I started with a guitar loop and then built up from that using a few brass loops to add panache.
The idea wasn't to sound like spy movies, but by the time I finished this little ditty, Marivi said, "It sounds like a spy movie". 
It must be all the slow horses I've been reading lately; I can't get them out of my mind. 🙄

Recorded on a mac using Logic Pro.
The original guitar loop was recorded on my iPhone directly from my Tanglewood acoustic.
I then looped that into Logic and began writing little keyboard accompaniments. Added some classic Fat Boy slim samples and called it a day

A drink, Dear?

I made this song from a poem my father wrote.

Estantes e livros, livros e estantes.
Alguns mal lidos. Muitos por ler.
Nunca bastantes para entender.

Livros comprados, livros vendidos,
livros trocados, livros roubados, livros perdidos,
nunca bastantes, milhões que fossem, para compreender.
Livros cansaço, livros poeira,
livros engano da vida inteira,
livros muleta, livros falso braço...
Quantos eu dera! 
Quantos eu dera por um vero traço
dessa verdade tão traiçoeira
que, por entre os meus dedos, sempre se esgueira...

Was It All A Dream (2024)

I wanted to create something simple and special. This is not exactly a Christmas song, but since it became ready during Holiday season, I thought it would be a good idea to create a Holiday video as well. Hope you enjoy it!

WHAT IF

Is it true you’re not for me?
I’ve been trying to believe
In my life, you don’t belong 
Everything I do is wrong

Yes I’ve heard and understand
All you need is a good friend
Babe, it’s easier said than done
I’ve been trying for so long

What if I kiss you?
Is that alright?
Darling, I miss you
Alone at night

If you say “I’ll keep in touch”
But I shouldn’t expect too much 
In your world, there is just one sun
And you are my fleeting one

Maybe you’re right, and I should grow 
Learn that life is more than love
Let’s just stop to make believe
You and I were meant to be?

What if you miss me
Alone at night?
Don't think, just kiss me
And hold me tight

Seeds and teardrops
Barren land
Should we part, dear?
Or take a stand?

What if you miss me
Alone at night?
Don't think, just kiss me
And hold me tight

Don't think, just kiss me
And hold me tight
