My name is Javier Alcalde. Arcanda is the name I use when I record my songs. Some years ago I had a band called like that and I even recorded an album for a local company. I have just recorded a self-produced album called "Esta es la noche" ("This is the night"). I like to sing in English and Spanish, and I love to use as many musical styles as possible. I think all kind of music styles are great, and I don't want just to do one. But for me it's essential that songs can send a powerful messages to everybody. I try to write lyrics that can make people reflect, and at the same time enjoy. And I want melodies that can conquer hearts, and at the same time good arrangements that make great songs. I don't know if I can really get it, it's up to you to tell me that. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. You can find me too on www.arcanda.com and www.myspace.com/arcanda

Story behind the song
When you're a musician, your instrument really speaks loud about what you feel inside. It doesn't matter you don't want to think about it or you want to deny it. This song is about that. It's the way instruments sound because "I still know you're not here, you've gone". My friend Jasfunk played hamond organ and rhodes piano.
Lyrics
THIS LONELY GUITAR This lonely guitar has told me you’ve gone This lonely guitar has told me you’re not It was like a nightmare, it was like the hell. This lonely guitar is crying, this lonely guitar is dying and I’ll play the strings till the spirits have gone cause that’s a medicine for my soul. It was like a big stone into my head, there’s no time,. there’s no peace for those who cannot rest. and I wonder if there’s a way, there’s something I wanna say. This lonely guitar is crying, this lonely guitar is dying, and I’ll erase your face and look for another girl, cause I don’t want to be alone. Your words were enough to hurt my soul, there’s no prize, there’s no place for those who are insane. And I wonder if it is the same, I suppose it’s just unfair. This lonely guitar is crying, this lonely guitar is dying and I’ll play the strings till the spirits have gone cause that’s a medicine for my soul.
