Santos Bonacci is a Melbourne Based Flamenco/Latin/Jazz guitarist. His music is original guitar music with a hint of Santana and Gypsy Kings. With Darryl Wood in the Duo ‘Bonacci & Wood’, Santos has sold thousands of copies of the duo’s ‘Moorea’ and ‘Nuevo Mundo’ CD’s.

Santos started playing the Beatles and Cat Stephens at age 9 in 1972. Since then he has dabbled in Rock 'n Roll, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Baroque, Flamenco & Contemporary. From this diverse background, Santos has developed a highly refined and original style, fusing Flamenco, Latin, and Jazz. This genre of music is mostly associated with the Gypsies of southern France and Spain, and was made popular on a global scale by the Gypsy Kings through the Eighties and Nineties.

Santos’ music has an engaging intensity but is easy to listen to. With the Duo Bonacci & Wood, Santos was the opening act for Bill Gates’ keynote speech at the Comdex IT Expo 2001, (MGM Grand, Las Vegas), playing to 17,000 people. Other career highlights include opening for Leo Sayer at The Show Room, Crown Casino, Melbourne, Australia and performances at the Riviera Casino, and 5 days at Comdex 2001 Las Vegas.

Santos uses a hand built Spanish Flamenco Guitar, and has a playing technique based on Flamenco Classical and Baroque training. His album ‘Angelica’ was produced with the best Australian sound engineers (Andy Shanahan - Co-Producer, Steve Scanlon - Mastering). Together they have achieved a very high quality sounding ‘acoustic’ album.

Pray
Santos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Despite my intentions, time always seems to have other plans.
Breathtaking plot-twists, to change up my optics,
Makes me wonder if I can.
But time is just moments, perpetually falling into itself.
c record of the times, that I've lied and cried,
cnd tried to keep it to myself.

I pray my mind and fears calm down.

I pray the time and years slow down.
I pray my mind and fears calm down.
I pray the time and years slow down.

The storm winds are howling and my logic begins to wane.
Cloudy minds and windy times, swirling together again.
Looks like a tornado, spread rubble all about.
But what shook up our house, was the wind from my mouth,
With every single shout.

So I pray my mind and fears calm down.
Oh I pray the time and years slow down.
Yes I pray my mind and fears calm down.
I pray the time and years slow down.

Maybe one day I'll see, how to apply all these techniques.
But my emotions run quick, faster than my quips,
Making words like whips.

So I pray my mind and fears calm down.
I pray the time and years slow down.
Yes I need, my mind and fears to calm down.
Oh please, make the time and years slow down.
Calm down.

Slow down.
I pray.

Overall Meaning

In Santos's song "Pray," the lyrics delve into the internal struggles and challenges of the singer. The opening line, "Despite my intentions, time always seems to have other plans," reflects a sense of frustration that despite one's best efforts, life often takes unexpected turns. The mention of "breathtaking plot-twists" and the need to change perspectives suggests that the singer is confronted with unforeseen circumstances that make them question their ability to cope.

The idea of time as moments perpetually falling into itself reveals a contemplation on the passage of time and the realization that it is beyond our control. The line "record of the times, that I've lied and cried, and tried to keep it to myself" signifies the singer's acknowledgment of their own vulnerabilities and the struggle to hide their emotions and mistakes.

The repeated prayer-like refrain "I pray my mind and fears calm down, I pray the time and years slow down" encapsulates the plea for tranquility and a desire for a slowdown in the relentless pace of life. The storm imagery, referencing a tornado and the wind from the singer's mouth, signifies the chaos that their emotions can create, potentially damaging their relationships or surroundings.

The concluding verses express the difficulty of applying techniques to manage emotions, as they run quicker than the singer's ability to articulate them. The song ends with a plea for emotional stability and a slower pace of life, emphasizing the need to find solace and peace amidst the unpredictable nature of existence.

Line by Line Meaning

Despite my intentions, time always seems to have other plans.
No matter what I intended, time has a way of diverting and changing my plans.

Breathtaking plot-twists, to change up my optics,
Unexpected and stunning turns of events that alter my perspective.

Makes me wonder if I can.
Leads me to question my abilities.

But time is just moments, perpetually falling into itself.
Time is a continuous progression of fleeting moments, endlessly folding into one another.

Record of the times, that I've lied and cried,
A documentation of the occasions when I've been dishonest and shed tears,

And tried to keep it to myself.
And attempted to hide it from others.

The storm winds are howling and my logic begins to wane.
When strong winds of turmoil arise, my rationality starts to diminish.

Cloudy minds and windy times, swirling together again.
Confused thoughts and tumultuous moments, merging and swirling once more.

Looks like a tornado, spread rubble all about.
Resembles a destructive tornado, scattering debris everywhere.

But what shook up our house, was the wind from my mouth, with every single shout.
Yet, it was my words, shouted with force, that caused turmoil within our relationship.

Maybe one day I'll see, how to apply all these techniques.
Perhaps in the future, I will learn how to use these strategies.

But my emotions run quick, faster than my quips, making words like whips.
However, my emotions escalate rapidly, outpacing my quick remarks and transforming them into verbal lashes.

Yes I need, my mind and fears to calm down.
I truly require my mind and worries to settle themselves.

Oh please, make the time and years slow down.
I earnestly request for time to pass more slowly.

Calm down.
Find serenity.

Slow down.
Decelerate the pace.

I pray.
I beseech.
