The Night of the Blackbird

Hello, I haven't been able to continue with my work for several months due to the illness that suddenly took my husband's life. Everything has been very difficult, but little by little, hope is breaking through and tearing away the veil of fear, allowing an unexpected sun to appear.

It's under that light, and watching our YouTube channel crumble, that I'm sharing this song today, which I love and thinking that many of you don't know.

In a few days, I hope, I'll be able to start composing again. In the meantime... Stay well


While I listen to the voice of the blackbird
I look at your face
wonderinf why why why
it's impossible to change past

I think of a thousand thngs
no clear thought
stands out from the crowd
that stirs in my mnd
screaming words
that cover each other

Everything could be so simple
like the games of children
but you have made me
grave for your dreams and mine

We are dead and alive
under layers of time
turned into stones over our heads

While I listen to the voice of the blackbird
singing singing singing
to the night
to the stars
that are still what they are
intertia over inertia
like our lifes

@Mora Amaro La Loba -- That's very terrible news. You have my sincere condolences and sympathy. I hope that you and your family are able to find peace after your devastating loss. Best wishes to you and your family, Mora. 🙏

I will comment separately on your song at a later time.

@Mora Amaro La Loba — Thank you for clarifying. It's good to read that your husband is alive and there is hope. I wish him a full recovery. I can only imagine how difficult his illness has been for you and your family. I'm sending you and yours positive thoughts, energy, and wishes for better days ahead. 🙏

Please do not apologize for your English. The fact that you can speak more than one language shows that you are highly intelligent. :D

I'll review your cool song later today. ;D

Best,
Joseph

@Mora Amaro La Loba – This is an incredible song and video! 🎶 Let's dive into both. I listened a few times to ensure I caught the subtleties of everything.

First, the percussion and bass are coupled nicely in the track, so one can hear and feel both. That creates a great groove to build the song upon. The synths and guitars are layered perfectly. Your vocals and self-backing vocals are awesome as usual. The mix is very clear—it's a great production, sound-wise! 🔊

Regarding the lyrics, they are clever and creative as always. The title is evocative, imaginative, and immediately piques one's curiosity about the song that follows. You've woven time into the story, as you often do, and that's always cool to read/hear! 😎 My favorite lines are:

We are dead and alive
under layers of time
turned into stones over our heads


Your song's words dance on the edge of the macabre (I love it!), and are magnetically enticing and cool. 💯

As for your music video—it's amazing! 🎥 I don't know how you always improve upon "great and awesome," but you do. This is likely your best video yet, with imaginative scenes and interesting images that feel like they're straight out of top episodes of The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery. Your performance throughout the video was very artistic and professional. I especially liked the eerie sun, moon, and sky imagery, and the dancing skeleton was a nice touch. 💀🌕

This is quite possibly my favorite song and video from you. Really great work, Mora! I look forward to hearing and seeing what you create next! :D

Kind regards,
Joseph :D

Hypnotic, sucks me in. My favorite part of the lyric:

We are dead and alive
under layers of time
turned into stones over our heads


For me there is so MUCH meaning in those three lines.

Another great one from you!

Hola @Vicki
I have enjoyed many songs of yours and all of them tell me about the sensitivity that travels you as well as your way of facing life, so I understand that you like these 3 lines.
Here is my dove, a being that came into my life to help me smile despite the hardness of life.
I send you a very big kiss.
