After certain time in the park, thinking about the way cameras recreate our hearts, the clouds began to take the form of the sea. Coldness? waves brought the small sound of the forgotten ships of our hearts; their sails were made of drops that disappear behind the gentle sun. With the steam, each word of the wind was transformed into a delicate manner of touch the time. In the last moment, everything disappeared with the sound of a girl whose eyes were made of red leaves.
It seems that autumn doesn?t have an end but the heart still wants to pick up some memories of winter.
In this episode those desires get certain form but ephemerally and with some nostalgia.

Behind every sound it?s a sort of sigh that makes me thing in the reciprocity of words. Sometimes making the podcast I pay specially attention to the rhythms and so, but in days like today, when the streets are windy and I?m overcome by the perfection of Fennesz the only thing that matters seems to be the emotion, the delicacy of the notes, the way they evoke the gentles gestures.
Today?s program has a small lack of order but it?s just a method of acting. Enjoy it.

I spent Saturday night in the street waiting for a taxi to take me to the hospital because my lungs were making sounds. The cold was benevolent and the chilly atmosphere makes me feel better. It seems that to my heart, and to my lungs, the best cure is an empty boulevard and the tender breeze of late hours. The solitude of two persons sitting in a hospital?s bench is a nice image to portrait my days. A kind solitude filled with words of future.
While traveling across empty Paris in the backset I remembered a lot of songs, a lot of books. It was like painting pictures in the streetlights; recreating old days to forget the pain and the fear.
At the end I get better because of the night but I wasn?t able to make the program on time.
After the dread, here?s the new episode, two days later and still cuffing, but ready to be listened.

Waiting for a miracle is a profession without profit. You can linger for ages for that amazing moment that will change you common days, that will repair you eyes. You can wait in silence a life, just looking at the way, waiting for that car to stop. And you know, deep in your heart, that there?s everything but a car. However, when you are tired, when the options of success are worst than zero. Then, behind the night, appears the miracle that you were longing for, and it?s exactly as you have expected: simple and natural. You smile; you, perhaps, say some ridicule words and everything begins to have sense. This miracle is not other but a hand combing you hair. The same thing happens with songs; they emerge to catch your heart in certain moments without reason, without logic. They give you breath.
With this episode Arroz Amargo gets two years. It has been a long and beautiful road and to celebrate it next Sunday I?ll chose one song of each episode and make a sort of special show. Making this podcast has been amazing, to select the songs, to try to give them a sense is just beautiful. I have to thank you everyone who listen, you are great.

The sun has gone but we have the rain. Each morning the clouds that preside over the horizon bring a beautiful rain that produce a mood of peace that freezes the thoughts. The slender rain touches the hands as if it were trying to stay in the skin forever. It works as the memory; it hits you hastily and it stays there for a while but, as the time goes by, it disappears in streets and shops. It wouldn?t stay in your face or in your clothes; it?s like that smile in the subway or the gentle half-kissed in the pub: brief.
The rain makes me keep in mind that the hands were someday together but nothing remains the same but for a second. As these songs; they could mean a lot in the morning but in the afternoon they will be just sounds but a least for a moment they will be a kind of word.

Autumn suits Arroz Amargo. By my window the rain hasn?t stop since morning and while I drink coffee these tunes create certain comfort that makes me want to stay indoors until spring. To be inside is a way to discover the rhythm of the wind, to find the details of the house and the small spots in the wall; those tiny universes that contain, perhaps, words and memories. This season is the time for drinking in petit comité and chat about those old seconds when her face was close making us happy. The rain is the perfect background for enjoy this selection.

Walking in the airport I?m thinking in the smiles I left behind, in those beautiful nights that I spent with the people I love. And suddenly, running across the alley, a song arrives. It has been a good time since I captured it the middle of the day with some fingers across my hair, with the warm of a kiss in the mouth -they were big hands closing my eyes. The tune makes me see the growing grass in the field and some words drop in the shade.
And I just think it will be better to remember you with melodies, I don?t like the illogical drama of nostalgia; I prefer taking words with me to create an airplane and fly each gloomy day. I really will miss the streets of my city but the passers by of my house come with me in songs. This episode, the first recorded in Lille, is for those of you who were there ?in the midnight haze, in the sunny shade, in the boring classroom- each song is a piece of memory. (There?s a silence in the podcast but it?s not a mistake)

Aparentemente partir es un deporte extremo; lograr superar los trámites, la intermitencia de la lógica y los baches económicos lo dejan a uno exhausto y sin tiempo para vivir. Pero siempre existe un resquicio entre el traslado de la materia, en la disyuntiva de pensar el paso siguiente, que permite tranquilizar las horas. Pero no hay nada mejor que un poco de música suave para tomar un café a la orilla de estrés, en el descanso de la burocracia.
En este episodio no hay estridencia, ni ritmos mortales, sólo un poco de alegría melancólica. Pronto estaré en otra lengua y pensar lento lo hace más simple todo.

Hay días en los que las horas son demasiado breves, en los que los pequeños minutos de tranquilidad en el sofá se vuelven un oasis con las melodías como sombra. Así he vivido las últimas semanas y en esos momentos de calma las guitarras eléctricas han sido muy buenas aliadas para no claudicar. Por eso el episodio de hoy está marcado por un poco de estridencia. Nada de que temer, sólo un poco de distorsión como mecanismo de defensa.
Debido a las inclemencias del clima esta emisión de Arroz Amargo expresa mi deseo de correr a lo Forrest Gump, sin parar, hasta ver un bello horizonte. Espero que el vértigo del día no los aleje demasiado.
