A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.

You are leaving
Hearing this for the first time, I thought it had to have been written for burlesque shows. From the teasing vox and woozy horns, you'd never suspect that the song is all heartache and melodrama - "come back soon, my breath is going away." Especially if you don't speak Spanish. As much as I love the groove, that disconnect is actually my favorite thing about this song. That and the weird sourness in the intro.
We are not in it for the money. Songblague runs on communitarian values, love of music, and a dash of vanity. If you like what you're hearing, please purchase it from one of the remaining retailers who would like to sell it to you.
