Excellent work! Great voice and harmonies.... Thanks for sharing

Great song Michael! And tremendous vocals, really smooth!👍

the hallelujah part & arrangement at 1:30 is tremendous!!  to my ears there's a family resemblance to Morrissey in your vocals in all your tunes

You Can be Proud of this Song, BRAVO 😊

Leafcutter ants, endlessly working, carrying the leaves to their nest, building, cleaning, growing their food and nursing their children. Always busy. A different species, yet so similar.

Ameisenstraße (Ant Trail)

On May 13, 2015, my brother-in-law Eduardo Fortuny Loret de Mola was killed in a road accident, to the great sorrow of all who knew and loved him, in particular his widow and two sons. I wrote this song in the aftemath of his all too soon passing away, but the time never seemed right to try and record it ... until now, when Enna, his wife, read the lyrics and expressed her wish to hear a recorded version. It would also have been his 60th birthday this year. I took both as a sign that it was time, and thanks to the monumental musical and production abilities of Sergio Aguilar, not to mention the wonderful backing vocals of Beto Quintero, here it is.

The song, needless to say, but I will say it, is dedicated to Eduardo, and all who loved him.

Hallelujah is a transliteration of Hebrew: הַלְלוּ (hallū yāh), which means "praise ye Jah!" (from הַלְלוּ‎, "praise ye!" [8] and יָהּ‎, "Jah".)[9][10][11] The word hallēl in Hebrew means a joyous praise in song. The second part, Yah, is a shortened form of YHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah in modern English).
~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah

“In traditional Christian thought, the final transition from life on earth to life in heaven is symbolized by crossing the Jordan River."

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.”
― Kahlil Gibran, artist and poet.

"The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on."
~ Irving Berlin, songwriter.

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
~ Terry Pratchett, English author.

Lyrics
Last night I dreamed my brother strode with Jesus by his side
With heavenly strength to move them on, they walked the ocean tide
I cried, “Dear brother, hold your haste, we all must journey home.”
“Jordan calls me,” was all he said, I knew myself alone
I knew myself alone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Last night I dreamed my brother rode in tandem with James Dean
Along the streets and the highways that to this world are unseen
I cried, “Dear brother, promise me, you’ll meet me when I come.”
He smiled his smile, and raised his hand, I felt my world undone
I felt my world undone

Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu …. Hal-le-lu

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Now I’m awakened, oh, let me dream that dream once more
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

And take me over Jordan, see my brother walk upon its shore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

Yeah, take me over Jordan, for I am tired and so heartsore
Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu, Hal-le-lu … yah

This song is a little thank you to the MRI technician, who was not happy with me, she wanted me to keep still but the electronic sounds were so fabulous and I found it very difficult not to move.

Resonance is majestic
It sure knows how to thrill
Moombahton, juke n'breakbeat
Occasionally deep chill
Girl behind the console
Said I must act more responsible
I need you to keep still

Lay still upon that flatbed
Diagnostics take their time
The protons in the molecules
Need time to realign
The protons in the molecules
They follow scientific rules
Every single time

Moombahton, juke n'breakbeat
A little bit of house
Shot from the anaesthetist
The lights, they just went out
Shot from the anaesthetist
To help with the analysis
Of the Administer of Grime

Lay still upon that flatbed
That is what she said
Lay still upon that flatbed
When I moved, well she saw red
Lay still upon that flatbed
She said that every time
The Administer of Grime

The Administer Of Grime

C'EST LA NUIT

C'est la nuit
Sait-on où l'on vit
Ce monde qu'on détruit
Par la mort sur la vie
Sans vouloir y penser
Ne faisant qu'oublier
Ce qu'on nous a donné
Et se disant en nous
Ira t-il juste qu'au bout
Cet homme est un fou
Que sera notre terre
En vivant cette misère
Les horreurs de la guerre
Une méchante maladie
Cet homme est ainsi.

C'est la nuit
La tristesse aussi
De celle qu'on maudit
Pour ces morts d'aujourd'hui
Que l'on va regretter
Restant dans nos pensées
Dans nos cœurs si marqués
Sentiments de dégoûts
N'en voyant pas le bout
En nous détruisant tout
Parlant de nucléaire
Promettant le calvaire
Allons nous le laisser faire
L'écrasant dans l'oubli
Si même je me dis.

C'est la nuit 
Trop noire c'est ainsi
Marquée de tragédie
Emprise de tyrannie
Avec un homme damner
Qui ne veut justifier
 Sa non fraternité
Ne laissons pas surtout
Ce débile de Moscou
En le battant d'un coup
Retrouvant la lumière
En sortant de l'enfer
Essuyant nos paupières
Des pleurs de cette folie
J'ai toujours dans l'esprit.

C'est la nuit
Sera t'elle finie
C'est la nuit, c'est la nuit
Nous faisant du soucis
Espérant en rêver
Dans nos cœurs de pensées
Se sentant fatigué
Restons bien debout
 Le mettant à genoux
Souhaitant qu'il échoue
Qu'l'espérance nous libère
D'ce débile incendiaire
Saurons nous bien le faire
Le détruisant aussi
Qu'enfin on revit.

C'est la nuit
Elle n'est pas finie
Notre peur aussi
Par un sale abruti
C'est la nuit
C'est la nuit

IT'S NIGHT

It's night
Do we know where we live
This world that we are destroying
By death over life
Without wanting to think about it
Just forgetting
What we were given
And saying within us
Will he only go to the end?
This man is crazy
What will our land be?
Living this misery
The horrors of war
A nasty disease
This man is like that.

It's night
Sadness too
Of the one we curse
For these dead today
That we will regret
Staying in our thoughts
In our hearts so marked
Feelings of disgust
Not seeing the end
By destroying everything
Speaking of nuclear
Promising calvary
Are we going to let it happen?
Crushing him into oblivion
If I even tell myself.

It's night
Too black that's how it is
Marked with tragedy
Grip of tyranny
With a damned man
Who doesn't want to justify
 His non-fraternity
Above all, let us not let
This moron from Moscow
By beating him with one blow
Finding the light
Coming out of hell
Wiping our eyelids
Cries of this madness
I always have it on my mind.

It's night
Will it be finished?
It's night, it's night
Making us worry
Hoping to dream of it
In our hearts of thoughts
Feeling tired
Let's stay upright
 Bringing him to his knees
Wishing it would fail
May hope free us
Of this incendiary moron
Will we be able to do it well?
Destroying him too
That we finally live again.

It's night
It's not finished
Our fear too
By a dirty idiot
It's night
It's night
