Smoke - Only two glasses and Life..

With this song I wanted to describe a scene that in turn describes an underlying story through words that portray gestures and emotions.
I hope that despite my accent and after reading the lyric you like it.
Thank you very much and stay safe

Mora



I look at your window
from mine

only two glasses
and life 
separate us

and that simple distance
stirs in that air
that we can't breath together

together together

I  smoke
my cigarette
slowly
as if it were your kisses
giving light
to what is buried
alive

and I sigh shrouded in smoke
filling my room
with sadness and something else

smoke smoke smoke
that drowns me
that blinds me
putting paper tears
on my face

only two glasses
and life 
separate us
I did not know that to live we had to die so many times

What superb lyrics - I think these are the best you've written. I do wish I could write like this - I always try and put too many words in. You write from deep within your soul and you have a very finely tuned observational mind. It's really quite an experience to listen to especially on headphones. The musical track is another of your finely detailed, imaginative and innovative masterpieces.
What more can I say? Simply brilliant

I agree with Montydog. This is brilliant. Your accent adds to your material in a very positive way. Your vocal are excellent as always. I love the videos too. Keep em coming Mora and have a Happy and Safe New Year.

So distinctive! Really enjoyed the vocals and the arrangement, and the video was a nice touch too

Hola @kafla
Gracias, eres muy amable.
I hope you are well now after the corona... My first daughter also had the corona despite her youth (33) and she has had a very, very bad time. I couldn't go to see her or help her, all our contact has been by phone, something distressing for me ... but now she is better but with serious consequences. We all hope that in a while she will be fully recovered.
Have you recovered the taste and the smell?
Cuídate mucho y feliz 2021.

Brilliant!

Fantastic lyrics and I loved the video too...you are a true artist.

I quit smoking over 20 years ago...and I still miss is in a way. Benson and Hedges were my poison...literally! And Lucky Strikes, if I could get them...which wasn't very often. If I was feeling particularly exotic, I'd grab a packet of Gauloise or Gitanes from one of the specialist Tobacconists in Town...Disque Bleu being a particular favourite...happy days.

Top stuff from you...you really do bring something fresh and unique to the forum.

Hoping your daughter makes a full recovery and you have a great 2021!

Your unique style Mora....it's got a real cool beat to it this time and those guitar touches are nice.

Looks like you're really getting to grips with that cigarette which I can fully understand having given up last February!

This is probably my fave of yours for some time....not that I've listened to them all of course!

'Smoke' seems like a good title for a song of yours (not just the cigarette!)

Very nice performance. Really enjoyed it.
Take it easy.

You can check my stuff out here. Mini-album getting bigger slowly. Free download if you're poorer than me.

Hola @Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra
You are a champion to quit smoking !!! I have stopped smoking several times in my life, I know that I have that strength of will and character, that is why I recognize that I continue to smoke because I like it ... Although tobacco in these days of anxiety it has become a necessity, a tic, that is true.

Stay safe

@moraamarolaloba,

Reflecting on your catalogue of work, you have such a coherent album of music.  As always, this is emotive and thought provoking.

This is dark and sinister.  Really hard to ignore.  A really serious work of art!

I used to smoke a pipe too...I also loved it!  I grew up living next door to our local Member of Parliament...and we’d occasionally sit out front smoking our pipes and chat. I must write a song about the death of his wife, Mary, one day  :-X

A cigar was lovely...but quite an undertaking. And a special treat now and then was a box of Henri Wintermans Cafe Creme...just right in size and flavour...

A friend of a friend who was in UK Armed Services once brought me a pack of Russian cigarettes...they were brutal! They had a filter like a string vest 😀

A girlfriend used to say she loved watching me smoke because I looked so happy!
