Shot Of Life

http://www.franccinelli.com

Meet me on the corner of devotion and blind faith
underneath the street lights we’ll talk a while 

and the heatwave gets closer

stacks of trepidations like mountains we both climb
upon every word the weight of the world it carries      

and the heatwave gets closer

Closer in you
Closer in I 
Closer than war paint on skin
ready ready
ready to go
I’m ready ready
ready to go 
somewhere where i’ve never been 


Let’s drive on through the golden fields of st desire 
and warm to the climate that we find 
it aint easy to know how long this will hold but you keep on pulling me in 

and the heatwave gets closer

Closer in you
Closer in I 
Closer than war paint on skin
ready ready
ready to go
I’m ready ready
ready to go
somewhere that i’ve never been
Closer in I 
Closer than war paint on skin


and the heatwave gets closer

Closer in you
Closer in I 
Closer than war paint on skin
ready ready
ready to go
I’m ready ready
ready to go
somewhere where i’ve never been
ready ready
ready to go
yeah ready ready
ready to go
somewhere where i’ve never been

eh yeah yeah yeah
eh yeah yeah yeah

Closer than war paint on skin

eh yeah yeah yeah
eh yeah yeah yeah

Closer than war paint on skin

WAR PAINT

Fat Charlie Sings The Blues

Following 2022’s “Thanks, I’ll Have Mine To Go” album of instrumental ambient vignettes, folk troubadour Franc Cinelli returns with a series of single releases starting with “Everybody’s Got A Reason”, on September 15th, 2023
“For me, this is a song that celebrates individuality. I was curious to see what would happen if i brought together two musical worlds that i love : folk & ambient music. The organic rootsy acoustic guitar isn’t an obvious partner to granular soundscapes but hopefully its a one of a kind fit. It creates a silent conversation within the words of the song and that excites me a great deal! I hope people will enjoy the song and find something in it for them.”
A troubadour at heart with a sentimental soul, Franc Cinelli is on a timeless journey of self- discovery and expression. Hailing from Rome, the London-based singer/songwriter, producer, and composer long ago dedicated himself to capturing slices of life in song. It’s a commitment he’s embraced through six albums that have not only built upon on another in sound and style, but also endeavoured to tell stories that transcend time and place. Alongside his work as touring recording artist, Franc produces independent artists at his London based Song Circle Studio and composes music for visual storytellers.

Franc Cinelli is an Italian songwriter based in London, England.
His new album The Marvel Age shows an artist continuing a determined path, not afraid to take chances and experiment. At its core this is a folk record, but its use of rhythms, the twists and turns in the arrangements with their vibrant colours and haunting undertones, create something much more. The extensive 12-month tour promoting his last record I Have Not Yet Begun To Fight, which gave birth to this new album, saw him playing shows across UK, Europe and North America. Including sold out shows in New York and London, along with a televised performance at the Blue Note in Milan and two shows at the Royal Albert Hall. He’s gathered support from BBC Radio 2 to WFUV in New York and everywhere in between. The Marvel Age is out now on SongCircle Records.

Franc Cinelli - Travelling Alone

Working on my new record and in need of a little inspiration, I trawled through the boxes under my bed and found Compact Discs, Tapes and vinyls full of my songs . So before  moving forward, allow me to glance back. I've decided to put together a collection of my favourite tracks along with a brand new song, John Giles. I’ve called this collection, Journey Under Moonshine.
You can stream for free on the left. If you’d like a personalized CD of the collection email me and I’ll be happy to put one together and post it to you (feel free to click the donate button if you wish to pay*). I’d like to thank all the musicians and producers whom I worked with along the way. And thank you for listening... then, now and in the future.

