Midnight In The City Words and music by Redentor Jimenez Well the street lights are on Lit up like a show on Broadway And the streak of yellow taxis Are leading the traffic blaze And the Empire State, commanding the sky Her freedom lights are on tonight And the winners and losers Blood brothers, ready to fight On Bleeker Street and Time Square Its midnight, in the city tonight Well the black, yellow, red and white Street markers for the subway trains But the cold hearts are burning the night Crying out for a vigilant reign Asking questions, search for answers From the leaders, nowhere in sight Holding on, the promise to Our children, sleeping in the dark On Bleeker Street and Time Square Its midnight, in the city tonight The skyline looks different tonight The evening news is putting the show 'bout a soldier who'll never know the reason, he had to die Well the tunnel lights are out tonight Darker than an abandoned train Homeless sleeps down with the hungry rats Searching for someone to blame And Lady Liberty commands the night Her torch lights up the sky But the silent and the lonely Are left stranded in the dark On Bleeker Street and Time Square Its midnight, in the city tonight From the Hudson to 'Frisco Bay Its midnight, in America tonight Midnight, midnight in the city Midnight, midnight in the city © copyright 2010-2021 Redentor Jimenez

DON’T’ LET THEM KNOW By Redentor Jimenez Don’t let them know Walking around in this great wall Smile, no don’t smile girl Just be strong, stronger than them Feeling hard and looking outrageous With a slight frown and a crooked smile Don’t say much, let them wonder Just to sit here and ponder Then one day, baby you’ll let loose The real you will soon break through Walking tall, talking proud To the other side of town Rock and roll lady come follow me I’ll take you where the wind blows free Far away from this dusty covers Before you and I get any older Mid-Section Lead Guitar (- 1x) Then one day, baby you’ll let loose The real you will soon break through Walking tall, talking proud To the other side of town Rock and roll lady come follow me I’ll take you where the wind blows free Far away from this dusty covers Before you and I get any older Hey baby come follow me I’ll take you where the wind blows free Far away from this dusty covers Before you and I get any older Copyright (c) 2010 Redentor Jimenez All Rights Reserved

Seed Of Hope 04:30
SEED OF HOPE by Redentor Jimenez Wendy looks out the window tonight She’s looking for the light Hoping for a sign to come Touch the moon it ain’t so far Waiting for that falling star Night’s quiet except for them wrestling thoughts Counting sheep ain’t enough A woman’s dream that don’t come true Her hearts crying I’m failing you Body’s weak for a child to come through? But she saw the angels’ lining up behind the moon They’re showering the seed of hope to help her through Take a glimpse of a mother’s child, will she ever know? Sowing the seed of hope, one day will grow She wants to be all right The morning drive is harder today Clock’s ticking away When work is done, yeah its time to go Can’t wait to see her Bobby Joe Head for the mountains or see a show (co’s she…) But she saw the angels’ lining up behind the moon They’re showering the seed of hope to help her through Take a glimpse of a mother’s child, will she ever know? Sowing the seed of hope, one day will grow She wants to be all right Wendy looks out the ridge, catch a sparkle Circling ‘round the moon Closed her eyes drenched in hope Then she whispers her wish on cue Under the blanket under the stars (she catches) Bobby’s little boy grin Their gold rings are shining tonight Realized its gonna be alright She held her Bobby through the night (yeah she…) And they saw the angels’ lining up behind the moon Showering the seed of hope to help her through Take a glimpse of a mother’s child, a dream come true Sowing the seed of hope, one day will grow They're gonna be all right They're gonna be alright , no need to cry tonight, the moon is out of sight Its gonna be alright, no need to cry now Wendy Lets drive it home tonight, no need to cry now Bobby Its gonna be alright Copyright (c) 2010 Redentor Jimenez All Rights Reserved

In My Dream 04:31
IN MY DREAMS by Redentor Jimenez In my dreams we are dancing To a waltz that I just wrote In my dreams you were sleeping With your head on my shoulder While the night train took us home And the time I felt alone In my dream In my dreams we are singing To a song from a play we just saw In my dreams we are walking On the beach so cold hand in hand In my dream I was dying For losing the words that you wrote In my dream my world is empty For losing someone beautiful as you While the night train took us home And the time I felt alone In my dream While the night train took us home And the time I felt alone Then I woke up to find my dream Sleeping next to me Sleeping next to me In my dream In my dream yeah yeah yeah In my dream yeah yeah yeah Copyright (c) 2014 Redentor Jimenez All Rights Reserved

Stars 03:11
STARS by Redentor Jimenez Tonight I’m covered A blanket of stars As I lie in a forest of whispering trees Step by step I walked From the heart of the forest I could hear their ghostly voices Calling me So I strayed Through the night Like the wind unforgiven And I played out of sight Like a willow deceiving Like candles on windows So far I can see By the time I made it home My stars followed me So I strayed Through the night Like the wind unforgiven And I played out of sight Like a willow deceiving Until the faded lights are all gone Leaving darkness colder So I hid Into the night From the wind unforsaken And I played out of sight Like a willow deceiving So I prayed To the stars Waiting for my light to shine And I crawled from the night Like a willow surrendering Tonight I’m covered A blanket of stars By the time I made it home My stars followed me Copyright (c) 2012 Redentor Jimenez All Rights Reserved

