Toadstool Shadow - Sombra del Hongo (Official Music Video)
First, please subscribe. We only need a few more subscribers until we can monetize.
With English verses and a Spanish chorus and title, "Sombra del Hongo" is Toadstool Shadow's first bilingual song. As usual, the elf band is hiding in the bushes, just beyond the Americans' common awareness. They are playing their music to try to re-enchant the world. The song is about shamanic presence.
This tune is on Toadstool Shadow's just-released second album, "Folk Songs of the American Wood Elf," available for download everywhere. CDs and downloads are also available at our own personal Bandcamp: https://toadstoolshadow.bandcamp.com/....

Lyrics:
"When I look to the west, the blue star crowns the zodiac
Then I look to the east, the shadows grow and fade to black
So I look to the north, the black bear sleeps until the spring
And I look to the south, the unknown forces beckoning
Con guitarra y bongo!
Sombra, Sombra, sombra del a hongo go
When I look to the sky, a thousand suns stare back at me
Then I look to the ground, it fairly reeks of potency
So I look to the folk, I see myself inside their eyes
And I look deep within, and find that blue star soon to rise!
Con guitarra y bongo!
Sombra Sombra, sombra del a hongo go"
