Description
Inspired by the Spring, I picked up my classical guitar and after dusting it, I revisited some of my earlier influences and wrote this song. It is a reflection on how things are never the way we remember them being and how we expect time to stand still when we part ways. When I got to the bridge, with its quasi-tango feel, I knew it wouldn't be complete without a flamenco guitar part. Ian Beardsley was the first person that came to mind, and fortunately for me (and you) he agreed to grace this song with an emotion-filled solo. I hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics
Si Piensas Regresar
Tiene diez años que te fuiste,
dejaste todo, te marchaste de aquí.
No queríamos decir adiós,
pero al agua hay que dejarla correr.
Si piensas regresar
debes saber que aquí
todo ha cambiado ya,
no es lo que un día fue.
Quizá pensaste que en tu ausencia
se detendría el tiempo sin vacilar.
Nunca imaginaste un día volver
y sentirte como extraño en tu hogar.
Si piensas regresar
debes saber que aquí
todo ha cambiado ya,
no es lo que un día fue.
Si piensas regresar,
recuerda que el reloj
tiene que camianr
y que no hay marcha atrás.
(TRANSLATION)
If Plan To Come Back
You've been gone for ten years now,
packed up and left it all behind.
We didn't want to ever say goodbye,
but a river always has to run.
If you plan to come back,
there's something you should know.
Everything has changed,
it's not what it once was.
You may have thought that in your absence
time would stand still without a doubt.
Never imagined you'd come back one day
only to feel like a stranger at home.
If you plan to come back,
there's something you should know.
Everything has changed,
it's not what it once was.
If you plan to come back,
remember that the clock
must keep on ticking
and that there's no going back.
Tiene diez años que te fuiste,
dejaste todo, te marchaste de aquí.
No queríamos decir adiós,
pero al agua hay que dejarla correr.
Si piensas regresar
debes saber que aquí
todo ha cambiado ya,
no es lo que un día fue.
Quizá pensaste que en tu ausencia
se detendría el tiempo sin vacilar.
Nunca imaginaste un día volver
y sentirte como extraño en tu hogar.
Si piensas regresar
debes saber que aquí
todo ha cambiado ya,
no es lo que un día fue.
Si piensas regresar,
recuerda que el reloj

y que no hay marcha atrás.

A very relaxing track you posted here. Feels like a (late) sunday morning after getting up while having an extensive breakfast. Very relaxing with a practiced choice of instruments ... at least perfectly produced. I liked it very much.