KISSING BRIDGE by Redentor Jimenez Left alone on a summer night Celtic ring out of sight I see, I see you in a dream Hot sun shaded tree Cool me without a breeze Of you, without you in a dream The kissing bridge is calling Jaded water of a forgotten you How could I missed you kissing bridge with you Our story in another life You walked with me as my wife I kissed, kissed you on the bridge Calling on the summer gods Embrace the balmy air Comes the fall, coolness for a schoolboy’s wish The kissing bridge is calling Jaded water of a forgotten you How could I've missed you kissing bridge with you The kissing bridge is calling Faded whisper escaping you How could I've missed you On the kissing bridge with you Copyright (c) 2011 Redentor Jimenez All Rights Reserved

Let Me In 05:36
LET ME IN by Redentor Jimenez Whisper chilled the air had called my name A gush without a sound, no one there Sheltered from the voice that spirits dared No open words from you nothing’s new Catch a breathe of sigh to cleanse the yearning Moments gone from you feels the same When candle’s exhausted flames still burns to touch Unspoken words from you nothing’s new Is there anybody home? I’m knocking’ at your door The road was long please let me in My hearts on the run Can’t find my way home I’m lost inside myself please let me in Siren’s voice sing tonight reveal your soul Phantom glimpsed of your heart hides the fear In this echo of black above the crossroad stole Mixed words of truth from you nothing’s clear Lost in touch with my forever World apart in our dreams Passion intensifies as my muse reappears In this illusion so real Co’s nobody’s home I’m locked outside your door So strong, please let me in My heart’s out of line I’ve wasted so much time I’m lost inside myself please let me in I’m lost inside myself please let me in Copyright (c) 1998 Redentor Jimenez All Rights Reserved

The Fool 04:29
THE FOOL by Redentor Jimenez Key Baby you tell me I was wrong And you say I don’t belong But you keep me hanging on Hanging on for so long And you say I’m just a fool A little boy still in school So what’s this boy to do To keep from running Running scared into the night (can you here me calling) I can see your shadow bright (under the moonlight) I don’t care if it’s wrong or right (there’s nothing else to follow) I feel the breath of life in you That’s why I’m playing the part of the fool Can’t you see I’m stuck on you? Well I used to be so cool Now I’m a stranger in your space Just a name with no face Now the nights are running long And this boy is not that strong I don’t care if tomorrow comes Girl I know I belong Well its time for me to fly & When the day that I break through I want you to know I’ll never let you go Running scared into the night (can you here me calling) I can see your shadow bright (under the moonlight) I don’t care if it’s wrong or right (there’s nothing else to follow) I feel the breath of life in you That’s why I’m playing the part of the fool Copyright (c) 2012 Redentor Jimenez All Rights Reserved

Sweet Marie 04:52
SWEET MARIE by Redentor Jimenez She walked into the smoke-filled room Like a ballerina on a stage Her body is tight and light as a feather Helping the band playin’ To give them soul The lady sang in Spanish Harlem Every Johnny knew her name The Latin blood rushing inside her Danced the rhythm and soul of Santa Fe You can call her Maria or Marie And if you feel lucky tonight You can see her in the sailor moon When the tides are low Think of her large Spanish eyes And sweet Marie will come To sing and sing and dance and dance for you (for you) She carried the crowd down the canyon like a mule with a heavy load Her songs read a story ‘bout her forgotten dreams left on the street untold Big eyes from those pretty girls Were stuck on sweet Marie And from the outside of the café window You can see the contessa for free You can call her Maria or Marie And if you feel lucky tonight You can see her in the sailor moon When the tides are low Think of her large Spanish eyes And sweet Marie will come To sing and sing and dance and dance for you (for you) She walked into the ballroom Like a senorita Joan of Arc Her body is tight and lean and mean Lighting the smoking machine With a single to spark Before the night was over The senorita made the dead man dance And all the boys were on their knees Begging sweet Marie for a second chance You can call her Maria or Marie And if you feel lucky tonight You can see her in the sailor moon When the tides are low Think of her large Spanish eyes And sweet Marie will come To sing and sing and dance and dance for you (for you) Sweet Marie Sweet Marie Sweet Marie Sweet Marie Sweet Marie Copyright (c) 2012 Redentor Jimenez All Rights Reserved

about

The album title track “Midnight in the City” was inspired by the darkened climate created when the NYC twin towers fell on 9/11/2001. Red was challenged by a fellow artist to write lyrics and music that would express the indescribable feelings of that time: a song that would give voice to the silenced.

about

Red Reyne Washington, D.C.

Redentor, a.k.a. Red Reyne, was born in the Philippines. Red moved to New Jersey when he was 10, and he’s been here ever since. His love for rock and roll, was fixed after first hearing Hey Jude by the Beatles. As a small boy in the islands, he’d always carry around the words of this song, torn from a lyric book and tucked in his back pocket… a near reminder of how a good song should be written. ... more
