lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Well you know that…
I woke up dreaming
Slipped into a thought
That the roof is on the ceiling
And chairs walk through doors
Then I try to change the way
Things shouldn’t have been
To turn back the clocks again
And make a smile reappear

Outta control / get outta control / 
Cos I’m outta control / way out of control
It got out of control / now we’re outta  control
So out of control / all out of control

Now what’s left don’t look right
Grey skies keep you down
So I bought a new plot play
To get these feet from the ground
I made up masquerade missions
But hiding as the real me
And the plan of the year?
Just to make the world feel
Well if I’m still dreaming
Can better ones still be taught
Cos this reality is too costly
To not jump overboard 

Outta control / get outta control / 
Cos I’m outta control / way out of control
It got out of control / now we’re outta  control
So out of control / all out of control
Outta control / getting
Outta control / getting
Outta control / I’m getting
Out of control
Outta control / getting 
Outta control / getting 
Outta control / you’re getting
Out of control
Outta control / I’m getting
Outta control / you’re getting
Outta control / we’re getting
Out of control

Out of control
We’re out of control
All out of control
We’re all out of control

Out of Control (still)

The Illusion of control

I was fortunate to attend the International Health Institute conference in London last month and there were sessions run by a woman so passionate and committed to change to improve the delivery of healthcare to the masses and I thought her partner would be so proud . . .

Eccentricity so Beautiful

While life and limb can shatter          
It’s only hearts that matter - In our world - Darlin’ girl
You’re out there proselytizing.
And it’s so mesmerising - that’s your way – an ordinary day   

Something about you rising up      
Is cutting through my filling heart - it’s only love
On your soap box agent change
With so much to de-arrange - with a blast
            
Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Those rank iconoclasts
Bathe in their master class - impervious - in Ivory towers
Talk as if they’ve got the plan
Line up and shake their hands - feel the grip - the hand of power

You’re raisin’ it from ground up
Changing at the speed of trust – with such feel 
Building leaders everywhere
Co-produce no limit skies – that’s our dream

Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Exhausted but so energized - Trying to catch you in the eye - Need you close. 
I call you aphrodisiac - Hotel room take care of that – 
On that note

ECCENTRICITY SO BEAUTIFUL

Cast of Characters:
John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin
The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony on the end vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– banjo, production, and mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, melody and harmony on the end vocals
This song began with John, who is a verifiable expert in all things Jimmy Page, asking Josh and the Eclectic Collective if they'd like to cover another Led Zeppelin song to follow Hey Hey What Can I Do? Of course, the Eclectic collective is always down to sink their teeth into some of the best rock and roll ever made. John found us recordings of the original Zep version that were separated into their individual tracks, so as we were adding, we could hear what our part would've sounded like playing with the original band. What a thrill!
  Ken was first to complete his part, and did a great job of capturing the frenetic energy of Bonzo. John was up soon after, amazing us with a note for note interpretation of Page on both the guitar and mandolin. Josh came next, after nearly deciding that JPS's part was too difficult. It wasn't. Then, when the bulk of the music was recorded, MD came through and stunned us with a brilliant interpretation of Plant's vocals. To bring it to a boil, Stephen then laid down his magical banjo in there, too. Lasty, Ken and Josh polished it off with some background vocals at the end. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, who in this case was Stephen. He managed to even it out and get it to sound not only like the album, but very dynamic, as well. 
  This is the EC's second collaboration with John, and we're all stricken by how proficient he is at playing Page's material. If you dig what we did here, you can check out the video, too, right here, of us playing. It's on John's YouTube page, which also contains scores of other favorites from Zep, Floyd, and others. If you are interested in seeing how your favorite Zep tunes were played, it's definitely worth a stroll through and watch.  Here's the link to his page. Also, you can find us doing Hey Hey What Can I Say? on there, too.  https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=7YqvUXLKkuXT4qjy
  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Haunting One Seven

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

This track is a little nuts.....

If you've ever battled a raccoon, this is the song for you, sung from the perspective of the perpetrator. Raccoons are wily little buggers and more than a little guile is needed to control the movements of an animal that has been trapped in a cage before.

Debated with myself a bit on adding more instruments and sounds but in the end decided that less was more. The "rhythm guitar" is a distorted saturated synth and the "lead" is a Logic Pro Heavy Metal guitar manipulated with the pitch stick on my synth. The difficult part was getting the swing on the drums right and the ADSR right on the main synth, modulation and LFO. Also played a bit with the compression to get a breathing sound.

