about

"¡Velalandia!" is a Spanish reinterpretation of Ian McCulloch's solo record,"Candleland," from 1989, which is around the time Amores Vigilantes band members met and began stealing one another's Mac and Bunnymen albums.


Instrumentation includes: grand piano, nylon acoustic, vibraphone, Fender Rhodes, melodica, kalimba, saxophone, trumpet and a rickety Hammond Organ that hopefully sounds like a European police siren.

¡Velalandia! is the first single off of our forthcoming ¡CANDLELANDIA! EP coming out on 10" vinyl, which will include reinterpretations of "Proud To Fall," "Flickering Wall," and mucho mas more.

Thanks for giving it a listen.

PAZ, AMOR y MIL NOCHES de OCEAN RAIN to one and all.

- Amores Vigilantes

lyrics

¡Velalandia!

Pon tus memorias en la manos

Para que limpies tu vida

En medio de los pecados

Que llevas a la mitad,

Con la falsa fe y milagros

Que sólo vivirán

En Velalandia!

Pon tu pena como la piel

Y disfraza la maldad.

Mezcla sal con azúcar

Y úntala en la cara

Sabrás que ya te fuiste

Cuando llegarás

A Velalandia!

Pasé por mis recuerdos

A buscar mi juventud.

Subí la escalera

Y dormí en el techo.

Dicen que el conocimiento

Es la prueba del nacimiento

De Velalandia!
