Creative music and good quality, reminds me to old progressive rock, I like it

Your music is quite special, I envision it would be the perfect soundtrack to a terminally ill Robot's last day on earth riding a cloud high on LSD.

so many interesting sounds here, great instrumental variations - real prog

Coincidentally I was listening to Zappa's guitar trilogy -shut up and play yer guitar- and this fits just right into this. Both of you are multi-instrumentalists, so creativity scores big time here, cool work.

Nice stuff you have. BTW I have always been a fan of Italian progressive rock bands. Like PFM of course.

Nice stuff! BTW, I love Italian progressive rock bands like PFM of course.

Sonnet 18: - Shall I Compare Thee-
By William Shakespeare.

Voice: Speedenza: https://freesound.org/people/Speedenza/
Music: flowermouth.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Shall I Compare Thee (feat. Speedenza)

Dedicated to Ukrainian POWs held in captivity by russians

Another face, another prayer 
another joy of a playboy
thinking back to the night before
claiming for a little bit more
another blade, a new pain, hand- made
just wanna change but I haven't paid
bad choice for riskin' it all
sorry for that, I think i'll lose control

Come closer baby
I want more more more 
Go away lady
I see smoke smoke smoke (smoke smoke smoke)
Now choke me baby
I can't breath anymore (I can't breath anymoreee)
Now leave me alone lady
with this Bipolar Love


sometimes I punch it and then
sometimes I kiss you
it's not alright cause
i don't know if I miss you
You think I'm gone cause I left
But it was you doing that
if you decide to leave me
I will ride for death

Come closer baby
I want more more more
Go away lady
I see smoke smoke smoke
Now choke me baby
I can't breath anymore
Now leave me alone lady
with this Bipolar Loveeeee

now that you're gone
all that is left is your scent (all that is left is your scent)
more it burns more I want it
to end all the moments we spent yeahh (all moments we spent)
pouring some Jack's, tryin to get you out of my head ( get you out of me)
how can I even pretend that I didn't like your flesh?

SOLO

stay with me
it's a rollercoaster 
this Bipolar Love 
you're the storm and calm
in the chaos of my heart
and i cant get enough 

Come closer baby
I want more more more
Go away lady
I see smoke smoke smoke
Now choke me baby
I can't breath anymore
Now leave me alone lady
with this Bipolar Love

7. INDECISION (Music: Roberts/Read - Lyrics: Nagel/Stannard)

indecision - my patient and methodical friend / i guess you want to see me again / not sure if i should let you in / i envision you’ll seduce me with your hesitant charm / decelerate me ‘til i’m disarmed / give me time to reflect upon // i wrote this line a million times / don’t know why it hurts so much to make up my mind // a division cuts me straight along the here and the now - / you’ve paralysed my heart with doubt / relentlessly allegiant throughout this transition / from youthfulness and naiveté / to middle-aged anxiety (and the vacillations in between) // i rehearsed this life a million times / don’t know why i can’t commit
to saying goodbye // talking to myself as I’m walking by the river / catch a glimpse of my reflection / as it shimmers, my mirror image shimmers within it / sunrays glimmer on my face and the waves distort my face in a way that makes me pray the sky ain’t the limit / happy feelings found me and surround me now I’m not living with it / used to drink rounds to drown sorrows / now I allow myself to buy what I like and sip it / a glass of ice with a double measure of any given spirit / drifting as fluidly as the newest beats / lip-synching as the music seems to speak to me more than the lyrics / incredibly it’s telling me that nothing’s finished / that bad attitude had to move, so I killed it / here’s to new beginnings: new starts, new suns, new stars / and how I’m gonna get used to living / and pray people get used to the difference //
i wrote this line a million times / don’t know why i can’t commit and make up my mind / i rehearsed this life a million times / don’t know why it hurts so much to tell you goodbye

SHAKE THESE TREES (Music: Roberts/Read - Lyrics: Nagel)

if there is aught that can release a better dawn / then let it shake these trees and sing / “action is eloquence” // sister, mother / father, brother / friend or stranger / we need each other /hands above your head where i can see / hands up, get down on your knees / hands above your head where i can see / hands up, get down on your knees // (shake these trees) / hey don’t touch me / i’m minding my own business  / (shake these trees) / hey don’t touch me / hey don’t touch me / 'cause i’m down on my knees / got no weapon / just trying to get home / got no weapon on me // got my hands up and i’m on my knees / got
my hands up, i can’t breathe / got my hands up and i’m underneath / got them up but i can’t breathe // (shake these trees) / hey don't touch me / stop resisting / (shake these trees) / we can end this / stop resisting // muscle, blood, spit, bone - ambition, guilt, breath, brain / imagination, vulnerability, hope – weakness, rage, trust, pain / hustle, hatred, love - silence – so much fear / what makes us human? / and what makes us unspeakable?

If This Is the End

Shake these trees

Shake These Trees

Hi , here Franco Sonaglia ,  independant  musician and lyrics composer, guitar player,  bass player, singer, arranger. I live  in Fabriano - Italy  (also I was born here in 1966).   My musical roots are tied to english progressive rock from the seventies.  From the age of 11 I started listening to such a complex and charming music that  Genesis, YES, King Crimson, UK, Pink Floyd produced in those years.   Living in a small town I haven't had the opportunity to find musical partners to build a progressive-rock band.  From the late eighties the "new" computer-era have made possible to express in autonomy my vein of music compositor .  My first compositions (not published on this site) were performed using some old multitracking gear available at the time (PC plus   Tape to sync for MIDI). Finally in the nineties the computers have become powerful enough to manage MIDI and audio together.  It was at that time that my  home studio was re-designed and a full sets of (more professional) equipments was gradually gathered.  My activity tends to be out of the "main stream" because I follow such a strange utopia  that plays like  "you exist to serve music, is not the  music that exists to serve you"  (though it was a concept already in my brain I admit that  I read the previous adage in the Bill Bruford's biography ...  and Jamie Muir told him the same adage before).   So, if a miracle won't happen, my activity in music will be just an hobby and my music will be a gift for my sons (all my music is Trademarked by SIAE) or just a souvenir for my descendants!!    Since I have not any type of constraints or ambitions of career, I make music in freedom no matter  how much crazy or conformist can sound time by time. Depending on the "spirit" of composition it will be complex or pop, but (I hope) always original or intriguing for who will have the patience to listen.  I hope you'll enjoy my music.   . Franco .
