LYRICS 
The love we had
They call me mad
I lost a friend
There is nothing to be sad about
Across the land 
We'll meet again
Cause we're made of people we left
We'll dance again

Tell me why
You're afraid to shine
We're dynamite

It's way too high
The mountain you've inside 
Tonight

Whatever you do
I'll be a tune faraway
I know someday
You'll fall in love again
Sad Valentine
It's time to smile

I don't know
Where the people go
When they say goodbye

But I'm not that far
For all those broken hearts
Who wants to leave their mark

Whatever you do
I'll be a tune faraway
I know someday
You'll fall in love again
Sad Valentine
It's time to shine

Don't give back the love I gave to you
We're not made to walk on the moon
I'm just a fool
Who likes to cry and smile
At the same time

I'm not a man 
I'm dynamite

Influenced by psychedelic folk-rock, orchestral pop, cinematic funk and trip hop, her last album L’ultimo Cuore – The Last Heart, received rave reviews in her native Italy, where she was called ‘a pioneer of visionary sound’. Her original song-writing is highly personal and vivid, encapsulating the term ‘emotional rock’.

Harvey).
