Empty hands 2013

I know better now but i'll still be the only one
to say these words out loud
cause my heart is ever young

We do this once again
we leave with empty hands

Tell me if you want this too
Cause I'm in love with you

It's getting cold in the street
so get as close as you can
your touch could kill
so do it to me baby
and when i shake in my sleep
I'd like to know that you can
open my eyes and
Do it to me baby

I know that you want this
I know that you need this
More than you believe in me

We do this once again
We leave with empty hands
Tell me if you want this too
Cause I'm in love with you

Sometimes it's hard to believe
and then it's harder to breathe
i wanna know if you could 
Do it to me baby
and i don't want you to leave
I've said some things I don't mean
Come over here and
Do it to me Baby

I know that you want this
I know that you need this
More than you believe in me

We do this once again
We leave with empty hands
I see it in your brown eyes
but i'm still alone at night

just do it again i've seen you do it all the time
and I don't mind
just say it again your words will keep me up at night
and I know why

I know better now
but I'll still be the only one
to say these words out loud
cause my heart is ever young

I used to wait up all night
for you to come and hold me tight
you say you'll never live without
but I know better now. 


I Know Better

We’re all sweaty from the night before,
passing out on the floor…but we’ll still take a little more.
Drunk texts; people meet up at the door so no one leaves with empty hands.

Grab it, grab it. hold it.
This is your night just own it, 
your beautiful and know it,
we won’t leave with empty hands.
Grab it, grab it. hold it.
This is your night just own it, 
your beautiful and know it,
drunk as fuck and we don’t care!

The speakers are knocking my cups off the top of them, dropping them.
I’m letting it slide cause she’s letting me slide my hand up, and i’ll just let this rock.
Exploring and more and we duck in a corridor, 
touring her body like i was a doctor, bitch, i aint a doctor, i’ll just let it rock.
it’s four in the morning, i’m not even sure if i’m on this planet, 
where the fuck is my jacket? don’t even know if i had, i’ll just let it rock.
she told me to whisper, in the beginning i listened,
but she started to scream and i thought,
well fuck it, i’ll just let it rock!

make sure you’re bleeding for a reason,
we’re all screaming for our freedoms
every cut releases a demon
cheers to this evening.


We’re all sweaty from the night before,
passing out on the floor…but we’ll still take a little more.
Drunk texts; people meet up at the door so no one leaves with empty hands.

"Extraña moneda" was born from that deeply human feeling of having something precious in your hands and losing it without fully understanding how. It’s an intimate and nostalgic song, where every word carries the weight of someone who once was a refuge and a treasure — and is now simply absence.

Musically, the emotional depth of the song comes through in the layered textures. The acoustic guitars draw the outline of the story — warm but slightly broken — while the electric guitars drift in subtly, almost like ghosts from the past, adding a melancholic hue to each verse. The handclaps, dry and minimal, set a heartbeat-like rhythm, echoing the lonely walk of someone searching for what’s already gone.

But what moves me most in this track are the harmonica solos. They’re not there to show off — they speak when the voice can’t. The harmonica weeps where the lyrics break down, accompanying each stanza like a sorrowful whisper.

"Extraña moneda" isn’t a song of blame. It’s a farewell, full of love — an attempt to give shape to emptiness. Because sometimes, what we lose still weighs on us... even when it’s no longer there.

Extraña moneda

a work in progress; need to nix some weak lines; did it a few takes - so need to redeliver the vox. Beat made in ACID.

NameDropping 2012

i do love his beat -  didn't use a drum loop; i made each hit with a drum pad - to hammer the boom bap aspect. simple piano and horn loops -  i took them from an Impulse records comp, clipped them and boom. i have been in sinus hell for 3 weeks - so i don't love the vox = but whatever. i want to move on

Like the woman who reached for Jesus' hem in faith for healing, we also must have empty hands to reach for and cling to Jesus.  So often, our hands are clinched around the lies of insecurity, the pain of unforgiveness and the need for control.  Jesus wants to set you free from the hurts of your past and the fear of what lies ahead.  This talk was given by Marsha at "The Table:  A Gathering for Women" at Houston's First Baptist Church.  This is a personal testimony of what God is doing in her life lately.
