One I may have shared or not. I don't remember. But just a little song I wrote and recorded in 2006 called El Encanto. Was just experimenting with a little Spanish at the time and of course, as is always the case with my own music, just doing my own thing and having a little bit of fun.
For all the new bleeding ears out there, I offer earplugs at a discounted rate with discount code "Help me please."
Let me know if you need any. lol

Thank you. Glad you liked it. I remember writing the arpeggiated riff and then building the song around it, which is often how it happens—even though chord progressions are usually where things start. Haunting is a good way of putting it. It FELT like it had a Spanish slant to it and so I decided to write the lyrics in Spanish and went from there.
I was actually surprised a little bit that the riff worked considering it is essentially Am to Dm. Usually you'd go to a simple D. But it did drop the Am into Asus2 and the Dm into a Dsus2, which is not at all ucommon.
Not a masterpiece, but I was happy with it.

I don't remember hearing that one before. I like the music it reminds me of when I listened to hard rock back in the seventies. I don't know Spanish so can't appreciate that part.

@lovebuglena Yeah, it's one of those lyrics I think a lot of people can probably relate to.
