about

MY FAVORITE ANIMAL
A melodic rock effort with a funky groove and sticky guitar and organ hooks. The lyric condenses the diversity in our cultures and ecosystems into a beautiful universality. Certainly the right message in troubled times.

lyrics

MY FAVORITE ANIMAL
Copyright 2021 Walter Salas-Humara, Lagartija Music BMI

E A E RIFF
You are the bird, you are the walrus
You are the tiger, you are within us
You are the end, the beginning
You are the loss before the winning

A A
You are my favorite
A A E
You are my favorite animal

You are the cat, you are the bison
You are the dolphin in slow motion
Who needs an answer when there’s no question
No memory, only recognition

You are my favorite
You are my favorite animal

CHORUS
D A
We come together in the jungle
D A
We come together In the forrest
D A
We come together on the mountain
D D D D
Hell Yeah

You are the hawk, you are the porcupine
You are the zebra in a straight line
The next symphony, the next movement
The chord changes, the next president

You are my favorite
You are my favorite animal

REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
B B B B B B
Sky is over me
Clouds are over me
Rolling over me to you

SOLO

You are the panther, you are the pelican
You are the panda, a world citizen
Who needs an answer when there’s no question
No memory, only recognition

You are my favorite
You are my favorite animal

REPEAT CHORUS X2
REPEAT BRIDGE

The Silos, the still-kicking band Walter Salas-Humara co-founded in New York’s post-punk ‘80s scene played Alt-Rock, Alt- Country, and Americana before any critics coined those terms.
