49. Stay Away

50. Passing

Song a Week 16, week 51. Theme was Christmas. Trying out lyrical story-telling for once, mixing in Vince Guaraldi inspired harmonies. I ended up sounding like a normal person somehow. 

Lyrics:
Dawn awakes, its crisp air makes me 
Wish I had my old wool coat 
Christmas of another year 
A day of warmth in bitter cold

Smiles and nods from passersby 
Throughout the day and into the night. 
Sun sets in red, the day is ending. 
Night brings life to blinking lights

— Christmas Day, winter white, city grey, colored lights 
Another Christmas has come and left me 
Christmas Night, colors of life fade to grey, waning light 
Another Christmas has come and left me —

A lovely family, hand in hand
 Laughs of fog, cheeks all red 
Dad swings the little one up in 
The air, she squeals and kicks ahead

Mother watches both with joy 
Dad looks back, a loving pair
 I looked at Sarah, once, like that 
And swung Christine up in the air

This Christmas scene to me reminds 
No man has had a better family than I 
If only we had had more time
 If only I had stayed in their lives

— Christmas Day, winter white, city grey, colored lights 
Another Christmas has come and left me
 Christmas Night, colors of life fade to grey, waning light 
Another Christmas has come and left me —

Getting colder, getting darker
 I can’t feel my brittle bones 
My collected coins and teeth are rattling
 Need to find a makeshift home

Two more blocks until the station
 I’ll curl up on a subway bench 
But my legs beg me to stop 
Short breath tells me to rest

Just resting my tired eyes a bit 
A second while I catch my breath 
One moment then I’ll up and split 
But for now, I’ll lay here and rest

— Christmas Day, winter white, city grey, colored lights 
Another Christmas has come and left me 
Christmas Night, colors of life fade to grey, waning light 
Another Christmas has come and left me —

Moñecho is the recording moniker of Williamsport, Pennsylvania native Matthew James Serra. Moñecho blends elements of disparate musical palettes into a cohesive entity, combining elements of experimental rock, folk, ambient, various non-Western musics, classical, and metallic heaviness. This osmosis is a result of the broad and varied interests and studies of the composer, as Matt has studied multiple genres from different instrumentation and perspectives, including flamenco, jazz, electronic sound design, classical, and more. Moñecho compositions are characteristically dense while retaining listenability, using introverted passages to emphasize the extroverted climaxes and vice versa.
