Tired exhausted and beat, But nothing really matters anymore, Let’s talk about the trees and the flowers and the bees.. But no you’d never write a love song to the breeze (nooooo youuuuu’d neeevveeeeerrrr) Would you ever change your mind about anything you lost in time, Make no sense to make it all, Who cares if you fall you’ll be caught by the knees, But no you’d never write a love song to the breeze ( to theeee breeeeeezee) No you’d never write a love song to the breeze (bbbreeeeEZZEEEZZZ).

(sax bass solo) Barcelonian midnight the streets are still full of light, Better hold on to your things you better hold on tight, I appreciate your appreciation of the night, Chasing the sun, chasing the sun, chasing the sun goodnight , It’s a beautiful day barcelonian midnight, (barcelonian midnight) Ooh I wanna dance I wanna prance and dance and prance, To the beat of the night, I’d like today barcelonian midnight.

OAO 03:09
OOOH (saxophone) Borrow the shoes he said, And I said ok, And take these pair of eyes, You may see things the same way, People in the streets can you hear me stop the hurting start the healing, Everybody OAO here we go, Holler back if you feel me from your nation and location living in OAO, here we go, (lala lala lala lala) (guitar) I’m a creator, an innovator I am one with all of life, A co-creator with my creator, Traveling through all space and time, Creative rhythms in my mind, (I took his pair of shoes and I walked away And through his pair of eyes I could see a new day) People in homes listen to me on your radios and your TVs, Singing OAO let me know, People of the world can you hear me? Stop the hurting start the healing everybody OAO here we go, (We are creators and innovators we are ones with all of life We’re co-creators with our creators traveling through all space and time Creative rhythms in our miiiiinnnnndddd) Creative rhythms in my mind, creative rhythms in our minds, Creative rhythms in your miiiiind,

Birds are flying ‘round my head, Trying to get me out of bed, Walkin’ through the closing doors, Trying to get me to do more chores, I feel great I feel bright Gonna go to the garden where the melody’s right, (Saxophone solo) When nature comes a knocking upon my door.. no more, I mean what I don’t do to mean what I say but hhhheeeeyyy, Hey! I feel great I feel bright, Gonna go to the garden where the melody’s right, Stroke of genius in the middle of the night gotta get over the fright, But you know everything’s gonna be alright.. ‘cause today I feel great I feel bright, Gonna go to the garden where the melody’s right, I feel great I feel bright, Gonna go to the garden where the melody’s right.

Reason 02:00
(Wind in a box is a new creation)(will it save our nation?) (Guitar solo, bass) Looking searching for miles and miles, For something to eat, Gotta get this weight off of my feet, But NO! says the world and it keeps me walking on, (Guitar solo, piano, bass) Scenarios running through my mind, Yet they’ll never find, And I’m left every day to sing the tune, That you just can’t quite reason, Reason(reeeeaaaaaa) reason… (SSOOOONN).
6.
Rollin' 01:13
(Dudududududududu etc..) Rolling in the cold makes me soo old, When will I ever find you again, Oh but don’t move I’ll move, You stay while I stretch to far and, And I faaaalll awaay, (Rolling rolling rolling ) oohh (rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling roll).
7.
Zombie phone 00:40
(solo guitar) I’m becoming a zombie phone, No marco el ritmo que marcaba ayer, Zombie phone, Y ya los dedos me empiezan a arder, Zombie phone, Llevo todo el día pegado al celular, Y sé que esto no es sano (QUEEE MASSS DAAA) No me trae nada bueno pero que más da.

If you sit still enough the grass will grow, And you will know what I mean, The way I wanna walk the way I wanna talk, Makes me want to know, How does it help me grow? (ooooohhh knooooww) makes me want to know, (ooooohhhh) makes me want to know, Laughing playing using up my time, If it were wasted could it be a crime? Makes me want to know how does it help me grow, But then it gets down to business, time is well spent, Inspiration takes you over sucks you in lets you go and then you’ll know, (Then you’ll know) how it helps you groooow(the you’ll know) How it helps you grooow ( then you’ll know) How it helps you grooow ( then you’ll know) How it helps you grooow ( then you’ll know) How it helps you grow etc..