About the raccoon - that battle is ongoing - physical deterrence is now in place.

The raccoon, also spelled racoon and sometimes called the common raccoon or northern raccoon to distinguish it from the other species, is a mammal native to North America. It is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in), and a body weight of 5 to 26 kg (11 to 57 lb). Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur, which insulates it against cold weather. The animal's most distinctive features include its extremely dexterous front paws, its facial mask, and its ringed tail, which are common themes in the mythologies of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas surrounding the species. The raccoon is noted for its intelligence, and studies show that it is able to remember the solution to tasks for at least three years. It is usually nocturnal and omnivorous, eating about 40% invertebrates, 33% plants, and 27% vertebrates. [Wikipedia]

NEVER LOSE

Keep on coming back
Doesn’t really matter 
Spicy red American 
Coyote piss whatever

Turn up the volume
Tie up the bait 
Bag it all, close the door
I don’t give a damn

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

I know what’s down under
I know what you’re trying to hide

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

Keep on coming back
Never ever mattered
Inca mountain flake 
Apple cider try

Play rock’n’roll
Talk show or news
Heard it all before
Kinda like it now

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

Time is on my side
Time is my legal guardian

Find another way
Find your hidden weakness 
Seen you from above
You can try again
All over and again

Keep on coming back
Its never gonna matter
Flashing disco lights
I’ll do a pirouette

Put a ring on it
I’ll go left or right
I’m coming down
I got you number

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

I know where you live
I know when you’re asleep

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

I never lose
I never lose
I never lose
I never lose

Keep on
Keep on coming back
Keep on
Keep on coming back

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

I never lose

Never Lose

This track was inspired by my fav film 'The Warriors', it's old now but I found it, posted it.. see how it goes

Not Coming Back

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
NO MORE JOY NO MORE PAIN OUT OF SIGHT
SITTING IN MY GARDEN, MAN, A ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
PLENTY OF SUSPENDED TIME ON MY HANDS
NOW I’M HERE HERE AND NOW
THAT’S WHERE I STAND
ROCKING IN MY ROCKING CHAIR
MADE OF AIR

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
NO MORE BALLS NO MORE CHAIN WELL ALRIGHT
SIPPING AT MY ICE COOL BEER THE ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
NEVER MIND THE BITTER END IN THE END
NOW I’M HERE NOW I’M HERE
NOW I’M HERE 
AND HERE TO STAY
CHECKING THE PALM OF MY HAND
MADE OF SAND

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS


NOW I’M HERE NOW I’M HERE
AND HERE I AM
HERE COMES THE CHILL OF THE FALL
MADE OF GOLD

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
WITH A BROKEN HEART TO MEND 
AND A ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
NOW I’M HERE

Once again,
I want to tell you,

a single mind,
you and me,
always together,

indivisible by two,
you and me,
always together,

I would like to give you back, everything you give me,

indivisible by two,

Original Lyrics that inspired Glen by Tony Harris
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem

HE GREW UP IN THE SOUTH IN THE 1920'S
WHEN WORK WAS HARD TO FIND
A YOUNG MAN IN HIS THIRTY'S
NO STRANGER TO THE DAILY GRIND

BACK IN THOSE DAYS OF OLD
MOST OF THE WELLS WERE DUG BY HAND
WATER WAS WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD
AND VERY IMPORTANT WHEN BUYIN' LAND

TO EARN EXTRA MONEY DURING HARD TIMES
HE DECIDED TO START DIGGIN' WELLS BY HAND
KNOWIN' IT WAS HARD WORK AND LONG HOURS
IT WAS GOIN' TO BE HIS SHORT TERM PLAN

(CHORUS)
AFTER DIGGIN' SEVERAL  WELLS BY HAND
THEY STARTED LAUGHTIN' AT THE YOUNG MAN
HIS WELL DIGGIN' REPUTATION WAS A JOKE
HE COULDN'T HIT WATER IF HE FELL OUT OF THE BOAT
HE COULDN'T HIT WATER IF HE FELL OUT OF THE BOAT

HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF WELL WATER WITCHIN'
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE THE WATER IS LOCATED
BEFORE YOU PICK UP A SHOVEL AND START DIGGIN'
IF YOUR GONNA BE A DEVOTED WELL DIGGER

