Lyrics Idle as it seemed, trudging through the mist Following the creeks, erasing dim lines on the list Eager to arrive, leaving footprints in the clay Reading rocks and vines, telling indigo from grey Telling indigo from grey Scattered rays of light, on dust grains in the air All berries in the tree, earn a steady flare Among the mirrors of the scene, Some appear frail and incomplete In a vast field of bales she runs From the deepest valley past the sun Opening up the vault to find spinning tops in play Embedded nested yarn diverting from the gates But once the faint elusive moans evaporate in the morning light All deserted yearnings come to life Surface from the dark to realize How in a vast field she runs From the deepest valley past the sun All this time, witness to the changing tides All the while, finding ways how to make sense of all the lights To shape the winds, to shape the currents And the rigid hives we're living in All this time, witness to the changing tides Idle as a wave moving out at sea Cruising without sound, molding what's to be Serene between the trails Serene with the time and ink of a ghost
your first time listening to it you kinda feel reluctant but once it's attached to a really life changing movie or game, you'll definitely never look at the same song ever again... waiting for this to happen in the meantime listening to your new songs Jose
Amazing. Really beatiful. It looks like he is doing some type of Biodanza (an artistic dance we do in South America). When i did biodanza, i felt incredibly free when it finished. Congratulations, the best music video i've seen in a long time.
I just read in an article Silvio Rodriguez had been an influence in your music. I didn't know your work until now, and I totally see the influence. It is like listening to Silvio in English. The melody, the guitar harmony style, the voices, the tone... and still, modern, wow.
Heart beats, tocou num episódio da série "New Amsterdam" e eu nem conhecia você. Algumas músicas lembram Paul Simon e Garfunkel. Aí, meu coração disse sim. Quero ouvir mais. Sou seu fã, aqui no Brasil. Amei.
José, sos un genio. Descubrí tu música hace aproximadamente dos años, y en ese instante supe que había encontrado una joya. Te mando un abrazo grande y te agradezco por tu contribución. Santiago.
José's clips could be sooooo much better if he weren't involved with this modern artists. This song is clearly someone walking slowly in some beach, thinking about life, remembering his errors, feeling a little bit sorry, but as the sun rises he regains a sense of purpose. In the chorus he literally watch the tides but also sees how things have changed in his life independently of his choices. Seems too clichê? Fair enough, do whatever you want other than some random guy shaking as if he is convulsing
I love this song- it's my favorite of all José's music. I don't feel the video matches the song in any way. The dancing is more like a convulsion, not the poetic expression it should be. It's painful to watch.
New single "El Invento" out now!

I love all your songs Jose and I'm always happy to hear a new one!
Lyrics
Idle as it seemed, trudging through the mist
Following the creeks, erasing dim lines on the list
Eager to arrive, leaving footprints in the clay
Reading rocks and vines, telling indigo from grey
Telling indigo from grey
Scattered rays of light, on dust grains in the air
All berries in the tree, earn a steady flare
Among the mirrors of the scene,
Some appear frail and incomplete
In a vast field of bales she runs
From the deepest valley past the sun
Opening up the vault to find spinning tops in play
Embedded nested yarn diverting from the gates
But once the faint elusive moans evaporate in the morning light
All deserted yearnings come to life
Surface from the dark to realize
How in a vast field she runs
From the deepest valley past the sun
All this time, witness to the changing tides
All the while, finding ways how to make sense of all the lights
To shape the winds, to shape the currents
And the rigid hives we're living in
All this time, witness to the changing tides
Idle as a wave moving out at sea
Cruising without sound, molding what's to be
Serene between the trails
Serene with the time and ink of a ghost

Loved his music for years, seen him in concert four times including with Junip, and can't wait to see what he will produce next. Beautiful artistry.

Marcelo Krapf Wow.. I did it too! Biodanza (or Biodança in Brazil) is a thing that changed how I see the world around me.
You are so meticulous about your music... heart felt! Thank you for sharing!
Dude is awesome, many thanks to him for all great feelings his music gives.

Exacto!
This purity fills my soul! X
Love the song and beautiful lyrics. For the video I was imagining something more English folklore with its eerie vibe idk 🤷♂️.

Woman.
I don't get it why the cameraman is so obsessed with the drapes that he doesn't even get the subject completely in the shot.
Is anyone here because they seem him perform this song on James Corden, I am the only one?
here of life is strange...
videos dead random!
Great song. The video? Not so much.
In the meanwhile im surviving a serie of teroristic attacks. In nederland.
Jose Gonzalez. Great artist great album. Great song. But the video.. awful. Sorry.
