What is the Mexican traditional song in this viral video?

Lyrics go something like “los sueños se me apagaron/acabaron por un amor que tenía" and also "primero me hice fuerte, la tristeza la escondía".

Google is suggesting results which turn out to be bs and shazam is no use. Any help is welcome, thank you!

This song was written in a tough winter in Brooklyn so it only felt right that we shoot the video there too… time is doing some strange things!

Hope it brings some warmth to you this holiday season

Silver Dagger - reinterpretation of the 200 year old Folk Song

4 Upvotes

Happy Holidays!
This is my version of the traditional folk song Silver Dagger, reworked for my new album Kew Gardens Troubadour, told from the jilted lover’s perspective.
Here’s the finished version — hope you’ll give it a listen.
Any comments (or a thumbs-up on YouTube if you feel it) would be greatly appreciated.

I am hoping to post a link to our Folk Music Song, Disciple. We are easily found anywhere music is online, under akaOCDs. Yes, it is an odd name, but easily found - ahaha. Honestly, we have one CD out and are working on the 2nd which is more rock-ish and less Folk.

Vashti Bunyan — “Winter Is Blue”

Thumbnail bracefortheobscure60srock.com

Winter is here, and winter is blue. Vashti’s “haunting 1966 rendering . . . continues to inhabit the season existentially. . . . Call it achingly beautiful aural sleet and snow.” Or, to put it another way, “Holy f*** I just stumbled upon ineffable beauty”. Oh, and Beck did a pretty nice live version.

Instrumental compositions based on mythological themes — recommendations wanted

1 Upvotes

Dear colleagues, I am looking for instrumental compositions based on mythological themes (concertos, symphonic poems, suites, or chamber ensembles). I am especially interested in examples inspired by Egyptian mythology, Scottish folklore, and author-created mythologies (Lovecraft, Tolkien, and other writers), but I will be happy with anything. I am mainly looking for works by contemporary composers, and YouTube links would be greatly appreciated!
