A Future of Wave Lengths (G. Di Nunno)

The answer you feared so
Has been confirmed
Threw you to and fro.

With sadness that won't wait
You'll feel it hard
Let it dissipate.

Vow to give it all hell
That's all there's to do.

A future of wave lengths
Some wild trip
Know there's no escape.

So stretch out and grab it
And hold it close
Through the worst of this.

Now is all that's at heart
To squeeze with all might.

Curse your lot in life
When the worst of luck rolls on
And come back strong
Scratching and clawing.
Weakened by disease
It's the mind that holds the key
We'll pull you along
So take these hands.

We're dealing with our devils in hiding never seen
We'll be falling all around you swelling from the stings.

What awaits will happen
You know this is true.

It won't be easy 
When the falling's yours to bear
So hang in there
Choice is accepting.
Weakened by disease
It's the mind that holds the key
We'll pull you along
So take these hands.

#10. A Future Of Wave Lengths

As Another Train Passes By (G. Di Nunno)
V1:
Compared to friends an envy builds
Better than the life you lead
The pictures bleed their happiness
Wonder how you're falling short.

Pre-Ch:
There's something wrong
Depressed for days
Life drags you along.

Chorus:
Risks not taken from comfort zones
Nothing's gonna change
Feel the burning in your bones
As another train passes by.

V2: 
Must have these things from all that work
Damn the cost though all is high
Accumulate, unsatisfied
Sleep is lost; the bills are due.

PC:
Economy 
Is running fine
You're the one who's broke.

CH:
Ventured far in the darkened woods
Bought the plan as sold
Keeping up is hard as hell
As another train passes by.

Bridge:
You lost yourself as the game is rigged
The disappointment shows
In competition some must lose
Never thought it could be you.

Double Ch:
Time it takes to reach solid ground
Best to give it all
Lose the envy, don't compare
'Cause regret awaits, years will fly.

Knock the obstacles one by one
All there's left to do
Don't forget to keep an ear
Jump aboard the train coming by.

#12. As Another Train Passes By

No Revenge (G. Di Nunno)

I thought it couldn't get much worse
Told she was talking crap on me
And all around they think I suck
Now gotta stick my head in sand.

She hoped I'd crawl, and so I must
Build up with all the damage done
A molded truth with crafty lies
Can't fight against those versions there.

I thought it out
Made the better choice
There will be no defense
I won't be making noise

She may want a fight
I've nothing here to send
Gotta disappoint
I'm taking no revenge.

Now have you heard there are two sides
We both brought about the end
I know she has no angel soul
Yet all of that was dumped on me.

So pick your sides believe or not
Bad news you'll never hear from here
As things will change and hearts have healed
Good times existed long ago.

Go my former love
I'm wishing you the best
Memories are all
What's gone is put to rest

Nothing left to hold
The separate ways we go
Time cannot suspend
I'm holding no revenge.

Repeat: So may former love...
Repeat: Nothing left to...

Gino Di Nunno is a 66 year old guy from Greensburg, Pennsylvania. He can't sing, but since starting writing and recording his songs in 2016, he is improving. He is obsessed with Rock Progressivo Italiano, Orchestral music (Beethoven, Mahler, Shostakovich), Jethro Tull, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, and Philosopy. Gino started playing guitar in 1976, but two years later he suffered a left-hand accident and lost 3 and 2/3 fingers (He also started dabbling with piano in 2016, though he doesn't consider himself adept he knows enough to make it sound good). He did not start playing again (as a left-hander) until 1980, and with very long practice sessions, he was able to start a band, taking the hard road by writing original material with his brothers and a few vocalists, where they played everything from Punk, Blues, and a mix of Progressive Rock and Metal.

The band of brothers decided to end their music pursuit in the early 90's to catch up with life. Gino decided to give music another try in the early 2000's and didn't start recording and releasing music until 2016, releasing versions of albums on Soundcloud where he had no idea what he was doing; however, each album saw improvement (yes...even his vocals) by learning through trial and error experimentation. 

Gino said the best advice he ever received was when a guy told him, "if you can't sing, make sure your lyrics are good so people will focus on them instead of your singing." Gino writes deep lyrics dealing with life struggles and predicaments, yet always with a bit of hope. He prefers to write small symphonies within a song, with lots of changes, added dynamics, and a breaking away from familiar forms and structures. He realizes he is not unique in breaking new ground, and that aging and long practice sessions has given him (at times) an aching right wrist which has taken away the speed he once had, and even with his spotty vocals his only request is that you dive deep into the songs because he insists something beautiful can be discovered.  (Antonella Gaspari)
