OKNOTOK

Radiohead - I Promise (Cover by Paolo Pace)

Dirtier Blonde - Alone Tonight (featuring Kirsten Collins)

This is a song I made dedicated to my nonno <3 He passed 2 years back. He was a remarkable man. He was all about peace, love and harmony, always tending to his garden and always taking care of his loved ones. This one's for you nonno! Pace e amore <3 

Lyrics:
I played for you on every Monday 
Played you songs and sang you melodies 

Stashed away inside a cave not far from home 
And I'll play to this empty room and hope you hear 

Sang for you on every Monday 
One last song and one last melody 

But still, I'll play to this empty room and hope you hear
And I'll try to shed some light on darkness 

Allow only the good to reign in you 
And act so that only the good reigns 
I'll live by what you lived for here on Earth 

Pace e amore
Sogni d'oro, nonno

LYRICS:
When the moon comes up
These voices in my head won't go away
My cold shadow's fallen
No whole earthly eyes
Shutdown, I'm out of my mind

But they say I'm filled with wonder
I've got this power within
Come closer
I've got this power
If you wanna see under my skin

Keep holding memories that disappear
When the siren calls to me
We looked far and wide
Blaming our designs
Searching for a way to set me free

I feel the slow current cutting deep
I wanna know
What's my meaning?

Come right over to the edge
And feel it all alone
I wanna tie our little ties together
Keep each other close
Let's lay down and wait until it pulls us in

But they say I'm filled with wonder
I've got this power within
Come closer
I've got this power
It illuminates under my skin

Keep holding memories that disappear
When the siren calls to me
We looked far and wide
Blaming our designs
Searching for a way to set me free

Wisp away my heart now siren
Take me to the dark side siren

This dream's destructive
Knowing what I know
You must not get close to me... no...
Pull apart my parts
I want to feel again
Machine in body
But human in mind

Siren

smarturl.it/floatpointUTNS

Lyrics:
Stand up for your rights 
No time to wait 
Find your voice 
It's time to scream 

Open the gates that block your way 
Plant the seed for free 

They've got the zeros stacking up 
All of the power 
All the luck 

Locked in a box with lies and hate 
Hope someday they find the key 

I don't know how I'm still trapped in here 
What a strange time 
Time to face my fears 

Beyond these walls 
Questions remain 
But I cannot answer anything 
Until the noise stops

Until the noise stops 
Until the noise 

Until the noise stops 
Until the noise stops 

Until the noise stops 
No time to wait 
Stand up

'Until the Noise Stops' is about fighting for your rights in the face of adversity. It’s about the feeling of isolation and indifference that comes from living as a minority in an oppressive reality you can’t escape, but must.

I initially learned this on guitar, and was going to post it as such. But then... I learned it on ukulele, and started playing it slower.. I'm a sucker for the ukulele sound, so here's my version of a timeless classic by Bright Eyes!

Take care friends <3

I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning

Bright Eyes - First Day Of My Life (cover by Paolo Pace)

The breakdown at 2:17 is god tier

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
𝕃𝕪𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕤

Crawling inside are these scars
Memories break me apart
Only live with a black heart
Comfortable with all these stars

Definitely wont have to close your eyes
Definitely wont have to stop the light
Definitely wont have to shut you mind
Cause your mind is blank and your grave is hollow woah

We cremated you like its an art
There's no way that I will stay
and the days arrive at ya
In the realms of the demons never set you apart
We crave the deep scars crave the deep scars woah

Lalala
Woah
Igniting while while we slay
Blood drips again
Love is the way you lose your soul
Surrender

Crawling inside are these scars
Memories break me apart
Only live with a black heart
Comfortable with all these stars

There's no way that I will stay
and the days arrive at ya
Lalala

You'll never find us
We sever skylines
The planets erupt
Seen death in our time

Shut it down 
Break it down
In around
Come around
And spinin' all around

And the days arrive at ya
Crawling inside are these scars
Memories break me apart
Only live with a black heart
Comfortable with all these stars
Comfortable with all these stars
Ripping it all apart

Crawling inside are these scars
You'll never find us
Memories break me apart
We sever skylines
Only live with a black heart
The Planets Erupt
Comfortable with all these stars

I am the moon
Sailor Saturn
Now it's your turn to die
There's no way that I will stay
and the days arrive at ya

lyrics:
i like holding your hand
but it hurts oh i can't stand
to see you
to feel you
my insides are turning blue

i like the way that you walk
sometimes i wish you'd never stop
my heart aches
my bones break
with each little move you make

i can't help
i can't really help it
you make me feel like

you're waiting for the next best thing
something had to change
a girl you'd give a diamond ring
it's kinda hard to explain
i'm not mad that you don't adore me
wish you told me
but when i'm with you i feel lonely 
oh

i've been staring outside
spare time was thinking i could find
where leaves blow
where the weeks go
when the snow comes to dampen your fall

far from the life that we knew
months hutle by and i barely see you
so i've been down
dumb as it sounds
when you're with me you're somebody else 

i can't help
i can't really help it
you make me feel like

you're waiting for the next best thing
something had to change
a girl you'd give a diamond ring
it's kinda hard to explain
i'm not mad that you don't adore me
wish you told me
but when i'm with you i feel lonely 

oh you're waiting for the next best thing
say hi to your friends
the table won't know what to bring
nice to see you again
your intentions are so damn hazy
though it pains me
i wish you'd let your guard get lazy
oh

Next Best Thing (feat. Vansire)

I'm Paolo Pace, AKA Float Point. 

I'm a singer-songwriter/producer and I usually make sad stuff, but every now and then a song you can headbang to. 

Here in the Soundcloud universe, I'll be posting my singles/albums, as well as covers and musical ideas along the way.

thanks for being here. <3 Let's explore sound...
