Cruel Thief of Nostalgia

Tango
About
A haunting tango driven by the bandoneon's mournful cries over syncopated rhythms, with legato strings swelling into dramatic crescendos and rubato tempo that mirrors the ebb of passionate memories. Intimate acoustic orchestral arrangement featuring violin, piano, double bass, and cello evokes the sensual ache of a bygone lover. Male vocals deliver raw emotion in a chamber-style production peaking in the Golden Age tradition.
Lyrics
remember me in the glow of what was your breath on my neck the fire we caused skin still remembers the curve of your thighs nights we surrendered no reason no why fingers tracing secrets we dared not speak pulse quicken and slow in the heat we seek lost in the tangle of limbs and desire desire every moment burned brighter than fire nostalgia you cruel and tender thief stealing my present granting no relief back to your arms where the passion would rise melting my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life dawn would creep in but we chase it away the laughter and sighs in the light of the day your voice like a storm pulling me under thunder of heartbeats no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decay nostalgia you cruel and tender thief stealing my present granting no relief back to your arms where the passion would rise melting my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life no chance to surrender now i'm empty the space is where you used to lay of pleasure that never decaying my sorrow in those hungry eyes oh the longing it twists like a knife bring back the lover who owned my life
