In Your Life

Black Hole In Space

Pop song that uses the same chord sequence as some of my favorites, like Silly Love Song, by Wings or Down in the Hall, by Four Seasons, or even the chorus of Kodachrome, by Paul Simon... Despite Everything, it's still my song.

Nacked Love

For this song I used a brief recording from 13 years ago, when I was trying to play the keyboard. I added the vocals and a fairly atmospheric guitar. In some way, it means a change of style compared to my previous songs. Of course, I'm still me, with my limitations.

My Darkest Hour

A song pop, medium time, little rocker, a bit ironic

Romeo in me

A kind of dramatic song with the aim of being catchy.

Not Enough In Love

Another pop song based on "Stand by Me", self-pitying and catchy at times. It has no chorus and the title of the song comes in its "coda" or "reprise".

Did I

Another unpretentious pop song. I kind of like the chorus and the instrumental bridge. It should be shorter, but it came out that way, with an extra minute.

since she's gone

A very simple song played in a very simple way

I wonder and I reach there

Another simple song somewhere between pop and country. I wanted it to sound like something recorded in 1965, when I was two years old and was entranced by the music I heard on the radio, TV, or record player.

After all

I'm not sure if the song is good or not. I'm pretty sure that is a small song, a result of a little bit of inspiration. I saw myself in the obligation of do it. At least, don't takes us away too much time to listen it. It is like all those songs we don't really like as "You mother should know", from the Beatles (saving a great distance, os course)

Two Birds in a Cage

Another improvisation of another pop song, drawing on the inspiration of the moment and, as usual, without much to say, beyond. Being optimistic and purely by chance, there might be a moment of homage to Brian Wilson in the chorus.


Mercy

As the name suggests, One Hundred Songs is a celebration of my hundred songs on Soundcloud. Clearly, I don't get to think about it much. Let's just say it's been good. And it's allowed me to meet, albeit from a distance, many very interesting people. Greetings to everyone. For the first time, I incorporate something like a piano, among other nonsense.

Hundred songs

Another song, the fruit of a brief flash of inspiration. I've been inspired to explore a new sound. Otherwise, I can hardly expect anything new, because the author is the same annoying person as always. Hopefully, I trust someone will like it, despite everything. With persistence, it turns out to be catchy.

Just like you, just like me

Usually, my idea of a song is that it should be based on melody. Well, this time, instead, there's not much melody here and a bit more rhythm than usual. I don't know... I hope you like it. And if not, I'll probably feel completely misunderstood.

Mr. Misunderstood

A poetic impression about human relationships. An excuse to write a sad and beautiful song (or at least try to).

I, me, you, we

Another song of mine, basically pop, arrived out of nowhere, just two chords that take on a life of their own and end up becoming a pretty catchy song. I explore the possibilities of my small keyboard, considering I don't know how to play it. The lyrics talk about a very recurrent and seemingly complex theme, but in practice very simple to deal with: Life, that thing about which you can say anything.

Life is just a memory

We all love the A-list singles, but... I, at least, also like the songs that fill the album. This one may be one of them, but I made it with a lot of love. And I even dared to sing a little differently, finding a voice I didn't know I had, for the second voice.

Why should I hold this with me

I'll cut through the nonsense and offer a 3-minute song, canonical pop, based on an ancient formula from the birth of the genre. I'm deluding myself that it's in the vein of, say, Nick Lowe. I hope so.

In the Subway, you, in the Highway, I

Another song that, oh, what a novelty! is about me talking about myself. A bit solipsistic, I admit. In any case, the melody, deeply rooted in the canons of the oldest pop, is catchy and quite enjoyable, if you listen to it indulgently.

More or less

This time I got a little carried away. I hope you like it. I don't know exactly where I was going, but somehow I got there.

You've never danced

Thanks to David, the friend responsible for Hand on the Rock, I realized that the possibilities for making songs are as many as one's interests. Believe it or not, I wasn't aware of that. At least, I didn't see myself capable of doing it. Effortlessly, which is how I like to do everything, this song came to me, and here it is. I hope you like it. In this case, it's Spanish actor José Bódalo, a true legend of the theater, film, and television world. Little known internationally, he was, however, a true giant in his profession. He died in 1985.

J.B., the best thing on T.V.

I don't intend to preach to anyone. I don't usually talk about anything specific in my songs, but for once, and thanks to the positive influence of Carl, the creator of The Beautiful Dark, in this song I express an idea, a concrete feeling beyond my usual soliloquies or the usual non-committal pop lyrics. I am committed to peace. Greetings to everyone.
Lyrics:
I can't choose between the victims
wich ones deserve respect and wich ones deserve spit on their graves
I can't choose between the victims
wich ones deserve respect and wich ones deserve spit on their graves
Haters are murderers.
murderers are on both sides of every conflict
evil reaches haters hearts
and makes them its instrument
and manages to spread everywhere
i can't choose between the victims
they are everywhere and they are all innocent.
i can't choose between the victims
they are everywhere and they are all innocent
I can't hate
I really don't know how to do it
i can't hate
I really don't know how to hate
but if i knew, i would hate the murderers, i would hate the violence and terrorism. 
i would hate to hate.
I can't choose between the victims
they are poor and rich, men and women too
i can't choose between the victims
they are young and old, and they all are getting cold
i can't choose between the victims
they come in every skin color there is, even white
no religion are save from hate
christian people die for their religion
no religion are save from hate
christian people die for their religion
in the world
I can't choose between the victims
wich ones deserves respect and wich ones deserve spit on their graves
I feel sorry for the victims who fell in gaza and for those who fell in yemen, in syria and sudan an in israel and ukraine and in new york city and madrid and in orem, utah
i know that your heart is noble and that it bleeds with the pain of the victims. don't choose, please don't choose
i can't choose between the victims
i can't choose between the victims
i can't choose between the victims

I can't choose between the victims

A song that blends styles and themes. Perhaps it will somehow get you somewhere.

Please, undertaker

A pop song that reflects a little on this and that. Catchy and at the same time, with a purpose. Musically, I've really let myself go, again.

In my world

Here's another song about everything and nothing. Musically, I'm still a bit quiet... I hope you find the right moment to listen to it... It's not exactly high-energy, I admit.

Searching for some light divine

A song that could be considered an ode to the simple brutality of man, so simple, so tender at the same time. That model we find in monsters like King Kong, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, or Frankenstein's monster. Ferocious monsters with tender hearts. It's simple. The song. And man is dying out.

Bad Girl

An insignificant song that aims only to illustrate something anecdotal. It doesn't elevate anything it says to any particular level. It barely corresponds to a mood, that of an arrogant, slightly ironic, nostalgic, and bitterly tender loser.

Don't let her drink any more wine

I don't know what the rush was to make this song. Especially considering it's just another one of those songs that sound like Sweet Home, Alabama... Anyway, I recorded it and here it is. I hope someone likes it, or at least that it doesn't offend anyone.

long, long, long is the way

Okay, here I go again. So, what's all this about? If I think about it carefully, it's nothing more than making songs. Simple pop songs. Catchy, simple pop songs. Simple, catchy pop songs to sing along to. A bit like the sixties, a bit before psychedelia. Like late 1965. And, well... that's it, if that's what you think.

why don't use merry christmas

I was born in 1963. I write songs since 1980, always as amateur. I just can't help It.
