Hi guys!!! Around here it is already hot wrapped in moments of rain that is appreciated, and with that strange feeling of longing for winter when thinking that the long-awaited summer is going to be hot, I leave you this song.

It is a metaphorical story, like most of my work, but it has something special for me. Lately I have a hard time writing a song and I have fought against myself like a lioness until I got something that I liked.
I have achieved the arrangement with sounds that I have created in my Alchemy and also invented atmospheres. It is seen that the more off I am, the more I demand myself !!!!
I had a lot of problems choosing the rhythm that would give strength to my rambling and I think I have succeeded.
It is a strange song, like my moment but I think it has something special, at least for me. Surely because of all the effort that takes inside...
As for the video, better not to talk, I did not want to do the footage because I did not know what I wanted to see reflected ... It was horrible! hahaha but finally I think I have managed to make the best video of my life.

The English translation is below the vid!





Today I feel like an old tree
at the top
of the landscape
of my head

I can no longer bear the weight
of broken dreams
in my branches
nor the hand of time
looking for my last leaves
to tear them off.

Today I feel like an old tree
as I watch the fire advance

sea of flames
that ripples and roars
while closing the distance

Today I feel like an old tree
no feet to save me
from what I look forward to

@moraamarolaloba Really cool video! (Can you share with us how you do it?) Really love the backing track: very atmospheric and love the drum! And, of course, the lyrics contain some real gems ...

A beautiful poem on the pain of aging ...

The track is fantastic. Some lovely guitar in there from Marcus (I assume 🙂) - that beat is fab. Drives it perfectly... and yes the lyrics are great. Really represent despair at aging... imagery is v clever. And as always sung with great passion. I love hearing you sing in Spanish!

Fab (again) @moraamarolaloba !

Hola @kevysc
Yes, it's true, I think the line you highlight describes very well the weight of time or life.
You have commented to me in your post that you and I often coincide on the themes of our songs ... It seems that we do and that places us both in a special moment in our lives, perhaps due to the corona virus and the fear of disappearing without further ado .
Muchas gracias for your nice comment.

this poetry
really nice imagery
and sweet touches
I speak Spanish but rarely get to hear it so the snippets I do understand are a treat.

your videos are always great
usually I'm in the habit of avoiding visuals but I do watch yours.

you're the genuine, real deal!
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

And there you have it.

@moraamarolaloba  this is exceptional! The swirling sound palette is gorgeous, love the guitar and that kick is amazing, really full and meaty!... the lyrics paint such a beautiful but hopeless picture of accepting defeat and finally giving in to the inevitable... so cleverly expressed and assembled into a great piece of music in harmony with it’s visual representation👌👌👌
Sound formed in a vacuum may seem a waste of time...

Lovely sounds - I really like the harmonies with your vocals, and the guitars really give me an international fusion of styles, definitely something Spanish but something Eastern and Western in there too.

As usual your lyrics shake our feelings and leave behind something important. Yes it is sad that we can't save ourselves from time. But even an "old tree" can grow more leaves in the Spring!

Ánimo - even with the struggles (or because of them) you are in a great moment of creativity.

Hi Mora , great lyric (again!).Video is special too and really supports the story.  Another hypnotic vocal performance and the supporting arrangement carries it all along beautifully.

Loved it

I did one of the kicks with Alchemy, on Logic Audio... Many times I am bored of looking for kicks and beats that I love so I decided making them like this...
Muchas gracias, it makes me very happy you liked it....!!!! @man made material

Hola @man made material
Muchas gracias.
I enjoy doing the songs as much as making the videos, both works complement each other, one is one leg and the other is the other .....

Hola @adamfarr

Happy to read you!!! I hope you are well.
I suffered a lot doing this song, I had neither the desire nor the strength to do anything but this is the result, a song that took me out of the black clouds. Thank you very much for listening, watching, reading and understanding.

Hola Mora!
This is great as always. I know that when I hit play with one of your songs I'm going on a journey. It's like hearing a new track from your favourite band. You do what you do so well. Just keep 'em comin. I love it. :)
