If i was you 03:27
IF I WAS YOU I’ll be you tonight I’ll say hi to you Bye to you I’ll feel you inside I’ll be you deep blue Like the sea, nursing me And you’ll be wind thats right Becoming air pure life My lungs with love, your wife I’ll reach the stars tonight I’ll ask them where you are They say ‘just use your sight’ Just don’t see you, you are so far… They say ‘try with your heart Yes I know I should be smart I feel so weak though, and it so hard! Tomorrow the sun will rise Last dreams will make me wise And I’ll stay quiet looking at your eyes While you are smiling up the brighter skies

COME NEAR DARLING Come near darling And just kiss, kiss my hope Give me magic and power Beauty and golden flour To fulfill my such willing soul Outside I feel the breeze I’d just like it to be you So you’d hug me til I sneeze In the sky I see the sun I’d just like it to be you So you’d show me the nay to move further on I’d move much further I’d go far away far away At night I look at those shiny stars Oh dear I’d like them to be you So we’d make love And erase our heavy scars We’d make love We’d make love We’d make love all night long In the horizon I see my future God I’d like to be you So you’d join in being part of my nature You’d be me And I’d be you You I’d be me And I’d would be you We’d be together Together, forever So come near darling then And just kiss my hope Just give me magic and power Beauty and golden power To fulfill my such willing soul My souch willing soul, my….

Snow 06:51
SNOW Snow falling on my hair I was there I swear Holding my fear to see What would come up To break my lock Now the night, showing so unfair And I swear It’s there Holding my tears to see What has come up That made me stop And I’m cryng loud for rain To come here and wash my pain And just please take it far On the first train Now uncapable to share I was there I swear Holding friends near to see How love green up This, this cheered me up Now the light trying to be clear And I swear it’s there Holding dreams near to see How I reach the top, how I reach the top Now I’m screaming loud for rain To come here and wash my pain And just please take it far, take it far away All this pain for me And this grief so deep in me Baby claire, what happened there You’re no longer there for me Darling Ryan what can I do To stop myself from crying Oh baby, Ryan...

Dreamland 06:08
DREAMLAND Jilk in your hair And those kisses in your eyes Just like butterflies, how nice Oh dear, you broke my heart Milk with your words And that honey in your soul Oh darling just said that I wanted to hug you all So sweet, so sweet And I’ll go through the rain Then I’ll cross the pain Til I reach your plane And by then I’ll just faint Birds in your hand And that magic inside Standing weird and strange You, special one You are still my dreamland You are still my dreamland And so I should say that I’ve gone Through the rain now, shouldn’t That I’ve crossed the pain That I reached your plane, eventually But by then there was nobody around But you Standing in the back laughing Funny at me Crying funny lies Don’t worry darling I won’t Believe any of them Don’t worry darling Don’t worry honey I won’t believe any of that crap of yours Don’t worry honey Don’t worry baby I will only call you coward for it

MY DEAR LOVED GREEN PLACE Grey in the air Stay with me The rain paints you deep And the wind sees you sleep My dear loved green place Right inside you’re well hidden My dear loved old grace Can’t believe you’re forbidden And so please take my me back where we stayed And so please take me back when we said That anything was possible Tried to touch you with my fingers But I couldn’t reach your high I cried far too much Long’s been the winter Please, I cannot see you die And so please grey in the air Please let me be there For you rains just sounds so sweet And the wind calms down the heat in me

Rose 04:59
ROSE A Rose comes in Nothing in between But a Rose, so close Touch the sun, be one The moon will be your daughter And the sky will be your son The sea will be your mother And the father, tall and strong Sing your song along The music is your first cure And that’s where you belong It’ll take yourself to that shore And you’ll finnish what’s undone A Rose comes in Nothing in between But a Rose

HMAMA / THINGS TO SAY I’m weak and I wanna call you Although you don’t love me Although you don’t care I’m sad and I should maybe kill you Although I can’t hate you Although I’m not there to What’s wrong with you? You sit and lay on the couch all day Let me tell you that if you don’t try Life’s not gonna try for you And if I’m the perfect one, just as you said Who are you gonna love now, tell me? Who? I’m sick of you, so I’m coming to tell you That you shouldn’t have told me Those nice things you said And you know, I’m glad I don’t have to deal with you anymore But let me help you Just so you smile again, smile again, Jamil What’s wrong with you? You sit and lay on the couch all day Let me tell you that if you don’t try, Life’s not gonna try for you And if I’m the perfect one, just as you said Who are you gonna love now, tell me? Who? who’s next?

BLURED PICTURE OF YOU Dry my tears Uncapable to cry By far too tired to even try By now I just have and old blurred picture of you And nothing… See my fear When I cry for you Uncapable, too shy Don’t know what it was about you The way that we smiled the way that we The way that we might But now look at me Nothing like it was supposed to be That magic rests there Now, see if I care And I do care about you darling, Ryan And so come on over and hug me tigh When I might need you Uncapable to show you By far too tired and too weak to even know How to act with you By now I just have an old blurred picture of you And nothing and nothing And nothing seems to be true anymore and it’s so sore And I keep remembering the songs we sang These were the songs we used to love The way that we smiled, the way that we smiled The way that we might And so dry my tears when I think of you And so dry my tears when I think of you Just dry my tears when I think of you Dry my tears when I cry for you

Angel faced 05:01
ANGEL FACED Angel faced Your heart’s on fire Let it go, let it flow Show me your grace Your eyes are desire Let me know What’s inside, what it’s like And I’ll watch you Standing still, so still That your beauty is Just supreme, It’s just supreme I know you are to part But it’s alright Just go on easy, juts go on happy And I’ll be happy all the same for you But when I need you Please stand still And feel me inside with you And fill my inside with you And I’ll be watching you Standing still, so still That your beauty… Oh Angel faced! Oh Angel faced!

MEET YOU AT THE AIRPORT I’ve seen you today at the airport Standing still With your hair soft and wavy An instant has been more than enough For me to recognise you Once again Just like back then I love you and I know you I always shave Even before we met for the first time in Scottia bar I know you, I know you I know you well So I hope you see me one day at the airport Standing still With my hair black and navy Waving at you An instant should be more than enough For you to recognise me Once again Just like back then I love you and I know you I know the shine in your eyes And I know the tone of your skin I know the shape of your hands And I know the sound of your laughter And the sound of your voice So I sing for you Since you kissed my soul with yours You’ll understand one day, darling So when you do, so when you do Please come and meet me at the airport I’ll be waiting right there for you my love And I’ll be waiting, waiting, waiting For you my sweet, sweet darling And I’ll be right there, right there..just for you

about

Ten Thousand Islands La Garriga, Spain

Born almost by accident, TTI are brought to life the day that David Crespo, listen to recordings of Maria Monferrer, a self- taught singer who writes her songs. Not only like the intriguing and seductive voice of Maria.
David takes the skeletons written by Monferrer and start adding layers of skin to give a markedly different from the original sound to create their own life with his notes.
