What A Lady 04:53
What a lady, what a lady She makes me hate and love her at the same time Yea she can make me Make me so mad And in a second she’ll wipe it all away with a smile It’s so wrong Yet so right The way she drives me so crazy without even trying What a lady what a lady She makes me hate and love her at the same time Sophisticated, so complicated So many things she can do with the look in her eyes It’s so wrong yet so right How I like that I hate the way i love the way she fights And I would like to thank you for The times we had Cuz even though It’s over now They were beautiful Like you What a lady what a lady She makes me hate and love her at the same time She’s the perfect imperfection She’s a sin you wouldn’t ever wana make right It’s so wrong yet so right Yea she’s the rightest wrong that has ever been mine And I wana thank you for the times we’ve had All our fears all our joy all the fights we’ve had Cuz it’s the good and the bad That makes it beautiful

A golden disc makes its way under the fading scarlet Above the jagged edges of the shadow giants While down below winding veins flow their way through the darkness And the trees, with ancient limbs, they pray in silence It was long ago that we could hear the silence We could taste the wind and feel the silver starlight We would shower in the early shades of sunrise And the trees, with ancient limbs, we prayed beside them Now we turn away from the sounds of silence We cover our eyes with glowing sheets of brightness We hide ourselves within flat and steel horizons And the trees with ancient limbs they pray in silence A golden disc makes its way under the fading scarlet Above the jagged edges of the shadow giants While down below winding veins flow their way through the darkness And the trees, with ancient limbs, they pray in silence

Different shades, different shades of skin Hide the same, they hide the same within We’re all a different shade but we’re made the same way We are one Around the world, many voices can be heard In foreign words, speaking all in foreign words So many different words, but the meaning is the same We are one We are one Stranger, I could be your brother We could live a different life Where we don’t ever have to fight So stranger, let me be your brother Let me stand by your side Forget the borderlines, forget the borderlines Different names, we pray to different names And different ways, we tell it all in different ways So many different ways, but the message is the same We are one We are one Stranger, I could be your brother We could live a different life Where we don’t ever have to fight So stranger, let me be your brother Let me stand by your side Forget the borderlines, forget the borderlines We are one

I took your picture off my wall And everything else seemed to fall I threw your picture in the flames And suddenly I felt the burning pain I don’t know why things have changed Cuz after all you’re just another face Yet here I am trying to turn the page But the thought of you just won’t go away Go away You left me with the memories Left me with my broken dreams You left me with the burning pain Flowing down my every vein Heads or tails one side has to fall I picked you and I lost it all And though I burned your picture frame The thought of you just won’t go away Go away Go away...

Unsaid 04:57
I know that words cannot be unsaid That memories are hard to leave behind, leave behind And fallen tears cannot be unshed But maybe we can still be alright, be alright I know regrets we have a hundred And broken promises, even more, even more But though our words cannot be unsaid Maybe we can try to let it go, just let it all go Forget about the things we ever did Pretend that all the things we ever said Can be unsaid And we can start again I know that words cannot be unsaid That memories are hard to leave behind, leave behind And fallen tears cannot be unshed But maybe we can still be alright, be alright Forget about the things we ever did Pretend that all the things we ever said Can be unsaid And we can start again

Not a day passes by That i don't have you on my mind No not a day not a day goes by That i don’t have you on my mind Take me to a time To when we were still alright Tell me we can still get by Or help me to forget, that you were mine Not a day passes by That your face doesn’t cross my mind No not a day not a day goes by That i don’t have you on my mind Take me to a time To when we were still alright Tell me we can still get by Or help me to forget, that you were mine

I’m staying in the shallow Wishing for tomorrow Waiting on the past to move on Looking in the shadows For a heart that I can borrow Cuz I don’t know Where mine has gone You threw it away, you threw it away And now you don’t want to let me go But I still want to stay I still want to stay I just don’t want to let you know I’m still picking up the pieces I’m still picking up the pieces You’re asking for forgiveness Begging me to listen But all your words just slip away Pain is my witness Sorrow is my illness You’re the only one I seem to blame You threw it away, you threw it away And now you don’t want to let me go But I still want to stay I still want to stay I just don’t want to let you know I’m still picking up the pieces Still picking up the pieces You threw it away, you threw it away But I still want to stay, I still want to stay You threw it away, you threw it away But I still want to stay I still want to stay I just don’t want you to know I’m still picking up the pieces I’m still picking up the pieces Still picking up the pieces I don’t want you to know, to know I just don’t want you to know I still love you I don’t want you to know, to know I just don’t want you to know I still love you I don’t want you to know, to know I just don’t want you to know I still love you I don’t want you to know, to know I just don’t want you to know I still love you I still love you

about

Fernando JM's self produced album is a fresh mix of pop/rock with a hint of classical, RnB, and electronic. His original compositions are a blend of many influences and several cultures. This album brings together aspects of raw music with technology, fuses more classical influences with modern ones, and it also brings back a sensitive side to music that is not often found now in today's overproduced industry; it's music with an old soul.
