Malamente

Very easy listening, soft and atmospheric fumbling on my piano. 

This is simply improvisation and experimentation on chord progressions I am working on for one of my most recent (and on going) compositions. 

The piece the theme is derived from is still under construction but I hope to share it soon.

P.S. For the wonderers, photo of the moon taken through a telescope in a beautiful garden in East Malling.

LYRICS:
Sometimes things get broken
Sometimes they can mend
Sometimes words are spoken
And forgiven ………in the end

Could be a good thing
Could be a bad thing
Who can tell …..how these things go 
Could be a good thing
Could be a bad thing
Don’t ask me……… I don't know

Old man at the table in the bar-room
Takes a breath and gives a little smile
Drinks his beer …..and thinks about a whiskey 
Just a little comfort…….. for a while

Could be a good thing
Could be a bad thing
Who can tell …..how these things go 
Could be a good thing
Could be a bad thing
Don’t ask me……… I don't know

Young man reaches the crossroads
Wondering if somebody switched the signs
His heart says … take the high road
His head says … that’ll be just fine

Could be a good thing
Could be a bad thing
Who can tell …..how these things go 
Could be a good thing
Could be a bad thing
Don’t ask me……… I don't know

Could Be A Good Thing

Started with the guitar at the age of 14 when living in Portugal, and since then I have been studying with several teachers, and stiles, as Jazz in "Taller de Musics" from Barcelona, Bossa Nova with all the records of Tom Jobim and Joao Gilberto, and have also attended to the Guitar Craft courses, directed by Robert Fripp.

Now, currently living in Barcelona (Spain), I'm a guitarist, singer, multi-instrumentist, producer and songwriter, and I love to explore the possibilities of music thru the tools and experience I have gained over the years. The great value of the uniqueness of the moment music occurs is a gift that I make sure to enjoy and share as much as possible. 

Available for recordings, live shows, lessons, and more.
