Rider's Song (Cordoba)

from Hourglass by Howard Gladstone

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Howard Gladstone's 2017 Release, Hourglass, on Compact Disc.

    Howard Gladstone on vocals and acoustic guitar is joined by Laura Fernandez on vocals, Tony Quarrington on guitar, George Koller on bass, and Great Bob Scott on drums (4 tracks). The album was recorded in high resolution audio to ensure studio quality sound is available to the listener.

    Focused intently on crafting powerful lyrics, and aiming to find their perfect union with melody, arrangement and musical accompaniment, Gladstone created songs that reflect a quiet despair, but are matched by hope-driven optimism. An early reviews states” Hourglass flows with flourishes of insight and romantic imagery” *

    Gladstone is no stranger to these ideas, since experiencing a sudden onset of spinal stenosis in 2014 that resulted in debilitating spinal surgery. At first he was totally paralyzed and completely immobile. It was a very gradual recovery, but after three years, he emerged with a greater passion, a higher level of commitment and inspiration, and a deeper understanding of the healing power of art and music.


    “You may be shattered like the hourglass,
    Grains of sand on dying grass,
    Winds rage and howl at your battered soul,
    Deep inside something keeps you whole"

about

“Rider’s Song (Cordoba),”adapted from a work by Spanish poet and playwright Frederico Garcia Lorca, a flamenco treatment for a song about a rider carrying olives on the deadly road to Cordoba. Highlighted here is another entrancing vocal by Fernandez, and lovely harmonies with Gladstone; while Tony Quarrington‘s guitar solo sparkles intently.

lyrics

Jet-black mare, full round moon
Olives in my saddlebag
Although I know the road so well
I shall not
I shall not
I shall not
Get to Cordoba

Through the plain, though the wind
Jet black mare, full round moon
Death is gazing down upon me
Down down down
From the towers of Cordoba

Por el llano, por el viento
Jaca negra luna roja
La muerte me esta mirando
Desde, desde, desde
Las torres de Cordoba

Ah, the road so dark and so long
Ah, my mare so tired, so brave
Death is waiting there for me
Before before before
I get to Cordoba

Jet-black mare, full round moon
Olives in my saddlebag
Although I know the road so well
I shall not
I shall not
I shall not
Get to Cordoba

Death is gazing down upon me
Down down down
From the towers of Cordoba
