WRONG WAY

MY HEART BLEEDS FOR HER

Verse: Dm,G,Bb,C  X2
Chorus: Dm, Bb  X2

I’m lost without her love
For I’ve loved her for so long
She says she doesn’t want me
For in her life I don’t belong

I’d give her everything she wants
But she wants what I can’t give
I’m a man and that’s the barrier
My love must die so that she can live

My heart bleeds for her…. X2

[BREAK]

I’m lost now that I think the truth
For I’m in love with her
She was all I ever lived for
Every day, every month, every year

I don’t know what to say to her
Should I stay or should I go
I’m torn between reason and feeling
For in the end I just do not know

My heart bleeds for her…. X2

[BREAK]

Missing

LYRICS

you can turn your back light on now everybody’s gone 
the spiders in the shed have been lonely too long 

in your garden in the rain trying to place a name 
on the dying bugs as they drown in your brain 

where the sun is high 
with the birds in the sky 
and you won’t leave your chair 
because you don’t know how to fly 

but we won’t grow wings if we don’t even try 

soon autumn leaves will fall but we can’t cry for them all 
and there’s a dying bird behind a concrete wall 

now you’ve sent the blues away the yellows have come to stay 
and though you don’t look scared it doesn’t feel that way 

if you die in your dream 
tell me how does it seem 
to have to relive the pain 
that’s already been 
though it may hurt now time will wash the slate clean 

as the time starts to drag 
all your pretty flowers sag 
and your hobo boots 
poke through their plastic bag 

did you think you could wipe them off with a back garden rag

Back Garden Rag

Remix by The Echelon Effect.

Watch the official video here: youtu.be/X7pnbDBBFcU

The single WAVES was performed and mixed by Francesco Berta in London, the vocal layers were written and recorded by singer Anne Van Den Hoogen in Amsterdam and the EP was mastered by John Webber at the legendary Air Studios in London.

“When I made some people listen to a preview of the track they were surprised, they told me it was beautiful yet different from everything I did before. But on one level, I must never lose touch with my audience. But I must, at some point, stop trying to get everybody to like me, and be true to my musical soul, to what I feel and I have to say. It’s a challenging moment to live as an artist and composer because these days everyone is writing music on his laptop. Music making has become accessible to almost everyone, that’s why it’s important to find what defines you, and chase it”.

The official video is directed by Isaac Madge, a writer, director & filmmaker based in West Sussex & London, passionate about low budget filmmaking and telling stories that really make an impact.

The video is starring Lucy Elizabeth Anderson and Joe James.

“The video is inspired by the true story of a friend of mine” says Francesco “she’s suffering a form of dissociative disorder. When I told Isaac this story he jumped on board straight on, and he did an amazing job portraying that reality. Also the actors are young but terrific and spontaneous, I’m really satisfied by the overall work”.

the wake

AL001. 24th June 2016. Realm Of Consciousness.  

Afterlife and Tale Of Us are proud to announce ‘Realm Of Consciousness’, a 10-piece compilation
expanding the Afterlife totality into a label. The label and events will complement each other with one
aim; to bring the crowd into another dimension of music perception with enthralling production to that
ignite the senses.
The ‘Realm Of Consciousness’ voyage commences with Tale Of Us’ Lies - a fitting introduction with
quivering keys and restrained percussion that engenders an ominous suspense ahead of Monoloc’s
enigmatic industrial techno crunch, Phoenix. Shifting through the haunting chords of Recondite’s dynamic
Murphy’s Law, to the brooding synth of Poseidon by Ukrainian duo Woo York, the realisation of Afterlife
utopia is upon us. The repetitive, mesmerising synth and effective reverb that Somne creates with Triangle
is an odyssey within itself. From there, John Hester’s expertly woven ‘Logan’ is a feverish techno stab that
transverses through the emotional senses, transitioning to Locked Groove’s adroitly crafted Emeralds, to
Ryan James Ford’s ambient, albeit percussive, techno cut Toree Bahrstad. Die Wiederkehr is the outcome
of Obscure Shape & SHDW’s collaboration, which incorporates facets of techno and trance that have
been shaped with real guile and finesse. Mind Against round off the compilation with Gravity - a
mystifying ambience and a fitting title as we touch back down to planet earth.

I'm To Blame

The Freedom Run

Francesco is an Italian born music composer, pianist and visual artist. 

In the first ten years of his career Francesco has been able to collect a substantial list of wide-ranging achievements: from conducting his own music in the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London to releasing an impressive number of albums as a solo artist; scoring movies and documentaries to directing award-winning short films.

Francesco’s work ethic is second to none, but his greatest asset is, undoubtedly, his unconditional love for film: having a bachelor’s degree in Film Technology and a burning desire to create stories that will stand the test of time.

Drawn to simplicity and driven by a fanatical attention to detail, Francesco creates music that blurs the lines between ambient, electronic and orchestral.

His instinctive use of acoustic instruments combines the elegance of traditional orchestration with complex, electronic landscapes, melding into emotive and exquisitely elegant hybrid-orchestral compositions.

Francesco’s music takes listeners on a passionate journey through images and emotions, creating stories and shaping memories.
