80s Pop Vibes

Il Cerchio e’ il brano piu’ filosofico dell’EP.
Qui, la tematica di un amore finito, e’ espresso in metafore, attraverso un linguaggio immediato e quasi infantile. Questo per rimarcare quanto, in un rapporto tra due persone, i concetti di liberta’, rispetto, individualita’ e complementarita’, siano semplici da esprimere in parole, ma allo stesso tempo,
sono quel che di piu’ difficile c’e’ per un essere umano da adempiere.
L’arrangiamento giocoso e’ sarcastico, come per sottolineare quanto gli adulti si
arrovellino sulle grandi cose, per poi perdersi sui valori semplici.

Listen to “Punch Me, I’ll Punch You” – the debut single by CIAO64 
CIAO64 is a music project launched in 2024 by Daniela De Marchi, Enrico “RickySplendor” Covili, and Marco “paZ” Stoppazzini. Blending nostalgic 1980s synth-pop with a modern pop aesthetic, the group creates songs that balance emotional rebellion and reflection, melancholy and the will to start over.
“Punch Me, I’ll Punch You” is a title that hits like a gut punch — raw and direct, it captures the essence of the track. Born during a period of intense personal struggle, the song explores the paradox of loss as a strange kind of relief that unexpectedly fuels a desire to fight back. Like a round in life’s toughest match, it swings between frustration, the urge to strike at what weighs you down, and the bittersweet clarity that every ending can also be a beginning. This is not surrender — it’s the will to rise, transform pain into strength, and face the future, even when it carries the shadow of the past.
Take a listen — and if it hits you in the right place, share it forward.

Driving in the Dark

A Different Christmas (lights come shining through)” è il nuovo singolo natalizio dei CIAO64, una mid-tempo luminosa e malinconica che unisce dolcezza, sincerità e un messaggio di speranza. Il brano nasce da un dolore reale: il primo Natale senza una persona amata, quando le luci sembrano più fredde e i ricordi più forti.
Nonostante la malinconia che accompagna queste festività, la canzone invita a cercare un momento di pace, anche fragile, da vivere insieme. Racconta che nulla è perfetto, nemmeno il Natale, ma che l’amore, la vicinanza e i piccoli gesti possono rendere più lieve la notte più lunga dell’anno.
“A Different Christmas” è una dedica, un abbraccio, un augurio a chi affronta un Natale diverso — perché, anche nel dolore, una luce può ancora farsi strada. Le luci… come shining through.


A Different Christmas (lights come shining through)” is the new Christmas single by CIAO64 — a mid-tempo track that blends warmth, melancholy, and a quiet sense of hope. The song was born from real grief: the first Christmas without a loved one, when the lights feel colder and the memories shine a little brighter.
Despite the sadness that often accompanies this time of year, the song invites us to find a moment of peace — however fragile — and to share it with someone close. It reminds us that nothing is perfect, not even Christmas, yet love, presence, and the smallest gestures can soften even the longest winter night.
“A Different Christmas” is a dedication, an embrace, and a wish for everyone facing a Christmas that feels different — because even in sorrow, a light can still break through. The lights… come shining through.

Questo brano l'abbiamo scritto durante il primo lockdown. Parla di come ci siamo resi conto di quanto il tempo sia sempre una scusante per rimandare o non fare qualcosa, lamentandoci sempre di "non avere tempo". Per poi infine realizzare quanto questa pandemia ci abbia fatto capire che è tempo di essere grati di ciò che abbiamo, ciò che siamo. Smettere di lamentarci ed essere grati alla vita.

Tempo

We wrote this song during the first lockdown in 2020. It's about how we wasted so much time finding always an excuse to postpone or not do something, always complaining that we 'don't have time'. And then finally descovering how much this pandemic made us realize that it is time to be grateful for what we have, what we are. To stop complaining and be grateful to life.
