The song "Losing You" move from the initial shock and pain of loss to acceptance and determination to carry on the loved one's memory, reflecting the complex and non-linear nature of the grieving process.

Losing You

"A Page to Forget" is my debut song, a piece in which I poured all my heart and soul. Sung in three languages – Spanish, English, and French – this song reflects the pain, regret, and desire to forget a love that consumed me. I wrote this piece in my most vulnerable moments when I felt the weight of the past pressing on my soul, and the silent war within me needed to be expressed.

Through deeply emotional lyrics, I tell a story of betrayal, loneliness, and the struggle to move forward, even when your heart tells you it wants to go back. "A Page to Forget" is about those dark nights when you wrestle with thoughts and memories you wish you could erase, but which remain deeply rooted.

The fact that I combined lyrics in Spanish, English, and French is a tribute to how love transcends any border and language. I wanted every listener to find a part of my story to relate to, regardless of the language. Through this song, I tried to convey the intensity of the emotions I felt and create an atmosphere that makes you live each word and note.

I hope "A Page to Forget" touches the hearts of those who listen to it, just as it touched mine when I wrote it. This is the beginning of a musical journey for me, and I am eager to share more of my stories.

A Page To Forget

"The Art of Starting Over" - A folk journey through life's unexpected turns. When corporate dreams crumble, sometimes we find our truest selves in the scattered pieces. This song traces the path from cardboard boxes and fluorescent lights to the gentle whisper of guitar strings and the healing strokes of a paintbrush.

Written in the quiet hours between job applications and self-discovery, this piece explores how losing what we thought we needed might lead us to what our soul always wanted. For anyone who's ever had to start again, find their voice, or turn their pain into art.

From corporate corridors to canvas dreams. And yes, 'cow-worker' is intentional - a nod to breaking free from the herd to find your own path. 🎸🎨✨

Lyrics:

Cardboard box of memories left in the hall
Stacks of papers and pictures
A life once tall
Faces and places
Now shadows on the wall
Gatherin' dust
Just waitin' for a call

Under the neon hum
Dreams felt far
Chasin' numbers and hours
Lost who we are
Blazin' through deadlines
Midnight’s last star
Empty hearted wanderers
Wonderin' where we are

Paintbrush strokes on canvas mendin' the soul
Guitar strings whisperin’
Tryin' to make whole
Brush away the sorrow
Let the colors unfold
Melodies and hues
Stories yet untold

Somethin' 'bout the rhythm of gentle strings
A tune to the past
What the future brings
Echoes of laughter
Of simpler things
Nature's own chorus
How the heart sings

Coworker farewells
Bittersweet claims
Chasin' down dreams
Never turning out same
Left with a title
Forgotten their names
Soul-searchin’ battles in corporate games

Paintbrush strokes on canvas mendin' the soul
Guitar strings whisperin’
Tryin' to make whole
Brush away the sorrow
Let the colors unfold
Melodies and hues
Stories yet untold

The Art of Starting Over

"Eternal Starlight" is a tribute to a beloved friend whose creative spirit burned bright through both shadow and light. Written in conversation with his own song "Shadows & Light," this piece celebrates the life of an artist, musician, and writer who touched countless lives with his gentle heart and boundless imagination.

Like the cosmic dance of stars being born from celestial shadows, this song weaves together the duality of his journey - from his profound artistic gifts and compassionate soul to the weight he carried. Through abstract paintings, watercolor wildlife, and stories of distant worlds, he showed us how to find beauty in the spaces between light and dark.

Though he has moved beyond our reach, his light continues to shine through every life he touched, every creature he saved, and every canvas he filled with dreams. This song is dedicated to his memory and to all those who, like him, navigate the delicate balance between shadows and light.

Lyrics:

Your canvas held both shadow and light,
Gentle soul, creating through the night.
From fractured pieces, you made them whole,
Painting beauty from the depths of your soul.
You gave shelter to the lost and small,
While bearing burdens unseen by all.

Between the shadows and the light,
You showed us how to hold on tight.
Your spirit soared through darkest skies,
Leaving stardust where your art lies.
Though shadows claimed you in the end,
Your light still shines, my dearest friend.

Brother to the broken, friend so true,
You gave your heart, though it split in two.
With every brushstroke, every song,
You built a world where we belong.
In abstract dreams and watercolor skies,
You shared your truth through gentle eyes.

Between the shadows and the light,
You showed us how to hold on tight.
Your spirit soared through darkest skies,
Leaving stardust where your art lies.
Though shadows claimed you in the end,
Your light still shines, my dearest friend.

The stars you followed through the night
Now guide us, carrying your light.
In every sunrise, every song,
Your melody still lingers strong.

Though shadows took you far too soon,
Your light still warms this quiet room.
In every painting, every rhyme,
You live beyond the bounds of time.
And where the dark and daylight blend,
We hear your voice, our timeless friend.

"Between the shadows and the light,
The stars still lead us through the night.
Through every tear and every smile,
We walk this twilight mile by mile.
And when we meet on distant shore,
Your light will shine forevermore."

