Ja el tenim aquí! El primer cd ben gravat a l'estudi Sonograma sota la direcció de Carlos Corzán. Ha estat un plaer gravar-lo i més tenir-lo a les mans. Després d'haver guanyat el premi pentagrama pel disc "infinite paradox", aquest cd és el fruit de molts i molts anys d'esforços. Hi ha temes esplèndids i fins i tot algun sona per la ràdio. Increïble!

endure,
for the ones who moodily forgot to steal half the treasure we dug up unspoiled and free
could say nothing but resist, I could blame nobody worse than myself
inspire, let the air crawl in as you try to conspire all against the painful mantras you recite
when we meet now and again like those raindrops on a soaked window pane
but then another candlelight lapped on those somnolent closed eyes
terrified for spotting sounds of frequent tides
which would never cease their roll making this demise so cruel as it goes

do you recall the chant that we once brought to life?
would be great to gather it all when our tears dried at dawn at the end of the night
did you get through with life after losing your drive ?
what was that made you weaken so fast
and consider me lost as an irrational ghost so erratic and proud ?

please, let me fold your wings and keep them out of sight
I'll defend you as if I were a daring knight
I will never interfere with the monsters I have feared all my life

trust, trust in me when I assure you we were free
we denied our fate embracing heresy
when they looked at us askance as we went into a trance with our souls

do you recall the chant that we once brought to life ?
would be great to gather it all when our tears dried at dawn at the end of the night
did you get through with life after losing your drive ?
what was that made you weaken so fast
and consider me lost as an irrational ghost so erratic and proud ?

see (this is not the end of it)
you (this ain't gonna last for good)
some (this is somewhere, somewhere, somewhere)
where (all you gotta say is)
some (this demise won't stop what)
day (we've created with love)
free (grab my heart and smash it, crush it, wreck it while you're smiling)
smile be you somehow now

one man believes he knows what is true
and then ignores what is new
one man sustains he's nothing but plaint
and then embraces wealth
no matter what he says he's just a loser now

sometimes we gather things for our pride
sometimes we act like we're mad
sometimes we're sure we're moved by lust
and we are blind to see that plenitude's within
and richness's not the key to glory and ...

tear down your throne, see for yourself you're nought
tear down your throne and abandon the greed you got

see you coming right my way my heart begins to pump up
I wouldn't mind to be for once dying here for you
I'll better wait some other day
to see you're just another
but then I feel I won't resist
this love that's growing without end
I'll get crazy once again

one man believes he knows what is true
and then ignores what is new
one man sustains he's nothing but plaint
and then embraces wealth
no matter what he says he's just a loser,
just a loser now

tear down your throne, see for yourself you're nought
tear down your throne and abandon the greed you got

bliss nestles in wee things you truly keep finding

heard on the radio once, "the future's getting dark"
I cannot reckon who's it for mine's bright and full of life the edge is not in sight
wish I could tell you something more
my music is inside my heart, my soul, my brain
think I will always feel the same, and it's true

"the end is nigh" they say "repent and purify your sins"
nobody knows how long we'll tread upon this land
for life's a mystery to all
and when my time shall come I'll try not to decay
a gateway to another world

my music is inside my heart, my soul, my brain
think I will always feel the same
can't you see it, I know, I got to sing

I'll say goodbye to all my gurus
they tried so hard to blow my mind
I'll interrupt the course of sorrows one more time till tomorrow
I'll say hello to things to happen new and better
I say new and better, right on

"tomorrow never comes" or else I heard them say,
"the apocalypse is on the verge"
get rid of all my load that's what I'm gonna do
escape to nowhere with my rage

we look as if we were all hanging from a cloud
a spark of innocence, no doubt, there is no doubt
and we will sing, sing it loud

I'll say goodbye to all my gurus
they tried so hard to blow my mind
I'll interrupt the course of sorrows one more time till tomorrow
I'll say hello to things to happen new and better

meet me by this ol' willow tree
see me cry once again with my solitude
days pass by, dare not abrade my weary soul
but who could spoil this wind of dawn if I'll be gone far away?
I'll take my leave of mortal flesh
velvet glove, sweet caress in the midst of nowhere, spools of thoughts
leaves keep swaying yet hiding me, inciting me
sudden rain becomes misty and blue, indeed around me

soon my words'll fall into an abyss of loneliness
a host of dreams erode my bliss around me
ceaseless rain, won't you stop for a while
your drops keep flooding my distress
together with my million tears
how could I belong to you if you invade my privacy!
do relieve this misery keeps nurturing my infant fears

