Spanish Harlem Harem
The bass guitar
Playing in their pulse
Hypnotizing the air
Forgetting who you are
Go ahead
Get lost
Turn into their slaves
Go ahead
Get lost
Follow the satin waves
Take a trip
Towards bronze bricks
With jailbird lips
You want to kiss
Beautiful women
Never behaving
Beautiful women
Always sunbathing
Once shy
Now feeling like gold
But why
Cause you sold your soul
Got what ya want
Go ahead tell them
Found your
Spanish Harlem Harem
Playing in their pulse
Hypnotizing the air
Forgetting who you are
Go ahead
Get lost
Turn into their slaves
Go ahead
Get lost
Follow the satin waves
Take a trip
Towards bronze bricks
With jailbird lips
You want to kiss
Beautiful women
Never behaving
Beautiful women
Always sunbathing
Once shy
Now feeling like gold
But why
Cause you sold your soul
Got what ya want
Go ahead tell them
Found your
Spanish Harlem Harem

Yep. LOL
Love the scene you got from this!! hahahaha
Got lots of floral prints as clothes. My closet is not
boring. I remember when visiting my Abuella - she would
let me sneak in a few puffs of her cigarllos when
she would sew me dresses. That is the only person who could
put my mom in her place. Too funny.

Not far from where I live but still a million miles away as the crow flies....
You've painted a vivid picture with non-stop verve and vibe.
You're in your magic world Adel, a mighty fine place to be.
Now I want some candied yams and a pitcher full of spiced rum drinks and turn that damn thumping music UP
BIG LIKE

Hey PS.
The opening of the song gave me that vibe with the bass.
Lots of sex appeal and the bronze color just shined
in my mind. Walking around in seductive dresses not looking too innocent with heavy mischief eyeliner. hahahaha
Thanks for the RL and stopping by amigo:)

Re. Spanish Harlem Harem
Perfection, pure and simple! I'm loving it! You definitely have a way with words and this one is proof of that. May we have more from you in your magic words? It's magic, I agree with PS.

easy,
smoke filled
blues called out
high pitched and mellow
the wallow
carrying
attune to our heart
whiskey spills from her eyelids
transversed from a future
strapped to my stares
the music mesmorized
englassed, rewound
excitement without end

Hi NG!!
So happy to see your beautiful face on my page:)
I heard the opening of this song - with the bass - I was
transported there. When I get that spark from a song
I keep it on loop and start writing.
I'm obsessed with this song!!! hahaha
Thinking about all of my friends I grew up
with always in trouble and at the pool. LOL

I love the thump of bass guitar. Bass players don't get the glory. But without that thump, a band sounds like a cheap radio.
And your lyrical output here keeps with that depth. Where the soul gets pushed into the grooves of the city.
Nice beat. Awesome lyrics!

Hi Styx:)
I totally agree about bass guitarists. It gives
rhythm and makes you bob your head right.
Before you know it the rest of you starts
grooving in tune with the song.
For me the world disappears - the switch is flipped - and I go somewhere else:)
Thanks for your snaps on my lyrics buddy:)
Hope you're having a great Saturday!!

Hey Relic:)
Right, kept bobbing my head while writing. LOL
Okay, Relic cards on the table - do you have a band.
Guitar - drums? I think it is so awesome that you are musically
inclined. You know I hear drummers are trouble. hahahaha
Like to hit things and stuff.
The silver man reminds me of David Bowie in a way.
Thank you for the RL and commenting.
So excited I got a drummer friend!!!!

Hoi hoi
All the possibilities of a lovely song.
Bet you don’t need The Neighbourhood’s thumping.
You can do it all by yourself.
Let someone make the backing track and sing it with all the breath you can muster.
It’ll be just wonderful, believe me!
Like it a lot!
Kind regards, Gus

I'm a writer at heart:) Love the escape of it.
But the fact that you gave me a two thumbs
up on this means the world amigo:)

Nowadays no one has to perform if that person doesn’t want to.
I have a friend. She only sings, but does that very good. Some friend (or even on YouTube) make backings for her. A backing is the mix of instruments that plays the sound to sing to.
She uses Smule to be able to fit her words in the music and the smart phone’s microphone to sing in.
Or ask around among your friends for someone who has a small bed room recording studio.
If you want to hear what that sounds like, check out @FaithMairee’s (DUP) song called loving me.
In general:
Count to 4 and get kicking.
Instant happiness.
Why not give it a try?

Finding fulfillment in ruin, as my good friend KristinaX said it in another poem.
Enjoyed the easy lyricism.

our make-up. Hahahaha

Wow, that first stanza totally pulled me in. I want to go dancing now. "Playing in their pulse, Hypnotizing the air, Forgetting who you are" That is so perfect, when the music really takes you and in his hands you spin and push your body against his, oh yes feeling it pulsating. Becoming slaves to the music, song, and each other. Satin waves softly moving through you in a rough pattern. 'Never behaving' lol, yes that's about the extent of it. Giving him what he wants, perhaps a harem for two. So perfect... Agree with what everyone else said, you are perfection. Your words are so vivid, you can always see them materialize in the most gorgeous ways.

Hey Chica:)
You totally got it. hahahaha.
Yes, music has power - at least for me it does.
Loved dancing with partners who could match my
steps when we would go to dances.
Mostly Quineaneras. When I got older we would go
cruising on main street. Good times!!!

Ah, your Latina hot blood pulsating in rhythm with the guitar. The men slack jawed as they lustfully gaze at the beauty and grace you display. The motions, curves and sway in harmony. The sexual energy so strong it could charge the phones in their pockets.
You and your lady friends dance together with passion and pride for yourselves and each other. The “vida” of the community!
