Love Me In Spanish

America, is where you are
New York City, so very pretty
understand, it might get cold
but here I am, I'll warm your soul

Love me in Spanish
if the words aint right
baby dont panic,
I understand you
Oh yes I do
Si Senorita,
all you gotta do
is smile muy bonita
You got my whole heart
right from the start
love me in Spanish ooohhh

The Darkest eyes I've ever seen
Your silky hair, If I could dare
to stroke it out and pull you close
then you would know how my love goes

Love me in Spanish
if the words aint right
baby dont panic,
I understand you
Oh yes I do
Si Senorita,
all you gotta do
is smile muy bonita
You got my whole heart
right from the start
love me in Spanish ooohhh

I Know you're only visiting
and Venezuela wants you back
but this place wont be the same
you put the girls I've known to shame

Love me in Spanish
and if the words aint right
baby dont panic,
I understand you
Oh yes I do
Si Senorita,
all you gotta do
is smile muy bonita
You got my whole heart
right from the start
love me in Spanish, ooohhh

What the video might look like...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1udUXpG2f0&feature=youtu.be

Musically, it's not what I was expecting, I dig it....it surprised me. Where do you get this footage?......is this stuff randomly grabbed and placed in a rough context of what you think the visual outline would be?....or have you shot all or some of it?.....curious.

Musically it's a bossa nova. It's probably smooth jazz, but I guess I mixed it with pop and folk rock bits too. Different for me as well, lots of 9ths and elevenths.

I have a buddy who plays in restaraunts, i thought to myself, what if he wrote this, how would he do it. Thats how it came out

Video looks astonishlingly like it was made for this right? Im no pro at videos but I couldnt believe how well it fit.

I didnt film it, but cam across it, and im allowed to use it for non commercial purposes.

oh, and I added the heart and the time lapses.

yeah, it does fit really well.....that very thing happened to me lately, found some footage for "fly on" that fit so well it's creepy.

Oh with flying, there is alot of parachuting and flying videos around, all u need do is ask somebody if you could borrow part of it, they would prolly be more than willing.

Workin' on it.

OK found your song. Thought it was going to be more with Spanish lyrics, but this was an interesting idea. The tune is nice con ritmo latino and expresses a sentiment that we gringos often have about the ladies from South America . . . .
Gracias

Doug

Thanks Doug, I wasnt sure if you were Spanish or not.

I learned what I learned from former gf's. it's gotten rusty

Glad you enjoyed.

Bugsey--

This is pretty cool! I like it!

Mackie

Thanks Mack!

Nice groove.


Pat Hardy Lockwood

I really like the groove to this, Bugsey. Like the Bossa Nova and the lyric is a good match or vice versa.

Stevie

Bugsey,

This reminded me of late 60's/early 70's popular jazz. I haven't heard anything like this for awhile. I think you did a nice job with this! I was a little unsure however perhaps, that this bridge didn't leave this Latin bossa nova vibe slightly. I like bridges to digress, but to stay within the genre unless your song is more abstract--I'm not sure on this comment, just throwing it out for you to analyze.

Lyrically, I like this pretty well, but the one line "you got my heart from the very start," perhaps a little trite--I think you need to stay more "sexy" (especially) with a Latin song.

Very cool unique write here!

steady-eddie.

Thanks Stevie

Thanks Eddie. it's a bossa nova so I suppose however far that goes back, is how old it could sound. I dont think i would record it this way for real, would probably go more on the pop side.

I wanted the lyric to be simple, if the guy s talking to a woman who doesnt speak english....

It's laid back with a cool sound. The video is a good find, too.

Vic

Hello Bugsey,

I smiled all the way through this one, nice job.

Thanks for the spin Vic

Thanks cant beat that response!

Bugsey,

Very enjoyable song. It's been a lot of fun listening to all the different genres that have popped up today. It's a refreshing change of pace. My only thought was, and it's not a crit as much as a suggestion... Maybe actually sing one verse in Spanish? If you don't speak the language, maybe you could in list some help. Just a thought. Again, really enjoyed listening. Keep them coming!

Thanks Tom.

Thanks Tom.

yeah I can speak some spanish, took some in college and had a few latin american girlfriends. They usually are impressed to hear spanish coming out of my head lol

But that is interesting, use some spanish to get the message across, the thing is then any American guy listening in the shoes of the singer needs to know spanish too.
