Wound In The Night -Gabriel Moreno- [M0dJVaPx6U6]
WOUND IN THE NIGHT Artist: Gabriel Moreno Album: Wound In The Night (Poetry Mondays Records 2023) Release Date: June 4th 2023 Tune code: 553727GT ‘Wound In The Night’ is the second single and title song from Gabriel Moreno’s fifth studio album ‘Wound In the Night.’ The Gibraltarian-born poet and singer-songwriter conceived the track on the day he heard about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The song is a protest song against the avarice and imbecility of power-hungry tyrants but also a cry of hope for more peaceful times to come. The single and the album ‘Wound In the Night’ was arranged and produced by Michael Collins (Allo Darlin’), Gabriel Moreno and Ned Cartwright (Heartworn Highways). Vintage instruments and analogue gear were used to create a ghost-likeTaberna-Folk sound where musical genres as diverse as Latin American troubadour music and Anglo-Saxon alternative/folk come together to accompany the lyric-based tales. The bass is played by Billy McGee who has arranged tracks for distinguished artists such as Nick Cave. The whole album was mastered by Erik Wofford who recorded Bill Callahan’s masterpiece, ‘Dream River.’ LYRICS Pass me the bottle and look to my eyes Let’s tear down the curtain and speak of our times. There’s a crack in the skin of hope and belief Perhaps if we talk we can see what it is. The trees, the trees are breathing despair 'coz some fools drilled holes in the air And it’s raining in Kyev but nothing is wet for what falls on the heads of women and men are the tears of a world torn by our greed and our lies. AHA there’s a wound in the night AHA the moon is covered in wine AHA but the candle’s alight, won't stay for a while, let's imagine a sign. Tell me your fortunes and tell me your curse, days are like knives when you plunge into yourself. There’s a war in the West there’s a war in East and only the rich have got tickets to flee. The winds, the winds are stuck in the graves and the ghosts they are praying for change. We know it will come but before we are done can we toast to the ones who were broken and shun by the hammer of hearts prone to the greed and the lies! AHA there’s a wound in the night AHA the moon is covered in wine AHA but the candle’s alight, won't you stay for a while, let's imagine a sign.
