The Saddest Word of all is Love

the saddest word of all is Love
it cries tears that turn its head
to gaze on the arguments of the undead
as they pretend to fight for life
under the shadow of another dark night
where upon the dying deeds already done
it treatens to break the hearts of everyone
to speak a spoken word so rare - so kind
under the shadow of another distant kiss
two hearts prepare to miss each other
one has given her heart to another
under the shadow of another dark night
two eyes wallow in the sadness of life.

The Saddest Word Of All Is Love

A collab with wonderfully talented Dirk Maassen. 
I listened to his piano track "East" https://soundcloud.com/ascoltadi/dirk-maassen-east-open-collab and Dirk posted that it would be an open collab... so I took the piece of him and added another piano line, string orchestra and a flute... 

Here is my version of EAST. I hope you like it and thank you very much, Dirk, for your great inspiration and music! :D

MACRIMA & Dirk Maassen - East

Drama, mystique intrigue, love - everything that makes up a romantic separation in the old black and white movies.

Like a Swan

That Feeling of Anticipation

It felt so real, but it wasn't. Yet I'm having so much trouble letting go.
