Not familiar with the original, but really enjoying this!

Very clever lyrics, delivered wonderfully in your vocal style.

Your beautifully plaintive version of this song brings home to me just how far down the tracks those days of vodka and caviar really are...

Wonderful song, great collaboration 💐 😍 🙏 🍀 🎶 🎧 

Such an interesting story, lyrics. Quite fascinating and beguiling. Lovely track and perfect collab with Phil. Durge

Well that's a brilliant song, haven't yet listened the original. this is gold

The magnificent Janine in one of her incredible vocal performances. Sensational vocal harmonies!

I like both versions... similar vocal timbre...

So this poor Rhodes has been having a hard life with me... not very compatible with tramway and train, standing in a room where normally nobody is, having been used as a stand for all sort of things... and the cat has been doing crazy stuff with it, too.

Digged it out, cleaned it, fidgeted with this grrr sustain pedal for some hours, welcome back my friend!

Daffodil

Huddled in a hallway making secret mindless chatter
A finger that points at you and the giggles that come after
Spreading all the latest news, those Lilliputians
Find their strength in number

Walk towards a noisy room, deathly quiet when you enter
Look across those shallow eyes that turn and smuggly whisper
Wait your turn in line, (I am waiting), but the teller
Shuts his wicket on your number

Had enough of this, small talk
The most useless information
Oh Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
When you're the last to know

Mutated seeds that snowball down the biggest mountains
Contaminated water flowing from never ending fountains
And it's carried on by all the empty lives
Living someone else's

Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse the situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
And you're the last to know

When you're the last to know
Small talk, enough of that, small talk, ya,
Small talk, enough of that, small talk
Small talk, enough of that, small talk

Small Talk

One for the Road

In this song I enclose everything I think about my work as an artist. Proceeding along risky paths, responding to violence with even more sensitivity, because sensitivity can truly move the world. Embrace your sensitivity and that of others, choose who you want to be and follow your nature, whatever the cost. 

Written and Performed by Stefano Manotti

Arrangement and mixing: Giulio Carmassi (ex-Pat Metheny group)

Executive production and mastering: Paolo Schianchi and OmniaMusica Recording Studio


TESTO

Comincia da qui questo viaggio nascosto
Con le altre paure del giorno
Che ho lasciato al loro posto
Una notte qui
Vale più di un silenzio
Per sentir la chitarra suonare
Come in braccio a cento persone
Libero così dalle mie leggi
E dalla mente che dalla sua amplifica i rimpianti
Libero così dalle tue leggi
Ho passato troppo tempo per parlarti

Lo so
Quella è la via
Io sto di fianco
Con la mia fantasia
E quel che sarà
Non è roba mia
Non è roba mia

Finisce da qui
Un bel viaggio scomposto
Non si posson tirare le somme
Non si può vedere a che costo

Solo questo ti dico
Se sei nato per qualcosa
Tornerai ogni volta
Sulla strada più rischiosa

Libero così dai compromessi
Dalle parole messe lì per non esporsi
Libero così dai giochi fatti
Per sorprendermi ancora a cantare la vita

Lo so
Quella è la via
Io sto di fianco
Con la mia fantasia
E quel che sarà
Non è roba mia
Non è roba mia

Lo so
Quella è la via
Io sto di fianco
Con la mia fantasia
E quel che sarà
Non è roba mia
Non è roba mia



LYRICS

Begin from here, this hidden journey
With the other fears of the day
That I left in their place
One night from here
Is it worth more than silence
To hear the guitar play
As if embraced by a hundred people

Free like this from my laws
And from the mind that amplifies regrets
Free like this from your laws
I've spent too much time talking to you

I know it
That's the way
I stand by my fantasy
And what will be
It is not my concern
It's not my concern

It ends here
A disjointed journey
You can't add it all up
You can't see at what cost
Only this I tell you
If you were born for something
You'll return every time
To the riskiest road

Free like this from compromises
From words placed there to avoid exposure
Free like this from done deals
To surprise you again and sing life

Fantasia

A song that kinda glides into the atmosphere upon release !

fresh mastering by @phil-mcwalter  Feb 2021.  thank you Phil!

I once flew across America
Just holding a balloon
Discovered a buried treasure chest
Full of gold doubloon 
I walked into a hurricane
And found myself back home
On a wild white stallion
Galloping through foam

It’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train 

I sold my soul to a friendly gecko
Who left it on the bar
I ate a bag of sunshine
That exploded in my car
I flew with the Egyptian Gods
And travelled to the stars
And I dressed up like a Carnival King
With glitter in glass jars

It’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train
It’s not the truth
But sometimes it aint too far
Just the echoes of days
On vodka and caviar

Some days are
Much better than others
Some nights I
Don’t bother

t’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train
It’s not the truth
But sometimes it aint too far
Just the echoes of days
On vodka and caviar 

The walled up dust on a jester’s laugh
For a cask of sherry wine
The smell of sugar cane in the heat
The sun's incessant shine
Beat around my spinning head
A trail of petalled steps I said
Take me from the tower and sing
My songs around my bed

It’s not the truth
But sometimes you can’t complain
It’s just the wind
Through a window on a distant train
It’s not the truth
But sometimes it aint too far
Just the echoes of days
On vodka and caviar
Vodka and caviar
Vodka and caviar
