"Memorie" parla di un amore finito che vive ancora nei ricordi, ma il protagonista vuole liberarsene per poter ricominciare.

Memorie

Sono lance i raggi del sole
volteggiano insetti di luce

netto taglio a ciò che fa male
messa a fuoco degli angoli bui


e le mani appoggiate per terra
son leggeri quei passi di danza

un sussurro che esce dal muro
è l'eco che riempie  la stanza


son frequenze che entrano dentro
enfatizzate con i processori

salgono in cattedra i miei professori
e i rumori diventano incanto



Memorie di un cielo distratto
Sono storie di stelle perdute

Parole urlate o taciute
Sono scorie di questa mia vita 


memorie di tempi vissuti
sono storie di oggetti smarriti

emozioni dal cuore rapite
è il mio io che parla di te



Io che scrissi di te dei tuoi pregi
bastardo di un cane insicuro

vissi con te i miei peccati
tengo care le braccia di dio


seta e angelica al tatto
canto di mille sirene

un martello che batte nel petto
le strofe di dolci poesie


mi porto frammenti pesanti
ora lascio la valle dei pianti

e delle memorie sarai
cimitero dei miei sentimenti



Memorie di un cielo distratto
Sono storie di stelle perdute

Parole urlate o taciute
Sono scorie di questa mia vita 


memorie di tempi vissuti
sono storie di oggetti smarriti

emozioni dal cuore rapite
Metto a saldi i ricordi di noi (o di te)

Memorie (storie di stelle perdute)

Love's the Light

Love's The Light

Dedicated to my Dad, who by example, was always "showing me the ropes".  He said if you want something... go get it. No one is going to hand it to you.  I miss you Dad...thank you for all you taught me. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


[Verse]
The current pulls me far and wide
No anchor to hold me down
But I don't mind
What I can't yet see
The ocean whispers
come explore the deep with me

[Verse]
Under the glow of the
 disco ball moon
The waves dance
They call my name
They say, luv take a chance
On life's great unknowns
I said, Okay...
The Great Unknown 
Is where I'll stake my claim

[Chorus]
How can I be lost, when I feel so free?
I cast-away all the things, I don't wanna be 
I'll go wherever the compass leads
Just like my Daddy did, when he sailed the 7 seas, before me 

He told me
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams

( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 
( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 

[Bridge]
Sometimes the bitter cold, sea winds blow 
How I'll survive, I really don't know
 my blue skies, turn inky black from angry storms
when my hull is tossed and battered
and all my sails are ripped and torn 

[Bridge]
But I survived 
Why is it, that's when I feel the most alive???
I feel alive !

My sea legs are steady
I raise mended sails with my bare hands  
I have known since
I was a little girl 
my feet were never meant for sand
They were never meant for sand

[Chorus]
How can I be lost, when I feel so free?
I cast away all the things, I don't wanna be 
I'll go wherever the compass leads
Just like my Daddy did, when he sailed the 7 seas, before me

He told me 

my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams

( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 
( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 

The current pulls me far and wide
No anchor to hold me down
But I don't mind

because I know what it means ...
 I'll always be chasing dreams

Verse]
My foreign feet in a foreign land
I’ve never walked these streets before
But they speak of tales from long ago 
The sun paints gold on cobblestones
Oh, the stories they could tell
In Akrotiri

[Verse]
The ruins speak of ancient dreams
Lives cut down in a hot rush 
from burning lava streams
The legends say 
Lost souls still dance on the floor of the Aegean Sea
In Akrotiri

[Chorus]

With your history and your mysteries 
Red beaches and azure-blue seas
gray volcanic ash and sapphire streams
The people are warm and gracious
You can lose and find yourself in the beauty 
Of Akrotiri

[Verse]
The food’s a symphony on my tongue
 olive oil, fresh herbs, and feta bread 
Souvlaki sizzles on the grill and the wine runs red
They celebrate the living
They celebrate the dead

[Verse]

They speak of gods and battles fought
Of wisdom learned and lessons taught
The old men's misty eyes shine
As the young men recite 
chapters read and memorized from the Iliad
In Akrotiri

[Bridge]
Strings of a bouzouki hum through the night
The moon glows and the stars shine bright
I inhale the scent of Jasmine
I dance with strangers who feel like kin 
In Akrotiri

[Chorus]

With your history and your mysteries 
Red beaches and azure, blue seas
gray volcanic ash and sapphire streams
The people are warm and gracious
You can lose and find yourself in the beauty 
In Akrotiri

I’ve come a stranger to this sacred land
I leave...a friend
 I leave a part of my heart beating
In Akrotiri

Akrotiri

More Than A Memory

When I go back to that place
The first time I saw your face
You were wearing Kelly green
Color of your favorite team
We would hang out after school
Cannonballs into the pool
We were young and still had dreams
‘Til you drowned us in the stream 

It’s been so long now
I can barely recall
Sometimes I’m not sure
It happened at all
We’re so much further
than a stone’s throw
But still I wonder 
where does your mind go?

When you drive through town,
Past the old playground,
Do you take a look around?
Does it make you think of me?
When you see the swing set,
Where our souls first met,
Does it sting with regret—
‘bout setting me free?
And when you walk through the park,
do you check for our mark?
Two initials in a heart
Like a scar upon the tree
And when you see it there…
Are we more than a memory?

