Javier García Palacios I usually hear lots of music, and in my humble opinion, this is the best song I've heard throughout the year.
Difficult, even in Spanish, my mother language, to find the right words for what makes me feel. Absolute delight, pure poetry, I have heard it repeatedly as I climbed some peaks in the Pyrenees during this last Christmas.
Thank you for this wonder. You can be proud of this masterpiece.

lyrics

in the living room in the sitting room
i will wait for you in the hollow i have hewn
like a darkened glass or the devil’s past
and he is waiting fast to set his own trap too

and in a kinder way what did the spirit say?
what did the spirit do beneath the waning crescent moon?
when you were in the yard where you had worked so hard
with one thing to impart one secret said for you

you let the moth in and the loser win
and you have shaken him you shake you fight you move
a nude wrestler so come and wrestle her
and see the shaking turn to taking then to soothe

and in a kinder way what did the spirit say?
what did the spirit do beneath the waning crescent moon?
when you were in the yard where you had worked so hard
with one thing to impart one secret kept for you

i offered you you all for you
i offered you you all for you
all for you
