Wow this is my 100th Record here on Hitrecord and I am already a lil bit over a year part of this community! And with this little record I just wanna say THANK YOU to everybody on this site simply because I love it here! This community is so full of incredibly creative, inspiring and nice people. I am amazed how everybody is treating each other with so much respect and care! I am currently trying to figure out what I really wanna do and I know I am still far from being a real artist but you showed me where I wanna go and what I would like to achieve! So thank you for that and thank you for every heart that pushed my self confidence a little higher =) and thank you for this awesome art, songs, videos, papercuts, illustrations and so on that amaze me and put a little smile on my lips every day :D!!!  

Yours Stephanie <3

this is based upon "Chestnut" by Christopher Harn. Although it took a much darker route and I totally didn't capture the fun of Christopher's brilliant story. Maybe someone can remix it into something good :)

Inspired by a recent trip to Frida Kahlo's house, "La Casa Azul"

I would love if someone could add some very gentle, Latin rhythms to this..maybe some guitar as well?

En La Casa Azul // In The Blue House

Encuentro palabras // I find words

En las cenizas // In the ashes

De un viejo valor // Of an old strength

En la Casa Azul // In The Blue House

En los rincones perdidos // In the forgotten corners

En los libros y las flores // In the books and in the flowers

En la cama y las pinturas // In the bed and in the paintings

Encontre su amor // I found her love

Ay ay ay, chiquita // Ay ay ay, little girl

Con tus alas de tersiopelo // With your velvet wings

Y las rosas en tu anima // And the roses in your soul

Olvidate de tus lagrimas // Forget your tears

Inspired by Gaby's collab!

I grew up with stories of La Llorona, and thought I could record a couple of verses of this traditional song. It's kinda creepy and sad, it could do with some instruments, maybe some more voices?

Here are the lyrics:

No sé que tienen las flores Llorona,

Las flores del camposanto,

Que cuando las mueve el viento,

Llorona, Parece que están llorando.

Ay! de mí Llorona, Llorona,

Tu eres mi xunca 

Me quitarán de quererte,

Llorona, Pero olvidarte nunca.

A un santo Cristo de fierro, Llorona,

Mis penas le conté yo,

¿Cuáles no serían mis penas, Llorona?

Que el santo Cristo lloró.

Ay de mí, Llorona.

Llorona de un campo lirio,

El que no sabe de amores, Llorona,

No sabe lo que es martirio.
