Gone 04:30
Wake up, my dear It’s time to see the sky is dark again My skin is crawling, crawling As it did, Before You went under the sea again But the sea is gone The sea is gone Gone away Wait up It’s clear I now have to feel in my heart again My skin is crawling, crawling As it did Before I lost my will to live again For my feelings are gone

Stoned Girl 04:02
Stay Turn off the lights It’s just you and me, now baby Just you and me Lie on your bed And close your eyes I’m in your veins, now baby I’m in your brain Lie down and feel yourself go You’re on your own Stoned girl Wait Don’t go too fast We’ve got all the time now The night is ours Breathe Let me be your master You know I’m the only one Who brings you peace Lie down and feel yourself go You’re on your own Stoned girl

Beside Me 05:28
For a long time I just couldn’t see What was in front of me Forever I have shut my eyes From monsters and flies Were they only my lies? If you walk beside me We’ll walk and never fall If you decide to trust me I’ll always answer your call Asylum: then I called your name I needed your shelter And when I came You were someone else Trapped in your own vision If you walk beside me We’ll walk and never fall If you decide to trust me I’ll always answer your call Share the light So I can find my path In the darkness Share your light So I can find my way To you If you walk beside me We’ll walk and never fall If you decide to trust me I’ll always answer your call

It’s a brand-new day To keep on trying Despite the rain Despite the pain I’ll be fighting I’ve got a brand-new way To keep on living Despite my rage Despite my age I’m still rising For I know I’m not alone Cause you’re here with me Yes, you’re here with me Life’s no child’s play It’s about surviving Going through the motions Avoiding commotions And yet be thriving For I know I’m not alone Cause you’re here with me Yes, you’re here with me

Poison 05:38
Maybe we'll meet again When we're slightly older Maybe we'll see again The face of an old lover I'll be right for you You'll be right for me But not now I am chaos to your thoughts As you're poison to my heart Maybe we'll fall in love again With a perfect stranger Maybe we'll live again In the eyes of a new lover I haven't been good to you You haven't been good to me I am chaos to your thoughts As you're poison to my heart I am chaos to your thoughts As you are poison It'd have been better to run away But I didn't know what she had in mind We’ll be together today But I didn't know what she had in mind It'd have been better to run away But I didn't know what she had in mind I am chaos to your thoughts As you're poison to my heart I am chaos to your thoughts As you are poison

Sunshine 03:12
Today is the day I am born I’m free from your hate and your scorn You won’t get my sunshine I’ve finally realized what to do I’ve finally realized what I am to do You won’t get my sunshine It’s just one of these days When I run You won’t get my sunshine
7.
First time I saw you It's as if I already knew you First time I touched you I knew I could only love you You stole my heart You stole my mind My sweet Virginia Nothing was easy You acted like you didn't know me Been waiting for a gesture That you never gave me You stole my heart You stole my mind My sweet Virginia
8.
Elephantine 04:08
Sometimes I feel elephantine None of it's real, it's all in my mind And I remember myself If only I could peel off my skin & go blind It's the sole call I'll heed, I'll leave you behind And I remember myself (It's the curse) The curse of never forgetting (It's the curse) The curse of always remembering (It's the curse) The curse of always loving (Loving those) who never love you back Sometimes I feel Elephantine

See through me See through my husk Talk to me From dawn to dusk We'll burn brighter than the sun Alabanza por el dios de los olvidados 6 o'clock, Sunday morning She gets up, she didn't sleep at night She stares at the mirror Some face stares back. She says: "We"ll burn, brighter than the sun." Alabanza por el dios de los olvidados He who is lost will be found again He who is loved will be home again He who has died he will live again He who has loved he will burn again Alabanza por el dios de los olvidados

about

Brighter than the Sun is a very personal record and contains, by far, the most optimistic songs I've ever written, and also some of the darkest.
My influences range from 90s alt rock to folk and dream pop, and I tried my best to create an album that would explore as many musical atmospheres as possible, just like in the albums of artists I love and admire.
