These Words Are Best
A poem about the power of the tongue: words that wound, words that heal. Nu-metal rap meets dubstep, with staggered doubles for a live, canyon-wide sound. Written by Terry West, arranged with John. Life and death are in the words. These words are best. Heads up, fellow artists: I'm also building Deep River Radio, an independent station where 80% listener's dues goes straight to the artists who get played. If you've got songs you're proud of, come check it out and bring them aboard: deepriverradio.commore

Big Big World
Big Big World - Kinder Von Seraphine "A very small man in a big big world, living alone… many years now gone." This one's about looking back and wishing you'd been braver: braver to sing, to love, to say what was in your heart. If it lands with you, I'd love to hear what you think.

El viejo Manuel
El viejo Manuel En una calle fría y gris, como un día en pleno abril, de camino al colegio sin amanecer, nos cruzamos con el viejo Manuel. Su buzo desgastado, cubierto de remiendos y hollín: su rostro cansado apenas logra sonreír. Cada mañana, con su voz áspera y gastada, escupe las mismas palabras que se clavan como puñales en el alma. La historia se repite una y otra vez: ellos siguen diciendo mierda y nosotros, amén. Juegan con vuestro futuro en un burdel. Eso en la escuela no lo vais a aprender. En la tarde, mientras se toma un café, más negro que las grietas de su piel, nos revela por qué se pierde en la noche y regresa manchado al amanecer. Acompaña a la luna a cantar las nanas que nadie canta ya. Y cuando la noche se rompe en su voz, se mancha de hollín al darle cuerda al sol. Pasados los años veo la esquela de Manuel. La fecha de su muerte, sin misas ni parientes, solo unas letras que con su voz resonando en mi mente, comienzo a leer. - Mastered by mixea.commore
