about
I wrote this track first in english when i used to take the train from Union Station in L.A to Capistrano beach.Then driving to Malibu looking for a party, vampires and crows were very soothing for the time i was wandering in the city of Angels.Musically the song first took shape in Hollywood when i sang the melody over a loop of Jesse Rogg whom kindly let me use it as the "bed" where all the rest was built.
The accordion as a "soundbite intro" came at the last stage of the production.
lyrics
Tomé un bus, tome un metro
Perdí la fe en un solo momento
Maneje, al paraíso por la costa zigzagueantes precipicios
Indecisiones, calibraciones estoy cansada de esta línea fantasmal
Tomé un bus, “I took a metro”
Salió el sol estaba adentro
Navegué, por el silencio entre dunas y espejismos cabalgué
Indecisiones, calibraciones estoy cansada de esta línea fantasmal.Veo vampiros se ven muy bien ten cuidado usan tu mente, usan tu mente, usan tu mente, usan tu mente,usan tu mente, usan tu mente, usan tu mente.
Voy bajando en espiral… ”down, down”
Buscando una respuesta y al final
El cuervo me hablo y me enseña a volar y a volar…
Fue un respiro, un parpadeo
Dije adiós perdí el aliento
Caminé, buscándote
No encontré a nadie divagando tomé un tren,( tome un tren, tome un tren) ah! , ( tome un tren, tome un tren, tome un tren ) , ah!, tome un tren ..
Y te veo desde arriva un punto escondido en la ciudad….
Camine encontrandome en tus ojos claro-obscuro de ca fé..(claro obscuro, claro obscuro, claro obscuro…)
Claro obscuro color café, finalmente me encontré, claro obscuro .
Voy bajando en espiral… ”down, down”
Buscando una respuesta y al final “down down”
El cuervo me hablo y me enseña a volar, y a volar, y a volar y, a volar y a volar uououououou..espiritual..eh eh

If you’re mad for young guitar bands like Momma and Feeble Little Horse, L.A. four-piece Rocket are sure to hit your alt rock sweet spot. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2023
This remix LP reframes songs from Dear Nora’s “Skull Example,” sometimes making them sleeker, sometimes disassembling them entirely. Bandcamp New & Notable May 14, 2019