HE NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO DO ANY RESEARCH
JUST PURCHASED HIS TOOLS AND STARTED DIGGIN'
WOUND UP BEING A WELL DIGGIN' JOKE
THAT COULDN'T HIT WATER IF HE FELL OUT OF THE BOAT

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(GUITAR SOLO)

(REPEAT CHORUS AND OUT)

Lyrics
You said you'd cut me 
after I cried I was drowning
just so you could pull you out 
of your misery
then you save me 
when I said was failing
so you could hail me nothing but 
an in-between
you then stood down 
your empty heart echoes
while holding back all 
your best dogs of war
you whispered three words
I love you
then shouted I never really 
said them before

Said them before 
but never felt them before
heard them before 
but never felt them before
she said 
I’ve felt before
but never felt this before
yeah I’ve said those three words 
but never felt love before

Well I can fall in love with you
if you
if you want me to
I’ll fall in love with you
but you 
you gotta love me too
you’ve gotta love me too
you’ve gotta love me true
Fall in
I’m falling
you look at me and you know 
I’m gonna fall in
I’m falling
I’ve fallen
you looked at me 
and you know I’ve already fallen
Cos I’m falling in muse 
with you
hope I
hope I amuse you too
hope I amuse you too
do I amuse you too?

and then you swore that I'd pay 
all the full price
to not just hang around 
and get the dream one free
so am I ready now 
for your fiction addiction
from déjà vu real you know 
you’ll never get clean
to lost memories 
we know we won’t remember
for all the words we’ll try say 
when we get old
why click forget 
on the things we once loved
when all our scars receipts are truly 
earned and sold
we're earned and sold 
bought the lies we were told
now just like you 
doing nothing but get old
Now I’ve fallen in love 
with you 
and I
I knew you wanted me to
show me you love me too
hope we can see this love through
Fall in
I’ve fallen
you looked at me and you know 
I've already fallen
Cos I’m falling in muse with you
hope I
hope I amuse you too
I’m falling in muse with you
hope I
hope I amuse you too
hope I amuse you too
hope I amuse you too
Cos I’m falling in muse with you
I’ll stop believing
That you’re deceiving
Now I’ve fallen in muse with you
I’ll shred our past
To make us last
now I’ve fallen in muse with you
I’ll never leave you
Always believe you
believe you
believe you
cos I’m falling in love
fallen in love
fallen in love

When Manuel sent me a guitar track over a year ago I fairly quickly decided to write an epilogue for Major Tom. Little did I know that I would end up taking a longish break from writing music. With infinite patience Manuel waited for me until now and to my even greater surprise this retro lyric has become almost current with the two NASA astronauts in space waiting for their return trip to Earth.



SEND ME A ROCKET
(MAJOR TOM THE EPILOGUE)

I can’t hear you 
Still I can see you
A cloudy ball in space
Nothing to keep it in place
This is my beautiful view
Nothing can make things right
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
This can’t be
This can’t be
My final fate

It’s been so long
It feels like you forgot me
Nobody cares about the shirts I wear 
Did you move onto something new
Cause I’m still looking at you
I’m still waiting for you

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Show me that you love me

You forgot so soon
It hurts all the time
You forgot I was a shining star
You wouldn't write enough about me
Oh, oh, I’m so sad

Send me some hope
Send me a rocket
Show me that you care
Send me some hope
Lighten your pocket
Show me that you love me
Send me some hope
Some hope

I can’t let go
I dream all the time
I wanna feel the sun and wind
I wanna go home

Stuck in my tin can
With no way out, out
Shiny and bright
Can you hear me shout, shout
I’m stuck here 
A deep longing
Hard to accept this 
Oh no, oh no
I want to go
Want to go
Want to go 
Want to go home
Go home
This can’t be
This can’t be

Send Me A Rocket

Send Me A Rocket | Major Tom The Epilogue

You Are The Moon

Days in the sun
Wonders of love

What we gave up
Can’t believe us
How could we not find a way forward?

Stars off course
A black hole in my heart
Pulls me 
Always with remorse

I feel the force
I fall apart
When I think of what we could have been

Jupiter spins
With 95 moons when 
Venus has not one
For lovers like us

Sunsets fading
I keep thinking
We could have made it
That could have been us
Could have been us

Love Love Love
Is such a fleeting light
Love Love Love
Is it worth the fight tonight

Tonight
I’m waiting all night

And I’m still willing to try
Is there a way for us to save us

I feel a pull
I feel our hearts
Gravitating

Is there a way for us to save us
a way to save us



Stars still off course
Rip open my heart
Fools pulled apart 
Once more

Love and divorce
The fight’s no more
And all I think 
What could have been 
Us

Jupiter spins
Even worlds end
Venus cools when
Lovers give up

Sunsets fading
I keep thinking
We could have made it
That could have been us.

