Name: We’re Looking for a Place by The Pete Cooper Band
Duration: 3 min 42 s
Description: Another song about the state of this sad world.

Another great one. Neil would be proud, again. The band also does amazing work here. Love, Hannah x

It sorta gives me a 50’s sock hop slow dance vibe.

Truly fabulous guys , it's raining here , so it certainly will be in Manchester !

I really like what the song says. The guitars sound great. And the voice is great. Keep it up.

Nice message to this track, Pete. Keep expressing your heart.

Dope track. The music goes lovely along the guitar plucks

A song I recorded back in late 2018/early 2019. Deleted for whatever reason. The section of intense vocals toward the end of this song I've used in another song called "Losing It" which I may re-record in the future. So be on the lookout for that familiar ending. Enjoy.

Amsterdam – Studio Session
Sophie’s voice carries the weight of this song in a raw and intimate studio performance.
This take captures a darker, more layered side of Amsterdam, while the Unplugged Session let her vocals stand fragile and exposed.

Two faces of the same song, Sophie’s voice at its most vulnerable, and at its most intense.

[Verse]
I board the night with a heavy stare
A one-way ticket to the misty air
The city's calling
Its whispers low
Through shadowed alleys
Where secrets grow

[Chorus]
Amsterdam
Your ghosts ignite
Beneath the bridges
A velvet night
The canals shimmer
A haunting tune
Under the watch of a blood-red moon

[Verse 2]
Cobblestones echo with tales untold
A foggy shroud
A story bold
Lanterns flicker
The past alive
In this dark dance
Shadows thrive

[Bridge]
The wind it howls
It sings my name
A foreign rhythm
A wicked game
I lose myself in your ancient haze
Through endless nights
Through twisted maze

[Chorus]
Amsterdam
Your ghosts ignite
Beneath the bridges
A velvet night
The canals shimmer
A haunting tune
Under the watch of a blood-red moon

[Verse 3]
I feel the pulse of your hidden core
A labyrinth heart I can't ignore
Through every turn
Your spirit feeds
On the dreams of those it needs

Amsterdam (Studio session Sophie vocals)

I was experimenting with how to create interesting and unique sounds and tones on a synthesizer, and then suddenly this melody and sound came together, which I complemented with traditional instruments. Listen to how it turned out!

The Wind Shouts At Me

The wind shouts at me

Carried Away

Another song about the state of this sad world.

We’re Looking for a Place

Para escuchar la versión original  https://soundcloud.com/juan-fco-bueno/mi-pequena-maria-version-original-ver-texto

Mi pequeña María

Al llegar el día
yo no me iría
pero tengo que marchar;
el verano ya pasó
el descanso terminó
y es hora de regresar.

No te pongas triste
que razón no existe
no tienes por qué llorar;
nuestro idilio sigue intacto
seguiremos en contacto
mantendremos nuestra amistad.

Estribillo

Oh, mi pequeña María,
faro que nunca se irá,
oh, mi pequeña María,
mi norte, mi eternidad.
No cierres nunca tus alas,
y vuela en libertad,
no cierres nunca tus alas,
y siempre me encontrarás.
-------------------
Sé que la distancia
pide confianza
y amar sin vacilar
pues las dudas suelen ser
arañazos que se ven
si la fe se empieza a quebrar.

Aunque pasa el tiempo
noto lo que siento
no tengo por qué dudar
que venciendo nuestros miedos
compartiendo nuestros sueños
lograremos la estabilidad.

Estribillo

My little Maria

When the day comes,
I wouldn't leave,
but I have to go;
summer is over,
break is over,
and it's time to return.

Don't be sad,
because there's no reason,
you have no reason to cry;
our love affair remains intact,
we'll stay in touch,
we'll maintain our friendship.

Chorus

Oh, my little Maria,
beacon that will never leave,
oh, my little Maria,
my north, my eternity.
Never close your wings,
and fly free,
never close your wings,
and you'll always find me.
-------------------
I know that distance
requires trust
and to love without hesitation,
because doubts are usually
scratches that can be seen
if faith begins to break.

Although time passes,
I notice what I feel,
I have no reason to doubt,
that by overcoming our fears,
sharing our dreams,
we will achieve stability.

Chorus

Mi pequeña María

Manifest '84

"Love Left Behind" is a raw, unflinching look at the moment of absolute finality. It's a dark toast to everything that was and everything that will never be again. This track dives into the crushing weight of a love lost, the helplessness in watching a downfall, and the desperate, self-destructive desire to drink the painful memories dry. It's a final, shared glass of wine with a ghost.

Love Left Behind

NOTICE:

I do not pay for self promotion ever. 

That’s Pete and Pete, the original members, augmented with Spud, Pecos,  Snooks and Smooch. Pete and Pete were formally founder members of The Petes. The band like to explore a range of musical styles. They started out with folk, rock and blues but they have also been exploring a vocal style of lizard-lounge type jazz too - smoky and melodic. You’ll find love songs, both exuberant and elegiac, along with songs of loss, as well as songs lamenting the state of our world and our society.

Also The Pete Cooper Band’s first  album, ‘Let’s Make Love’ can be found on Spotify and YouTube.
