Piensa En Mi

This song was recommended to me by someone on Youtube, which makes me feel very interactive and also, it's a beautiful song. So, I put on one of Ama's headbands and recorded it after practicing a little but maybe not quite enough. At first, I listened to recordings of the song by those kind of Mexican singers who sound and look like they are dying/weeping/wailing while they sing (I believe it's called passionate), and had some trouble even picking out the melody, but then my dear friend (I wish) Natalie LaFourcade came around with her version, which is clean and cool as a cucumber and super awesome, and I went from there. I am not sure about the headband still, though.

Esa Noche

Another Cafe Tacuba song because with Cafe Tacuba, I either love or hate their songs, which makes it pretty hard to sit down and listen to a whole album, but the experience comes with bright spots. The ones I like are usually throwback songs, like with oldey-timey guitars and harmonies. The ones I don't like are the noisy, abrasive ones, except for Ingrata. I like that one. I remember listening to that song really loud one time when I was driving through Paradise Valley with Spencer (and who else? Danni?) with the windows down, and it was magical fun!

Moves like Jagger

Isn't this kind of a funny song choice for me?! Well, there's a whole bunch of music in this world that I will never admit that I like. And this song is DEFINITELY one of it.

Hit The Road Jack

I don't know why I enjoy playing this song so much, but it's stayed in my song book for many years. It's just easy to play and sing, and simple and fun. It's sometimes kind of hard for me to think of songs to work on and record, and sometimes the more difficult songs that I have to practice for a long time need to be tempered by ones that take less effort. That's just one theory.
