Let me tell you how it came to be DEJAME CONTARTE COMO FUE we were just prisoners of fear ERAMOS SIMPLEMENTE PRISIONEROS DEL MIEDO just letting go, you know the drill INTENTANDO SOLTAR, YA SABES DE QUE SE TRATA everyone knows just how you feel TODO EL MUNDO SABE COMO TE SIENTES unless the making of a deal EXCEPTO QUE LA NEGOCIACION wasn’t the plan they have concealed NO SEA EL PLAN QUE OCULTARON bought the ticket, sold my souvenirs COMPRÉ EL BOLETO, VENDI MIS RECUERDOS i wanted to be real, QUERIA SER REAL the last time i intended not to see LA ULTIMA VEZ QUE TUVE LA INTENCION DE NO VER someone just pushed me down the stream ALGUIEN ME EMPUJÓ RIO ABAJO i didnt want to go, you know YO NO QUERIA IR, YA SABES the closer you get to your dreams CUANTO MAS CERCA ESTAS DE TUS SUEÑOS the faster you begin to feel MAS RAPIDO COMIENZAS A SENTIR "is there a meaning after this?" "HAY UN SENTIDO DETRÁS DE TODO?" after this i ´ll just get up and go again DESPUES DE ESTO ME LEVANTARÉ Y SEGUIRÈ it never ends, you know NUNCA TERMINA, LO SABES collisions trying to be kisses from the sky CHOQUES QUE INTENTAN SER BESOS DESDE EL CIELO and as we travel through the pain Y MIENTRAS VIAJAMOS POR EL DOLOR the rain can’t wash us but we try LA LLUVIA NO NOS LAVA PERO LO INTENTAMOS it s better to repeat yourself ES MEJOR REPETIRSE than preaching someone else mind QUE PREDICAR LAS IDEAS DE OTRO everyone ones awakened now TODO EL MUNDO ESTA DESPIERTO AHORA but no one seems to get the prize PERO NADIE OBTIENE EL PREMIO no wonder in some book i read AHORA ENTIENDO PORQUE EN UN LIBRO QUE LEI we are all but sinners in this hell SOMOS TODOS PECADORES EN ESTE INFIERNO reflecting in a cosmic pond REFLEJANDO EN UN CHARCHO COSMICO the faces of the living and the dead LAS CARAS DE LOS VIVOS Y LOS MUERTOS the closer i get CUANTO MAS CERCA ESTOY the more i feel SIENTO MAS the weight of a lifetime EL PESO DE LA VIDA the longer i wait CUANTO MAS ESPERO the more i feel SIENTO MAS the weight of a lifetime EL PESO DE LA VIDA have some time to spare i guess TENGO TIEMPO DE SOBRA, ESPERO i hope this gets through, but who cares ESPERO QUE ESTO LLEGUE, PERO A QUIEN LE IMPORTA i never was so good with words NUNCA FUI BUENO CON LAS PALABRAS i mess up all the verbs and spend ME EQUIVOCO EN LOS VERBOS Y PASO my time besides an unmade bed MI TIEMPO AL LADO DE UNA CAMA DESHECHA the only thing i have to give LO UNICO QUE TENGO PARA DAR the simple way i chose to live LA FORMA SIMPLE QUE ELEGÍ VIVIR the reason to believe in LAS RAZONES PARA CREER EN everyday the morning comes CADA DIA QUE LA MAÑANA LLEGA oh please look for a better rhyme OH, POR FAVOR BUSCA UNA RIMA MEJOR the people have began to talk LAS PERSONAS COMENZARON A HABLAR they re wondering in their own thoughts ESTÁN DANDO VUELTAS EN SUS PENSAMIENTOS but maybe you can win them back PERO TAL VEZ LOS VUELVAS A GANAR just scream that melody you learned SOLO GRITA ESA MELODIA QUE APRENDISTE the night you had your chance to win the fight LA NOCHE QUE TUVISTE LA CHANCE DE GANAR LA PELEA and free your self from everyone Y LIBRARTE DE TODOS the closer i get CUANTO MAS CERCA ESTOY the more i feel SIENTO MAS the weight of a lifetime EL PESO DE LA VIDA the longer i wait CUANTO MAS ESPERO the more i feel SIENTO MAS the weight of a lifetime EL PESO DE LA VIDA let me tell you how it came to be DEJAME CONTARTE COMO FUE QUE we broke the chains to set us free ROMPIMOS LAS CADENAS PARA LIBERARNOS we didn’t know, nor didn’t care NO LO SABIAMOS, NI NOS IMPORTABA that every show becomes a stair QUE CADA SHOW SE CONVIERTE EN UNA ESCALERA to climb the walls of the unfair PARA ESCALAR LOS MUROS DE LOS INJUSTOS and shout the truths that no one cares Y GRITARLE LAS VERDADES QUE A NADIE LE IMPORTA or everybody just forgot O TODO EL MUNDO SE OLVIDO what was the reason to be here LA RAZON POR LA CUAL ESTAMOS AQUI?

about

The idea of these recordings was to share the songs i´ve been writing after my recconection with my acoustic guitar passion. And this has all to do with my biggest influences in the Song Writing music world. Reading Keith Richards autobiography made me want to really get into open tunings and also find my own alternative tunings. Which i did actually in the song "I was leaving here¨ tuning down the first string half a step and using a capo in the 4th Fret which has all to do with learning Mark Knopfler´s songs from his album ¨Privateering". An album that i listened non-stop for years.I absolutely love it.
I would like to also mention Bruce Springsteen as one of my most important influences And some of this can be heard in the son "Love is more important than faith¨.
In this same list i should point out also Eric Clapton; The blues has always been a part of my musical history. My first band ever was a blues acoustic trio. In the song ¨You don`t have to give your soul away" i speak mainly about the myth that always sorrounded the blues: The Crossroad.
It would be unfair not to mention U2´s influence in my songwriting and The Edge in my electric guitar approach, specially in this record.
And last but not least, Sting. Who has also had a great impact in the way i write and compose.

A very special thank you to my Father. how can i be brief about someone that has given me so much? i´ll try.
I remember almost every moment we shared listening to music toghether.
The jazz albums he brought home from his trips to the U.S. and the Dylan´s cassettes. Those two somehow stand out. The Jazz because they showed me a high musical standard that i still did not achieve. And what to say about Dylan in the songwriting universe? You can find a reference to the song "Desolation Row" in the song ¨The way we can¨.
My father, probably without being aware of it, has influenced more than anyone into my becoming a songwriter. From the poems he wrote to the philosophical discussions we held for as long as i can remember, has had all to do with the man i am today. So thank you dad. I´ll remember the day you said to me - ¨you are an artist¨ for the rest of my life. I never really cared for titles. But his recognition in that sense is something that i would like to give back to him. If i am an artist it´s because that´s what you brought me up to be.
And a special word to my mother: Once i tried to show you my faith.
But you will always be the greatest example of love and i will carry that with me wherever i go. ¨Love is more importan than faith¨ is dedicated to both of my parents. It´s like a recap of many conversations we had in our lifetime.

I would also like to add that this whole album was created out of my desire to dedicate myself exclusively to playing music. A thing i wasn´t always able or willing to do.
I chose the title ¨Undercover poets¨ for the album because i wrote that song with all my musician friends in my heart. And that special family that i believe we all are part of. Almost all of my friends are unknown to the music buisness. They are undercover. But they are there. Making marks that although unseen or even erased, have had a huge impact in the learning about friendship and music that i was lucky enough to live by them. I dedicate this album to them also. You know who you are.
