Back them I was distracted
Never thought of turning back
But now 
when I think back on it
I smell a rat

Don't Stop

dedicata all' Uva Rossa, nel mio paese viene chiamata "UVA NERA" quindi da qui il titolo della canzone è "BLACK PEARLS". E' dedicata anche a tutte le persone che lavorano nelle vigne...

Black Pearls - DEMO

lyrics

Lights off - drunk driver
Foot on the pedal, no brakes will be heard tonight
Lights off - strange pains
Ain't win no medal
No plays will be made tonight

Things will change
Don't make a promise just cause you're down, tonight
Don't make a pact, don't make a deal
Just cause you're down, tonight
Down tonight

Gunning for my own head
Some wish I was dead
No words will be heard tonight

Jumping off the loan tower
Falling to my darkest hour
No bills tonight

I've made mistakes
But this just takes the cake
No anger will be seen tonight

Lights off - mean ways
Got my chevy going
It's painted red tonight
I'm down tonight

Things will change
Don't make a promise just cause you're down, tonight
Down tonight
Don't make a pact, don't make a deal
Just cause you're down, tonight
Down tonight

Down tonight
Down tonight

This song is about someone contemplating suicide but remembering that things WILL change and sometimes for the better

Down Tonight

This song is based on a guitar lick that I'm playing for many years. I never made a song with it, until now. 

All instruments and vocals played by me, except for the tenor sax, it's played by my brother Erik
I hope you like it!

Well you know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

Do we wait, for our fate to be determined for us
or can we steer ourselves in the direction that we want to go?

what is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret

Well  You know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

What is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret
Let's not regret.

Libretto:

"I'm swimming in the window.
God, let her in.
I'm swimming in the widow.
God, let me come in
To this flesh
System
Upside down.

Women 
Are the only 
Way in.

I'm scared, maman.
I'm so scared.

I'm swimming in you.

Listen now."

I'm Swimming In You

lyrics

You're so pretty the birds are singing
The sun is out but I, I can't catch a feeling
Feeling
I went to your show, the people were laughing
The people were clapping, you were crying
I couldn't catch a feeling

Oh Lord, Where do I go?
When I have no emotions?
I can't, I can't catch it
I can't catch a feeling
Can't catch a feeling

A plane went down in the middle of town
Killed a vet who was begging for change as a clown
I can't catch a feeling
I don't do drugs and I'm gluten free
But that don't stop people from gossiping about me
Can't catch a feeling 

Oh Lord, Where do I go?
Where do I go now?
When I can't find emotion?
When I can't get all upset, or happy, or glad, or sad?

I just can't, I just can't catch a feeling
I search, can't catch a feeling

I search
I search...

Can't Catch a Feeling v2

Love makes you do strange things

Like a man who has lost his address, you keep walking.
Memories of people you don't know. 
Things you want to forget.

How to get to a place you've never been to.

You will search all day long.
Love makes you do strange things.
You keep thinking all day long.
Love makes you do strange things.

You're following someone's orders.
It can somehow be heard.
Go here. Don't go over there.
I don't know the reason either.

How to explain something you don't know.

You ask questions all day long.
Love makes you do strange things.
You keep losing all day long.
Love makes you do strange things.

Like a man who has lost his name, you keep standing.
You need to explain something to someone, Immediately.

A surefire way to wake up from a bad dream.

You keep looking all day long.
Love makes you do strange things.
You will forget all day long.
Love makes you do strange things.

Love makes you do strange things

Live song of the month,  Work in Progress

Nacita Live

Two Forms Under A Shady Tree

There we were waiting
As it always seems to be
The evening closing in around us
Distance as far as the eye could see
We held each other tightly
A warning to the insinuating cold
That this here between us
Will become a storied tale of old

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

The snowflakes did their dance
In ringlets and spirals they fell
Forming upon every surface
A cocoon preserving yesterday well
But today was a new day
That projects what lay ahead
So hand slides into hand
And head leans against head

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

It's the burden for time now
To pose its weary questions and try to dispel
Like every union ever made
That had risen before they fell
But make no mistake for this is a special one
Poised and ready to take its stand
To assign itself victorious
And tread the hourglass of sand

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree

We took that arduous journey
That's claimed many a pair
We emerge in the wake of every discord
Undisturbed by avarice or lack of care
The morning sun shines brightly
As the trees stretched to meet the day
We smile as we whisper in each other's ear
The only words we've ever needed to say

Our time is now and before us
Were bound together and will forever be
Two forms under a shady tree
Two forms under a shady tree
