🎤 Lyrics:
Visions
Trying to make sense of the now
Trying to make sense of the past
To show us how

Visions
Imagining the worlds that could be
Shaping a mosaic of fates
For all sentient beings

Visions
Cycles of growth and decay
Cascading chains of events
With no one to praise or blame

Visions
Avoidable suffering and pain
We are patiently inching our way
Toward unreachable utopias

Visions
Enslaved by the forces of nature
Elevated by mindless replicators
Challenged to steer our collective destiny

Visions
Look at the magic of reality
While accepting with all honesty
That we can't know for sure what's next
No we can't know for sure what's next
But that we're in this together
We are here together

To celebrate, I'm sharing with you the second single from the record, "Visions". The lyrics for “Visions” came to me in early February 2020 just as there were more and more tweets about the possible pandemic. The topic of the song felt very timely. You can hear the birds and ambient sounds from the veranda, along with a layer of synth loops in the background.
"Visions" is now available to listen on all DSPs

Cheers from Portugal. Loved this song whilst listening Antena 3 (100.30)

This man is the definition of quality over everything

[thegeorgiacreekwalker]

Jose Gonzalez is one of the Greatest Singer Songwriters on Planet Earth and most people don't know who he is, maybe he'll get the recognition he deserves one day💙

[ferg]

I love the Jose's vibe. It's so chill, like at peace.

[selimyann]

This song touching my soul. We're here together, don't lose the hope...

Keep going José, we need you.

I’ve been obsessed with Jose’s music since I heard heartbeats whilst working in a hotel and it was a passion of mine to learn to play it on the guitar over this covid malarkey. I didn’t play the guitar before this. Now I can almost play both crosses and heartbeats on guitar and sing them. El invento was a beautiful soundtrack, I love the way he went with that song, it’s fitting for a our current situation in the world and now I feel this album will be similar vibes but I don’t know yet. 3 cheers for gonzalez 🙌 😁

Amazing how sentimental José can get with nothing more than a guitar and his own voice. Sensible lyrics and beautiful melody. Reminds me of Bob Dylan. We're really lucky for the opportunity of witenessing such amazing work. Thank you, José! Love from Brazil!