To say 03:16
I may be blind but I’m still flying, I may be deaf but I’m gonna keep singing, I’ll just wing it world you can bring it ooh, Play the tune that I just can’t tell how to say, To say, to say , to say to say, (Saxophone, piano) There’s no ground but I’ll keep running , Its solid rock but I’m walking through it , You say impossible I say life, (sax) There’s no hurt in trying, maybe occasional dying… But hey… that’s life, that’s life that’s life, that’s life that’s life, (saxophone) Is it major is it minor? Are you happy or sad it’s hard to tell, To tell to tell , A way, a way a way ,a way a way a way, (saxophone) A way a way a way a way, A way a way a way a way, A way, a way, a way.

Aiilalalalai 02:50
Ailalalai danced the little flowers, Ailalalai sang the little birds, Ailalalai said the little fishy that was swimming in a pond that was quite small… Ailalalai purred the little panther, Ailalalai everybody sang, Ailalalai everybody chanted, Ailalalai oooooh (ooohh) Ailalalai carried the little breeze that heard the tune, Ailalalai whispered the wind, Ailalalai ‘till the sun went down, But when it got dark they all had to go to sleep, But ailalalai chirped all of the crickets, Ailalalai who’d the little wise owl, Ailalalai howled the coyote who was singing to the moon (ooooooohhhh), Ailalalai, snored all the animals, And everyone was happy, for the rest of time singing, Ailalalai ailalalalailailai ailalalalai aaiiilailailaiii etc..

Story teller 01:34
Story teller story teller tell me what you know about the show, Tell me how to write hell! Tell me how to tell, Give me a little guidance I swear I’ll take it well, How to make the perfect song that everyone will sing.. May-be I’m just blind looking for something I already have in mind.. Where are the ideas sent to me?! Could I have an emergency?( ahhhhh) Could I have an emergency?!(ahhhhh) Need some inspiration can’t find concentration, Oh story teller rhyming used to be a cup of tea, But now that I can’t find, the words I have in mind.. But you probably don’t know, You probably don’t know, you probably don’t know, you probably…. Dooonn’t knnooow.

The way home 00:56
Can't believe my eyes, I think the world's in a disguise for me, Can't take a step there, Without, causing a tear in everything, Bad luck, no luck, Changing mangling, our minds, Catching, loosing, but well we'll never find, The way home.
14.
I ask 03:32
Why is it so gloomy, Everyone’s looking down while it’s up, Preventable situations, unprevented, So I ask why, I ask why , I ask whaaaaay( sax harmony) I ask why ( sax ) I ask why I ask whhhhaaaaaaaayyyyyy, But it doesn’t matter, ‘cause they’re gone… Why are we so cranky, everyone’s shivering about while it’s warm, A new beginning sold it to the old one, Oouh ‘cause there gone… So you think that someday it will fly away?! You think it but no it will stay, So I ask why, I ask why, I ask why, I ask why I ask whayayayy I ask Wwwwwwhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy, ‘Cause they’re gone….
15.
Candle light 01:46
When I go, the wheels will turn and burn out my light, When I walk and when I talk my heart won’t be in sight, So farewell dear friends, Farewell delight, following the candle light, Oooh farewell… When I leave, the sun will rise and the plants will grow, But when I walk and when I talk I guess I’ll never really know, So farewell dear friends farewell delight following the candle light, Ooooh farewell, (OOOOOOOHHHWWAAAHHHH) But we mustn’t say goodbyeeeeee (OOOOOOOOHHWWAAHHH) No we mustn’t say goodbyeeee ( OOOHHHWAAAHH) No we mustn’t say good byeeeeeee (OOOOOOOOHHWAAHH) (following the candle liiiight).

about

I wrote the majority of this album while travelling through Barcelona/Madrid Spain for 3 weeks, during the journey in Barcelona I attempted performing in plazas but I found Madrid to be much friendlier to street performers, some fellow musicians busking near me invited me to play down in the subway tunnels, I got to hear new genres of music from their region, such as flamenco pop,
this is my first album of original songs which I recorded all in the year of 2013, since I was just starting to compose many of my songs are quite short, those songs I put as 75 cents instead of 99,
now that you know the context, take a listen, I hope you enjoy my music.
