Mezcal distilled

After more than 60 hours of recording, rerecording, and playing around with the mix in the studio (and this does not include countless hours listening to my latest mixes in the car and recording "listening notes" on my phone to use as a punchlist my next time in the studio) over the course of five months, my song Mezcal has been distilled down to this. Oh, and the new title is Mezcal / El Rey del Pinchismo.

Update 7/12/2013: Replaced Demo 77 with a new mix (Demo 7c) in which I incorporated a few fixes. Also lyrics are below.

Mezcal / El Rey del Pinchismo lyrics

Meanwhile back in Cuernavaca

living like there's no today

don't know what tomorrow holds

but this is what the people say

they say yeah yeah yeah

and Mitch he says, he says yeah yeah yeah

Talking to the Doc at los Arcos

trying to get to Holland or France

el mariachi says it would be so easy

If only you could learn how to dance

and Mitch is looking surly and says you think too much

what you need is a shot of mezcal

Though I thought I knew the answer

now I'm thinking Mitch is right

I'll never be a pretty dancer

or rule the night

but it's groovy down where I be

it's so groovy down Teopanzolco güey

para todo mal, mezcal

para todo bien, también

He is el rey del pinchismo

yes, he is the king

there is no one else here who can even begin to sling it like he can sling

el rey del pinchismo

es el rey, el rey del pinchismo
