Another collaboration with the amazing Jimmy Rivas and Torbjørn Vagle.
Jimmy sent Torbjørn and myself an old version of the song to see if we would be interested in collaborating with him on a re make. After much fun and trading ideas, here is the result.

Credits:-

Jimmy:- Songwriter, Lead and Harmony Vocals, Keyboards. @j-rivas

Torbjørn:- Electric Piano, String Synths, Synth Lead. @tobbenv

Dairv:- Guitars, Bass, Drums, Mix, Production.

You've Got To Be Hiding Something (Jimmy Rivas - Torbjørn Vagle - Dairv Dubbleyew)

Inte Höst Än

Undertow from Genesis 1978 album And Then There Were Three.
Vocals beautifully performed by Donatella Basilico.
This one was hard but fun to do. I knew there was no chance to recreate the original  soundscape of the album version so it had to be something else with this one. Ended up like this.

Donatella is a part of the Italian progressive rock duo Frontecielo. Check out Frontecielo progressive rock at https://soundcloud.com/frontecielo
Big thank you again Don.

The Last Frost of Winter

Counting Out Time

Our cover version of Richard Hawley's song Serious.

Serious

Collab with Ola Jegreus on guitar. Added a coda.

The idea for this piece and lyrics was initially born from trying to describe that particular moment when our mind is going to surrender to sleep, ready to break its mooring from things and events of the day and external world and it's getting ready  and open to enter in its own deeper world...
Sometimes, in that moment, in that passage, in that limbo,  something quite special and magic may happen... a flash of inspiration may suddenly lights, an idea, a decision, an answer, a consciousness, 
sudden and unexpected, from who knows where...sometimes the inspiration of a melody, a music, a notes sequence... 
From that initial cue the lyrics took on a more globally existential meaning.

THE LIGHT NOW

You're trying to return where you belong 
and slow down your running 
this time is coming now to make you strong 
till a new daylight 
your eyes embrace the dark wings of the night 
they promise a sweet flight

And you realize that 
everything starts to melt 
and slowly to stream down 
like wet paint on a canvas
but just before the outlines fade 
away down the tunnel 
a new vision's flashing on 
sharp contours and perfect colours 

here is the light now 
here is the magic 
here are the answers 
here is the strength now 
here is the gateway 
here is the consciousness 

It's time to decide now 
the path is lit up 
too little time to be pure 
too much  to be damned 
there's nothing to return to 
and no one who returns 
and you know there's only one way to fly
you have to dare to do it

Original drawing by D.B., not for reproduction


A semi-serious, ironic and auto-ironic piece about regrets, thinking that often they become the same of monsters in our mind.
In the final, the subway sounds were recorded personally on the subway of Milan (curiously  the speaker announcing the stop "Duomo, fermata Duomo" is audible too) and it simbolized that they (monsters and regrets) don't course us only at nighttime but they are always with us.

With the precious collaboration of my friend Rosalie, helping me to correct the translation.

MONSTERS AND REGRETS

Why are you not sleeping now, what woke you this time,
what threw you into the place you were dreaming not to be ?
Jugglers are playng their dirty and subtle game,
the house as usual wins, only cards to discard for you

You know us so very well, we're monsters and regrets
and you know you can be sure we're not to let you rest

Every night you get eaten inside
We are monsters, we are regrets,
writing your story with our favourite ink,
made of tears and tears and tears

Sub-limit-nails
sublime your scares

You were convinced you turned over the page
but the paper's gossamer
our figures drawn are so intense
You can't help feeding us
thinking you can find your peace
if only you could understand

Hope for the silly, silly for hope

Every night you get eaten inside
we are monsters, we are regrets
marching creeping up to your side,
biting your soul and beating your mind

Memories fade away but pain always lurks in the dark
you never know when it will strike your throat, no defence
you will stop breathing for a while,
just for while
but your heart will not stop beating
'couse all you can do is just keep living
just keep living
just keep living

Memories fade away but pain always lurks in the dark
you never know when it will strike your throat, no defence

We are monsters, we are regrets
we are monsters, we are regrets

You know us so very well, we are not to let you rest
we're monstrers and regrets, we'll never let you rest



Every night you get eaten inside
we are monsters, we are regrets
marching creeping up to your side,
biting your soul and beating your mind
