Nice, particularly the voice inflections by Janice.

Thank y'all for the comments!  We do appreciate it.

Desde lo alto del valle, una luz alumbra el nuevo cancionismo alternativo: el "Faro" de Las Nietas del Charli, el proyecto que las hermanas María y Raquel Rubio forman, con una sensibilidad especial por crear un equilibrio entre el folk alternativo, las armonías vocales, los textos profundos y las melodías redondas. 

"Faro" es el debut que pone en circulación a unas Nietas del Charli que llevan siendo un secreto a voces en el circuito alternativo de la canción de autor, compartiendo imaginario con proyectos como Perotá Chingó, Club del Río, Churupaca, María de la Flor o Emilia y Pablo, por armar un arco de compañerxs generacionales; pero también miran mucho más allá estas primeras seis canciones. Miran los bosquejos del primer Bon Iver o el primer José González, así como también entienden la deriva de cancionistas sin género, que tocan hueso sin pasar por la carne, como pueden ser Maria del Mar Bonet o Sílvia Pérez Cruz. 

Pero, sobre todo, este primer cancionero de Las Nietas del Charli las ubica en un espacio absolutamente propio, donde cada una de las postales-canciones que van presentando ayudan a armar un troquelado de emociones intensas y honestas, embriagadoramente bellas y necesarias, de las que nos abren en canal con la primera escucha y nos ayuda a entender nuestra propia vulnerabilidad.

Three minutes before the bus …

Your words,
Your smile,
Eyes do not lie.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Cheek to cheek
Our will is weak.
Kiss me, kiss me
Let’s dive in deep.

Our tender hands 
Trying a shared life to pretend.
But three minutes can’t replace
A lifetime full of grace.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Cheek to cheek
Our will is weak.
Kiss me, kiss me,
Let’s dive in deep.

Our touch touches all,
Our body and our soul. 
But three minutes can’t replace
A lifetime full of grace.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Your words,
Your smile,
Eyes do not lie.

Summer Rain

Golden light all around
Shadows stretching on the ground
Feel the beat in my soul
World is spinning
Lose control.....

Golden Light

The chance to make music with Debra is always so rewarding, and this wonderful tune composed by @debra_buesking was no exception!  For some reason this music made me remember laying in a field as a kid, and staring up at a lark high above me, singing its song in a big blue sky.

Low Whistle: Philleann

Soul Stealer
outa my dream you walked into sight
I thought I'd finally seen the light
and though your eyes shone that night
I didn't know you were a soul stealer

I didn't offer it for sale, it got stole
maybe it had all been foretold
but you carried me over our threshold
I didn't know you were a soul stealer

for many years you played me hard
I'd been better off just left scarred 
but I let you tear down my guard
I didn't know you were a soul stealer

you took me out to the crossroad
I saw the signs but never slowed 
should have known what it forebode
I know now you are a soul stealer

yeah you are a soul stealer
