Letras/Lyrics to "Novia De Soldado"

This is a song I wrote with one of my best friends, Bárbara Matas, from Chile.
We also made the video for the song together during my trip down south back in January.

"NOVIA DE SOLDADO"

PORQUE SOLA TE ESPERO, PERAS PARA QUIEN ESPERA
GUINDAS PARA LAS LINDAS, Y ARMADA DE PACIENCIA

OOOH

ESPERO COMO UNA PERA, QUE UNA NOCHE CUALQUIERA
PASES A BUSCARME, PARA LLEVARME AL CINE
O FESTEJAR, MI VIDA, EL FIN DE TANTA GUERRA Y TANTA VIDA PERDIDA
O FESTEJAR, MI VIDA, EL FIN DE TANTA GUERRA Y TANTA VIDA PERDIDA

PORQUE LLEGARA EL DIA
(TU ERES EL QUE QUIERO)

CUANDO VUELVAS TU SANO, NUNCA MAS SOLDADO
TU ESTARAS A MI LADO, PAZ Y AMOR ES LO QUE QUIERO
PARA MI AMOR, Y PARA MI, PARA MI MADRE, Y MI PAIS,
PARA LOS HIJOS DE TODOS AQUI, PARA LOS HIJOS DE LOS DE ALLI

Y ARMADITA DE PACIENCIA, YO SOY LA REINA DE LA CIENCIA
Y ARMADITA DE PACIENCIA, YO SOY LA REINA DE LA CIENCIA

PORQUE LLEGARA EL DIA
(TU ERES EL QUE QUIERO)

song of the day! "Paper Chase" by Ayana John

You bitchin' about money lately? Me too and this track is my new theme song to make sure I'm keeping on top of my budget.
Not really the "making of" this song but, more like hanging out with cool people and their thoughts on this song.


here's a live version of the song, not a great recording but you'll hear how good this song is!!! DAMN, I LOVE IT! Go Barbados!

artist of the week! YACHT

YACHT - Summer Song from Jona Bechtolt on Vimeo.

YACHT's new album just came out today and it's super good!

Above is the original clip from the movie that the video is based on. Euro-Pop by Devo!
Watch both videos at the same time in synch!

tony, tony manero!

i am proud to say that chile has produced a different and original film. but my chilena pride can not mask the lukewarm response i had to it. i liked it, i did but, felt like only ONE emotion was being reflected by the characters in this film.
in the movie they call the main character "lifeless" but, that doesn't mean you have to make me feel like i'm watching an almost dead man's heart rate indicator. one long straight line beeping one tone all the way through until you get 3 or 4 instances of rapid beeps to remind you that you are still alive. but, i did like the film, just wished it would have had more vida in it. solo un poquitito más de vida.but that's what we chilenos did not have during pinochet's regime. maybe that's what the director was getting at.

frequencia mod soundtrack was awesome! when i was a kid, i wanted to be them.
check them out y'all! from disco to folklore!
