Control was written spanning several countries and continents, finally gelling together with co-producer Ade Fenton (Gary Numan).  Control is an illusion to make people feel safe in a world and system that is obviously beyond their control, referencing a potential Singularity event.

#69 Joe Esposito

“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.

It tastes just like you’re condescending
Like you could never have the will
And in the morning when you’re happy
You break from finding out what’s real

Communication not receiving
You hear my voice but not my words
You build a wall to face the nothing
I build a bridge to meet you there

So, So far gone
Born, turned into stone
Time, time to let go
Let go - go

We need some Real Love
Real Love
I got some Real Love
Real Love

Dream up to the morning after 
Rise up to the setting sun
I’ll take you over me, under and over again
I hope you understand
Why we could not be friends
Livers and lovers but we could never pretend
So real

I need some Real Love
Real Love
I need some Real Love
Real Love

Dream up to the morning after 
Rise up to the setting sun
I’ll take you over me, under and over again
I hope you understand
Why we could not be friends
We’re future lovers, but we could never begin
without some

We need some Real Love
Real Love
I got some Real Love
Real Love


Real Love

The Machines EP

BandCamp / Spotify

The Machines EP (continuous mix)

The mysterious and enigmatic Milanese band NAVA return with an exhilarating, high-octane new song “Flesh”. It’s a dark tale of the constant struggles between the heart and the brain, featuring industrial sounds and wild shape-shifting electronic productions whilst all held together by singer Nava Golchini’s slithering vocals and sharp lyricism.

“The song reflects the struggles between the heart and mind, alternating the cruel industrial sound with the dreamy harmonies,” NAVA explained. “Flesh was one of the initial songs that we have ever created together. It came to Nava (Golchini) as an image. She was reading some stories about abortion, and many women change their minds as soon they hear the heartbeat, which is one of the first organs that develops.”

NAVA formed in Milan in 2016. Originally from Iran, singer Nava Golchini met producer & arranger Francesco Fugazza whilst studying music in Italy. The collaboration then expanded to include drummers Elia Pastori and Marco Fugazza. Talking cues from Italy’s current flourishing electronic music scene and international acts like Arca, Apparat, Purity Ring, etc, NAVA are a real cultural blender, melding Golchini’s own Persian musical background and the band’s experimental arrangements, into something truly cosmopolitan and visceral. Their debut songs “Ritual” and “Navigate,” released originally on Italian indie label Factory Flaws, garnered attention from The Line of Best Fit, Rolling Stone Italy, Earmilk, Red Bull and more.

Lyrics:

Lost touch with ground control
The comfort of the world I had know
I felt the dark between stars
I walked the rings of Saturn 

In my heart, I needed, I need to know more
Voyager at the edge, at the edge of the universe

I dressed for space, for the cold
In Sunday’s best - in velveteen gold

In my heart, oh I needed, I needed to know more 
Voyager at the edge, at the edge of the universe 

Lover, be brave
Never lost forever
Lover, I’ll be safe
Wish you were here at the edge of the universe

Stay Open (2x)

Differenz, color of your eyes
Differenz, color of my skin
Dekonstruieren, open eyes
Open minds
Dekonstruieren, open hearts
Yeah, open wide!

Offne die grenzen in deinem kopf, open the borders of your head (2X)

Differences, differences, all we see is differences
Trying to divide instead of unite
Deconstruct to reconstruct, fuck everyone who is corrupt, worldwide
Think for yourself and stay open
No matter what lies you’re told
Differences, differences, all we see is differences
Be curious and bold, yeah!

Differenz, we have so much to give
Differenz, we have so much to share
Dekonstruieren, open eyes
Open minds
Dekonstruieren, open hearts
Um zu rekonstruieren, Yeah, open wide!

Offne die grenzen in deinem kopf, open the borders of your head (2X)

Differences, differences, all we see is differences
Trying to divide instead of unite
Deconstruct to reconstruct, fuck everyone who is corrupt, worldwide
Stay Open, no matter what lies you’ve fed
Just stay open!

The country I was born in was divided by a wall
And still: Fortress Europe, Fortress Europe
Parts of the country that I live in are longing for a wall
Fortress USA, Fortress USA

So tear down the walls!
Hey now stay open
No matter what lies you’re told
Tear down the walls!
Hey now stay open
Be curious and bold, yeah!
Stay Open, stay open,

Hey, did you get my message?

Stay Open - A.F.C. Feat (She's Excited)

Guitar by: @aly-h-amin

You can tell by the way the hands are holding on
Couldn’t leave you guessing for a minute
More to life than the voices of a stereo

Eyes, ears could not be lone
Or leave you guess for reasons
I have no heroes

A new day arrives, come on inside
Rain washes, hold on
A new day arrives, come on inside
Rain washes, hold on

Some feeling some feelings
Come out and eat your fears
I have no fear at all

Looking back through the hole of a window
Sunlight has eased your fears
Still a day comes waiting for a pick me up.
