Look at the rocks
The rising glow, my my
And I'll be your man
Take my hand, my my
On the mountain
That we climb
Bound for glory
At the edge of time
My my

Father of the tribe
Walks on Mars, my my
Mighty stone
Will turn to dust, my my
Mountain gods
The wind and rain
What you said
"Never live in vain"
My my

Slow moving engines
Hittin' it hard, my my
Crack of the hammers
'Bout to ring, my my
Oh Ivy
Smell the lightning
Penny-sized hail
We left behind
My my

Break in the storm
The clouds are gone, my my
And I see you see
You're my world, my my
Before the gods
We said, "I do"
Gave their blessing
The skies were blue
My my
My my

My My

Stillness

Barnacles

GORGO & TANGO

Giorni trascorsi rivolto nel fango
il freddo scalfisce la pelle vissuta
la sua voce affonda nell'indifferenza
ritenuto sporco, quasi un esser di troppo

La vita che sfugge velocemente
prima di gustarne a fondo il piacere
un colpo di polso, baglior di pugnale
dichiarano Gorgo
martire maiale

Se c'è un sentimento 
Non capisco il senso
di questo mondo che gira in un cerchio
di fuoco sbiadito, l' umanità

Echi lontani di terre africane
nel bianco rumore di un laboratorio
senza una madre, senza un abbraccio
un mesto destino attende ormai Tango

Se c'è un sentimento 
Non capisco il senso
di questa terra in cui regna il sonno
per farsi beffe di chi non è un re

A concludere questa storia
sono io coi miei bisogni
necessità, libero arbitrio
ho reso il mondo un vero schifo
La corsa è senza fine
Si deve andare avanti
l'orango ed il maiale in fondo
sembran solo degli avanzi

Gorgo & Tango

It's the Fourth ("IV") because this song has seen many permutations, and I've raided this pattern for bits of other tracks — like "Hope" on my last album. But it finally gets its due. I think it's about love or need or infatuation. Maybe even fear and admiration, but like, in a lightweight way.

Saturn IV

It's a play on the Kinks song 'A well respected man".

LYRICS
I was sitting in this cafe.
Almost 12 months to the day.
And I feel this hesitation.
About these hours I give away.

To be a well adjusted man you must be happy and serene.
A well adjusted man, you must have lots of dreams.

So I'm drinking lots of coffee.
And I'm waiting for my tea.
And I'm feeling sudden lowly.
Like there's nothing here for me

To be a well adjusted man you must be confident and smart.
A well adjusted man, won't take it all to heart.

Oh, I get up at ten thirty.
Cause I haven't had no sleep.
I just lay there feeling anxious.
With the fears inside of me.

To be a well adjusted man you must be rested and well fed.
A well adjusted man must put himself to bed.

Oh, there's blisters on my fingers.
So I cannot hold a pick.
And I'm putting up with bullshit,
Even though I'm sick of it. 

As a well adjusted man I just don't waste my breath.
A well adjusted man he gets an early death.



A Well Adjusted Man

Lullaby for Tomorrow

Album

A melody for Him

Directed by Vincenzo Perrone
Performed by Orchestra Sinfonica Metropolitana di Bari

The above piece is titled in a very creative way: Danza Latina n.2.
As the title might suggest to the most attentive, the song has to do with Latin America and its music. We take some distinctive traits of certain Argentine, Brazilian and Spanish music and mix them up with the taste of the typical Italian song.
It is a succession of descriptive moments: it is a short story, a modest piece that wants to talk about human feelings in a simple way.
