Years ago when I started writing songs, I only wrote them in Spanish. Then, along the way, I stopped and only wrote them in English. It's been years since I've written a song in my native tongue so I'm pretty excited about this song. It's called "La mórbida luz." I really hope you dig it, even if you don't speak Spanish.

La mórbida luz (no trumpet version)

Ser del mar que nada
al ritmo de ola tan pasmada,
al ver la falla del ayer.
Arropa la corriente con su
ancla en el coral,
al ver el agrio tren pasar.

Se entrampa en el escollo
del croquis
y se resigna al desecho fértil.

Esa trampa no le hará sufrir
y esa tarde no le hará sentir
la agonía de la desnudez.
Rompe el faro para no volver
y arruina la cosecha.

Ser de la esfera que vuela
al ritmo de la madrugada
ya ve el vaivén de la piel.
Por más que aletea
ya no se puede sostener.
Se cae en la granja de la sed.

Se embriaga de semillas
del erial
y se entrega a la tierra pestífera.

Ser del mar

Meditação

Mike Hamel is a singer/songwriter with a bit of a different approach.
 
   "Usually the term singer - songwriter takes on a folk ideal - very laid back and flowery. But my music is so much more than that," he explains. "It's visceral, it's energetic, it's passionate..."
 
     Based out of Beacon, NY, Mike has earned his stripes spending close to a decade playing in a variety of projects. Doing so has earned him a faithful following in fans spanning all genres. Lately, Mike splits his time between his original work and several other musical ventures. Even a quick look at his Facebook page will give you a glimpse into the projects he is involved in.

 After the release of "Where the Change Is" (2012), Mike has been cultivating songs for his sophomore release titled "Truth" (2015), which is now available online and in some choice brick-and-mortar retailers. 
 
   "I can't wait to put this new record out. The songs span such a wider range than 'Change' does. There's more rocking songs, there's more down-tempo, vibey tunes... you'll definitely see a progression from the last disc," says Hamel.
 
     Mike Hamel is available for live shows (covers and/or originals), studio sessions, or backup performing. Send an inquiry at the Contact page for more information on your request.
