Piece inspired by romanticism in the city: love within concrete walls, poetry beneath artificial light... Three vocal parts (translated lyrics below) became in very different moods in the songwriter phase, so I couldn't fit them in the same tempo. Working hard on transitions, I got the following solution: Intro: ad libitum A: 6/4 & 5/4 at 147bpm B: 4/4 at 220bpm C: 4/4 at 293bpm Such ABC pattern is repeated twice, structured with some city scenes, and 2nd 'C' part includes a guitar soloing lesson by soundcloud.com/paco-ray, old friend of mine, technical consultor and personal luthier ;) Pic: edited photo taken from home studio window where I recorded some city sounds for the track. LETRA / LYRICS: DAS VIDA A MI CIUDAD / YOU GIVE LIFE TO MY CITY En la ciudad donde vivo, / In the city where I live, llena de romanticismo, / full of romanticism, el cariño que has perdido / the affection you have lost, ven a buscarlo conmigo. / come to look for it with me. Las farolas en la acera, / The lamps along the sidewalk, con su fija alternativa, / with their constant alternation, iluminan, no iluminan, / illuminate, do not illuminate, el escenario de mi vida. / the stage of my life. Entre bloques de hormigón, / Among blocks of concrete, somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize. Entre bloques de hormigón, / Among blocks of concrete, somos capaces de sentir amor. / we are able to feel love. Caminando sobre asfalto, / Walking on asphalt, abrazado a tu cadera, / held on your hip, entre coches aparcados, / amid parked cars, duerme la ciudad entera. / the entire city sleeps. Eres tú toda la vida / You are all the life que esta ciudad necesita, / that this city needs, compartiendo cada esquina, / sharing every corner, calles de melancolía... / streets of melancholy... Entre bloques de hormigón, / Among blocks of concrete, somos capaces de pedir perdón. / we are able to apologize. Entre bloques de hormigón, / Among blocks of concrete, somos capaces de sentir amor. / we are able to feel love. ER21HC01 - (C) Ruizzo 1995 - (R) Francés Records;) 2014
