Lourdes Hernández is a singer-songwriter based in Madrid, Spain. The moniker for Lourdes comes from a lipstick color she frequently uses. Her beautifully crafted, minimal songs beam delicate folk harmonies and lustrous vocals. The band was originally formed in 2007, by Lourdes and Brian Hunt, with whom she had previously recorded some songs, and who helped her record her first album. However, before it was released, they split up.   

Russian Red, de son vrai nom Lourdes Hern&aacute;ndez, est une auteure-compositeure-interprète de musique folk vivant à Madrid, en Espagne. Son premier album, I Love Your Glasses, est sorti le 1er avril 2008 sous le label Eureka Records.  http://www.myspace.com/russianready

Russian Red ist das Akkustikprojekt der Singer/Songwriterin Lourdes und Gitarrist Brian Hunt aus Madrid, das erst im Januar diesen Jahres das Licht der Welt erblickte.   Bei ihren Shows werden Lourdes und Brian durch eine zusätzliche elektrische Gitarre, Background Vocals und Percussionelemente unterstützt, die die Livemusik und die Shows von Russian Red noch beeindruckender werden lassen. Alle Freunde des nordamerikanischen Folk werden an diesen Konzerten ihre wahre Freude haben.  

Sus primeros acordes sonaron cuando tenía 16 años, una amiga le estaba enseñando a tocar la guitarra para participar en un coro de verano. Aquello fue un gran principio. Las primeras canciones vinieron seguidas. Por su afición a escribir poesía, en sus inicios Lourdes le puso música a algunos de sus poemas, aunque pronto se dio cuenta de que en inglés todo lo que quería expresar le parecía más sutil y sencillo.

Intro:

    C   G                 F
The sun fills the kitchen in my house
     C        G           F
It's warm and cozy and it helps me breathe
      C      G         F             C    G    F
And I wonder if you're making people laugh
             C   G   F
Cause you're funny
       C   G   F
You're funny

    C     G         F
The trees out of my window dance
        C  G     F
Oh they do dance with the wind
      C      G      F
And I wonder why, I wonder why
  C      G       F    C   G   F
I wonder why, we are apart
            C   G   F
Cause we're funny
      C     G       F           C    G    F
We're funny people, beautiful inside

    C                   F
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
    C                 F
The clouds above hang over me
    C                   F
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea

(Em F G)x2

(C G F)x4

    C        G              F
The sea goes quiet when the night is dark
         C        G            F
With the lights reflected jump in from the sky
      C      G        F                 C   G   F
And I wonder if we'll see the moon walk by
           C    G   F
Cause it's shining
     C    G    F
It's shining
      C          G        F                 C   G   F
As it lights the shadows, see the moon walk by.

    C                   F
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
    C                 F
The clouds above hang over me
    C                   F
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
    C                   F
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
    C                   F
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
    C                   F
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
    C                   F
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
    C                   F
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea

You were travelling really far

I had to stay in watch the plants be sorry
C
Miles away and planes apart

you were discovering a new land, I was lonely.
Bm       F#        G
You were young and I was sad

I just wanted to be by your side

Everyday, everynight, no more shall we part.
Em        D           C      D       G
Everyday, everynight, no more shall we part.

C
You were dancing in my head
                                  G
I played forever Last Year's Man, I'm sorry.
C
Keep my trousers, stay in bed and read the good things
                  G
I'm afraid now you're lonely.

School Friends

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o
         F      C     G

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
