julio 22 - alan lili

it takes courage to share an unshielded heart. you really gotta trust it's strength. ive been in bands for years but had never released music under my own name. it felt safer to do it with other people.

this is the first song i've ever released as alan lili. i wrote and produced it with no monikers, no costume, just me. i love it very much because it expresses the forces that shaped me: mexican cumbia, the beatles, the poetry of rumi, guitar solos.

ive always wanted to create a song that could be played at mexican weddings: the unabashed joy of dancing and celebrating love.

to anyone who collects this: I will sing an acoustic version of the song over the phone to someone you love. or I will make a personalized acoustic recording of it for them. either way, someone you love will be very pleased with you ;)

this song is dedicated to a muse. i hope it inspires you to see someone you love as a living miracle. viva la musica.
