A new surf blues rock track I wrote, a cover of one of my guitar recordings, performed by my Suno AI surf rock persona. 

I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

The words I saved never made it through  
Every moment I lost, I lost with you  
I reach out for you, but you were gone 
Whatever I held was already wrong  

Like broken glass in my hands  
It didn’t work out like I planned  
Broken glass in my hands  
I can’t undo where I stand  

The silence grows when the room is bare  
I turn my head, but you’re not there  
I counted the cost, it was more than I knew  
Every step I take only leads back to you  

An empty chair where you should be  
That’s the only truth I see  
An empty chair, it doesn’t change  
Everything’s gone, it stays the same  

I dig through the dark, nothing to find  
Every word I lost still claws at my mind  
I call to the night, but it answers in pain  
With a silence that puts me to shame

Broken glass! Broken glass!  
Cut too deep, cut too fast!  
Broken glass! Broken glass!  
In my hands, in my hands!  
Empty chair! Empty chair!  
You’re not there, you’re not there! 

Broken glass…Broken glass…
Broken glass… empty chair…  
Nothing left but the weight we share ...

Broken Glass

If Death came to visit me today, or even tomorrow,
do not dim yourself in sorrow, nor close your windows.
I have left crumbs of light in the mornings,
on the stones I stepped upon,
and in the beautiful things I beheld,
in the flowers I caressed with my eyes;
there, without searching for me, you will find me, like a lotus bloom.

I will spill into every drop of rain,
into the blackbird’s first song,
into the white foam that kisses the cliffs.
You will find me in the trembling of the leaves,
in the caress of a wind you do not know,
in a smile whose owner you cannot name.

Sing, brother, sing;
dance, sister, dance,
for my soul does not say farewell,
it only changes its path.
Seek me in the music of the world,
and you will find me whole.

I will be like the Little Prince from distant stars,
who departed without sorrow, who let himself fall
and crossed the horizon like a flaming arrow
to his true home.
And in the night I will be your star:
when you lift your gaze,
I will laugh, blushing, twinkling like the constellations.

When I leave this earth,
do not shroud yourself in mourning.
Turn the day into a feast,
dress in finery and let love shine
with the vibrant colors of joy.
Dance to the rhythm of my music and the tides,
and there, in love,
we will meet again.

Sing, brother, sing;
dance, sister, dance,
for my soul does not say farewell,
it only changes its path.
Seek me in the music of the world,
and you will find me whole.

Take It Out on Me