 
All journeys have a starting place. My first proper stab at songwriting bore a fruit  in the form of a white label 7” single, Moonshine. Released under the band name, The Beetroot Band, the 7” was heavy, potato stamped and was beautiful. I remember the drive to Heathrow in my mini to pick up the records, being delivered from the Czech Republic, with such an immense feeling of joy & anticipation... an incredible buzz! This was followed a year later with another 7" single Baby You're A Rich Girl / Smile released on Atlantic Records / Ultimate Dilemma under Franc;  this release has a very special place in my heart as it opened up some doors for what I still love doing the most, being on the road. Claire Sturgess gave it a few spins on Xfm, again that was a "mini moment", driving back for band practice hearing my tune on the radio for the first time; a special moment indeed; Baby You're A Rich Girl also appeared,on my first album  Take It And Run, the next two songs are taken from it, Picking Up & Step Back From The Roes, which is the only song I have ever co-written; Ron McElroy who is still rockin & rolling with me.  Listening back to these first songs I'm taken back at how different I sound and how I'm very much finding my voice and learning how to put songs together. 
I hit the road, touring America and Europe as well as the UK several times., ‘Glue’ was my next adventure in story telling; I put out this album under the name Goodtimes Goodtimes; Summer , Desire and Sea Shanty are all from that record. I wanted to work outside the "normal" band framework I'd been used to and give each song it's own voice. To my great pleasure it was really well received amongst bloggers and indie radios, so off I went again on the road again travelling through America and soaking up my record collection first hand; getting the opportunity to play in Tennesse & Texas were enormous experiences, some of which even made it onto the next record. Now whilst preparing for the record, I was trying out a few things and the next three songs; The Rescue, Eloise (both featuring the handy work of my long time sparring partner & guitarist Ivor Sims) and Never Going Back are from those sesions. The next four tracks are from the next LP, coincidentally called ‘Goodtimes Goodtimes’ released under Franc Cinelli; Get Ready, Magic Hour, Love and Sweet England - making this record is a highlight to my story so far and these are my favourite songs from it.  I learnt so much putting this record together . I was very happyly  surprised to see Fortune Teller Song get the support it did, I didnt expect a country song about a carnie conman to get played on the radio amongst pop acts. I've never seen myself fit into that bracket, but it was fun & unexpected. 
 To close us off I've chosen a song only finished last week, ‘John Giles’,  John Giles was a prisoner at Alcatraz Prison who tried to escape in 1945. I was drawn to his story immediately and one I had to tell.  The band's now been christened and we are "Franc Cinelli & The Tumbling Dice"; I do like to keep things moving.
 
I hope you enjoy this compilation; and if you want a copy on CD I'll be glad to send you a copy and some of the releases from which these songs were first released are also available. Send me an email for details.

"Rave On" is a folksome glide through dreamy days and lonesome nights.
From the LP "Night Songs" http://www.franccinelli.com

Rave on 

I played the rambling man 
From autumn frost to summer greens
“rave on, sweet wanderlust”
I sang up to the sky 

You came around with a golden smile 
Pretty red dress, stay a while 
A simple bliss of wine and bread
Like two black birds in the cherry tree

You‘ll be my clumsiest year
A mistake I’ll hold so dear 
As day turns night the change came fast
You took your love away

One day but not just now 
I’ll look back, look back and laugh 
From a hurt I’d never known
Comes the joy of letting go 

My lines define who I was
Who I am and who I’ll be 
Now when the world turns upside down 
I grace the silence 
Again I’ll play the rambling man
Adventures new, all mine to breathe 
“Rave on, sweet wanderlust” 
I sing up to the sky

Franc Cinelli - Rave On

A Bigger Picture

Following the release of the critically acclaimed “Night Songs” album in September 2019, Franc Cinelli returns with the first in a series of monthly single releases. 
“Here In My Heart” was recorded this August at Washoose Studio in South Lanarkshire with producer Dr. Bone (John Martyn - Glasgow Walker album producer). About the track, Franc notes “"I wrote this song during lockdown, inspired by the space between us and comforted by the truth that distance can never keep us apart.”
