Songs that we love , we love for a reason, mostly personal- to make that experience public means something too. other than that i like your version for many reasons, especially your voice.
This started out as an acoustic piece that turned out kinda bluesy.
Inspired by current events.

How many times
How many times
can I wake up in my sleep
How many times
can I walk until my feet are sore
How many times
can I freeze my…

"Náufrago"
El barco "Vidas" ya zarpó, me alejó de la costa
llamada "Libertad" por otros.
En olas me acerqué a vagos horizontes
Mudando piel y corazón.
Pero el mundo…
People are dying every day in the street
People are dying every day
People are dying every day in the street
Just for being people in the street
Peace, when's it coming, coming for the people in the street
Peace, you can sing it
Sing it for the…
"Luna":
Ir, nunca volver al viento sur...
Ni dejar marcas de arena o rastros.
Yo estaré bien en la marea.
Luna, guía mis pasos
encauzados por lágrimas de mar.
Ir, nunca volver al viento sur, perfecto y frío
Surcaré grises cuerpos…

weightless
you flew in my life
and unexpected high flyer
oh such a beautiful kite
all your colors shining light
so high...i followed you up
to where the daytime turns night
then we circled the sun
weightless with laughter
so joyous...kids on…
Everyone has had one of those special nights . . .

LYRICS:
Sneak out and slip into the night
Shotgun we're going for a ride
Forget your curfew
Everything will be all right…
This song is about that moment that you, as an adult, stop trying to live up to everyone's expectations of you..whether it be a girl/boyfriend, family member, society, etc.
Dioses:
Voy a confiar
En la remota esperanza
De abrirte a verdades
Tomadas de un sol arcano y sus hijos
(del sol y sus hijos)
Transita entre eras
Guiado por fuerzas distantes
Los ciclos le esperan, abre la puerta.
Abre tu mente y…
"Círculo":
Subo peldaños queriendo escapar
De este cÃírculo falso:
Nacer, crecer, entender y dejar...
Luego muerte verás.
Te han enseñado a nunca cuestionar
Te ocultaron caminos.
Te atemorizaron siempre con
un castigo infernal…

This song made me a professional songwriter when George Sluizer, the director of THE VANISHING, put it in the movie by that name.
SWEET RAIN Key G

One night after three month of no rain, as we were driving home from singing at Gringos in Grapevine a splash of water hit the windshield.
I said to myself, "Sweet Rain."
I went home and wrote the song. It's on the soundtrack of a movie called…
I've been told that drowning is a dreamy way to go.
THE ANGELS CRIED "NO!"
He lived high on the mountain top
He lived there with his love
He tumbled to the valley deep
When she gave him a shove
And when he hit the valley deep

LET IT GO 032011 Key - G
I do a lot of walkin' so I find a lot of stuff
I fill my pockets up with bolts and nuts
Once upon a while I find a diamond in the ruff
But mostly dimes and nickels in the ruts…
