Wild Irish Rose

This song is about several wonderful experiences spent in Irish pubs in the US and Europe, time spent with friends, embracing the energy of a night out in the city, seeing, feeling, and experiencing new and exciting things.  The outro originally used the lyrics from a great Irish song by the Clancy Brothers but being that I don’t have permission to use their lyrics In the song, I’ve written my own to replace them.
Italic/Underline = Harmonies

Verse 1:
I feel like dancing, and I want to dance with you
These city streets come alive at night with you
And if you’ll be my girl
I’ll show you my whole world
I’ll let you in
Inside my head
We’ll dance until you understand
And I’ll hold you the whole night through
Verse 2:  
It starts raining 
Neon signs reflect on the street
Drenched completely, yeah, we hit the pub for a drink
The jukebox plays our song.
The whole bar sings along
We all join hands to sing and dance
We fell in love in an Irish pub
It may sound strange but it felt just right 
Come on and sing along…..
Bridge/Outro
Oh, whiskey
Fallen Angels
A smile on your face
The entire room is spinning 
while time stand in its place
Sweet kisses on my lips
Your nectar in my brain
My Wild Irish Rose, you’re my lover

Wild Irish Rose

"Tea with Debussy & Pärt in Casablanca" is a musical dream that bloomed during my vacation in Havana, Cuba. Inspired by classical masterpieces from Arvo Pärt and Claude Debussy, I envisioned an imaginary encounter with these esteemed composers in Casablanca, over Moroccan tea.

This piece is not an imitation of their styles but rather a heartfelt conversation between us. It embodies the essence of typical conversations in Morocco, where we all speak at the same time, meandering from topic to topic, and experiencing numerous changes of atmospheres, tempi, textures, and fragments of thematic material.

It begins with minimalist touches, a nod to Pärt's recent works, where the piano introduces serene arpeggios, intertwining with heartfelt viola melodies. As we delve into our tea time, I incorporate some of Debussy's harmonic vocabulary. 

Throughout our harmonious dialogue, the piece mirrors the dynamic nature of conversations in Morocco. We experience moments of collective excitement, where the music swells with vibrant textures and lively tempi, as if everyone is speaking at once. Themes and motifs emerge and intertwine, mirroring the meandering nature of our discussion as we navigate from one topic to another.

As our musical journey unfolds, our collaboration celebrates cultural fusion, weaving together Pärt, Debussy, and my artistic zest. Each voice contributes to the narrative, inviting moments of wonder and contemplation through our shared inspirations.

Lyrics 
EL CANTAR DEL ROBLE
Autor: Fito del Rio

Antes de hacerse armazón del laúd
Antes de sentir las cuerdas vibrar
Antes de las melodías primeras
El roble supo cantar

Antes de ser esta nota perpetua
Antes del swing del hachazo final
Desde el instante en que besó a la tierra
El roble supo cantar
El roble supo cantar

OHOHHOHOHOHOHOH

Antes de dar sortilegio a mis manos
Y refugiar su grito en mi canción
Antes de ser el principio y el verbo
El roble tuvo su voz

Y ahora un hachazo me roza la espalda
Como un presagio de muerte inusual
Soy sancionado a la suerte del roble
Por repetir su cantar
Por repetir su cantar

OHOHHOHOHOHOHOH
OHOHHOHOHOHOHOH

Quién me condena la garganta.
Quién crucifica mi cantar
Si aunque lo ahoguen con tanta desesperanza
Tras el cadalso siempre habrá otro despertar

Quién me maldice y quién me juzga
Quién da la orden y me frena la canción
Sepan, que cuando me silencie quien me insulta 
Yo como el roble, cantaré desde otra voz

OHOHHOHOHOHOHOH
OHOHHOHOHOHOHOH

Short acoustic track written in the key of A minor, which si the key I have been, for some unknown reason, writing in lately.

It Was Always You

I've got seven bottles of water.
Two more to piss in.
I'd like to get things sorted.
But I don't know where to begin.
I'm glad I tore myself apart.
I didn't know which way to start.
What was begun?
I'll know that answer when I'm done.

My brothers are little rich kids.
My sister is the same.
While I'm stealing firelighters.
Living just to clear my name.
I've just one question before we start.
Should I be taking this to heart?
What's mine is mine?
I'll find out somewhere down the line.

My friends are going crazy.
Chase American dreams.
And I would join their party,
But I don't know what that means.
The 'truth' is nonsense, it would seem.
They're living someone else's dream.
Sit worlds apart.
I should have realised from the start.

I'm starting now to see.
(You) Don't create a thing for me.
Seem half destroyed by infamy.
Consider this, my litany.
Sulphides will rot away your heart.
I took a look back to the start.
No chosen one.
Your shadows blocking out my sun.

What's done is done.

Sometimes, I really feel.
Like no one can beat me.
But then I go and lose again,
You know the outcome by the end 
You know it just don't bother me.
I'm used to losing it would seem.
A sacred art.
That I've been learning from the start.

Six, E, Q, U, J, Five, Wow!
It isn't fucking aliens.
Get back down to earth now. 
There is no value to your art.
You should of known this from the start.
You're not divine.
Despite the memories in your mind.

Apeman, spaceman, later than creation.
Homebird, prison, from whence has arisen?
Lord, will you still my beating heart?
I should of known it from the start.
What's done is done.
They never said you were the one.

What's done is done.
What's done is done.

What's Done is Done
