FRIED RICE

Death Train

Rain drops
Smell of sulfur
As the tower's in pain

Painted lungs
And feeling older
As months go by in a day

Deer carcass 
In the railway
Pause the commuting of the lay

Man, in the city
And its all grey
Guess the sun got shy again


And it's 
Not so easy to be this cold
Wish the rain would wash away this world
And it's too easy to be told
When being told is all you...


Know!
There's a reason to be distraught
But that's no reason to give up
There's a season to be wrong 
But now seize all what belongs!

==========================
Lyrics:

My life fades away, am I being replaced
Will I prevail or will I fail
Losing my ground, day after day
Can you hear, the sound of silence, my inner violence - waiting to find its passage out
Is this the endgame of my thoughts,
am I losing the weight of my f**kin words
This is the endgame of my presence and all
This is the endgame of my essence and all
 
Emptiness and void, my rightful joys,
leaving me wondering, the purpose and cause
The maze of life, not meant for all
Not meant for the ones, likely to fall
 
My essence keeps fading away
I won’t be contained
I can’t be replaced
 
Anger is here to stay
Am I destined to fade away - no, I won't be replaced
This cancelled time, my forthcoming joyless life - leaves me drifting
 
Programmed minds, leave humanity behind
The digits shall rule us all, the zeros the ones contain our thoughts
Trapped in this nightmare, created for all
What is left, the ghost in me or the ghost, in the machine
 
I gave my all, am I the one to fall
I gave my all,  who will listen my words
I gave my all, am I the one to fall
I gave my all, is there anyone who recalls
 
Don’t let my essence fade away, I can’t be replaced
I need to stay awake to find my way again
Or should I just, fade away

Programmed Minds

Hace ahora 50 años, me pidieron que compusiera una canción para Vicenta Mª López y Vicuña, religiosa nacida en Cascante (Navarra) y a la que iban a canonizar en Roma el 25 de mayo de 1975. Nunca pude hacer una versión digna y ahora, que se acerca el 50 aniversario, he podido grabarla.

Madre, a ti te cantamos

Al nacer la hermosa primavera
naciste, madre, como una flor
fuiste creciendo libre y guerrera
por lo que el Señor pronto te escogió
para servir de guía y bandera
a las mujeres sin protección.

Estribillo

Madre, a ti te cantamos
y te suplicamos
que a nuestro lado estés.
Madre, a ti te cantamos
con fe te pedimos
que ilumines nuestro ser. 

--------  

Al Señor tu vida le entregaste 
para que hiciese su voluntad
a los más pobres siempre te acercaste
con la intención de asesorar
y con pasión al riego te enfrentaste
con la firmeza de la verdad.

Estribillo

Nada más llegado el invierno
tu alma al cielo pronto voló
con tu semblante feliz y contento
pues dejabas bien hecha tu misión
necesitamos tu luz y tu aliento
los que llevamos hoy el timón.

Estribillo

Mother, we sing to you

At the birth of the beautiful spring
you were born, mother, like a flower
you grew free and warrior
so the Lord soon chose you
to serve as a guide and flag
to the unprotected women.

Chorus

Mother, we sing to you
and we beg you
to be by our side.
Mother, we sing to you
with faith we ask you
to illuminate our being.

--------

You gave your life to the Lord
so that he could do his will
you always approached the poorest
with the intention of advising
and with passion you faced the irrigation
with the firmness of truth.

Chorus

As soon as winter arrived
your soul soon flew to heaven
with your happy and content face
because you left your mission well done
we need your light and your breath
those of us who are at the helm today.

Chorus

Madre a ti te cantamos (Feat. Manuel Palomino)

That rusty old wagon
Rained fire from the sky 
Painted like a dragon 
Always ready for a fight 
Got a chip on my shoulder 
You got your wicked ways 
Little crusty and older
I’ll take it to my grave 

We told your sergeant,  you’re a sad old man 
I got the secrets, and fate in my hands 

Spilling from the beaker 
It’s what they seek 
The molecules demeanor 
I can see you Angelique 
Said you saw my vision  
Made your way out west 
Down at the mission 
Said he’s better off dead 

It’s over their head, like a sky so blue 
I told you man, we got nothin for you 

Our great aviator 
Built a grand machine
Peter was a traitor 
He never came clean 
So you want a ship 
A weapon for war 
No we can’t help you
Settle your scores 

Slap of the pistons, little rings of steam 
Lighter than air, deep back in our dreams
As you plan your retreat
We’re deep in our dreams 
It’s your time to concede  
We’re deep in our dreams

War Wagon

Home was full of landmines, each step unsure
Words like shrapnel, sharp and impure
The table shook when his shadow grew
We learned the script of what not to do

Eyes on the clock, hands never bold
A fragile child, too young to grow old
Walls held secrets, screams left their trace
We wore our silence like armor and grace

We’re written over, but never erased
Each line a layer, each wound interlaced
Ink from the past, yet here we persist
A palimpsest of scars and twists

I am the palimpsest, lines entwined
Old shadows whisper, but they’re redefined
Erase, rewrite, the page still holds
The story bends, but it’s never sold

The past lives on in subtle refrains
A flinch at kindness, the weight of chains
I scan the faces, I read the air
Still braced for storms that aren’t really there

His voice lingers in the back of my head
A phantom editor of words unsaid
Even love feels like a test to pass
A trembling echo in fragile glass

We’re written over, but never erased
Each line a layer, each wound interlaced
Ink from the past, yet here we persist
A palimpsest of scars and twists

I am the palimpsest, lines entwined
Old shadows whisper, but they’re redefined
Erase, rewrite, the page still holds
The story bends, but it’s never sold

The ink may bleed, but my hand is steady
The future waits, the pen is ready
What was a prison now feels like grace
I’ll draw new maps on the same old space

I am the palimpsest, bold and free
A story unbound, still writing me

Palimpsest

McGarrigle is of Irish-French Canadian background who, with sister Kate established themselves as folk-musical royalty: her children Martha and Rufus Wainwright continue the tradition..I'd sooner exile myself to outer space than make a partner feel like Anna does here, but despite the numbing sadness it's a joy to play and sing.
lyrics
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it, you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean
When harm is done no love can be won
I know it happens frequently
What I can't understand oh please God hold my hand
Why it had to happen to me
And it's only love and it's only love
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

Heart Like A Wheel

Northern Sky is a Detroit/London-based collaborative formed in 2021, crafting ethereal music that blends dreamy soundscapes with cinematic depth. Their music strikes a delicate balance between melody, emotion, and magic, influenced by timeless artists like Nick Drake and Norah Jones, as well as modern acts such as Beach House and The National.

At the heart of Northern Sky is Rose White, whose voice, like a soft breeze at twilight, guides the band’s sound with transcendent beauty. Supported by Eric Stajda, Dan Kendall, Steve Baker, and Andrea Di Fiore—who weave intricate layers of guitar, bass, drums, piano, synth, cello, and violin—the band creates soundscapes that are both fragile and infinite.

Northern Sky’s songs are vignettes, like postcards from distant places, carrying echoes of fleeting yet eternal memories. Tracks like "Paper Flowers," "Swimming in the Rain," and "Aurora" explore love, loss, and the bittersweet passage of time. Their music reflects the profound beauty found in life’s quietest moments, drawing inspiration from films that capture the magic in the everyday—Cinema Paradiso, Stolen Kisses, Sleepless Night in Paris, and Before Sunrise.

Northern Sky invites listeners to step into a world where music is not just heard, but felt deeply, offering a soundtrack for introspection, inspiration, and everything in between.

See You In Paris
