Here We Are

Well, this is my first song written in 2010 and it's a happy one--for a change.  The words are below, and the message is pretty self-explanatory. As you all know, all my songs are written from personal experiences and this song was inspired by a falling out I had with a friend.  I hope that one day we can get back together to being friends.

Here We Are
©2010 Jesse Acosta  

Here we are two
Broken souls
The time is now to
Break some ground

We have grown apart
This is my fault
In my darkest times
I see your smile

There is still time to
Break these heavy fences
Break them down and
You will see that we are

Meant to be good friends
Don't shut it down
Meant to be good friends
This time around

In my time of need
You were there 
To listen my friend

This song is outside my comfort zone, it's a pop song which I in particular don't like, but I've always wanted to do something upbeat and radio-friendly.  Don't expect future songs to be like this one :)

P.S You can hear the song at Jesseacosta.com on my music player or on my Facebook Fan page.   

Happy New Year 2010

For those who are not on Facebook, here's a short film I made about our road trip to Boerne TX and Boerne City Lake. 

The End Is Near

I wrote most of this song about two years ago.  I've always had dreams of the end of the world, I'd be walking on the street and all of the sudden the sky would turn dark and everybody would have a scared look on their faces.  In some dreams, there are ships or UFOs flying by as everybody tries to find refuge.  Sometimes my dreams are about the rapture.  I wanted to write a song about that, and although the lyrics are few on this song, the music will hopefully give you the sense of the end of the world.  However, the end of world can be a metaphor so I'll leave this song to your interpretation. 

The song itself went though some changes.  From the first time I wrote it, I've recorded different versions, but this version is the one I'm most happy with.  You can hear the song by selecting it on my music player on Jesseacosta.com.   

The End Is Near

words and music by Jesse Acosta

Hold my hand and don't look back

The machines have flown away

This is not what I had planned

I thought I had it right

It's too late, here comes the cold

I'm sorry for your loss

Was that you or was that I

That said "there is no God"

Hope you like it.

~Jesse

El Aire (Translation)

Recently I wrote a song called "El Aire", which you can hear on my music player here at Jesseacosta.com. Here's the English translation for the English speaking community.

The Air

Words and Music Jesse Acosta

I feel that I can't see the wind

I feel that you're not longer here

I feel that you will never come back

Day and night will never be again

If time passes and I will see you

While you're not here what am I to do?

Daylight will embrace me

But night will terrorize me

I know you will return

my life will never be the same

Countdown to Vacation

El Aire

After a 3 month break from producing music, I wrote and produced this song. It was inspired by the passing of a dear friend of mine and a great man; his name was Jerry Salinas. The lyrics were written in Spanish.

Siento que el aire ya no se ve

Siento que tu ya no estas aquí

Siento que nunca jamas vendras

El dia y noche no volveran

Si el tiempo pasa y te vere

Mientras no estas que voy a hacer

La luz del dia me abrazará

Pero la noche me aterrará

Se que tu volveras

Mi vida ya no sera igual

Thankful

November is the month to be thankful. Therefore, today I'm thankful that I was blessed with brains rather than with looks.