I saw your sister in July
Couldn’t look me in the eye
Said you bought a new house
Moved into it with your spouse
But I still see us in your car
Driving to our favorite bar
Belting every single song
Like we did all summer long

It’s been so long since
the last time we spoke
Most of the details
are clouded by smoke
I have recovered 
from the shock of the blow
But still I wonder
where does your mind go?

When you drive through town,
Past the old playground,
Do you take a look around?
Does it make you think of me?
When you see the swing set,
Where our souls first met,
Does it sting with regret—
‘bout setting me free?
And when you walk through the park,
do you check for our mark?
Carved so deep into the bark
Like a scar upon the tree
And when you see it there…
Are we more than a memory?

I don’t expect you to show up on a white horse
Our story’s over, it’s run the whole course 
But I’ve always questioned, if you felt any remorse about us
I know you must…

When you drive through town,
Past the old playground,
And you take a look around
I know it makes you think of me
When you see the swing set,
Where our souls first met,
Bet the sting of regret
Is as painful as can be
And when you walk through the park,
and you check for our mark
B and K inside a heart
like a scar upon the tree
And when you see it there…
We’re more than a memory

When you see it there…
We’re more than a memory

INFINITY POOL by NOVA J

Feel the breeze (breeze)
Could all fall down
You and me (me)
One slip — we drown

They say I’m lost
I stare too long
At the edge
Of what feels wrong
Every step
Led me here
Now my head
Is full of fear

Did I lie to me?
Was this ever true?
Did I chase a dream
Built on you?

Feel the breeze (breeze)
It’s breaking down
You hold me (me)
Still might drown

Infinity pool (ooh)
Infinity pool (ooh)
Infinity pool (ooh)

Sun on skin
Toes in sand
If I sleep
Might burn my hand
Wave comes fast
Can’t rewind
It’ll take
All that’s mine

Did I lose my path
To make this real?
Did I trade it all
For a feel?

Cracks show now (now)
This place breaks down
You hold me (me)
Still might drown

Infinity pool (ooh)
Infinity pool (ooh)
Infinity pool (ooh)

Sharks around
They smell the fear
We go down (down down down)
If they get near

Did I lie to me?
Was this ever true?
Did I lose my way
Chasing you?

Feel the breeze…
One slip…
We drown…

Infinity pool

I created this song for all the singles out there who are on dating apps, swiping through the chaos, and still holding on to hope of finding Mr. Right.
It’s real, it’s raw, and a little cheeky, just like the dating world today.
If you’ve ever been ghosted, catfished, or stuck in endless small talk… this one’s for you! 💔💬❤️‍🔥
Lyrics:

Yeah…
Back again
Single life, let’s gooo

Single again, back on my phone
No texts, no plans, just vibes alone
Download the app, let’s roll the dice
Swipe left, swipe right, hope he’s nice

“Hey how are you?” I’m good, and you?
Copy, paste… déjà vu
Same convo, different face
A night, another chase

Some are hot but dead inside
Some are sweet but kill the vibe
Some just ghost, some just lie
But here I am, still tryna try

Chorus 
Swipe left, swipe right, take it or leave
Match it or nah, I wear my heart on my sleeve
Scrollin’ through love like it’s just a game
But I still want real, not just a name
DMs dry or wild tonight
Still no spark, no Mr. Right
But here I am in the glow of the light
Swiping left, swiping right

Yeah 
He got abs, but no chat
That one’s cute but a walking red flag
“Hi beautiful”  nah, I seen that
Bio full of quotes? Immediate pass

Brunch dates, drinks, boring talk
Blocked, ghosted, now I’m on a walk
One was cool but way too clingy
Another one flexed but came off stingy

I just want love, is that a crime?
Not another match wasting my time
But I keep on scrollin’, can’t let go
Addicted to the hope, you never know

Chorus
Swipe left, swipe right, take it or leave
Match it or nah, I wear my heart on my sleeve
Scrollin’ through love like it’s just a game
But I still want real, not just a name
DMs dry or wild tonight
Still no spark, no Mr. Right
But here I am in the glow of the light
Swiping left, swiping left

So if you’re out there, be real, come correct
No filters, no games, just genuine connect
‘Til then… swipe swipe, maybe tonight?
Might just match Mr. Right…

Swipe Left Swipe Right

BLESS THE ONES By Nova J

You grind (mmm), you hustle (yeah)
But no one sees the strain (strain)
You hold onto the pain (pain)

(Bless the ones – who stand and fight)

They smile in your face (fake)
While scheming for your place (your place)
When the fun runs dry (dry)
They vanish with no trace (just gone)
Blood ain’t the bond (nope)
It’s what’s real inside (inside)
The truth you hold (hold)

You wear your scars like gold (like gold)
Don’t let them dim your fire (no no)
Story still untold (untold)

Lose Controle is a playful pop song about all the awkward, clumsy things that happen when you’re in love. With a pop beat and funny lyrics, it captures tripping over words, nervous smiles, and silly mistakes, turning them into a charming celebration of love’s messy, unpredictable, and wonderfully human side.

My One True Shot

At heart, I  am an emotionally honest, lyrically driven storyteller. I  love the written word. I love wrapping music around words in a musical story that is flavored with Indie, folk, country, classic rock,  jazz, blues, ballads anthems. 

 I hope you enjoy The Stories She Tells.  ; )
