Rise with the tide of motion Foam will teach you form The ice will reveal the boundaries, ooo-ooo-ooo And we will be and we will be and we will become And we will be and we will be and we will become And we will be and we will be and we will become ....
2.	Give It a Chance 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Why is there mud in the water? It seemed so clear One moment ago I can hear her grumble with me I am red lake Thought I'd dive To the bottom As see beneath the clouds Of violent clashes And seek within us Old friends I've lost Maybe they'll tell me to trust Trust in their trust in their songs... I forgot Forgot to breathe I'm not meant to linger here But I will remember To sing their songs Of love and pain

Taken by the wind I will change Oh-oh-oh I will slowly descend To cold stone Ooo - ooo - I Hope to find In that darker shade of life Love like the one I received from these bright roots When my body gets swept With the rest Oh - oh - oh And I see that black Plastic sheet Will the fear Start to rise? Overcome my whole being Will I breathe Into compassion And see that I am not the only one Hey, my friend Can you see that we're dying So slowly? Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh

about

Patos is a contemporary music band led by David Nájera González. Their songs are composed and arranged by him, but years of friendship have shaped the full sonic experience.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Djavan, Earth Wind and Fire and Art Blakey, David wrote five compositions during the COVID 19 lockdown in 2021. He had the chance to arrange and perform them once venues re-opened in NYC. In the summer of 2022, he decided to record them at Dimension 70 studios in LES.
