The gentle finess of Marcos' playing presents a warmness that can comfort anyones soul, tame the wildest beasts and put your mind at ease. No matter what else is going on around you, watching and hearing this song is akin to a journey into an alternate reality where all that matters is blissful enjoyment and appreciation for the talent of this world class musician. This song encapsulates a top tier level of beauty in songwriting and an unsurpassed level of skill in one fell swoop.
To articulate such a high level of technicality without compromising emotion and soul is quite hard to do, but not for Marcos Mena. I hope you are as moved by this piece as I am. I look forward to May 28th when Marcos' band Standards release thier first album. Enjoy! (all underlined words are links)
