I write, perform and record all my music alone using Ableton Live in my home studio. I see a music "renaissance", where musicians create songs and albums start to finish without the need of a rented studio, studio musicians, producers and the music industry. The new musicians play guitar, record using Pro Tools, Sonar and Ableton in their homes, sing, and do it all without the need to drain their pockets paying for help, or relying on a major label. I am excited to see the new musical Da Vincis, Michealangelos and the like show the beauty of the pursuit of creating art that is multi-faceted.

Story behind the song
A true story that repeats itself every possible chance I find.
Lyrics
Back in the day me and my partners in crime Had to get away and go and have a good time Cuz when you're working hard you gotta play even harder What better place than far south of the border When it's cold back home, in Costa Rica it's prime I leave all of the layers of clothes behind Strap sandals on my feet, in shorts and T's I'm fine Can't wait to get away, can't wait to have a good time Jaun Santamaria thanks for welcoming these Wide eyed gringos to paradise and please I�m afraid I'm never gonna want to leave La pura vida is simply so beckoning So now we're here and we don't wanna waste time To live the here and now is so sublime Conchal, Tamarindo or Flamingo�s fine We can see them all tomorrow if we drive all night A few more days in paradise please More sand, sun and waves than you'd ever believe And when the sun goes down, the moon and the sea Dancing to the music of the breeze in palm trees Nothing like the warm water of the sea Wake up in the morning, go body surfing Beach volleyball to see who's king of the beach Grab a pipa fria to cool off me Sorry bros I know you think that it's a crime Laying in the shade at siesta time Till the jama in the soda down the way I try Bob Marley'll be singing me a lullaby We spend about a week everyday like these Piling in the van we go wherever we please Ojala the rain doesn't disagree We�ll see the sun from Papagayo to Mal Pais We'd seen the best beaches we'd ever seen Beaches to ourselves, living the dream Till I found myself schemin' a scheme Derailed my train of thought if you know what I mean We could do the zona sur, never been there before Never really knowing what's in store Or we can go another route, take a detour Para la pachanga go and hit the dance floor Everybody's staring as we hit the scene Pseudo gringui-tico dance fiends Nothing here's better than the gente Our new tico friends todos pachucin The music won't stop till five in the morn Dancing won't stop until the break of dawn I never thought I'd ever see A tica tan linda dancing with me A few more days in paradise please More sun, sand and waves than you'd ever believe When the sun goes down, the moon and the sea Dancing to the music of the breeze in palm trees
