My reposts on 13th april

"Keep on, don’t look back, hold on to this love..."

First, long awaited collaboration with Vocalatti, and her sultry vocals - a great performance indeed, but also a tribute to her very poignant lyrics - take them in.

Then, Derek Cornett a.k.a "Larry Carlton/Earl Klugh/George Benson" (your choice) delivers the smoothest, laid back guitar imaginable.

Magnus, you're zooming in on the appropriate sentiment with aplomb, your EWI always a pleasure to listen to.

And then our own "Paulinho da Costa", multi-talented MoodyMo adding the final layer on the cake with his subtle and stylish percussion.

From vision to fruition, thanks to the ever-awesome collaborators from all over the world; as always no boundaries in the world of music.

I thank you all.

Lyrics:

Is it time for us
To take just what we had
And walk away just as friends
It seems to me that every time
That we said goodbye
All that sadness in your eyes

Fate can be so cruel
When others break the rules
No one gets another chance
I find it hard to think that
You're never coming back
All is wasted what we had

Chorus

Keep on
Don’t look back
Hold on to this love
That we already had and
Try to start again
Let this love begin
And never let it end

Looking back to when
Our feelings had to end
Was the last thing on my mind
I wanted to always stay here
So you and I
Could find peace within our lives

Nothing stays the same
Two people are to blame
For changing other people’s lives
If I knew how
I would have stayed in that fairytale
Feeling free and so alive

Chorus

Move on start a new
You’ll forget these things
That life has put us through
And try to love again
You'll remember that
You and I were friends

Madness taught me
I always stayed in the shadows
And I will stay forever
And still misunderstood
The madness is not what they say
It is a beautiful disease
It allows me to survive
My delirium of my friends for life.
When they told me I was crazy
They have not understood my words
Or have misinterpreted the
For I am constrained and forced to stay.
Refrain
The world wrong
I know I'm right
They did not want to see
They prefer to stay in the black.
Chorus (repeat)
The world wrong
But it has its reasons
It is easier to believe
And stay in the fog.
Become FOU, BLUR In this world
This world or everyone in FOU
I walk without reason, My not reason
Always and Forever in unison ...
In this long hallway, Always
And increasingly long ....
For a long time, Anesthetized, Without understanding
Chorus (repeat)
The world wrong
But it has its reasons
It is easier to believe
And stay in the fog.
My life no longer mean anything
Between space of time, and the bottom of this ravine
The cachetons, the sessions psy
Also in the FOND In BLUR
Without reason, without reasoning Accurate
Without ambition, I'm Bout
I kill myself, Past tightrope
Around my neck
My life is but a long story
Sure I will die here
Behind the walls of my reason
No one will remember my name.
Refrain
But the party is over
They drugged me, punished
The waltz is over
I see the world as it is.
As in wonderland
More now nothing is more like
I sleep when life awakens
I wake me when the night entrances us
Caught in the spiral of madness
I sail, I awake, I marvel
Caught in the grip of this life, Who is so good
And in which I still misunderstood
Misunderstood, but forced helpless
Faced with this imaginary sick I feel sick
I can not separate myself without seeming
It is in me, it kills me, I feel
Despair overtook me
I'm done, I went out
My prison is inside me
Chemistry has succeeded.
Refrain
I can not stand it, I die
My life was an illusion
But it was much better
When I saw it in your eyes.
Chorus (repeat)
But where is the mirror?
Alice, come back to me
To forget about it
I want to sleep with you ...

 Mack Rice, Ride Sally, Ride.  Performed by Rockin' Shirley
"Mustang Sally" is an R&B song written and first recorded by Mack Rice in 1965.[1,,,It gained greater popularity when Wilson Pickett covered it the following year on a single, a version that was also released on the 1966 album, The Wicked Pickett.[4

According to music historian Tom Shannon the song started as a joke when singer Della Reese wanted a new Ford Mustang. Rice called the early version "Mustang Mama" but changed the title after Aretha Franklin suggested "Mustang Sally".[5]    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustang_Sally_(song)

Bob Seger, "Mainstreet", performed by Rockin Shirley
"Mainstreet" is a song written and recorded by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band. It was released in April 1977 as the fourth single from the album Night Moves. The song peaked at number 24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and has since become a staple of classic rock radio. The song also reached number-one in Canada.[1]

Seger has stated that the street he was singing about is Ann Street, just off Main Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he grew up. There was a pool hall there where they had girls dancing in the window and R&B bands playing on the weekends.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstreet_(song)

FEATURING ROCKIN' SHIRLEY

It's been a pleasant challenge to craft Mark's adlibed voice.

Tried finger drumming... moments of 3/4, others 4/4... then I remembered Franco Battiato singing about 7/8 measures in Brittish folk, and... why not?

Similar doubts about the chords, I finally built a sliding harmony using groups of notes found along the vocal line.

Many laboratory hours after I got something friendly; time to jam brainlessly a pair of guitars which made some organic company to the voice.

Great temptation of singing with Mark, but I finished the vocal edition by building a final choir instead ;)

Hope you'll enjoy, and peace be with you all !!

The Parting Glass (with Markjbennett)

Music is the only step that combines the abstract to the concrete.
Antonin Artaud (Source unknown)

I want to tell you something about me. I will not be long.
I'm always looking for the best way to express what's inside me.
I live a normal life
I never paid attention to appear better than I am.
Moody emotional and complex, are three adjectives that describe me best.
Mine is an ongoing investigation.
A desire, an emotion, a shock, a fight, a note, a song, a phrase ...

Music is the harmony of the soul.
Alessandro Baricco, Castles of anger, 1991

The progressive is the only label that I would bring.
I love to travel between all the nuances of sound from electronic to acoustic.

Genesis, Area, Van der Graaf Generator, but Arjen Lucassen, Mike Patton, Kevin Moore, or Herbie Hancock or Louis Armstrong and even Massive attack Ozric Tentacles .... some of my influences.

I always shared my music for free with anyone

I hope you have not lost too much time to read these few lines.

I do not think you are interested in my music studies, the band in which I played or festivals in which I participated.
La musica è il solo passaggio che unisca l'astratto al concreto.

ITALIANO

Antonin Artaud (Fonte sconosciuta)

Voglio parlarvi un pò di me. Non ci metterò molto.
Porto nel cuore le mie origini meridionali,sempre alla ricerca del modo migliore per esprimere quello che ho dentro.
Lavoro, ho una famiglia e una vita normale. 
Non ho mai badato ad apparire migliore di quello che sono. 
Lunatico emotivo e complesso,sono tre aggettivi che mi descrivono meglio. 
La mia è una ricerca continua .
Un desiderio, un'emozione, uno shock, uno scontro, una nota, una canzone, un fraseggio... 

La musica è l'armonia dell'anima. 
Alessandro Baricco, Castelli di rabbia, 1991

Il progressive è l'unica etichetta che mi sento di portare.
 Amo viaggiare tra tutte le sfumature del suono che sia elettronico o acustico. 

Genesis , Area, Van der Graaf Generator, ma anche Arjen Lucassen, Mike Patton , Kevin Moore, oppure Herbie Hancock o Louis Armstrong e anche Massive attack Ozric Tentacles .... alcune delle mie influenze.

Non ho mai rinunciato a condividere la mia musica con chiunque volesse condividerla. 

Spero di non averti fatto perdere troppo tempo nel leggere queste poche righe.

Non credo tu sia interessato ai miei studi musicali, alle band a cui ho suonato o ai festival a cui ho partecipato.

Qualora tu fossi interessato a ulteriori informazioni o a collaborare con il mio progetto, 
ecco tutti i miei contatti
