I see your picture and I turn around Cause I don’t wanna lie I faced all my landscapes purifying my soul I was swallowed into the storm Uh, uh uh uh You came with the western cold wind Uh, uh uh uh You came with the blues Down in the river where my mind goes wild The silver hour glittered in my heart Tried to catch your spirit, wanted to pain the sun I bloomed in you, now I’m on my way down Uh, uh uh uh You came with the western cold wind Uh, uh uh uh You came with the blues

Lost Battles 03:20
Soft is the wind that brings back memories The sweet taste of the calm When no one can sense the end You gazed the horizon Were you looking for me? I was losing my own battles You were one of them You were one of them You were one of them Now that it’s all over I see I could only win by your side While I listen the wind thunder When the sun shines While I listen the wind thunder When the sun shines
3.
I was headed to the mountains I was coming back home Suddenly I saw a mirage I was trapped in the fog It was you Standing in the blue Oh you Saying you would be true And me Distance is all I see You knew How much I wanted to be with you Long the days that I have wasted Since you waved goodbye Wishing you would come and kiss me In the valley of my heart But you Standing in the blue Oh you Saying you would be true And me Distance is all I see You knew How much I wanted to be with you
4.
Unnamed 06:10
It took me a while To be back on the tracks To emerge from that damn old hell As night goes on Bewitched by the holy call I met no light and day What can I say? I was playing the wicked game Wish it was someone else to blame Deep solitude Choking my youth Running wild beating my virtue It was hard to love me In those shatters of vacuum time A sinking sun on the run What can I say? I was playing the wicked game Wish it was someone else to blame
5.
Farewell 02:42
Goodbye to the city Goodbye to the place that I love I can count the people That walked out my door I know I’m sometimes hard to take I know I shouldn’t wait But saying goodbye to you Darling it hurts
6.
Here, Here we go again Dancing in the shadows The shadows of time Us, Travelling between The waves of desire And the sighs of the land Did you see me go Searching for nothing more In the shout of the night? Feeling far from home Desperately craving for new gold Falling within The signals of the oblivion Here, Here we are again Dreaming of the splendor From the humble grass Come You put me in this throne Fullness of euphoria Dressed in thorns Did you see me go Searching’ for nothing more In the shout of the night? Feeling far from home Desperately craving for new gold Falling within The signals of the oblivion
7.
Candles 05:24
Mother Keep your mind clear Father Father don’t go Cause outside The land is dark There’ll be no candles To hold a light To hold a light To hold a light Mother Don’t you want to come back? To those glory sweet days With its eternal blaze But tonite The land is dark And I can’t see no future Waiting for us Waiting for us Waiting for us
8.
Come Closer 02:25
Come closer And lay down by my side There ain’t no rush, babe Let’s get the warmth of light Come closer And softly touch my skin Heal all my wounds, boy And whisper in my ears Together we can ride This endless thriving road To reach the unbroken land I fell it in my bones Come closer It’s been a long way down Don’t carry it all, don’t Let’s leave the fears behind Together we can ride This endless thriving road To reach the unbroken land I fell it in my bones Come closer Come closer
9.
The Garden 03:17
I was floating over my body But I couldn’t feel I couldn’t feel I was gathering my flesh and bones But I couldn’t see I couldn’t recognize me That night alone in the garden You showed me your path Showed me your path Then you said you’d be waiting me On the other side The other side The wind will flow for me this time And everything will fly Everything will fly Leaving me only with these memories Of an impulsive time Impulsive time
10.
Walk In Sin 03:01
You walk in silence You walk in sin You came in circles I know where you've been In the dusk of your eyes Curtain of your lies It burns fire When your candor dies You see my light You want me to fall in the mud When you breathe in the dark side Your name sparkles Your body shines But collides with the winter Of the sacred minds You see my light You want me to fall in the mud When you breathe in the dark side When you live in the dark side When you love in the dark side When you fake in the dark side The silver dew will scatter these ruins Time will tell how deep is your grave In this land, no place for rusted men
11.
Will you come back? I won’t be back In these dreamy hills of eternal sunsets I’ll let the fire burn away But I’ll hold the trail For when the flood comes in again Oh, oh, I keep on fallin’ Oh, oh, I took the wrong way But I I won’t be fallin’ ‘cause I won’t be driftin’ away Beauty arrives and leaves me nothing Restless beast in this lonely county I'm drowned In the letting go And the rain strikes again Oh, oh, I keep on fallin’ Oh, oh, I took the wrong way But I I won’t be fallin’ ‘cause I won’t be drifting away I'll be drifting away I'll be drifting away I'll be drifting away

about

For her fourth album in five years, Joana Serrat travelled from her home in Vic, Barcelona to the Texas Hill Country outside Austin. There she teamed up with Israel Nash at his Plum Creek Sound studio near the town of Dripping Springs. For the recording sessions Nash & Serrat corralled a stellar crew of musicians: Joey McClellan, (Midlake, BNQT, John Grant, Israel Nash), Eric Swanson, Josh Fleischmann (Israel Nash), Aaron McClellan, Dave Simonett (Trampled By Turtles) and Dennis Love (Futurebirds), as well as Nash himself providing additional guitar and backing vocals.

Israel Nash produced the album, with Ted Young (Grammy award winner for The Rolling Stones) on engineering and mixing duties. It was no mean feat to gather all these creative talents and get them working together as a team, but as Israel Nash commented, “it was very easy to work with Joana because she knows where she wants to go and she leads us all there. Joana’s lyrics are brilliant. She uses images and colours to describe her songs and luckily that's the way we are used to working”. Joey McClellan adds, “her voice was our guide”.

The resulting album - which Joana named after the local town - is unsurprisingly Joana Serrat’s most Americana album to date. Mojo described her last album Cross The Verge as “Mazzy Star guesting on an early Neil Young demo”, but with Dripping Springs she has produced a far more rounded and polished piece of work. Serrat explains, “it’s an album that deals with farewells but is filled with an optimistic melancholy that doesn’t isolate nor enclose the spirit and determination to realise our own dreams”. It was a bold move by the young Catalan to cross the Atlantic to work with a bunch of American musicians that she had admired from afar but had never met.
