En la otra orilla

En la orilla del dolor
sólo tienen frustración
y el anhelo de un mundo mejor.

En la orilla del placer
todo es poco hasta ser
el más fuerte y el que tenga el poder.

Estribillo

Desde la orilla se ve el fulgor
de la riqueza aupada en neón
que nutre la fe y la ilusión.
Todos se echan a la mar
porque piensan que tendrán
por fin un lugar para soñar.

----------------------

No se entiende que huir
del infierno es seguir
el instinto de sobrevivir.

Estribillo

Y se tienen que aguantar
si los quieren explotar
los mismos que los quieren echar.

On the other shore

On the shore of pain
they only have frustration
and the longing for a better world.

On the shore of pleasure
everything is too little until you are
the strongest and the one who has the power.

Chorus

From the shore you can see the glow
of wealth boosted in neon
that nourishes faith and illusion.
Everyone sets out to sea
because they think they will
finally have a place to dream.

----------------------

It is not understood that fleeing
from hell is following
the instinct to survive.

Chorus

And they have to put up with
if they want to exploit them
the same people who want to throw them out.

En La Otra Orilla

"Tea with Debussy & Pärt in Casablanca" is a musical dream that bloomed during my vacation in Havana, Cuba. Inspired by classical masterpieces from Arvo Pärt and Claude Debussy, I envisioned an imaginary encounter with these esteemed composers in Casablanca, over Moroccan tea.

This piece is not an imitation of their styles but rather a heartfelt conversation between us. It embodies the essence of typical conversations in Morocco, where we all speak at the same time, meandering from topic to topic, and experiencing numerous changes of atmospheres, tempi, textures, and fragments of thematic material.

It begins with minimalist touches, a nod to Pärt's recent works, where the piano introduces serene arpeggios, intertwining with heartfelt viola melodies. As we delve into our tea time, I incorporate some of Debussy's harmonic vocabulary. 

Throughout our harmonious dialogue, the piece mirrors the dynamic nature of conversations in Morocco. We experience moments of collective excitement, where the music swells with vibrant textures and lively tempi, as if everyone is speaking at once. Themes and motifs emerge and intertwine, mirroring the meandering nature of our discussion as we navigate from one topic to another.

As our musical journey unfolds, our collaboration celebrates cultural fusion, weaving together Pärt, Debussy, and my artistic zest. Each voice contributes to the narrative, inviting moments of wonder and contemplation through our shared inspirations.

Lyrics:
Walkin’ through the shadowy forest,       
Didn’t know which way I should go,
Somethin’ caught my eye that was givin’ off a golden glow.
It was a shiny little guy in the flowers,
His thoughts were gettin’ into my head,
I wondered what he could know, and this is what he said:

Well I know it’s ‘bout helpin’ each other,
And I know it’s ‘bout sendin’ up a prayer,
And I know it’s ‘bout feelin’ the peace that waits inside you there.
Well I know it’s ‘bout followin’ your heartbeat, 
To help you do everything you’re meant to do,
And I know it’s ‘bout findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.
Ooooh ooh ooh…ah.

Well I couldn’t really see what he looked like, 
But a song was all inside my mind,
And everything that I could feel told me he was kind.
It was clear that he was hopin’ to help me,
Find my way out of the shadowy place,
By filling me up with his wisdom and a whisper of grace.

He sang I know it’s ‘bout helpin’ each other
And I know it’s ‘bout sendin’ up a prayer
And I know it’s ‘bout feelin’ the peace that waits inside you there.
Well I know it’s ‘bout reachin’ for your helpers,
Who will guide you to the things you’re meant to do,
And it’s all about findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.

Something changed inside of me then,
A music of the soul until the very end.

I sing: I know it’s ‘bout helpin’ each other
And I know it’s ‘bout sendin’ up a prayer
And I know it’s ‘bout feelin’ the peace that waits inside you there.
Well I know it’s ‘bout reachin’ for your helpers,
Who will guide you to the things you’re meant to do,
And I know it’s ‘bout findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.
And I know it’s ‘bout findin’ the love that’s waitin’ everywhere.

Well I Know

Written about my favourite area to visit.

Lyrics:
Blue-green infinity, the holy trinity: water, shoreline and sky
Poseidon slumbering, fear not encumbering, water, shoreline and sky
There was enlightenment and pure proportion, 
Channeled through the golden mean.
The perfect pieces of the past lie broken,
Waiting in a timeless dream. Aegean aquamarine.

It doesn’t matter if the world is stalling 
It doesn’t matter if it’s all appalling 
It doesn’t matter if the sky is falling
When the aquamarine is calling.
 