Eternal Starlight

"Utah Beginnings" - Track 1 from "Echoes of a Life"

A folk ballad that opens in the heart of Utah's Wasatch Mountains, where childhood innocence meets family complexity. Set in Payson against the backdrop of mining country, this song weaves together the story of an unexpected fifth son, hardworking parents, and the changing tides of family life. With gentle acoustic guitar, piano, and contemplative male vocals, the track captures seven years of early memories - from a doctor grandfather's delivery room to a mother's late-night waitressing shifts and a father's work in the mines.

This opening track sets the stage for a larger musical journey through time and place, blending personal history with the majestic landscape of Utah's mountain country. Influenced by the storytelling traditions of folk music, "Utah Beginnings" paints a portrait of both innocence and understanding, as seen through the eyes of both child and adult.

Echoes of a Life

Utah Beginnings

A poignant acoustic journey through time as a young boy speaks to his future self, asking life's biggest questions and receiving wisdom from across the years. Through gentle fingerpicking and raw, emotional male vocals, this song explores the universal human experience of growing up and facing life's complexities.

"How We'll Be" unfolds as an intimate dialogue between innocence and experience, hope and reality. A child wonders about wealth, success, love, and happiness, while his older self responds with hard-earned wisdom about life's unpredictable path.

This stripped-down acoustic arrangement intentionally keeps the focus on the emotional narrative, allowing the conversation between past and future to resonate with listeners who've walked their own winding roads through joy and heartbreak, wealth and struggle, dreams and their sometimes bittersweet fulfillment.

Written as a reminder that life rarely unfolds as we imagine in childhood, but carries beauty even in its imperfection.

Lyrics:

Little eyes full of wonder, looking ahead
Ten years old with a million questions in my head
Will I grow tall and strong? Will I find my way?
Hey future me, what can you say?

Will we be rich with treasures and gold?
Will we find success before we grow old?
Will we find someone to hold through the night?
Will we be happy? Will everything be alright?
Tell me, future me, what will our life be?

I see you there with your innocent heart
I wish I could shield you from where we'd start
Yes, we'll have money, then watch it all go
The richest moments? They won't come from what we own

We'll taste wealth and we'll know hungry days
We'll find success, but in unexpected ways
We'll find love – deep and true – but feel its sting
Happiness comes and goes on broken wings
Trust me, younger me, that's how our life will be

Will we have lots of friends to laugh with and play?
A faithful few who stay through the darkest days
Will we be all I dream we can be?
Not quite, but someone stronger than you'd believe

There'll be mistakes and failures, scars on our soul
Moments when pieces break, never again whole
But there's beauty in the breaking, in starting again
In finding your feet after the rain

We'll know wealth in the things money can't buy
We'll find triumph in simply choosing to try
We'll know love that's worth all of the pain
Happiness found in dancing through the rain
This is us, this is life, this is how we'll be

If I could tell you one thing to hold onto tight
It's that you're stronger than you know
And though the path isn't straight
The journey makes you whole
Little me, it's all going to be alright

How We'll Be

If You Leave, Take My Heart Too is one of the most emotional and vulnerable folk songs I’ve ever written. It tells the story of a man who has loved one woman his whole life — from the innocence of childhood friendship to marriage, raising a family, and dreaming of forever — only to face the heartbreak of her walking away.

This is not just the sound of love ending — it’s the sound of a man losing the one person who made him who he is. When he says, “This man is a man because I have had you,” you can feel his whole world collapsing. This isn’t a breakup song. It’s a cry from the soul of someone who still believes in what they built.

Every lyric is true to the feeling of being left with nothing but your love and your memories. If you’ve ever fought for someone who walked away, this one is for you.

🎧 Hear it now.
🌾 Share it if you’ve been there.
🔥 Play it loud if you’re still fighting for something that matters.

Lyrics
If You Leave, Take My Heart Too

All my life since we were kids, when we played together
You have been that someone so special
You have been my best friend who became my lover
I stood in front of you and asked “I stand in front of you, asking if you'll be my forever”
We walked the aisle and made it reality, promising there would be no other

20 years later my love for you has never changed
My love for you has kept on growing as each day passed
I cannot believe that you are going to leave, I do not understand (why is this so)
What I do know is that, If you leave, take my heart too

This man is a man because I have had you
If you walk away from this love I would not know what to do
I don’t know why this is happening when we had a love so true
All I know is if you leave, take my heart too (it is not worth anything without you)

This man is on his knees in front of you asking why
What did I do for you to decide to go
Have I been blind this is driving me out of my mind
But if you leave, take my heart too (I don’t need it without you)

This man is a man because I have had you
If you walk away from this love I would not know what to do
I don’t know why this is happening when we had a love so true
All I know is if you leave, take my heart too (it is not worth anything without you)

How do I explain to our children why this has happened
When I myself do not know, while I have this passion
My heart is no good to me anymore
So if you leave, take my heart too (I don’t need it without you)

This man is a man because I have had you
If you walk away from this love I would not know what to do
I don’t know why this is happening when we had a love so true
All I know is if you leave, take my heart too (it is not worth anything without you)

I am a man on my knees asking you not to leave
This man is in love with you, you have all my dreams (please do not leave)
