about

With the recent release of Hollow Days from the Gemstones mixtape, I started exploring the sounds of my home country (The Dominican Republic). While visiting my parents in Santo Domingo and spending time in the countryside of San Cristobal where my grandmother grew up, I made a rework of a song called Broken Horses. It is the next phase for me. American songwriting mixed with the guitars and güiras of bachata music that are signature to the Dominican Republic. With love, I present Broken Horses.

Anything went when we walked through the night    
Kicking up dust cause wanna be frightnin'
Everyone watched when we walked in the room 
kickin' up rust cause they want to be close to you 

Everyone stops in the light
Looking at me like they wanna be fightin'
Throwin' up hands like there's nothing to do  
Openin' arms cause they wanna be right with you 

Who you gonna love like that 
Who they gonna love like that 
No one 
Not even themselves
Not even themselves

Hey love 
I can’t be your ride home 
I won’t be the only one 
Who comes running back 
Maybe you’ll find another type 
Maybe she’s alright tonight   
Maybe he’s too drunk to drive you   
I won’t be your broken horses

You wanna be the talk of the town but your still not living
You wanna race to my car but your still not in it
You wanna drive the boulevards with your hair all down
You wanna be the loudest voice with a guarded sound

Who you gonna love like that 
Who you gonna love like that 
No one 
Not even yourself
Not even yourself

Hey love 
I can’t be your ride home 
I won’t be the only one 
Who comes running back 
Maybe you’ll find another type 
Maybe she’s alright tonight   
Maybe he’s too drunk to drive you   
I won’t be your broken horses
Hey love 
I can’t be your ride home 
I won’t be the only one 
Who comes running back 
Maybe you’ll find another type 
Maybe she’s alright tonight   
Maybe he’s too drunk to drive you   
I won’t be your broken horses

Nevermind what I find is true, yeah yeah
In the end, I slept on you, yeah yeah
Who am I gonna love like that
Who am I gonna love like that
No one 
Not even myself
Not even myself
Not even myself
Hey love 
I can’t be your ride home 
I won’t be the only one 
Who comes running back 
Maybe you’ll find another type 
Maybe she’s alright tonight   
Maybe he’s too drunk to drive you   
I won’t be your broken horses
Hey love 
I can’t be your ride home 
I won’t be the only one 
Who comes running back 
Maybe you’ll find another type 
Maybe she’s alright tonight   
Maybe he’s too drunk to drive you   
I won’t be your broken horses
