Default When the shadows become longer

Hi everybody, summer is hot, Life is mad and we are... making music.

I want to introduce you to Mora Amaro La Loba, a spanish singer/song-writer, poet and writer.
I love her work (in spanish, english and french) because I find it very original, delicate and beautiful.
Today I want to share this vid titled "When the shadows become longer".
A nostalgic song with emotive lyrics that each time I listen to, makes me yearn the valleys she talks about.




Here are the lyrics.

When the shadows become longer

"Talking to the moon behind the window
while the Life sleeps
and the ghosts dream covered by the quiet shadows
of the lost valleys hidden in any corner,
in any silence, and the loneliness chases
all the steps that in the distance look for their way"

I hope you will enjoy it! Be well.

Really enjoyed the presentation, the evocative, stripped down style really works well with the video.

She has a beautiful voice. The backing vocals were subtle and sensitively done. Nice guitar sound. All in all, the trance-like feel of the arrangement is very effective.

The drums would benefit from some tweaking (volume automation and timing) to make them sound less artificial. But that's just me.
