ALL AROUND IS UP

Preparing a play in my old High School (/I was working then in Conil) in those days

....and seventeen years after....I came back to write a song in english language.
Why Did I in that moment?.
I don't know, perhaps It was springtime, perhaps in the end I was adult...hahaha...I don't know.
A melody was flying on my head and I thought ..."All around is up"...I was then 39 (in a few days 40) perhaps It was...
With this song I began a new album called "First of the class" (it's not an egocentric title,I hope be the first of a new state of albums and feelings).
The song is ,like always, in soundclick player.


20/04/2004 ALL AROUND IS UP A.BARO

Tell me baby, what is in your mind
All around is up
Tell me baby when I say you why
You’re my pretty girl
‘cos I love you, ‘cos I hold you
Tell me baby, what is in your mind
All around is up

Look at me, babe, when I open my eyes
Then I open my heart
I shaked baby, when I saw your smile
Can you feel it now?
‘cos I love you, ‘cos I hold you
Tell me baby, what is in your mind
All around is up.

I’ll tell you, pretty darling, I love you so
I can promise you, baby, I can’t forget you at all

Baby ,baby , when you smile at me
A little blow of air
Baby ,baby, you’re my lover being
You’re so tender and dear
So I love you, so I hold you
Baby ,baby , when you smile at me
You are all for me

Music

I’ll tell you, pretty darling, I love you so
I can promise you, baby, I can’t forget you at all

Tell me baby, what is in your mind
All around is up
Tell me baby when I say you why
You’re my pretty girl
‘cos I love you, ‘cos I hold you
Tell me baby, what is in your mind
All around is up


All around is up

OUR WORLD

My work place in 1987


During 1987 and next years (until 2004 I only wrote one song IN ENGLISH).It was before my daughter was born.It told about how I wanted the world was.
I had seventeen years withou writing a word in english...why?...Well, I wrote only a few songs more in spanish but my time was occupied for another questions ....Mainly I was a father...It was (and today it is) the most important thing in my life.



12/05/1987 OUR WORLD A.BARO

And our World is turning on
Under the Great Unknown
And a brotherhood of souls
So young so old
And all there’s love.

It’s the sun our radiant star
It gives us life
And the moon is shining
There’s not a cloud
In the night.

And we can get nobody
Changes our world
Changes our world
I wanna feel it on me
And we don’t let anybody
Changes our world
Changes our world
Drowning in
A lake of tears

Our world is painted in blue
Oceans feel in you
And from the bottom I can hear
Somebody sings the serenade of the sea
On the wet earth I can see
Their land so free
And the trees let pleased you see the leaves
I can feel the freedom’s breeze

And we can get nobody
Changes our world
Changes our world
I wanna feel it on me
And we don’t let anybody
Changes our chance
Changes our world
Drowning in
A lake of tears

I PRETENDED TO SEE YOU CRYING

In those days , I usually wrote in spanish but sometimes I composed in english.

In May,the fifth, I composed this song to talk about my feelings after an absurd dispute.

It's a simple song like sometimes I like to write.

05/05/1986 I PRETENDED TO SEE YOU CRYING A.BARO

I pretended to see you crying

and It was that made me hurt

I pretended to see you , baby

but it was a vision

I pretended to see you running

and I tried to follow you flying

I pretended to see you crying

so I love you.

I never thought the thing I told you

it could make, of course, this pain

I never thought that you

love me so

I pretended to tell you loving

that my heart's still rolling

I pretended to kiss you loving

yes , I love you.

I never wanted to make you crying

and you know that is true

I always wanted to make you happy

and now I saw you sad and blue

and that's not, and that's not.

OUT OF THE LINE

Two songs from "Life is fun"



18/03/1986 SAY I WANT YOU A.BARO

You must say you feel inside your heart
you must break with the fear
you must think, oh boy, you are not a child
say that she wants to hear.

Say I want you ...ooooo That's not so hard
Say I want you ...ooooo I know she'll understand
Say I want you ...ooooo She knows it can be true
but she wants to hear it...to you.

Look at her eyes, it seems she wants to cry
don't let , boy, that it happens
go to her, and try to draw a smile
Come on, boy! What's the matter?

