This afternoon I bumped into Nuno's new track, July. I liked it alot and asked him if I could play with it. He gave me His Blessing and here's the result. Lyrics include an ugly English translation.

Er is een man
Hij staart uit het raam
Gooit zijn asbak leeg
neemt een laatste slok
Dan dooft hij het licht
en zit zachtjes in de stoel
En kijkt naar de foto
Die er al lang niet meer is
Er is een man
Hij huilt alleen
Omdat hij niet
zonder jouw kan (2x)
Dan staat hij op
Loopt zachtjes de trap omhoog
Ligt in het grote bed
Kijkt naar het plafond
En ziet de foto
Er is een man
Hij huilt alleen
Omdat hij niet
zonder jouw kan (2x)

Photo
There is a man
he stares out the window
Empties the ashtray
Finishes his drink
He then dims the light
And sits quietly in the chair
He watches the photo
That hasn't been there in ages
There is a man
Who cries alone
Because he can't be
Without you (2x)
He stands up
and walks quietly up the stairs
Lies in the empty bed
He Stares at the ceiling
And sees the photo
There is a man
Who cries alone
Because he can't be
Without you (2x)
This is why this forum is the best guitar forum in the universe.
And we're competing with other worlds!

It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
Really gorgeous. :)

Heartbreaking. I feel the song. I was the man once. Very, very well done.

Speak for yourself. :evil:
Ignar, that was way nice. You guys are too cool for school, as they say here. The Nuno & Ignar band. What will you two call it?

"I wonder if a composer ever intentionally composed a piece that was physically impossible to play and stuck it away to be found years later after his death, knowing it would forever drive perfectionist musicians crazy." - George Carlin
:shock: Wow! That is just great! Great job guys! 8)

"The only way I know that guarantees no mistakes is not to play and that's simply not an option". David Hodge
genius. taste. I am floored by the restraint and beauty.

guitarnoise Grammy time for sure.
Thanks people. I still don't know what it is but Nuno's track really seemed to write itself into this. If memories could be sold mine would be on ebay tomorrow.