A song I recorded back in late 2018/early 2019. Deleted for whatever reason. The section of intense vocals toward the end of this song I've used in another song called "Losing It" which I may re-record in the future. So be on the lookout for that familiar ending. Enjoy.

F*** You Money Demo

Written 11 years ago: recalls the days when music was vinyl only and a magical retreat from disabling matters of the heart


33 RPM NIRVANA

Flattened faces pressed up against the glass
It’s well known no-one needs to ask
People talking ‘bout how I’m feeling
If they were me yes they’d be reeling
They’d need time and recuperation
But at night I take up station
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away to 33 RPM Nirvana 

She’s a stranger that’s her right to choose
Who can blame her she don’t like old news
You might say she’s one go getter
And why did she not treat me better
I admit I loved her deeply
But right now I’m kind of sleepy
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away in 33 RPM Nirvana 

I’m pulling the curtains and switching it on
Watching the tone arm lower onto my black vinyl

Drifting away now the music is my river
Not analyzing I’m seeking separation
Through the mists of time I wander
What is life I’m bound to ponder
Gonna get to shrug my shoulders
Moving on and getting bolder
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away in 33 RPM Nirvana

33 RPM Nirvana

Lyrics
How can I move on from the past when I can’t remember half the things you want me to forget
And how can I prove I love you more than I’ve ever loved even if I’m living in regret
Tell me how am I supposed to feel now all my choices moved along to another’s chance to live that life instead
Please show me now what to think so I can choose the drink I drink and sleep in the middle of my empty bed

Sick and tired of your ups and downs my here and now’s fed sheep to cows least that’s the words I hear in my insane
Haunted by a choice I didn’t make stranded in true love feeling fake heartbreak lights blind a runaway train
I keep saving chances ‘til the next life holding out ‘til perfect feels right but every day just ends the same old same
Maybe if I get drunk I won’t feel as though I funked up without excuse ready for a blame 
Without the shame screaming out your name

Stuck in head space on my own
It’s a place I can’t get out of
Trapped in my mind and yet still
Too scared to feel the truth
Caught in between fate and fall
It’s a path I can’t choose from
Full of the facts that we bled
But I ain’t got no proof
You know I ain’t got no proof
No I ain’t got no proof
No I ain’t got no proof

You say I’ve had too much love hate relationship cashed too many get free certificates gotta find some inside love somehow
Ticked one more obligation over take me now I’m done getting older hope curtain’s calling waiting for my bow
Cos I don’t have the time I once had game’s half over mug is empty a square can’t fit into a hole that’s round
So I’m gonna make the best of here and now love you like you were the only one any love we have we’re lucky to have found
But with love like yours we’re always tied to the ground


Stuck in head space on my own
It’s a place I can’t get out of
Trapped in my mind and yet still
Too scared to feel the truth
Caught in between fate and fall
It’s a path I can’t choose from
Full of the facts that we bled
But I ain’t got no proof
You know I ain’t got no proof
No I ain’t got no proof
No I ain’t got no proof

Just cause I ain't got none don't mean there ain't none
Just cause I ain't got none you can't say I'm right or wrong
Because I ain't got none don't mean there ain't none
Because I ain't got none can't say I'm right or wrong
When loose lips get loose because I ain't got none
Can you still find your truth because I ain't got none
Should I just have faith because I ain't got none
Is it too little too late
always too little too late
too late 
But I ain't got no proof 
No I ain't got no proof

Proof

https://youtu.be/VJ2KmrrsUQA?si=Pm2C022UDJ6heHHI


So you take your bow / To embrace the down
Clutch a plan for tomorrow / In place of a now
Cos you’re half way to nowhere / Yet still nowhere near
That star in a jar / Drank too dry for tears

With your screwed up sense / Of what’ll go wrong
In your role play musical / Without any song
And with a tragic ending / Always guaranteed
It's the only way for a loser / To truly succeed

But you’ve been breaking your neck to waste your time (it’s your time it’s not a crime no)
Just so you can sit and watch the world go by (say goodbye just don’t try no)
It’s been breaking my heart watching you fade (and fade…and fade)
We know that those rings said forever what a close shave, a close shave a close shave

