Written and recorded sometime in 2008.
I was a bit hesitant to upload this one, but I do think the melody is rather nice... :)

That's right! The first of my pieces with a title!
It actually started as a little tune I whistled when I was getting my soccer stuff off after practice, and it hit me to record it, so I did... This is the outcome.

As another day ends, nightfall comes to the city.
I dedicate this song to my home, México City. This tune was inspired by its quiet and beautiful side and the remnants of nature still present on it.

Beat created from different strokes on an electric guitar, which is probably of no suprise. Pretty simple arrangement but a fairly strong melancholy-pop song.

First take guitar part that I just liked the feeling of, which sounds a bit like a haunting version of Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'.

Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
