Thanks:
First the musicians who used their considerable talent to make these songs better than I could have ever hoped for! Second YOU, for listening to this album, buying it and reading the liner notes.
No animals were harmed during the recording of this album. However, a lot of gear has had a hard time coping with all my and our doings. Just to give you an idea: several microphones, a couple of guitar amps, 2 basses, 6 and 7 string guitars, 1 drum kit, a master keyboard, an awful lot of computer time and software like BFD, ProTools, Blue Cat, DVI, Ozone, AIR, just too much to remember.
I also thank Fabrizio Borgosano (www.coralriff.biz ) for the front cover artwork and logo design. And of course Joan M. Munoz (http://raiwaz.blogspot.com.es ) for an unique drawing which can be found inside theCD booklet. Awesome work guys!
And I must not forget my family who had to put up with me disappearing all the time to work on this release and make them “ enjoy” it over and over and over again.
Oh. central theme for the album is TIME (just in case).
2 IMAGINARY QUEENS
there on the lakeside
where the water will be forever
and where the grass is green
the wind is blowing in the trees
I thought I heard singing
this must be a mistake
I thought I heard singing
on the Westside of the lake
while I was just
courting imaginary queens
while I was only
fulfilling my dreams
there on the lakeside
where the water is forever
water is forever life
save and flowing for miles
I thought I saw something
this must be a mistake
I really thought I saw her
at the Westside of the lake
while I was just
courting imaginary queens
while I was only
fulfilling my dreams
she disturbed the balance
of self made-up love scenes
but we can only win
as love is king
that lady was for real
and she got all it takes
she made it real to reel
this can’t be a mistake
and what is there to fake
being naked at the lake..
4 PHOENIX FOR THE SUNRISE
no matter how many pollutions
may stain my virgin face
I’m sure to find a fruitful path
leading to invincible grace
a phoenix for the sunrise
in the morning always new
a phoenix for the sunrise
let it shine on you
no matter how many danger
will hold my steady breath
I will find an appetite way
escaping the sheet of death
a phoenix for the sunrise
in the morning always new
a phoenix for the sunrise
let it shine on you
will I cry when I fly away
will I cry?
will I cry?
will I …?
a phoenix for the sunrise
in the morning always new
a phoenix for the sunrise
let it shine on you
6 SET ME FREE
I’m not superstitious
trying to find out
where our love has gone
is it not too late
to turn fate around
to be with you again
the rise and fall
I have seen it all
the words and silly lies
the head and heart
I’ve seen it all
being torn apart
set me free
just unlock my heart
and throw away the key
baby set me free
the love I once knew
is no longer in me
I just can’t believe
though the final state
is yet to come
you consider it done
too late to stay
too late to wait
repeat chorus
is it really to late
I just can’t believe
you know I would wait
given a chance on relief
8 LOOKING FOR SOMEONE
suffocated by the news
strangled by the knowledge
another war another law
another victim
looking for someone that won’t show
got lost along the way
why he don’t see it I don’t know
been hit by a truck ?
sometimes you is blind
and we won’t know it
I can see the parallel lines
mystification in the system
I can feel the vertical vines
the annihilation of society
looking for someone where did she go
lost the track somewhere
was she acting blind I don’t know
a little carried away
sometimes you don’t see
and we won’t know it
I can see the parallel lines
mystification in the system
I can feel the vertical vines
the annihilation of society
another crash accident
another war
another innocent victim of some law
or it’s trespasser
can’t you read the signs
suffocated by the news
strangled by the knowledge
don’t you follow me
won’t you get it through your head
one day we’ll all be …..
10 TIME
I need it
I never have enough
I use it
and I still need more
there’s so much for me to do
so much to get through
if I just had time
time ain’t on my side
got no time for you
got no time to write
I need it……..time
I never have enough
money can’t buy..time
but I always need more
my list keeps growing longer
the desires get stronger
if I just had time
time ain’t on my side
got no time for you
got no time to write
still there’s always you
when I’m at breakdown point
you always pull me through
and save me for a while
all this doing it for you
sometimes knocks me off my feet
still there’s always you
when I’m in breakdown seat
12 PLACES NEVER SEEN
father,
where have you been
and father
what have you seen
please tell me
where did you stay so long
what have you done
I talked to the wind
chasing the shadows of my dreams
I walked through the wasteland
to places never seen
father,
why did you go
father, (oh father)
we missed you so
please show me
where you have been so long
what did go wrong
I talked to the wind
chasing the shadows of my dreams
I walked through the wasteland
searching for places never seen
I could tell you
of all wonders that I saw
and I could tell you
about the love I’ve never known
I’d like to show you
all the ways that made me see
all the landscapes
in the hearts of mystery
but I’ll say nothing
you just leave that up to me
seek your own destiny