Say I want you ...ooooo That's not so hard
Say I want you ...ooooo I know she'll understand
Say I want you ...ooooo She knows it can be true
but she wants to hear it...to you.

Music

Say I want you ...ooooo That's not so hard

22/03/1986 OUT OF THE LINE A.BARO

It's so hard to find the road that brings you at home
when you've walked around the world
from one to another part.

It's so hard to talk to a blind man
how is the color of the sky
It's so beautiful can give him for a moment your sight.

It's so sad to have no place where you can go , brother
It's so sad that you can't give a kiss to your mother

It's so sad to see your neighbours
how they passed in front your side
and it seems you don't exist or you're clear like a glass.

It's so easy for the rich man
and of course, the mighty too
and it's easy for the man that he's not sorrow
It's so bussy for the laggard
to get don't be late at once
and It's easy to stay out of the line.

It's so cold in wintertime
if you're far from your home
and the city lights don't say to you anymore and you're alone

And the snow it's cover the valley
and the birds stay cuddled in their nests
and seeing that scene you feel glad like the first

It's so wonderful and nice if you can get back at home
and you can see your mother
and her hand daubed of flour

and you feel on your face her warm kiss
and above all the family home hot
and in the end you can say
“Thanks for all this,Lord!”

t's so easy for the rich man
and of course, the mighty too
and it's easy for the man that he's not sorrow
It's so bussy for the laggard
to get don't be late at once
and It's easy to stay out of the line.

LONELY AND HAIRY

Two songs from "Life is fun"..,first about a country singer, second one words by Paco Rubio and music of mine....I hope you like them


25/02/1986 LONELY AND HAIRY A.BARO

Lonely and hairy over the sidewalk
play guitar and sing a blue sad song
with his broken voice and looking for
someone never finishes to come.

Music flows across the hot air
running across the streets of the town
trying for a minute , trying to send
a message to someone will never understand

Play your sad songs
sing your feelings
speak of that love
that was breaking your heart
and so it's reeling.

Lonely and hairy under the bridge
depth of water even into his bones
he doesn't sing how yesterday to peace
he doesn't think it remains too much love

Music

Play your sad songs
sing your feelings
speak of that love
that was breaking your heart
and so it's reeling.

Lonely and hairy over the sidewalk
play guitar and sing a blue sad song
with his broken voice and looking for
someone never finishes to come.

lay your sad songs
sing your feelings
speak of that love
that was breaking your heart
and so it's reeling.


Letra- 26/02/1980 (A GOLDEN CROWN) ON THE HEAD OF THE BUTTERFLY F.RUBIO
Música-25/02/1986 A.BARO


It has been a long time ago
since the world was to me a paradise
and this was because I found Love
something which nobody can describe
mixtury of fantasy and illusions
a new life was born to me oh
clarity, hope and submission.
That was me two and a half years ago

Two and a half years ago
a third of september I kissed so
she looked happy, I felt transported into a calm sea
inside which joy and happiness rested
my eyes suddenly dazzled
so that nothing material could I see
the soft waves of that lively main
could my ears only hear.

I believe in the utopian harmony
the first time my lips touched hers
I was not me, but them
my heart was blowing up inside her
yet they were smooth, caressing
like the penetrating marine breeze
I couldn't even feel a touch
but her lips and the squeeze

Two and a half years ago
a third of september I kissed so
she looked happy, I felt transported into a calm sea
inside which joy and happiness rested
my eyes suddenly dazzled
so that nothing material could I see
the soft waves of that lively main
could my ears only hear.

Yes, a calm sea indeed
an ebbing tide of fulfulling
an inner universe of unbound sensations
the only beats were feelings:
a damp and blue void
words had no place there
atoms of fine dust above
there was no ground, hey.

Two and a half years ago
a third of september I kissed so
she looked happy, I felt transported into a calm sea
inside which joy and happiness rested
my eyes suddenly dazzled
so that nothing material could I see
the soft waves of that lively main
could my ears only hear.

Only a no-ends infiniteness
yet, little by little , it died
the golden crown on the head of the butterfly.

COLOR OF MEN AND GENESIS

A couple of songs,first one about the color of men.It's very single,even simple.Today I would write in another way but in 1986 it's was me.
Second, words by my friend Paco Rubio and music of mine...I hope you enjoy.....

