I've been here for so long With my dreams and all my songs Everybody looks the same You boys and girls have been tamed I take a walk by the park You know everybody looks so well in the dark Yes I want her back Oh I want her back As the river sings a song As the trees go along She wants you to take Her way As the river sings a song As the trees go along She wants you to take Her way She makes me feel so good Oh in the morning When everybody sleeps We are exploring And I want her back Oh I want her back She wants, she wants, she wants you She wants, she wants, she wants you She wants, she wants, she wants you She wants, she wants, she As the river sings a song As the trees go along She wants you to take Her way As the river sings a song As the trees go along She wants you to take Her way

Veera 04:58
But then you realise Follow all these guys Master in disguise Spit on other guys And then you'll realise They still love you Hide in the skies I've done it for a while But if it was for Veera I'd run another mile And they still love you And they still love you You match all my mind Speaking about crime On my mind On my mind They still love you You go and tell all the people You go and tell all the people You go and tell all the people You go and tell all the people You go and tell all your friends About what Veera did Veera just nodded her head And said that she was not there You go and tell all your friends About all the things she said Veera isn't very mad She's just not quite like you Follow all these guys Master in disguise Spit on other guys And then you'll realise They still love you Hide in the skies I've done it for a while But if it was for Veera I'd run another mile And they still love you And they still love you You go and tell all your friends About what Veera did Veera just nodded her head And said that she was not there You go and tell all your friends About all the things she said To you, she said, she said Veera isn't very mad She's just not quite like you

Feeling tired to wake up in the morning And she's with another man Feeling tired to keep sitting in the rain While they all get a tan Feeling tired to talk with all your friends But nobody really gives a damn Feeling tired that all these things you know Tomorrow will happen again Oh honey Honey Why don't you come with us? Feeling tired that they Talk, and talk, and talk, and talk And talk, and talk, and talk, and talk And talk, and talk, and talk And make fun of you Feeling tired that is sunny outside And you have (And you'll have) So much things to do Oh honey Why don't you come with (Us)? I wanna hold your hand I wanna be your friend I wanna run outside I wanna dream at night I wanna hold your hand I wanna be your friend I wanna run outside I wanna dream at night Hollywood is not for you (Baby) That's what they say (Baby) Why don't you come with us (Baby) They are all so grey (Baby) Honey bunny I love you so much And your dazzled eyes (Baby) I want you by my side (Baby) Every single day of my life (Baby) I go at night with my twinkle yellow misery You guys keep trying but still can't get to me Ahh Hollywood is not for you Oh, that's what they say Why don't you come with us They're all so grey Oh honey Why don't you come with (Us)? I wanna hold your hand I wanna be your friend I wanna run outside I wanna dream at night I wanna hold your hand I wanna be your friend I wanna run outside I wanna stay up all night

Dear Ruby, have you seen the sun shine? Dear Ruby, have you seen a love like mine? Dear Ruby, come a sing a song for two Dear Ruby, life is just a bear wearing a tutu You wake up to sleep, and go on repeat. There’s love, hope, and dreams And I love your blue jeans. She’s worried all the time She never sleeps at night She's constantly on my mind I'll be sitting here drinking She’s worried all the time, She never sleeps at night, She's constantly on my mind I'll be sitting here drinking Dear Ruby, why you always have your feet on the ground Dear Ruby, don’t fool yourself There is no safe and sound Dear Ruby, come see the birds and the bees Dear Ruby, oh wait I forgot the keys She’s worried all the time, She never sleeps at night, She's constantly on my mind I'll be sitting here drinking She’s worried all the time, She never sleeps at night, She's constantly on my mind I'll be sitting here drinking She’s worried all the time, She never sleeps at night, She's constantly on my mind I'll be sitting here drinking She’s worried all the time, She never sleeps at night, She's constantly on my mind I'll be sitting here drinking Drinking, drinking, drinking Drinking, drinking, drinking Drinking

A Picture 04:26
We’d love to tell you a little story About a married man And the girl whose eyes float down Deep down you know Not quite what she’s saying there But you’ll see, oh yes, you’ll see Deep down you know she’s right The perfect measure for How I think of her Is two squalid years Full of deception and illusion And this scent of a dulcet handcrafted heart Made of cotton, full of the scent And a picture of me in my bed Smiling all the time to you It’s what I see, and you, and me And a picture of me in my bed Smiling all the time to you It’s what I see, and you, and me (Then again) And then again Mr. Simon please know love was right And it was for awhile They said ‘hold on to that’ And between those fields And the Spanish eyes And these bright blue eyes (She’s so right) Deep down you know she’s right The perfect measure for How I think of her Is two squalid years Full of deception and illusion And this scent of a dulcet handcrafted heart Made of cotton full of the scent of you And a picture of me in my bed Smiling all the time to you It’s what I see, and you, and me And a picture of me in my bed Smiling all the time to you It’s what I see, and you, and me Fold the mess, and everything will pass Fold the mess, and everything will pass

Circles 04:50
I had a fight with my dad He said I didn't care But that's not so fair, you know? Love can be so strange I know we'll never change But I just don't care you know Sometimes you don't get what you want Sometimes you don't get what you want I've been feeling this world so shallow, so grey (So shallow, so grey, so shallow) I have found myself so shallow, so grey (So shallow, so grey, so shallow) Sometimes you don't get what you want Sometimes you don't get what you want Ahh, Ahh, Ahh You say 'drop the attitude' I say 'I'm not in the mood' We're going back in circles I say 'drop the attitude' You say you're not in the mood We're going back in circles Sometimes you don't get what you want Sometimes you don't get what you want I'm leaving this face at my own pace I'm leaving this face at my own pace I'm leaving this face at my own pace I'm leaving this face at my own pace I'm leaving this face at my own pace I'm leaving this face at my own pace I'm leaving this face at my own pace I'm leaving this face at my own pace Ahh, Ahh, Ahh I wanna die, I don't wanna die

about

Grand Sun's debut LP, 'Sal Y Amore' is a sonic trip to the band's chaotic mind. While debuting their first bunch of songs (with the EP 'The Plastic People of The Universe', in 2018) they play just enough around their country, in festivals and concert halls, to find out that close contact with people is what they really want and need. This record is a caustic spice in a timeless party, where the band doesn't have any reservation of showing themselves as they want: intense and festive.

The LP's opener, 'River' is a drone-ey wave waiting for the clash, that happens with 'She Wants You', a sludgy garage rock song in the ways of MBV meeting Alice in Chains. From the late-70's hip tune 'Palo Santo' to the delicate storytelling of 'A Picture' and the post-punk attire on 'Feeling Tired' and Circles', the band refers to the whole experience of growing up together, the existential fear and all the breakdowns. They talk about a contrast between innocent and idyllic love and a more mature type of relationships, hence the salt.

This record draws inspiration from cult acts such as The Velvet Underground, The Zombies, Wire, The Rain Parade or Pavement and recent ones like Omni, Parquet Courts, King Gizzard & Lizzard Wizzard, and Beach Fossils.

Without salt, there is no love.
