Picks, Lyrics, Riffs...somewhere in time
















Hello there,

Sunday night, 10:00 p.m...
My weekend has been very relaxing and inspired in many ways ...I got more lyrics done for 'The Hill' and I'm very proud with the results so far. Right now I feel my writing skills improving each time I sat at the monitor screen - I like to write lyrics at the CPU with all internet favourites opened for references. All song titles have been inspired on internet resources so we can start considering this album has a product of the cyber world from the very beginning...

It's been quite a challenge to make high quality lyrics supporting our concepts compared to our previous albums, but, I've been preparing myself for quite sometime by reading a lot from books, magazines or newspapers...on my trip to London I got time to buy some books that would work as "investigation material" as well as inspiring from the artistic point of view; that gave me a lot of insight and confidence to simply...let it flow:)

I've been delaying the following part of the post due to the amount of work I have with (for) Forgotten, my guitar studies as well as my classical guitar teaching. But I wanted to mention it here since 5th December 07, a few minutes after our opening show for Fish and now it's the ideal time for it.

Forgotten Suns have been collecting fans for quite sometime, we have also collected some other type of listeners, though some are worth of mention and once again (I've done him reference here after our Santiago Alquimista show on September 06 with his mobile photos) I would like to thank Peter 'Pine' Pinheiro for his honesty, friendship and support and also for the gift he sent me - a Somewhere Else' Steve Rothery's blue pick.
After our first show at Aula Magna I remember to throw him my pick while we were leaving the stage so I believe this is some sort of kind reply, thank you Pedro - Steve Rothery is the super melodic guitar player and one of my biggest musical root references as you know...

Since I received it from Rita(my wife) after we left the stage and since we didn't saw each other since then...here are the pics and some photos of myself while writing at home with my 6th string Bo-El.

all the best
