Money Tree

In the heart of a world where music genres blend and transform, I stand as an artist who treasures the essence of post-rock. My journey through the realms of electronic and rock music has been an initiation of the world of the music industry. Yet, as I release my new track, it's a homecoming to the profound and personal style of post-rock that truly defines me. This piece isn't just another song; it's a testament to my evolution as an artist. It reflects a return to my roots, embodying the intricate layers and emotional depth of post-rock music. It's an invitation to lose oneself in the expansive soundscape I've created, where each note and silence tells a story. As you listen, I hope you find within this music a reflection of your own journeys, emotions, and dreams. Join me in this adventure, and let's explore the depths and heights of what music can be when it's crafted with passion and sincerity.

Resilience

This song was written while I was going through cancer treatments. It's a song about my faith and the love of my spouse who I leaned on every day.

Your Love's Gotta Hold On Me

Let The People Rejoice

This is a Rolling Stones cover version by Z CAR M - My Philippine music friend Paul Vincent Camoro kindly contributed his vocals to this track.

To learn Keith Richard's guitar riff was a pain in the neck.

However, I think, the final result of this track is acceptable....

Necesito tu presencia

Ahora que estás a gran distancia
y que mi ser lamenta tu ausencia
es cuando he caído en la cuenta
de lo mucho que me haces falta.

La vida esta vez me ha enseñado
y he de pagar muy caro el ejemplo
que para apreciar lo que tenemos
hace falta que… ¡que lo perdamos!

Estribillo

Por eso mi amor quiero que sepas
que mi vida, si tú no estás cerca, 
no tiene fundamento ni razón
porque necesito tu presencia
para justificar mi existencia
y no sentirme oveja sin pastor.

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

Recorro otra vez los mismos sitios
por donde fui feliz de tu mano
pues aunque me produce un gran daño
hace que también sienta un alivio.

La vida esta vez me ha enseñado
y he de pagar muy caro el ejemplo
que para apreciar lo que tenemos
hace falta que… ¡que lo perdamos!

Estribillo

I need your presence

Now that you're far away
and that my being regrets your absence
That's when I realized
of how much I miss you.

This time life has taught me
and I have to pay dearly for the example
that to appreciate what we have
We need to... lose it!

Chorus

That's why my love I want you to know
that my life, if you are not around,
It has no basis or reason
because I need your presence
to justify my existence
and not feel like a sheep without a shepherd.

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

I visit the same places again
where I was happy with your hand
Well, although it causes me great harm
It also makes me feel relieved.

This time life has taught me
and I have to pay dearly for the example
that to appreciate what we have
We need to... lose it!

Chorus

NECESITO TU PRESENCIA

Can't live by only bread, won't satisfy
Need something for my head to glorify
Need something for my heart to tenderize
And that thing you got that makes me appetize
Won't you lay it down all over me?

You cut right through the specter of my games
You come right to the center of my shame
You put cracks in my face's hollow pride
And shine a light on places I'd rather hide
Won't you lay it down all over me?

Never been a simple man
Won't you take me as I am
Never been a simple man
I know you can understand

Won't you lay it down all over me?

Lay It Down All Over Me

I constructed this track and I asked Annie if she felt inspired to put any words to it. she said "yes, defo, if her dream fairies come through with them." And they did ... seems they couldn't wait... which was great ... except that it was at four o'clock this morning!

Here's what came through:

WORDS:

I thought at first it was a dream, just a childhood fantasy that had grown and grown.
But over the years, I realised .... it was real, it was my loved ones singing me home.

When the day is dark, and the night is long...in the still, small hours I hear their song.
The road less travelled can be full of stones, but their song makes the journey seem not so long.
When I meet the devil, at the crossing, and I have to choose right, from wrong,
I follow their attunement, and soon find, that where once I was weak, I am strong

Now the sun is glowing red, and the shadows growing longer, their song is sounding out... even louder
Rising to a crescendo, as every sacrifice is cheered, every last injury and pain is honoured,
Pulling me up the steep, craggy pathway of that last mountain I have to climb,
Until I’m released from the valley of the shadow of death, ruled by Old Father Time.

I thought at first it was a dream, just a childhood fantasy that had grown and grown.
But over the years ...I've seen that it’s real, and that it’s my loved ones singing me home.

Our way home - Annie Dieu-Le-Veut

In the last weeks DMs swept in from assumed new fans, praising one's musical talent in glowing words and phrases. A few "innocent" Thank-yous later their promo sales machines got fired. I admit: I had some fun in detecting their innocence in marketing and expose their poor strategies (often seemingly right out of some obscure how-to "handbook"). All gave up after a while, some disappointed or disillusioned, some just irritated and deprived of valid arguments. Poor souls sometimes ... 
Anyway, I took some ot the opening sentences from those advancements and a few claims et voilá: lyrics were written. SUNO took care of the musical presentation, which I polished a bit more with adding drums, organ and mixing.