back on my knees I need some kind of love
to ascend into the sky with hearts denuded of prejudice
someone who could make me fly, stumble, fall or even die
I don't wanna fling my years on end waiting for the prince to come
I'll slay dreams if I can, anything'd be fine
around me, without you, you and me, behind you

back on my knees
around me
I need some kind of love
without you
to ascend into the sky
you and me
with hearts denuded of prejudice
behind you
someone who could make me fly, stumble, fall or even die
I don't wanna fling my years on end waiting for the prince to come
I'll slay dreams if I can, anything'd be fine
such void is around me, without you, you and me, behind you

someone who could make me fly, stumble fall or even die
I don't wanna fling my years on end waiting for the prince to come
I'll slay dreams if I can anything'd be fine I swear
what should I long for but see you ? come and hold me
why should I desire less ? dervish dancing on and on
I can't wait no longer now, winds of change and rhyme abound,
I'm so lonely, my misfortune...

I've never known a guy so quiet, a bunch of words would make him bright
a silhouette that strolls alone, a sign of times I just don't know
the silent kind he has no goal but sacrifice his fragile soul
a tiny spot in huge resort, a hero for his loyal court

he stands apart serene and calm looking forlorn
and curiously observing all secluded with indifference and nebulous
could he float for evermore through his universe
of his body and his mind and not lose his ways

so, mister A is a mystery, what's on your mind ?
a secret box of fantasy you live over time
we'll never know what's in your world
we'll fathom your muddy life but we won't find no mandala
there's more than we will know

he's been no lucky in his life but he himself deserves a wife
a musketeer of many fights, a solitaire in endless nights
another day, another time ,he was so lively sang so fine
where is the one we knew so well, he locked him up in golden cell

he stands apart serene and calm looking forlorn
and curiously observing all secluded with indifference and nebulous
could he float for evermore through his universe
of his body and his mind and not lose his ways

so, mister A is a mystery, what's on your mind ?
a secret box of fantasy you live over time
we'll never know what's in your world
we'll fathom your muddy life but we won't find no mandala
there's more than we will know

mister A, please open up
we would love to peep inside
if this mystery goes on
we won't get it right

felt agog in boundless shrine of diffraction
much of us embracing sadness on the ebb
acquiescence in erstwhile shade of reaction, love or agony ?
As we fled away exalting many a martyr
got enmeshed in webs of outrageous deceit
where's the aftermath of glory and disaster ? Oh, dubiety

frightful moments as the nymph is rejected
so ephemeral and easy to abrade
as her image is abeyance's distorted in nowhere land
sullen labyrinth mysterious and so minute
memories enshrined in everybody's heart
and if we only could discern and wonder why not, sudden apogee

so what a drag we chose the track that led us blind and out of mind in the storm
as we declined the shine that lit gloam we twined and that's all
our reason does enisle and reckons for a while
all the faith that is torn is turning sour
enabling us to shake the tree we idolized
our lantern will glow in paths of roguery, is patience all that we need?

Tender sighs and even to feel the passion for the sins that we cursed
temporary freedom, the muses have restored our dreams, I know

and if we ever touch the sphere and feel addled,
could you be so kind to assuage all our grief ?
Why can't we listen to our hearts while we fumble ? Sort of cecity
in this decadence of opulent oblivion
effigies are mostly erected for our pride
we'll be waiting to bequeath you our wisdom, insanity

soon our souls will be enthralled by nescient winds
that'll vie with no shame, it's so arcade
myriad types of mundane fights so derelict, oh no
devious schemes of stagnant tides on our shore
our haven's scorched by aimless charm so what's the price we gotta pay
to feel released and sense the bliss
inside this dreary haze avoiding getting trapped

we believe in sunrise, the gate of all the hope desired for so long
it's a new religion, our credence to accept our fate that's to come

gal, maybe you don't understand what is happening now
as a friend I can say I'm your lover and I'll stay by you now
babe, please hold me tight and leave all your worries behind
with your half-moon negligee
that I know came all the way from Saint-Tropez, sixtynine

is your eyes or your hair or the music that I heard 'tween your legs ?
I don't know what it is but I think I'll never miss
all the joy that I sense with your sex
now, once and again ain't got nothing but loving you, girl
so, dance for me, now I'll watch you as you twist all around
if you feel that my heart thumps much faster than that, it's all right
I'll let my body enthrall you don't even have to howl
as I see your body starting to roll
we could try out something new just to see another view of the style, carry on

