Harmony from POPTRÓPICO by La Vanda
The second half of this song features me testing out mic'ing drums in my room for the first time. I just started banging away to a basic backbeat and added some acoustic guitars. I also added ukuleles to give it a more tropical vibe. The first half of this song started as a soothing melody for my girlfriend. She always explained to me how hard it was for her to trust other people after all she had gone through and I felt it was a universal theme. We all struggle to trust each other, love each other and work together, but we must.

Lyrics
She can’t take it anymore
her son drives alone on these roads
but they can’t take it anymore
they will never do as they’re told
and I can’t take it anymore
everyone i know grows old
how can she know
everyone takes, everyone makes
they can’t stop thinking about it
Control
they can’t stop thinking about it
that violence in their soul
they can’t stop thinking about it
can we buy it all?
they can’t stop thinking about it
I can’t take it anymore
i just feel the world as it turns
and she can’t take it anymore
she cannot be bought or sold
but they can’t take it anymore
love is love that’s what i’m for
but how can we grow
everyone takes everyone makes
how can she know
everyone takes everyone makes
they can’t stop thinking about it
Control
they can’t stop thinking about it
that violence in their soul
they can’t stop thinking about it
can we buy it all?
they can’t stop thinking about it
Part II The Message
it’s to gain control
this generation fights with its soul
my people have a right to grow old