11/02/1986 COLOR OF MEN A.BARO

Why's the white man destroying harmony?
Why's the black man staying under his feet?
Indian man was erased from the face of the world.

Why's the white man having every luxury?
Why's the black man dying in misery?
And the Red Skin Man was erased from the face of the world.

And the yellow man was cloistered in their mysticism
while the white man plays his role well
the black man's only considered in music and rythm
and the Indian man was erased from the face of the world.

Why's the white man losing time stupidly?
Why's not the black man shaking dominion totality?
So Indian Man was erased from the face of the world.

Music

And the yellow man was cloistered in their mysticism
while the white man plays his role well

Why's the white man destroying harmony?

Indian man was erased from the face of the world.

19/02/1986 GENESIS F.RUBIO-A.BARO

There she had her being built
there she came into being
there out of one flesh
her tiny limbs started to
give her the perfect human shape.

Everything had been hollow darkness before
It had to be the fathomless wisdom of nature
there she cast a spark of living light
there the light started shining abright
though greater was there the darkness.

It was a light that shines
without realizing
that it is growing bright
it was a far-away glow
in the quiet shallow night.

It was the unconquered spark of life
(struggling always struggling) (2nd voice)
against the overwhelming overlasting
innermost darkness
and they keep on and on struggling
till in the end light fades
though darkness still remains.

It's nature itself which sprang up from darkness
the ever-bearing darkness which created the little light
there she came into being
there radiant grew the light
impregnated with eternal darkness

It was a light that shines
without realizing
that it is growing bright
it was a far-away glow
in the quiet shallow night.

And it became fully strong and alive
but never as strong though ever as alive
as the dark vault which embedded all her brightness
which rocked her on keep on her unaware
of her unique life
which from darkness itself shines.

MANY STARRY NIGHTS

Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh


Until june,86 , I didn't write another english song.
The album (who includes The Girl of my life and Life is fun) was called Life is fun.This was my fifth english album.
These are third and fourth song.
Many starry nights was written by my friend Paco Rubio , I only did music.

20/06/1985 I'M A CRAZY MAN A.BARO

I'm a crazy man

inside a crazy tank

and I don't know

how to sail

I'm a silly song

nobody told me more

and I had to discover it

all alone.

So when I look for you in my destiny

my body's shaking

and my heart's leaping

so when I look in your eyes

my mind's turning around

and I'm going down.

I'm an old story

of the silvered glory

from a dark dream

you will never see.

Music

So when I look for you in my destiny

my body's shaking

and my heart's leaping

so when I look in your eyes

my mind's turning around

and I'm going down.

21/01/1986 MANY STARRY NIGHTS F.RUBIO-A.BARO

Moon shines bright up

as the threshold of the universe

shiny dots on a dark vault

we seem tiny flocks of ants

with two dominant poles above

the east and the west

facing each other.

We'll be rejected, I positively know

although there will always remain the hopes

of many starry nights.

Shaking hands in front of us

hiding behind the threat of black doom

they both seem ridiculous

compared to the gorgeous overwhelming

magnificence of unknown worlds beyond

ours looks an invisible speck within

the hugeness of starry dust

we're nothing but mere-now cancerous- cell

within the perfect body of an

everlasting harmonious mesh

We'll be rejected, I positively know

although there will always remain the hopes

of many starry nights.

Music

We'll be rejected, I positively know

although there will always remain the hopes

of many starry nights.

Walking in the street

kicking a dirty tin

nothing to do

and my soul under my feet

and the lights of the town

painting my shadow on the wall

and on the horizon you appeared

then I ran but you escaped from me

and I felt so bad

and my heart and my head are flowing on.

Now I'm shouting I need somebody

and my heart wants to give love

and now I'm shouting I need a loving

I haven't got to find her now

that's you oo babe the girl I only saw once

you're the best, my christmas present so nice

and now I'm shouting

the girl of my life is you.

I followed my way

seeking for you in the world

and the crowd's hiding your face

I don't know what I can do

I feel so tired and blue

'cos you're not there.

Music

Now I'm shouting I need somebody

and my heart wants to give love

and my head and my heart come back living

Now I'm shouting I need somebody