When the get one free / Is all you deserve
And you love to receive / But hate to serve
You're only racing / When nobody knows
Cos you’re King of the mountains / Where no one else goes
King of the mountains / Where no one else knows
You're King of the mountain’s Lonely echoes

But you’ve been breaking your neck to waste your time (it’s your time it’s not a crime no)
Just So you can sit and watch the world go by (say goodbye just don’t try no)
It’s been breaking my heart watching you fade (and fade…and fade)
We know that those rings said forever what a close shave a close shave a close shave
But you’ve been breaking your neck to waste your time (it’s your time it’s not a crime no)
Just So you can sit and watch the world go by (say goodbye just don’t try no)
It’s been breaking my heart watching you fade (and fade…and fade)
We know that those rings said forever what a close shave a close shave a close shave
Close / what a / shave / what a / close / what a / what a close shave
Close / what a / shave / what a / close / what a / what a close shave
Close / what a / shave / what a / close / what a / what a close shave

I HAD THIS DREAM, IT WAS LONG AGO
A MEMORY, OF A LOVER SONG
I REMEMBER WHEN WE FELL INTO THE GRASS
AND AFTER SCHOOL IT WENT SO LONG

BUT IN THAT DREAM, THE WORLD WAS ONE
NO MEMORY, MAY'BE TIME STOOD STILL
I REMEMBER ROCK'N AND DANCING TO THE SHOW
AND EVERY WEEKEND WENT SO FAST

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD STILL
(break)
I FELT PEACE, IN MY HEART AND SOUL
A MEMORY, IN A SONG FOR LOVE
I ONLY HEAR YOU IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
AND TIME STOOD STILL THERE FOR SO LONG

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD

Written, performed and recorded by John Your Mate and mixed and mastered by Gary Brady at Total Thrive.

Words:
I was lost for 24 years
And all of these pastures were new
Keys and the locks like hearts torn in two
The promises slipped from my view

I can’t be that strong
At five on the morning
I hear that breathe
I know that you’re thinking
Of all the shitstorms
At five in the morning
When your heart is racing
I know what you’re thinking

Paid the cost and shed all the tears
Cos time has its tolls to go through
Down below the cities are queued
The world now burns brighter for you

You only live once
So get the f*** up
And let's get unstuck
You only die once
So shut the f*** up
And make your own luck

Shitstorms, shenanigans and slapdowns

I know what you're thinking (Full song on Spotify)

I'll finish E-Ruizzo project with a conceptual LP album: 4 songs about 'Arctica Point'. I imagined it amid rotation axis, geographic north and magnetic pole, and I located it on dry land !! Then I draw the cover art.

This opening track tells the decision of leaving this annoying present by travelling to that magical place. The following ones tell the trip and life there.

Translated lyrics will explain it with more detail:

EXPEDICIÓN (EL MUNDO SE HACE PEQUEÑO)  /  EXPEDITION (THE WORLD GETS SMALL)

Cansado de vivir en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Tired of living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.

Cierro los párpados para no verlo,  /  I close my eyelids so as not to see it,
pero hay demasiadas cosas feas detrás de ellos.  /  but there are too many ugly things behind them.

Con los ojos cerrados veo mis recuerdos,  /  With my eyes closed I see my memories,
veo el presente que vivo y no quiero verlo.  /  I see the present I live in and I don’t want to see it.

Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Partiremos hacia donde los recuerdos se olvidan,  /  We will leave for where memories are forgotten,
donde el frío congela el dolor de la vida,  /  where cold freezes the pain of life,
donde el hielo y la nieve nos protege del hombre,  /  where ice and snow protect us from mankind,
donde el cuerpo y el alma se purifican.  /  where body and soul are purified.

Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,  /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,   /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
formemos una expedición ártica  /  let’s form an Arctic expedition

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Partiremos hacia donde el reloj no gira.  /  We’ll leave for where the clock doesn’t go round.
Partiremos hacia donde el tiempo no pasa,  /  We’ll leave for where time doesn’t go by,
al lugar donde seis meses sólo duran un día.  /  for the place where six months only last one day.

Viviendo en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.
Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Esperar no es lo único que haremos allí.  /  To wait is not the only thing we’ll do there.
Sabes que no es fácil sobrevivir,  /  You know it’s not easy to survive,
cuando no hay nada que te empuje a seguir.  /  when there’s nothing pushing you on.
