SHADOW.   Feat Stepa.K

In “Frammenti di Baudelaire”, Gastaldi explores the depths of the literary and philosophical thought of the great French poet Charles Baudelaire, creating a dramatic, mysterious, and tragic melody. The song reflects the human condition and represents a deep inner search that culminates in a message of hope: only through awareness of the wounds and cracks of the world can we find the way to healing. The composition is a tribute to the French author and pushes the limits of melodic experimentalism.

LYRIC

On the morning of July fifth
Year of seventeen seventy six
Did our fathers - our forefathers -
Wonder what first to fix

We the people it was stated
In declaring ourselves free
If you owned land as a white man
You were counted in that ‘we’

A new nation on that morn 
Saw its first sunrise 
A union by agreement 
Forged in trial and compromise

Each July 4, we grill hotdogs
And shoot fireworks across the skies
The next day we’re left with ashes
And a dream to realize
From July 5 1776

July 5, 1776

This was originally a song I wrote at the start of the pandemic called "Wait for Summer". I've remixed it and reworked it for non-pandemic times.

Lyrics:

The winter path has been so dark
Fear of the other left its mark
In many ways the view is stark.
Spring might be all about the rain
It falls in many forms of pain
And effort may seem all in vain.

But we’re all filled with summer and the
Days of walking in the light,
We will greet one another on the path that’s dazzling bright,
We are all here together making music in the night
Forming stars from the shadows and the twilight.

With every friend a pact is made
To help the ones who are afraid,
And words of calm keep fears away.
A simple conversation now
Will rest the mind and soothe the brow,
Resolve to carry on somehow.

We are all filled with summer and the
Days of walking in the light,
We will greet one another on the path that’s dazzling bright,
We are all here together making music in the night,
Forming stars from the shadows and the twilight.

Bright voices sing to us from windows in the sky
Sometimes we hear them when we try.
Our summer choruses respond to them over time,
Their recognition is sublime.

We are all filled with summer and the
Days of walking in the light,
We will greet one another on the path that’s dazzling bright,
We are all here together making music in the night
Forming stars from the shadows and the twilight.

Filled with Summer

OMGG Band has always cherished the timeless beauty of 1950s music, jazz, Motown, and doo-wop. Growing up in families where music—especially classical and jazz—was integral, these genres have profoundly influenced their musical journey. With deep respect for composer Bart Howard and the iconic performances by Frank Sinatra, they present their rendition of the classic "Fly Me to the Moon." The song was carefully arranged, recorded, and mixed to capture the authentic sound of its era, as if you were hearing it played from a vintage vinyl record. The warm, rich tones, subtle analog imperfections, and classic big band jazz mix create an atmosphere that transports you back to the golden age of jazz, making it feel like a timeless recording from the 1950s.This version reflects OMGG Band's unique style while honoring the song's rich legacy. Special thanks to The Big Time Jazz Band in Helsinki for their magnificent backing, and to Gigi, OMGG's vocalist trained in jazz and opera, who delivers a heartfelt performance. The song was constructed and mixed to sound to the era, like you would receive it played out of an  We hope you enjoy this tribute!

Lyrics
Got myself ready for a big night out
Shined up my shoes a new Italian shirt
I see her across the room I try to catch her eye
She gives a little smile as she drinks her wine

So I move across and sit by her and buy her a drink
We compare our spray on tans and we compare ink
Get your coat you've pulled and we go back to mine
But I've drank too much so she finds it's a waste of time

When will I ever learn
I'm like a moth to a flame going back again and again

But like falling off a bike you get back on
So I'm out again for the same again and the search for fun
I hit 13 bars I drink in every one
So it's unsurprising that I finish on my own

When will I ever learn
I'm like a moth to the flame 
Going back again and again

It wasn't meant to be like this
I had a home I had a wife and kids
But the bottle took a hold of me and it never left
Unlike everything and everyone else

When will I ever learn
I'm like a moth to the flame going back again and again 

Woke up this morning on my own again
My head is gonna burst
And I feel like hell.............

13 Bars (Moth To The Flame)

An angry piano improvisation became the basis of this EP. I ditched the whole thing for a month because it was so disturbing to me. But it became a "found" piece of music, so now you get to hear it.
