This is not a serious attempt at a song, it's just a dare. One of my coworkers challenged me to cover the Rebecca Black song and I like a good challenge.
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.
This is about the free spirit soaring high above the seas, forests, cities and times.
~There is no dark side in the moon, really. As a matter of fact it's all dark~
"Tu me manques":
He pasado el tiempo en este secundario
amanecer
Lejos de tu abrigo en un contemplativo y persistente
Silencio
Creo que dejaré todo
Tu me manques
Ha callado el viento y he escuchado mis sueños
que anhelan tu ser…

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.

"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…

"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.

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

Everyone has had one of those special nights . . .

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…
