Tango

About

A passionate tango driven by the soulful accordion-like cries of the bandoneon, intertwined with syncopated rhythms and lush legato strings that swell into a dramatic crescendo. Rubato tempo infuses the melody with emotional rubato phrasing, capturing the intense melancholy of lovers defying social class barriers in a chamber-style acoustic orchestral arrangement. Dynamic swells and intimate accents evoke the dramatic intensity of Buenos Aires' Golden Age.

Lyrics

In the hush of crowded shadows heartbeats alone A silent call towering spires pierce the endless sky Mights at a rush by never meeting eyes I wander paths where foots fade chasing warmth In the chill parade, within the chill parade Every corner holds a ghost of you Oh, this city steals my breath away Loneliness dances in the fray Arms ache for me Where a lover's sway Passion burns, but slips through the gray Hold me close, don't let me stray In this urban night, we fade today Rain-slicked stones reflect my sigh Lovers link arms, I pass them by Desire coils like a hidden flame Yearning for touch that bears There's no name Windows glow with lives entwined Mine a flicker left behind Slow the pulse, feel the pull inside Sensual ache that I can't hide One glance could shatter this divide Come unravel me Turn the tide Oh, this city steals my breath away Loneliness dances in the fray Arms ache for a lover's sway Passion burns, but slips through the gray Hold me close, don't let me stray In this urban night, we fade today Rain-slicked stones reflect my sigh Lovers link arms, I pass them by Lovers link arms, I pass them by One glance could shatter this divide Hold me close, don't let me stay Rain-slicked stones reflect my sigh Lovers link arms, I pass them by Sensual ache that I can't hide One glance could shatter this divide One glance could shatter this divide One glance could shatter this divide One glance could shatter this divide One glance could shatter this divide One glance could shatter this divide One glance could shatter this divide One glance could shatter this divide One glance could shatter this divide
