it probably took Led Zeppelin to record the entire album, I ended up with something I thought sounded half decent, so I sent it to Jimmy and asked if he’d care to join me. Luckily for me he agreed and sent me an outstanding vocal track stamping his unmistakable mark on the song. Thank you Jimmy.

A bit of fresh air

Le meilleur et le pire n'est pas dans l'outil mais dans l'utilisation par l'humain ... The best and the worst is not in the tool but in the use by humans... 🌓

MidnightTwist

A short and bitter elegy for identity, memory, and meaning.

This 3-track EP reflects the quiet collapse of a self once held together by certainty. Through suffocating piano, distant overdrive, and cold ambient decay, each piece drifts further from understanding- a descent into numbness, loss, and confusion.

But, now I know nothing
