AIR! (lyrics)

Are we sure this
Is the right part?

I don't know
I don't know

In which dimension am I?

I don’t know...

Without too much discussion
Without too many abstruse
Philosophical speculations

I’m getting ready to change
...AIR
...AIR!
...AIR!

I turn on that light
In my mind

...AIR
...AIR!
...AIR!

Change the air
Change the air

I’m already on my way
I’m already on my way

I turn on that light
In my mind

I follow the trail of my destiny

I enter a new dimension
New dimension, baby

New dimension, baby

La la la...
Change the air
Air, air

La la la...

Air, air
Air, air
Air!

ARIA! (testo)

Siamo sicuri che questa
Sia la parte giusta? 

Non lo so
Non lo so

In quale dimensione mi trovo

Non so...

Senza tante discussioni
Senza tante astruse
Speculazioni filosofiche

Mi preparo a cambiare 
...ARIA
...ARIA!
...ARIA!

Accendo quella luce
Nella mente

...ARIA
...ARIA!
...ARIA!

Cambiare aria
Cambiare aria

Sono già in viaggio
Sono già in viaggio

Accendo quella luce
Nella mente

Seguo la scìa del mio destino

Entro in una nuova dimensione
Nuova dimensione, baby

Nuova dimensione, baby

La la la... 
Cambiare aria
Aria aria 

La la la... 

Aria aria 
Aria, aria,
Aria!

🎷 Steve D’Apano | Independent artist from Italy

New album out now:  METAVOX

The voice is the creative core of this album — it sings, but also invents, transforms, and builds sound. That’s why I chose the title Metavox: a creative flow that begins with the voice and moves beyond it.
My percussions — congas, timbales, bongos, tabla, marimba, and many smaller ones — add rhythm and depth, while my lyrics and adapted poems span centuries, from ancient Greece to the twentieth century.

Metavox blends nu-jazz, neo-soul, and funk with poetry and philosophy — from Sappho and Alcaeus to Petrarch, Campanella, Pavese, and Bukowski.
It’s an album open to improvisation — musical, vocal, and poetic — and it was a joy to create.

Created entirely by Steve D’Apano, Metavox was conceived as a laboratory of voice and sound. Each track was composed, performed, and shaped in full autonomy — where the human gesture expands through sound, instinct, and imagination.

The album will be released on all major music platforms starting January 1st, 2026.
