  • day 7: Desaparecido

    Desaparecido by Manu Chao

    The first time I heard this album was probably the first day in New Mexico, the first day working on the gig where I met my wife. I loved it. Manu Chao’s music reminds of those weeks, those months, our early days together. There’s other music that might be more specifically romantic to us, but there’s no other music that we listened to as much at the beginning of our romance.

    Just try to get some feelings out, literally while the kids are brushing their teeth, running late to get them to bed. Three whole chords in this one. The translation(s) around the internet are… not great, but this one seems close.
