lovely all the way, such sunny happy feel :)

Huge time I've spent listening to your new songs Peter. Thanks a lot.

Fantastic! Everything is awesome! Wow so exciting!

This track makes me want to drop my salsa at a table in a café' and samba my way to the dance floor like a boss (a nova)! haha Great work Peter!  Dieser Track bringt mich dazu, meine Salsa an einem Tisch in einem Café fallen zu lassen und mich wie ein Boss (ein Nova) auf die Tanzfläche zu sambaen!

beautiful - what language is this Peter?  And wishing you a healthy and happier 2022

Solías decirme 
Que todo saldría bien 
Pero sólo mentiste 
Porque todo salió alrevés

Pero cuando me mentiste a mi
Tú también te mentiste a ti 

Róbame las ganas de morir 
Las ganas de rendirme 
Todo sigue igual 
Luego tú te marchas
Mientras la esperanza 
Hace que me vuelva irracional 

Y cuando vuelvas a mi
No quiero volver a verte huir
No quiero volver a verte

Solías decirme 
Que todo saldría bien 
Pero sólo mentiste 
Porque todo salió alrevés

Pero cuando me mentiste a mi
Tú también te mentiste a ti 
Pero cuando me mentiste a mi
Tú también te mentiste a ti 

Y cuando vuelva a ti 
No quiero volver a verte ir
Yo vivo a mi manera
Siempre estoy en una verdadera rebelión
Y se que cuando creas que es el fin
Estaré a tu lado siempre aquí 
Y seras mi primera 
Decision tomada con debida reflexion 

Disculpa las maneras
Yo vivo a mi manera
Disculpa las maneras que hay en mi
Yo vivo en rebeldía siempre aquí

Yo vivo a mi manera
Disculpa las maneras
Y serás mi primera decisión
Tomada con debida reflexión

Pink On Blue

I know u r hiding
Hiding in a mirror
I know u go Mad
Mad behind my Back

Pink on Blue

u got a pocket
a pocket full of stones
come on let them jump
jump over deep water

Pink On Blue

We know it all fake
But we dont care
Call it a shake
say its Not Fair

Pink On Blue

We left a message
Carved into our Skin
Stay in a cage
A safe place to live in

Pink On Blue

You know that I am hiding
Hiding in the Inside
U know i go mad
Mad on everything outside

Pink On Blue

The Stones in your Pockets
Keep Calming me down
Come on find a river
A river full of Stones

Pink On Blue - Westfront & Moon Dust

unknown land

Love is stupid
I’m falling in love anyway
Like a tree in the forest, I can’t just run and hide
I’ll fall for that damn lumberjack some day 

Love is dumb
here i go again, anyway
that sawdust-covered bumpkin stirs his coffee with his thumb 
I’ll fall for that damn lumberjack some day 

mama says there’s no such thing as love
just couples fighting for the upper hand
mama says love is just like flying
and stepping off the plane before you land

love, i think i’ll wait 
not the time to fiddle with the flame
You always get burned. How come I never learn? 
I’m gonna fall for that damn lumberjack some day

coda
maybe soon, maybe later
but I’ll fall for that damn lumberjack one day

Love Is Stupid (Timber)

This track is the result of collaboration with the wonderful vocalist Sar Araion, who brilliantly managed to convey the depth of the lyrics of the great Russian poet Arseny Tarkovsky

If only, as before 
I were proud, 
I would leave you forever, 
I would split my Kingdom in two.
 All the things I can never part with, 
all that is not worth effort.
I would say; you carry away 
with you a hundred promises, 
a hundred holidays, a hundred words. 
You can take them with you.
And to me there is only cold dawn, 
One hundred belated trams 
and one hundred raindrops 
on the tram tracks, 
A hundred alleys,
a hundred streets 
and a hundred 
drops of rain, 
running after me.

Если б, как прежде, я был горделив,
Я бы оставил тебя навсегда.
Всё, с чем расстаться нельзя ни за что,
Всё, с чем возиться не стоит труда, —
Надвое царство моё разделив.

Я бы сказал:
             — Ты уносишь с собой
Сто обещаний, сто праздников, сто
Слов. Это можешь с собой унести.

Мне остаётся холодный рассвет,
Сто запоздалых трамваев и сто
Капель дождя на трамвайном пути,
Сто переулков, сто улиц и сто
Капель дождя, побежавших вослед.

(Lyrics) He Rides The Night :

He rides the night looking for a ruby...
is he riding the line for me...
I know I am a good girl...
but I can not set him free...

Always in his heart...
always in his soul...
always in his heart...
always in his soul...

I could be a glass figurine but my ballerina is in ruins..
do I fix my hair down or in an updo…
the slamming here is cruel...

SANTA FE EXPRESS  (July 2020)
Right in the middle of a wonderful solitary road trip heading out to the great South-West, I wrote a tune which I decided to title “Santa Fe Express”.  Even though it was about 3 years before I actually had the opportunity to finish this track in 2020, I still remember the moment this musical idea came about  (May, 2017) while noodling around with some motifs on my travel guitar.  After a long 10-hour day of highway driving, I was finally settled into my hotel room in the town of Springfield, Missouri.  At this point I knew my final destination, Santa Fe, New Mexico, was only a couple days away. Even though I was a bit exhausted, I was also very much excited about the discoveries and fun that I knew would come my way in the next couple weeks. I was anticipating how I was going to be reuniting with my wife, and other family members and friends, in which we all would be exploring the beautiful area surrounding Santa Fe.  I guess that emotional energy inspired me at that moment. 

When I compose music, I often like to paint a picture that represents an experience in life. “Santa Fe Express” is, in my opinion, a good representation of that experience as I embarked on that exciting four day journey from Philadelphia, PA to Santa Fe, NM. 

For those musicians out there that might appreciate details about this track… I think one of the coolest things about this composition is a curious shift from a minor mode to a major mode that takes place halfway through the tune.  Even though the underlying motif (or the suggestions of the motif) exists almost throughout the entire track, the first half is based in minor (which for me represents the first couple days on the road that had it’s moments of trepidation). After the obvious bridge (symbolizing my recognition of progress), the track propels forward with a more uplifting major feel (which for me represents the joy coming from the anticipation of all the cool things that I have yet to experience down the road).

Along with the many awesome discoveries that followed after arriving to my ultimate destination, I found out there is in fact a train named Santa Fe Express (a.k.a. Rail Runner), that has daily runs back and forth to Albuquerque, NM. Just coincidence… but somehow a confirmation that this tune was meant to be.

For various reasons it took a few years to finally have the time to complete this project.
Better late than never!
I hope you all dig and enjoy my latest track!