baby, come closer my dear I want to glorify the little sister you got
oh my, I'm having a rod, ooh ooh for you
oh my, I'll loose off the lot, ooh ooh my love

love, try this bra on that I have brought you from my last trip
you will look like a mermaid
from the rotten scene of Carnaby Street, London Town
babe, please hold me tight and leave all your worries behind
with your half-moon negligee
that I know came all the way from Saint-Tropez, sixtynine

is your eyes or your hair or the music that I heard 'tween your legs
I don't know what it is but I think I'll never miss
all the joy that I sense with your sex

seasons so gentle my love is the breeze
one step asunder
she holds my breath while I'm on my knees
infinite paradox
lonesome and guilty she sets me at ease
such is the world I know

could I have another moment now
of happiness with you
any word would do me good I know
I'm satisfied
you're so tender and at times so wild
that I do float in you
when I fold you to my heart
oh oh it's so fine
oh oh it's so fine

kisses and silence my love is the queen
she knows the reason
of secrets that can't ever be seen
infinite paradox
rescued and saved me she held me a hand
gave me the strength to be

could I have another moment now
of happiness with you
any word would do me good I know
I'm satisfied
you're so tender and at times so wild
that I do float in you
when I fold you to my heart
oh oh it's so fine
oh oh it's so fine

mornings and sunsets she fills my desire
I love you baby, love
oh love, oh love

"tomorrow will be too late to live" she thinks staggering
she's on her own as she's placing her reflections on a sole dish
feeble, she can't get better
lonesome, frail as a feather
woman, she's torn asunder

then silence takes the command as it shatters on her soul
overcasting bygone wishes
even feelings get so moistened
sadness has come to stay in
sorrow drills through her living
woman, the world's forgotten

watching the days slowly slip by
mementos, a youth that won't come back
shivers and stares at the embers, remembers
her memory seems to crack
the blackbird quits the eaves

she's weeping her grief defiles the joy she borrowed
tears become blood of sorrow
agelong migraine long time ridden, harsh and tender
humdrum, the clock keeps ticking
sorrow drills through her living
woman, the world's forgotten

there are words that hurt like weapons
there are looks that stab like daggers
beware of those who brag
try it now and check it out mama
got enough with phoney nirvana
beware of tongues that plunge too deep
forget not the shield

there are deeds that show you're fragile
the betrayals are taken for granted
you'd better hold up your head
walls are high in lunatic asylums
built to lose somebody's equilibrium
meanwhile you seem to be so meek
defend your intrigue

loving is what you need
keep on sowing and plant the seed
loving someone like me
I will always be on the scene
so release all the knots you tied
listen please don't you doubt I lied

when you feel you've been turned down
when the cloud you live in ain't number nine
open your mouth and yell
when all is saved for rainy days
when doors are locked and sealed
beware of helping hands for free
remember to breath

loving is what you need ...

I might halt and let it roll
my world is now at odds with me
I can't stay forever
my soul will no longer roam

the more I try to change my mood
the less I see there's a way out
I can't be much better
my spirit will find a home

falling in pieces won't help me thru'
I need somebody to trust
closing my eyes would be so true
but after all you see me sink down to the depth
just like a stone I surge and then merge

it seems my flame is dimming out
the wheels corrode I can't go on
I can't stay forever
my soul will no longer roam

falling in pieces won't help me thru'
I need somebody to trust
closing my eyes would be so true
but after all you see me sink down to the depth
just like a stone I surge and then merge

of course I'm glad, I'm doing what I want to do feeling high among these kids
Oncle Mad was when I first began to show and La Guatlleta was our home
time did fly, was on my side
life could wait but not my pride

then a change, Ozono was a bluesy band, Jordi was behind
after that, VH would knock upon my door so I joined them in number 4
funny guys with them I tell ya I learned a lot always there just on the dot
time did fly, was on my side
life could wait but not my pride

that's when I began to draft some stuff, words and songs for everyone
since then I have written hundreds, a score is but a crap but others are wondrous
when the lady is by my side I can write just like angels
"eta in a jiffy" was a peak but then "as we diffract our hope" wasn't much farther
"infidox", it was a milestone in my way but I cannot forget them all, feel overeager

I don't know if I am good or not all I think is I am loved
I'll be glad to be remembered as one who sang and jumped
and wrote some odd poems
who loved his friends and girls and smiled quite so often

someone who could cry when someone else was hurt

who helped his friends when they were down, nothing else mattered
someone who could play with all the words he knew
bamboozled by a lot or few, sooner or later
