Wow..what a hard hitting, relevant, and emotional song. Just wonderful to hear new music from you guys. Maria, your lyrics are always "a cut above" and your vocals just never sounded better. Paul's arrangement and playing are awesome. Loved the fingerpicked intro and the trem was just a killer touch. The soulful outro was a perfect wistful windup. Great dynamics as always and top shelf production. Still amazed, even after all these years...
I'm not sure there are too many "sports" more disgusting than "bullfighting". Not into hunting for the last 50 years but at least in hunting, the animal has a glimmer of hope. The bull however is doomed from the moment he enters the ring. I don't know how you get "into character" like you do Maria to get into the mind of the matador, but it seems you certainly have. You paint a dark picture..blood red and black. A musical picture of the reality of the "sport". So much emotion in this! Paul's arrangement captures the horror so very well...with crushing guitar work that at times equals the savagery of these events. You guys never candy coat anything. Excellent work on all counts!!
