Description:
A song of longing for something...but what?
ENGLISH TRANSLATION PROVIDED BELOW SPANISH LYRICS.
Lyrics:
quinto día
la noche había caído ya
y no quedaba nadie más
se fue a buscarla y no la encontró
primer indicio de algo extraño
buscó su número y llamó
dejó mensaje y esperó
pacientemente en el sillón de piel
hastá que el sueño le venció
luego al despertar
se pierde en su soledad
¿que se puede hacer
si no vuelve a aparecer?
el sol por la ventana ya
el timbre del teléfono
le trajo en si corriendo a contestar
pero no había mas que silencio
pasaron cuatro días así
con cuatro noches sin dormir
al quinto decidió que ya no más
y se burló de su destino
luego al despertar
se pierde en su soledad
¿que se puede hacer
si no vuelve a aparecer?
(translation)
fifth day
by that time, night had already fallen
and there was no one left around
he looked for her, she wasn't there
first sign of things gone wrong
he looked for her number and called
left a message and sat still
patiently waiting in the leather chair
until slumber overcame him
then when he wakes up
he is lost in loneliness
what is there to do
if she is never to appear
sun coming in through the window
a phone ringing made him come to
he ran to pick it up
but there was only silence
four days went by like that
with four sleepless nights
the fifth he decided that's enough
and defied his destiny
then when he wakes up
he is lost in loneliness
what is there to do
if she is never to appear

production &mdash 11/12/07 - 09:11:38 PM
thanks for your comment. i usually struggle with mixing and mastering. it becomes so frustrating to the point of almost quitting. somehow this one went over quite easily and i was pleased with the first mix i did. so i appreciate your comment, it is reassuring! [ Reply to This ]
flawless production &mdash 11/12/07 - 09:27:14 AM
Because I do not understand the words I can only comment on the overall sound of this and IT IS FLAWLESS. The soundstage is perfect and the arrangement is wonderful.
Even though I do not understand the words, I understand the song. [ Reply to This ]

nylon &mdash 11/13/07 - 07:14:56 AM
hi feter. yes, it is a nylon string guitar. i've only had this particular one for about a month and a half and i'm really enjoying it. i have an older spanish guitar, but my mic work needs a lot of help so i had to get myself an electric acoustic. thanks for your kind words. [ Reply to This ]

Dylan Like &mdash 11/13/07 - 06:46:17 AM
Very Bob Dylan like.. Its very pretty.
The production is great!!! The haromies are nice. The only think I see it needs is more bass. But I am a bass player. So of course I think that!!! hahaha [ Reply to This ]
bass &mdash 11/13/07 - 07:04:11 AM
i totally understand what you're saying. i'm a bassist as well and i tend to put the bass way in front, so i've been trying to curb that. i may have gone too far on this mix! thanks for listening and commenting!! [ Reply to This ]
:-) &mdash 11/13/07 - 03:31:40 PM
i was very happy to get your e-mail after work. This song was very relaxing to listen to and inspiring as well. I am getting the itch to create again....it's only a matter of time!!!
Very beautiful song...exceptional vocals. [ Reply to This ]

Linda, thanks for stopping by and listening. And I meant what I said, ok? I hope all is well and we'll do another tune pretty soon. [ Reply to This ]
Lush &mdash 11/13/07 - 08:15:51 PM
There seems to be a pattern emerging with the themes here today about losing or missing someone.
I was just listening to Moviz, " Another Golden Autumn " where he is speaking of holding on to a memory.
I posted my tune about a bloke whose lady just left him.
"Cryin' in Me Guinness".
Is it the fall bringing these tunes out?
Anyhow, I really enjoyed your tune and arrangement, it just flowed so nicely.
You have a wonderful voice and it was enhanced by your beautiful choice of instrumentation.

hello &mdash 11/17/07 - 09:57:20 AM
Thanks for your kind comments, Frank. My first time playing around with strings, probably won't be the last! I'm glad you liked it. [ Reply to This ]
Lovely .. &mdash 11/15/07 - 05:21:44 PM
.. really excellent instrumention: the pan flutes working
extremely well .. guitar is sweet, as is the soft mellow swing beat going on, very 'right' percussion too..but your vocals on this are just perfect...harmonies in just the right places and the whole package is mixed very well. The little instrumental breaks are excellent too ..
the orchestral/string/pizz stabs work very well with
the nicely played solo. A very 'showcase' piece, showing
off your multi-faceted talents. Brilliant song... a little mastering might bring up the vocals a little,
which you could afford to. [ Reply to This ]
showcase piece &mdash 11/17/07 - 10:01:54 AM
Alan, you're so kind. I really appreciate your thoughtful comments and advice. I feel good about this song and it is very rewarding to receive such encouraging feedback. But i'll tell you right now, that's as loud as my voice is ever gonna get, 'cause i'm so self-conscious about it :) At one point I almost gave up on singing and was gonna let this one be an instrumental!! Again, thank you so much for your comments. Cheers. [ Reply to This ]
beautiful song &mdash 11/16/07 - 10:26:23 PM
I really enjoyed this alot. You have a wonderful voice and this is such a pleasant, yet sad melody. Loved the guitar and instrumentation you added. Nice job throughout! Downloaded and faved! Thank you for sharing another great song! [ Reply to This ]
thanks &mdash 11/17/07 - 10:09:13 AM
Gail, your comments mean so much. I'm a fan of your music, and I think you have a real grasp of melody and mood, so I really appreciate your feedback. I'm happy you liked this and I look forward to hearing more from you. [ Reply to This ]

Reflective &mdash 11/25/07 - 07:23:32 AM
This is a moody and reflective piece. Very enjoyable. I like the section where the guitar moves from finger-picked to strummed. Vocals are excellent, and remind me of Jobim.
I love the string pizzicatos. Very good choice. [ Reply to This ]
