Chasing Silence

Jericho

Shiver

I’ll start stitching those seams 
just under my skin 
so sure they’ll break away again  I’d lean way out over if this rail will hold
And rise up right into the cold 
Are you out there? 
Bones exposed? 
Upside the mountain. 
Your eyes are closed. 
 Are you diving off the side? 
To test you courage. 
To keep in stride? 
With those birds up high. 

And will you be my Ironwood Tree?
 I hear the sirens out loud 
there’s a fire in your soul 
You could burn us down or light up the way 

With love your heart it might sway 
But never go still 
like the leaves falling from the tree on the hill 
You feel the pressure subside in the blink of an eye 
You can see the world open up and give in  It all calls for a toast off the shores of a coast 
Where the rhythm of the waves keeps you alive 

And will you be my Ironwood Tree?

Ironwood Tree

This is my version of Oscar winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla's theme to the film the Motorcycle Diaries. It is called "De Ushuaia a la Quiaca." I have always loved this melody..It is absolutely magical..I am playing it on an Andean Charango. In the original version Gustavo plays it on a Ronroco which is a larger version of the Andean charango. I have arranged and added strings so it is much in the style of a Hollywood movie making it very different to the original.