Invasion history, asleep in mystery, hidden in the evening calm,
The water covering, no tale discovering, hidden in the evening calm.
The sun retreating from its aerial throne, lifting off its golden crown,
Apollo, Helios and Phoebus descend, easing their chariot down,
Into the aquamarine.  Instrum.

Blue-green infinity, the holy trinity: water, shoreline and sky
Poseidon slumbering, fear not encumbering, water, shoreline and sky
Aegean aquamarine.

It doesn’t matter if the world is stalling 
It doesn’t matter if it’s all appalling 
It doesn’t matter if the sky is falling
When the aquamarine is calling.    Instrum.

Aquamarine

Esta canción es un saltamontes 
 al vacío de relax y calma 
ambientado en un cielo azul  y consciencias tranquilas..

Not even sure where this came from.  I ran across a bass and drum part I don't even remember making (happens a lot).  I filled in leads and atmosphere, then experimented with the backing synth at the middle/end that came about from a new plugin I got on Black Friday (Teletone Audio's Ondine).

They Were Right

"Starlight Scavengers" is a powerful rock anthem that blends classic rock sensibilities with modern production values. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like Fleetwood Mac and The Rolling Stones, this track weaves a haunting tale of love and resilience in a broken world. Rich vocal harmonies, soaring guitar solos, and a driving rhythm section pay homage to the golden age of rock while carving out a unique sonic identity.

The track builds from atmospheric verses through emotionally charged pre-choruses to an explosive chorus, supported by layers of electric and acoustic guitars, thunderous drums, and melodic keyboard textures. The addition of trumpet adds an unexpected dimension to the arrangement, while the Dolby Atmos (available on Apple Music ) mix creates an immersive sonic landscape that enhances the post-apocalyptic narrative.

For fans of: Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Florence + The Machine, and anyone who appreciates storytelling through music that combines raw emotion with polished production.

LYRICS:
Under skies of ash and ember, where stars struggle to shine
We roam the broken landscape, your hand held tight in mine
Scavenging for moments, in a world turned upside down
Finding beauty in the wreckage, of this ghost-riddled town

We're collectors of lost dreams, archaeologists of hope
In this wasteland of tomorrow, we've learned to cope

Starlight scavengers, in a world gone dark
Piecing together a future, from the past's broken parts
With every step we take, through this ruined paradise
We're building our own constellation, our love will suffice

In the shadow of fallen towers, where ambition once held sway
We craft our own utopia, at the end of each day
From shards of shattered windows, we build a kaleidoscope
Transforming our reflection, into a prism of hope

We're alchemists of sorrow, turning pain to gold
In the crucible of our hearts, a new world to mold

And when the night seems endless, and the path ahead unclear
I'll navigate by the light in your eyes, and the warmth of you near
For in this desolate beauty, where old rules no longer apply
We've found a truth eternal, a love that will never die

So let us keep on searching, for fragments of the light
In each shard of broken dreams, our love burns ever bright
For though the world lies shattered, our spirits remain whole
Two starlight scavengers, on an endless patrol

Starlight scavengers, in a world gone dark
Piecing together a future, from the past's broken parts
With every step we take, through this ruined paradise
We're building our own constellation, our love will suffice


In the twilight of humanity, where chaos reigns supreme
We've found our own galaxy, in this post-apocalyptic dream
Starlight scavengers, forever you and I
Crafting hope from stardust, beneath this ashen sky

Starlight Scavengers

The Dickhead Song 

This fucking dickhead beats the shit out of you,
because you’re black, or a sissy, helpless or a jew.
And this bloody dickhead hates everything, he doesn’t 
understand and that is everything my friend.
We don’t want them fucking dickheads around, no, no and no.

This fucking dickhead wears a suit and a tie,
just so fucking greedy for the big slice of the pie.
And this fucking dickhead is a Babbit, well all right,
he fears that they will come to shit into his yard at night.
We don’t want them fucking assholes around, no, no, no, no.

We don’t want you, we don’t need you
We don’t want you, we don’t need you
We don’t want you, we don’t need you
We don’t want you, we don’t need you
We don't want you fucking dickheads around.

Now, this fucking dickhead fears everything,
that is other, that is different, that is not exactly him.
And as the whole world is different, I know you know my friend,
he needs to build a fence around himself for self defense.
Great idea, I’d say, now put it into practice right away.

Just call and gather all them dickheads around,
and then you all start drilling holes into the ground.
Drive in steel, pour in concrete, build it solid, make it tall.
It has to get one giant dickhead zoo after all.
Without no window and no door, 
you just stay in and don’t get out again no more.

Well I Know
