Malala 05:55
We are side by side Hello, can you hear me? From the other side of the ground We are wise and sad But you say your God isn’t mine In the flowerful valley Light and shadow Impatient world, are you ready? I’ve got to find a path taking me somewhere to be free No fears nor triggers A place on earth, are you there? Is that a shattering sound Or just a southern wind roaring In your dreams That you would never awaken Like a hidden hope My hands are catching raindrops In the diminishing silence I am standing here alone In the sand and smoke Reminiscing of you Sky and meadow Falling down right on me I must have lost my wings flying out of here to be free No sense nor reason Just escalated wrecking The sentiment drawn from the rising curved line In your dreams That you would never awaken

Late Parade 05:18
Like unwinding tangled threads She gets up, starts another ordinary day Staring at the sunbeams They seem far and near The long journey of all these years Her map is good for nothing but her legs can tell How wonderful it was How true they were She’ll catch the late parade in rain Invisible creatures take away Unbearable sadness day to day Between the scattered clouds She finds her melodies of mysterious love She’s dancing cheek to cheek He seems so proud and glad She’ll catch the late parade in rain Invisible creatures take away Unbearable sadness but don’t know why The only place where she is welcome now Suddenly in silence and the color fades away

I’m waiting for the train Under grey-blue skies I thought our days would never die Hope you and I will meet again Glad that I know you’re the one I found This long road, a line of sight Leaving our days behind You know I’ll be your light Wave, wave goodbye Tell me something I need to know Show me how to get through I’m looking for myself In the same old town I thought our days would never die Just realized that in this world The farthest place may be my own heart

Night Talks 05:11
Walking home all alone Through the darkness all around me It whispers a few words to my heart Softly in the still of the night Starry skies, such a perfect time Every reason for this moment But it stares at me seeing through my lies Softly in the still of the night Each day Travelling to the moon All I wanted was to grow up to be decent The years passed me by And now my body’s sinking slowly Awash in pale beauty Much brighter tonight, I’d rather die Softly in the still of the night

Moon Above 03:27
She was standing by the bay The neon light shown her pretty face In countless boats with little masts She saw herself, sailing though the past She worked like a dog night after night To find a way to live okay day by day We are part of history We are all unknown shining stars The moon above Calls her name She won’t play the game anymore Just follow the sounds coming through the door It’s time to leave once again Time to sail one last time The moon above Calls her name

Winter Song 06:11
言葉も見つからないほど 打ちひしがれ 北へ、北へ 旅を続ける 昨日までの 癒えない想いは なぜ 形を変えて 今 愛を問いかける 霧に混じり、足早に 聞こえるのは winter song 遠い日の winter song 見慣れたこの坂道を 駆け下りてゆく 西へ、西へ オレンジの空 明日からは もう逸れないように 君を この腕に抱いて ただ 愛を追いかけて 夕焼けに 身を任せ 口ずさむのは winter song 遠い日の winter song

Onaka ga suita en una casita Empanada y asado tambien bueno Pero esta noche Mi Corazon es para Fugazetta con queso Sergio, Ramiro y señor Richard Nant, Liliana, Matias, Martin y Guillo Vamos tienen un partido! La ciudad no es tan grande Sabemos nuestro camino muy bien Todos mis amigos Vamos a viajar en Subte con los perros Gabriella, Luisa, Vero y Kimbo Pequeno baterista Charlie con Matto La gruesa the thick pie crust La ciudad es mi amor La musica suena en la Recoleta Dejo mis lágrimas Para nuestra vida en el Rio de La Plata Pepe, Tito, Nasty y hermano chino Masa Kamaguchi y Ernesto Jodos Que copado! Pizza Güerrin!

Did he yawn in the sun? Lazy day dreaming away Did he have too much fun? Running all over the place Now the day’s almost done But he really doesn’t mind at all No, he really doesn’t mind at all Is he simple or wise? Waiting for me on the bed There’s a light in his eyes Visions alive in his head When he fell from the sky Did he think it was part of his dream? Did he even dream it all? How I long to be watching him run free again All I need to know was inside his soul within When he fell from the sky Did he think it was part of his dream? Did he even dream it all? Did he yawn in the sun? Lazy day dreaming away Did he have too much fun? Running all over the place Now the day’s almost done Do you really have to go? Come with me get lost in time In the endless afternoon Pepe’s endless afternoon

about

For this album (my sixth as a leader) I wanted to present my music in a different setting than my long-time working band House Of Illusion has provided. My friend and producer Guillermo Klein and I had the idea of stripping things down to just the essentials, to let the songs really speak for themselves. Most of the tracks are just me and a piano and my wonderful bassist and drummer with Guillermo filling things out here and there as needed. Luis Bacqué did an incredible job capturing our dynamic in the studio. This also is the first release from my own label Aklovap Records. I'm really pleased with the results and I hope that you will share these moments with me.
