Hola a todos!!! I hope you are ok.
I had a lot of work doing this song, it does not have much instruments but I had to decide which to choose and when to appear... The mix? Maybe the voice...

Stay well

Mora



I wake up in the night
and I listen to the silence
while the darkness softens
as the hours pass
and life dawns

My cats play in the hallway
chasing ghosts
and other friends

everything is contrast
between black and white
fading shadows
in the reality
of your memory

oh mummu oh mummy oh mummy

I caress the pillow
to shelter me
in its  so warm heat
and tears
finally
they release the pain
that these dates give  me

oh mummy oh mummy
I did not know that to live we had to die so many times

Hi Mora, what a great title!  I don't have any ghosts for friends, not yet... but thought that was a really poetic & evocative image.
I like the single piano notes that start this - like raindrops. 
And the "oh mummy" sections - I wasn't sure what you were saying at first (until I read the lyrics after watching the video) but I really like the sound of the words there, and the backing vocals around them.  It's another one of your atmospheric, delicate and slinky pieces - equal parts light and shadow, which is a good balance.  Well done on another cool track.
It's all too beautiful.

Ghosts and their tales make them to exist, I believe yes...
Thank you very much, it's a very special song and video to me.

Stay well there

@moraamarolaloba,

A haunting snapshot of pain and longing.  Love the image of cats chasing ghosts that you have created.   Great atmosphere created by the music . Guitar is as always first class and the production is quality.

More please

Hi
Nice song with a spooky feel
lots of light & shade & very well recorded, I got a feeling of Grace Jones
Great choice of sounds , I don't think this is mainstream but would certainly
catch a following in this genre
Well Done

Hi Mora, great lyric, and a really imaginative soundscape, loved the choice of sounds. When the percussion came in at first I felt it took away from the melancholy feel, but as it went on the development worked well.
Excellent!

Cheers

Jamie

Just great stuff as usual @moraamarolaloba I'm amazed how you keep coming up with new and inventive material. Listened a few times over the last couple of days

Hi Mora. I love the drowsy,waking up feel and the descriptive,imaginative lyrics.

I found this to be a powerful piece of music. You capture something very elemental here.

 Perfectly balanced mix and excellent recorded vocals.
The song is very high quality and beautiful!
