laid-back, but nonetheless trippy, blues ... nice

Name That Tune #487 by Matt Monro

" BONES OF YOU "

https://li.sten.to/sacrificio

"Canción Expósita" es una especie de última canción de amor. Se trata de otro tipo de sacrificio... de entregarse, de saltar abrazado al miedo, pero saltar."

Fito del Rio es un músico, compositor e intérprete habanero, de formación autodidacta. La base lírica de sus composiciones está apoyada en la cancionística cubana de la Nueva Trova y el Movimiento del Rock Nacional Argentino como referencia. La Granja surge como respuesta al medio social y artístico, dándole contemporaneidad y riqueza tímbrica/rítmica a sus canciones,  rompiendo las fronteras genéricas que le circundan. En sus canciones se mezclan elementos como samples, drums pad y loops con la instrumentación clásica de una banda de rock.

Lyrics Canción Expósita

Y detrás del beso, llega el miedo y planta una duda:
¿Cuánto durará esta vez?
¿Cuánto quedará después?
¿Cuánto, cuánto, cuánto?
¿Y cuántas veces vendrán lluvias sin huracán?
¿Cómo saber si quedarse o escapar?
Si al fin siempre volverá a llover

La corriente me llevó muchas veces a aguas oscuras.
No me quejo la verdad
Supe de profundidad
Y aunque tantos cantos
Llenaron la superficie
Hoy no son más que la humedad
Que me queda en los recuerdos
Y va inundándonos de ayer

Yo que prometí no hacerte canción
Porque hoy me da miedo la deriva
Entiendo que en cada riesgo puede estar la vida.

Yo me prometí no hacerte canción
Porque significaría aceptar que 
Te me vas haciendo de lloviznas y de mares.

Entiendo que en cada riesgo puede estar la vida.

Te me vas haciendo de lloviznas y de mares.

CONFESSION

Everybody has a story, even the "Unknowns".  Yet, are we willing to stop, take a moment, and listen?  Can you talk to a stranger, listen to a person in need, or ask if a family needs help?  Or, is it easier to walk past, drive by, or dismiss a silent cry for help.  

These two stories are true...told from my perspective.  The initial verse speaks of a family stranded in an affluent area of town with all of their belongings hidden behind a commercial trash receptacle.  They were recently homeless and had nowhere to go.  We helped with shelters and money to provide a hotel.  This family told us that we were the ONLY people to offer help...

The second part of the song is about an older man sitting in the rain at a gas station in rural Texas.  He sat with his head down and almost motionless.  I purchased a meal from the store and gave it to him...without hesitation he accepted the food and frantically started eating.  He didn't ask for anything, he wasn't "begging", he was just hungry and exhausted.  This experience rocked me to my core...because I had so much, never hungry, never cold, and a loving family...but to see a man who didn't have the basic necessities of comfort, sit amongst everyone just walking past him...I cried.

When/if we see a person who may need assistance will someone, anyone, take a few minutes from their day and to just "listen".  For, they are the Unknown with a story that is Untold...

"The Unknowns" JTR 43 Productions Nov 2025

Verse 1	(0:23)	
We see you standing outside
Searching for a place to hide
No doors to lock or windows to close
Virgin nights are always so cold

Verse 2 (0:32)
You were just one paycheck away
To keeping your home for another 30 days
Stranded on the curb, possessions in tow
As you have no place to go

Melody A (0:43)
The world is cold and it darkens your soul
The Sunday message has been forgotten by most
Tell me your story, where is home
You're not Unknown

Melody B (1:03)
He says:  I don't want much, but I am hungry and tired
You see the sun is warm, my mouth is dry
I worry that my family will sleep at my side
They need a place for the night

Verse 3 (1:25)
This man doesn't beg
His white hair curled on his head
His eyes glued to the ground
Too afraid to even make a sound

Verse 4 (1:34)
Nourishing his soul with kindness and food
Because it's the least I could do
My car is warm but I can't drive
Watching him eat with tears in my eyes

Melody A (1:44)
The world is cold and it darkens your soul
The Sunday message has been forgotten by most
Tell me your story, where is home
You're not Unknown

Vocal Bridge (2:05)
Take some time to just lend a hand
Their situation was never planned
Spend a few minutes before you go
And be a voice.......for the Unknown

Piano Bridge (2:26)

Melody B (2:46)
I don't want much, but I am hungry and tired
You see the sun is warm, my mouth is dry
I worry that my family will sleep at my side
They need a place for the night
