yeaaaahhhh.. love this. I didn't know but I know now

Mystery from Nowhere

El 25 de mayo de 2020, tres agentes de la policía de Mineápolis, Minesota, EE.UU.,  torturaron y ejecutaron extrajudicialmente a un hombre afroamericano llamado George Floyd. En esa oportunidad, Tamika Danielle Mallory, una activista estadounidense, copresidenta de la Marcha de las Mujeres 2019, emitió un discurso acerca de la historia de la brutalidad policial, ejercida en EE.UU.,  sobre las personas afroamericanas. Este recordado y valiente discurso  de Tamika,  se viralizó en las redes sociales de todo el mundo. Sus palabras me tocaron fuerte,  a tal punto que me inspiraron para componer esta canción,  totalmente instrumental, a la que titulé “Levantamiento”. Está referida  a ese levantamiento social, que este desgraciado asesinato,  provocó  en el pueblo afroamericano de EE.UU., demandando justicia y fin de la brutalidad ejercida por la policía. Dedico también esta canción a todos los pueblos del mundo que alguna vez se levantaron o continúan  aún hoy  levantándose;  demandando no más violencia,  igualdad social, respeto a los derechos humanos, libertad y paz. Finalmente, aclaro, que esta canción de ninguna manera pretende ser  un llamado al “levantamiento” de los pueblos oprimidos, sino más bien,  sería como una especie de película que narra una historia basada en hechos reales, a fin de que el  conjunto de la sociedad tome conciencia de esa situación, reflexione y se active para que nunca más se repita. Recién ahora me animo a publicarlo y compartirlo con quien quiera escucharlo…    -  Gustavo Camargo.

On May 25, 2020, three police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, tortured and extrajudicially executed an Afro-American man named George Floyd. On that occasion, Tamika Danielle Mallory, an American activist, co-chair of the 2019 Women's March, gave a speech about the history of police brutality, exercised in the United States, against Afro-American people. This remembered and brave speech by Tamika went viral on social networks around the world. Her words touched me strongly, to the point that she inspired me to compose this song, totally instrumental, which I titled “Levantamiento”  (“Uprising”). She is referring to that social uprising that this unfortunate murder caused in the Afro-American people of the United States, demanding justice and an end to the brutality exercised by the police. I also dedicate this song to all the people of the world who have ever risen or continue to rise today; demanding no more violence, social equality, respect for human rights, freedom and peace. Finally, I clarify that this song is in no way intended to be a call for the “uprising” of oppressed peoples, but rather, it would be like a kind of film that tells a story based on real events, so that society as a whole become aware of that situation, reflect and activate so that it never happens again. Only now do I dare to publish it and share it with whoever wants to listen to it...

LEVANTAMIENTO (leer comentario descriptivo) - GUSTAVO CAMARGO

We are stronger than we thought...
On est plus fort qu'on ne le pense...

We're not new in town.
We have to take everything apart
Go back to the beginning 
We have to take everything apart
Take the time to see clearly 
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can cheat with us     
We're not new in town.

For the warrior’s rest
The shopkeeper’s smile
To seek equality, I choose to take an inventary
For our peace of mind
A whole sanitary cordon
To live lightly, I’m in, you know
The pretty advertisements
Sorry, it’s too expensive
After swallowing too much, we end up choking
The dresses and the fashion shows
Glass slippers
The beauty standards
well Packaged but vulgar
We have to take everything apart
Go back to the beginning 
We have to take everything apart
Take the time to see clearly 
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can keep talking
We're not new in town.
In the face of adversity
For the lonely hearts
A touch of humanity with a penchant for solidarity
In the face of mediocrity
To protect the earth
A burst of qualities with revolutionary accents
We have to take everything apart
Go back to the beginning 
We have to take everything apart
Take the time to see clearly 
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can bawl and yell
We're not new in town.
A slice of humble pie
And years of hardship
Work may be health, but let’s not push grandpa too hard
The body and the users
intermediate bodies
Sucked into the tunnel –vacuum -dust -dust

We have to take everything apart
Go back to the beginning 
We have to take everything apart
 Lay it all out on the ground 
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can speechify     
We're not new in town.
We have to take everything apart
Put everything right back
We have to take everything apart
Then sit down on the ground
We won’t turn a hair
We are rocks and stones
You can sweet talk with us
We're not new in town.

Livid

I can see the blue sea

I ride my bike through the sunny air
the wind blows through my hair
the city fades becomes a shade
time to get away on this day
I feel the sea made for me
yes, the sea made for me

I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?

The ocean shines so blue
a place for me to renew
I watch the tide, rays of sunlight
with the sea so near, free of fear
my thoughts drift away, 
more than words can say
a wonderful day

I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?

I ride back home through the fresh air
still smell the sea everywhere
then the city comes in sight
I will be home before night
still think the sea made for me
yes, the sea made for me

I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?

I can the the blue sea

Grief You Felt

There’s no shame,
& there’s no cure,
Oh, for the grief you felt.
The only way out is through.
You must feel the pain,
Oh, with the grief you felt.

I will help you.
I’m here for you.
I will go down,
Sit you through it.

The weight is heavy,
So let me carry it.
Very slowly, in the silence,
Don’t let it break you,
’Cause it gets lonely.
Let the light in.

The heart’s been broken,
I have been there, and you can do it too.
There’s no shame,
& there’s no cure,
Oh, for the grief you felt.
The only way out is inside your mind.
Oh, for the grief you felt.

(Violin)

Yeah, there’s no shame.
There’s no guilt
For the grief you’ve held on to.
It’s time to build again. Start anew!
Oh, with that grief you’ve felt,
You understand it,
’Cause you’ve been through it.
Your heart is open,
Wider & wider,
With more compassion,
& desire,
A bond that only sorrow forms.

Oh, with that grief you felt,
That grief you held on to.

We Was 1
