I see you each morning your wings spread, and serious your eyes black as shoes I wonder each morning if ever you found, that light in the background hold still now, that's it can't you smile just a bit? I wonder each morning if ever you smiled if ever you flew away

my Christina takes me down deep into the sea in a whirlpool spinning 'round fishes at my feet feel her breath inside my head all the bells ring at once slowly, so slowly we are rising washed upon a distant shore face down in the sand spit me out a pearl tonight lost and found again smell the moonlight on the breeze all the world's tears flow into the sea slowly, so slowly we are rising

lyrics

with a needle and a candle a hundred tiny holes through a photograph of you and I hold it up to the candle at night your face, you look like the moon your face is smiling stars surround you above and below looks like you're waving to me I don't know if you're saying hello goodbye

about

From Steve Peters...I met Nacha Mendez ( Marghreta Cordero) in New York City in 1988, just before I moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico. She was from there and moved back a couple of years later, and we became neighbors. We began singing old folk tunes in Spanish and soon started writing our own songs, recording at home on an ancient 4-track reel-to-reel deck.

In 1992/93 we decided to re-record these songs in a real studio as a demo, to see if there was any interest in a whole album. There wasn't. But we still like these songs, and so do some other people, so we share them now with you.

This was pretty much my final attempt at doing anything like a "band." We only played live twice. I went back to doing my experimental thing and Marghreta became the fabulous Latin diva Nacha Mendez.

Recorded winter 1992/93 by Tim Stroh at Stepbridge Studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Nacha Mendez Santa Fe, New Mexico

Nacha's music is an expression of her curiosity, her varied experience and restless passion for living. It refuses to fit neatly into any one genre, fearlessly drawing on a wide range of influences to expand the definition of Latin music.
