A New Sound for A New Year

Well this is the first track off what is still an un-named second album. I wrote it and recorded it last week, mastered it today(12/14/2010) and am uploading it now. I like it a lot, I hope you do too. Look out for a video sometime soon too! The minimum for this track is 0, so enjoy the christmas gift!

lyrics

Hey yo Im pulling at your heart strings,
Ill pull em down just till your heart strains,
Then I Bring it back around just so you'll know,
Everything will just flow

Yo it's tough living these days
Brings back memories of yesteryears and yesterdays
days Before I was even born
days when depression was more than a term for the psychologically forlorn
I count my blessings everyday
Lady by my side standing like a rock come whatever may
My family south of south of the border down in Rio,
South of the Border in Mexico and east of the mississipi waters out on the east coast
I'm thankful for every second I get on this blessed earth,
I Try to live this life with the respect that it deserves,
Less like a race trying to see who comes out first,
More like playing Legos, just building shit to see what works

CHORUS

Driving marshmallow 20 hours a week to and from the hill, just to pay our bills,
Went to BPG, then PCC, then CBCB then Grassroots finally,
Just trying to make some sales, to get some sales,
Not to sell myself,
So maybe I can set sail,
and catch a tailwind out of this torrential downpour we've been living in

CHORUS

I Got the Higher learning you been yearning for
I went to school, ain't a fool
What you think I been learning for?
I Got a paper from Goddard College and it tells me
That I got the wide knowledge and the breadth, of fresh air
to wax critically about such complex concepts
as living life on the spectrum and theory in action, that's what we call praxis
I only preach what I practice,
and now I got the paper to back this,
So let me show where the action is
I play with such heartfelt passion it's almost nasty,
The way it pulls on your heart strings but still sounds so classy

CHORUS

about

Rafa's One Man Band Berkeley

Travelling between Americana and Brazuka, Rafa's One Man Band is comprised of one man, and many layers. From driving funk rhythms, to string heavy pop anthems Rafa manages to walk a fine line between ego and soul, digital and analogue, musicality and production.
The resulting sound is at times so reminiscent of a full band, that Rafa himself forgets that he has no bandmates.
