When someone does you dirty and breaks your heart, sometimes you just gotta stand your ground and call them out. ;)

DEARLY DEPARTED

Dark Eyes

"Amore Mio" is a composition born out of a desire to pay homage to the African continent and the rich culture that inspired it. With this song, I aimed to create a musical dialogue between African tradition and modern influences, blending styles like Afro House, Pop, and R&B. Every musical and lyrical element was carefully chosen to convey a warm, romantic, and sensual atmosphere that accompanies the central theme of the song: love.

The structure of the lyrics is a journey through various African languages, symbolizing the unity and diversity of this continent. In the first verse, written in Swahili, I wanted to capture the solar energy and vibrant spirit of East Africa, inviting listeners on a journey filled with light and love. The second verse, in Xhosa, brings dance and movement, evoking the power and grace of South African culture, with a vibe that celebrates life. The third verse, in Zulu, continues this energy, delivering a message of joy and unity, reflecting the communal spirit that defines African life.

The repetitive chorus, “Amore Mio,” serves as a leitmotif, a universal declaration of love, connecting the song's heart with a sense of passion and romance. Whether it's love for a person or for Africa itself, this simple and catchy refrain carries a deep message: love transcends boundaries and is expressed through the universal language of music.

Instrumentally, I chose a combination of acoustic guitar and percussion, which are present throughout the composition, maintaining an organic and authentic sound, close to African roots. Adding synthesizers, electronic drums, and modern R&B and Pop influences brings a contemporary touch, creating a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. 

The overall mood of the song is chill, relaxing, and positive, with a romantic energy, designed to evoke a sense of well-being, peace, and joy. I wanted listeners to feel transported to a warm and welcoming world, one where love and African culture blend seamlessly.

Through this composition, "Amore Mio" becomes an ode to African culture, a celebration of this extraordinary continent's beauty, diversity, and emotional richness. Africa is my source of inspiration, and through this music, I want to pay tribute to its places, languages, and vibrant soul.

Verse 1 (Swahili)

Jua linawaka, twende pamoja
The sun is shining, let’s go together

Sauti ya muziki, furaha ya moyo
The sound of music, joy of the heart

Verse 2 (Xhosa)

Ukukhanya kwelanga, masidanse
The light of the sun, let’s dance

Intliziyo yam iyaphakama, siyathanda
My heart is rising, we are in love

Verse 3 (Zulu)

Siyajabula, hamba nami
We are happy, walk with me

Ingoma yethu, siyathandana
Our song, we love each other

Amore Mio

The Nomad Soul

If you were a fire
would you eat my gasoline soaked arms
I'd be your one to desire
if you knew who you thought i was
a match for every pirate
should your cannon ever need a roast
if you dont come for me
its dire
my pale blue purple becomes known
my pale blue purple
do you remember the alamo
my pale blue purple
goodbye everyone i know
if you never want to come
but you get off 
from the worst guy
ive ever known
if i know youll never love me
and if you have the driest eyes
if you hate me
and you love me
i know your one of my kind
now that the sun has set
your my pale blue purple eye
my pale blue purple eye
like a father defeated by genes
like what they say are modern times
my pale blue eyes are ripping at the seams

Panacea

My Pale Blue Purple
