diggin the posisitve vibe of this track, the colourful arrangement and catchy melody lines!

The title and middle chorus (the only lyrics in the song) came from the fact that after recording, i felt it needed another section, like a bridge, but got too lazy to find something to fit. Thus the line “I can’t find the bridge to New Funk City”. 

Still can’t find it.   ;O)

This can probably be considered the 3rd in a trilogy of tracks created almost entirely with short loops and sound samples in Garageband ('Dark Roast', and 'Sneaky Reggae' are the other 2). My part, besides the vocals and a bit of organ, clavinet playing, and drum fills, is arranging the pieces together into this song. Pretty fun experimenting this way.

***Warning: your toezies might get sore from all the tapping they’ll be doing.


lyrics / chorus:
"Everybody tells me I got to go
but I can't find the bridge to New Funk City"

As silent waters move
There's no layer left unstirred
These rivers tell a tale
of fleeting strife and jest
There's lightning on the sea
and it guides me back
  to the beach
  where I know 
  you could be reached

The lady of the lake
doesn't speak to me no more
I know my love was true
but she keeps closing doors
her name became a sign
when I turned the music on

The station has gone by
no turning back again
this train won't stop for none
of the reasons
  I think of
  When I think of you
  on the road
  where I could
  meet you again

Pleasure asks for dues
is it you or just your eyes
this war demands a truce
as I fear its tricks and lies

The land is dark and damp
but the road feels like a friend
soldiers passing through
on their way to a certain end
  that will come
  for all
  of us

I guess that I've been wrong,
misreading signs that weren't there
a disappering thought
that kept me occupied

---------------

I heard this story a long time ago
i heard it before, and now i am long gone

I faced my demons and now i'm back strong
not headstrong, at some point i was wrong

butterfingers, we lost control
we slipped away and run away

i cross my fingers, we won't mess it up 
again this time, i hope you'll be fine

you were so sloppy and gave it up
i hope you remember, that i was your crutch

next thing you know, was to lose control
and now you crawl, to save your soul

"METAMORFOSI" - the 5th and the title track from "Metamorfosi" album telling the story of a composer who wanted to write music for "Alice in Wonderland" and found herself falling through a rabbit hole opened in her piano. This track is the chapter where the Composer undergoes "metamorphosis", transforming into "Alice" to enter the "Metamorfosi" world.

---

This story is not about Alice. Although, we’ve all had Alice in our lives. As well as the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts and Jabberwocky, in one form or another. This story is about you. This story is about me.

My life has been swirling around Wonderland for a long time. I have two cats who are as mischievous as Cheshire’s smile. I have Mad Hatter for a husband, crazy enough to believe in three impossible things before breakfast and all day long, and even crazier to make them real. I have Tweedledee and Tweedledum for kids, complementing each other in curious ways. I have my own inner demons to fight against, be it the Red Queen or Jabberwocky.

Together with my Mad Hatter we’ve been playing this eternal chess game of Metamorphosis, transforming dreams into reality. We both felt like Alice’s story just wanted to hatch through our music into the wonder of this world. And it finally did, bending time and reflecting the sky. All we had to do is making the choice to follow the White Rabbit down the Rabbit Hole. It took us to places we’ve never been before. And this journey becomes Curiouser and Curiouser ever.

We are all mad here!
