A Tribute Song to Guillermo Mercado, affectionately known as Baby (or Baby G). He was a man who was like a brother to many of his friends, and who passed away way too soon. May he Sleep In Peace.

Story behind the song
This song was born from an impromptu music jam session in 2018 shortly after Guillermo's passing, by Guillermo's brother Osvaldo Mercado, along with friends Jayson Dyall & David Rinaldi. Some time later Jayson wrote the lyrics in 2021 and in 2023 made a full production recording along with the band The Spiral Surge and released it today, on what would have been Guillermo's birthday.
This song will appear in the upcoming Spiral Surge album "Fire & Ice".

Brother Can You Hear Me

Brother since you've gone, I really miss the constant laughter
I wonder if you're making them laugh up in the here and after
But here we are trying to cope with the void that's hard to fill
Not a day goes by we don't stop to share memories of you still
Brother can you hear me now
I really wish you were here somehow
And I wonder if you can see
How much we really miss you, "Baby G"
Brother can you hear me
I remember the pranks and the jokes, yes, you were such a jolly man
But you were also kindhearted, always offering a helping hand
And everyone I know always claimed you were their true best friend
Though you left us way too soon, but our friendship will never end
Brother can you hear me now
I really wish you were here somehow
And I wonder if you can see
How much we really miss you, "Baby G"
Brother can you hear me
BREAK
Brother can you hear me now
I really wish you were here somehow
And I wonder if you can see
How much we really miss you, "Baby G"
Brother can you hear me
We can picture you up in the clouds playing your Congas in Heaven
And making all the angels laugh with your facial expressions
And you would tell us don't be sad, just play some music and dance
So we wrote this song for you to remember you at every chance
Brother can you hear me now
I really wish you were here somehow
And I wonder if you can see
How much we really miss you, "Baby G"
Brother can you hear me.....
BREAK to end
