SONGBOOK SKETCHBOOK
- PERSONAL PROJECT
- ONGOING
I've always struggled to express my feelings through words. Even as a kid, when I wanted to become a writer or scriptwriter, I would be lost trying to find the words to best describe my characters and their dilemmas. That’s why I’ve always admired Songwriters who are able to convey such specific feelings and experiences in just a couple lines: Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, the HAIM sisters, are just a few of them.
“Sketchbook Songbook” is an ongoing series of Illustrations rooted in song lyrics that I related to at a specific time. This Songbook thus acts both as a personal Diary and a Playlist of moments.
Now I wanna sell my house
And set fire to all my clothes
And hire a priest to come and
Exorcise my demons
Old habits die screaming
I always wished that I could find
Someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot
That I was special too
I didn’t know if you’d care if I came back
And maybe I don't quite know what to say
But I'm here in your doorway
Las flores de Mayo poco a poco cederán
A las patas de gallo
Cuida que el rincón de siempre
Permanezca reservado
Rose flowing with your chosen family
And it would’ve been sweet
If it could’ve been me
Cruz de navajas por una mujer
Brillos mortales despuntan al alba
Sangres que tiñen de malva el amanecer
Y yo que buscaba siempre las llamas contigo
Ahora ardo por ti como un pagano
Ayúdame y te habré ayudado
Que hoy he soñado en otra vida
En otro mundo, pero a tu lado
