Mexico by Larkham and Hall feat Charlie Rose
Written by El Hall in 2023 'On a busy hot, day in Valladolid on the Yucatan peninsula, I walked past a couple who had met up for lunch. They were eating tortillas off the boot of an old car and something about it struck me as incredibly romantic. In my head Mexico was always more than just a country, it was that magical place that existed in dreams as much as reality'
'Love's a beautiful thing, or so I'm told
It can set you alight or it can burn you cold
and I saw it once in Valladolid
they were dancing with the angels, though they kept it hid.
You can cross the high seas to find who you are
they were eating tortillas off the boot of a car
and I saw in them something gold
the kind of love that don't get old
but they don't see it or wonder why
things to do, we pass them by
but you ain't seen magic, without the show
'till you've seen Mexico
and I could've stopped to let them know,
how perfect they were in the evening glow
but I saw their light in Yucatan
they say you can't take it with you but you can
but they don't see it or wonder why
things to do, we pass them by
but you ain't seen magic, without the show
'till you've seen Mexico
Listen to me close, feel each word in your heart,
today is but a memory that's yet to start
and as for regret, well just be brave
or you'll carry it with you, you'll become it's slave
but they don't see it or wonder why
they made their peace with life, before they die
but you ain't seen magic, without the show
'till you've seen Mexico
