Years ago when I started writing songs, I only wrote them in Spanish. Then, along the way, I stopped and only wrote them in English. It's been years since I've written a song in my native tongue so I'm pretty excited about this song. It's called "La mórbida luz." I really hope you dig it, even if you don't speak Spanish.

La mórbida luz (no trumpet version)

"É Preciso Perdoar" was written by Alcivando Luz and Carlos Coqueijo. João Gilberto recorded it and released it on his 1973 self-titled album known as the "white album" (he has another self-titled album from 1961).

I'm pretty sure he was the first one to record this song. I'm not sure if Alcivando and Coqueijo wrote it specifically for him. It is one of my favorite Gilberto recordings, and that's saying a lot.

This here is my homemade attempt at playing this beautiful number. I hope you dig it.

É Preciso Perdoar

Ser del mar que nada
al ritmo de ola tan pasmada,
al ver la falla del ayer.
Arropa la corriente con su
ancla en el coral,
al ver el agrio tren pasar.

Se entrampa en el escollo
del croquis
y se resigna al desecho fértil.

Esa trampa no le hará sufrir
y esa tarde no le hará sentir
la agonía de la desnudez.
Rompe el faro para no volver
y arruina la cosecha.

Ser de la esfera que vuela
al ritmo de la madrugada
ya ve el vaivén de la piel.
Por más que aletea
ya no se puede sostener.
Se cae en la granja de la sed.

Se embriaga de semillas
del erial
y se entrega a la tierra pestífera.

Ser del mar

Written by Carlos Lyra and Vinicius de Moraes.

Recorded this on my old iPhone. This Jarabe de Palo song is a staple of my early teens.

La Flaca

The Neighbourhood stopped by at Radio1's Late Live Lounge last night (Thursday 24th) and played a surprise Destinys Child / Justin Timberlake mashup alongside performing current single 'Let It Go'. Listen to the track below.

Letra de piel

I recorded this on my phone back in May. I wasn’t planning on uploading it but it’s been almost a month since I put something on SoundCloud, so I figured I post this. I’m doing a version similar to Lisa Ono’s which in turn is similar to Astrud Gilberto’s version from 1965.
