SailSki is the electronic music persona of award-winning composer Carlos Alberto Serrano...
🎶“Drifting Above / A La Deriva” is SailSki’s dual-lingual exploration of sound and emotion. Presented in two complete versions — one in English, one in Spanish — the album invites listeners to drift weightlessly through deep house grooves, airy atmospheres, and lyrics that capture the vastness of the sea and sky. In Drifting Above, the English lyrics evoke imagery of light, water, and infinite sky — a meditation on serenity and connection. In A La Deriva, the Spanish version delivers the same journey with its own warmth, intimacy, and flow, creating a mirror experience that feels familiar yet new. With pulsing basslines, shimmering textures, and emotive vocals, SailSki crafts a sonic experience that’s both physical and spiritual — music to move to, and music to dream with. 🌊🪈🎹
Drifting Above [Verse] Drifting above the ocean – I want to be Waves like whispers calling – serenity Salt in the air is singing – a melody Time feels like it’s dissolving – infinity [Chorus] I’m floating free I’m floating high A glimmer caught in the endless sky The world below fades into blue Drifting above Just me and you [Verse 2] Glimmer of thoughts in silence – a memory Clouds like a quilt are weaving – eternity The sun paints gold on water – a quiet plea The pull of the tide is speaking – it carries me [Prechorus] Every breath Every beat A rhythm soft beneath my feet [Chorus] I’m floating free I’m floating high A glimmer caught in the endless sky The world below fades into blue Drifting above Just me and you [Bridge] Echoes of light surround me – I start to dream The stars are close They guide the stream Rhythms of peace return me – I’m feeling free The ocean hums It knows my theme --------------------- A La Deriva [Verso 1] Flotando sobre el mar – yo quiero ir Las olas me susurran – serenidad La brisa trae canciones – melódicas El tiempo se disuelve – en infinidad [Coro] Floto sin fin Floto al volar Un resplandor vislumbra el mar El cielo azul, me envolverá A la deriva Juntos, los dos [Verso 2] Destellos de la memoria – silencio fiel Nubes tejen un manto – de eternidad El sol dorando el agua – en su canción Marea a la deriva – me llevará [Pre-Coro] Un respiro Un latido Ritmo suave de un suspiro [Coro] Floto sin fin Floto al volar Un resplandor vislumbra el mar El cielo azul, me envolverá A la deriva Juntos, los dos [Puente] Ecos de luz me envuelven – empiezo a soñar Estrellas me guían Muestran mi destino Ritmos de paz retornan – me hacen sentir Que el océano canta por mí
"I wanted to create a piece of music that floats — like waves, like clouds, like breath. By recording in both English and Spanish, I hoped to offer two windows into the same horizon: one universal feeling, expressed in two languages." – SailSki
