©2021 Valeria Stewart & Kevin Dudley. The Darkest Day began as a chord progression that Kevin created, and he later asked me to write lyrics for in Spanish, with the refrain featuring 'The Darkest Day' ('El Día Más Oscuro'). Waking up to your loved one’s absence is the darkest day imaginable. It tells the story of someone being abandoned by their love, yet it leaves open the possibility that the separation might not be permanent.

El Día Más Oscuro

Sad but beautifully haunting Argentine zamba written by Ariel Ramírez (music) and Félix Luna (lyrics), in tribute to poet Alfonsina Storni and her final walk into the sea #sadpoetry #alfonsinastorni

Reveries, daydreams: I had written something in my notes that went like this, and months later put together some music and rewrote it in Spanish, with the added ending – the fantasy is over, yet every now and then, you’re in my dreams again. It’s the feeling of being haunted by someone.

The ending of a relationship can sometimes be a mystery and we are left with Why? This is about a relationship out of sync, a goodbye. I don’t know how to tell you, I’m no longer here. You dig into your past, then merge with the stories you’ve heard. First the chords came, the groove, then the two words “Por Que?”.

Por Qué

A Bolero written by María Teresa Vera, released in 1935 and performed by Omara Portuondo on the 
1997 Buena Vista Social Club album produced with Roy Cooder. It is a Cuban trova style song
performed with guitar (and usually, clavé) and one or two vocalists.

Veinte Años

English version “It Isn’t You” by Kathleen Huber, Spanish lyrics by Valeria Stewart and Graciela 
Valdez. In 2019 My mother & I interpreted it in Spanish, and it was recorded and published for the Luna EP in its bilingual arrangement. Kevin Dudley created the newer jazz chord arrangement, and we now perform it entirely in Spanish. It is an expression of angst over a betrayal.

No Eres Tú

©2019 Valeria Stewart & Graciela Valdez. You Are My Love: a song I wrote about Steve. 
So many years have gone by
in which the waves break,
and in their noise give us 
sorrows and joys 
that reflect the opening sun 
Accompany me always, you are my love

Eres Mi Amor

1964 by Argentine writers Ariel Ramírez / Félix Luna. Félix Luna met Felisa de la Fuente, a woman from a town called Aimogasta, in the province of La Rioja. He was young when he had met this teenager in the house of some relatives, and such was his attraction, that years later he set out to find her again, by writing the poetry of one of the most beautiful zambas of Argentine folklore: “Zamba de usted”. He asked for her hand, with the lyrics of the song as a gift. They got married and lived together until death did them part.
