Mix of Italian ambient/minimalist/avant-garde music, mostly emanating from institutions supporting the visual arts in cities like Milan and Rome: theatre production soundtracks, video installations and architectural studies.

Music Interiors Vol. 2: Interni Italiani

i traveled the distance baby
& i just had 2 let you know
you light up my spaceship baby
they're playin' our song on the radio

you smell like a cat in heat
& that's the kinda smell that i like
you knock me offa my feet
i'm crawlin' on the ground but that's alright

your hair could change the orbit of the planets
& your smile could make me lose my mind
i try to distract myself but i'm thinkin' about you all the time

you sink your teeth in me & your claws are diggin' into my back
i look into those eyes & i know i'm never goin' back

we're flyin' at warp speed and you know your skin it feels so right
you light up my spaceship baby
excuse me while i fuck the sky

You Light Up My Spaceship

why don't you come over?
I'm taking a nap
I'll leave the door unlocked
so you can sneak in and spoon me
the walls are so thin that
I can hear the neighbors
every time they sneeze
can they hear me when I sing about them

do you think they mind?
do you think they mind it?
do you think they mind?
do you think they mind it?

donuts for breakfast
so much for your diet
but we are on our way
to the town where you grew up and we're late
sex on your parents' bed
I will have to pass
I know you want it bad
but I don't even have to ask

do you think they'd mind?
do you think they'd mind it?
do you think they mind?
do you think they mind it?

PDA OK
gotta public ambitions
gotta sense of exhibitions
wishing for money to spend on my love
gonna take you to the movies
gonna kiss you in the dark

do you think they mind?
do you think they mind it?
(when we're in love)
do you think they mind?
do you think they mind it?
do you think they mind?
do you think they mind it?
(when we're in love)
do you think they mind?
do you think they mind it?

do you think they mind

Donna bought another crop top, it's September
She's kinda in denial about seasons and the weather
And money in her bank account, it's not getting better
And neither are her sleeping habits, but she's like whatever

So I got up on the wrong side of the bed
Don't mean that you can talk to me that like that

Bobby goes to therapy twice a month
This week's about the fight he had with his mom
His therapist said he did a good job
At saying what he needed to 'cause it's hard when it's his mom

So I got up on the wrong side of the bed
Don't mean that you can talk to me that like that
So I got up on the wrong side of the bed
Don't mean that you can talk to me that like that
So I got up on the wrong side of the bed
Don't mean that you can talk to me that like that
So I got up on the wrong side of the bed
Don't mean that you can talk to me that like that

crop top season

real rough demo of a new tune to prove that I still play music
