Mona da Vinci's debut single "Synastry" - a slightly trip-hop-like beat and a cosmic dimension in both lyrics and melody

Synastry

A vitamin-enriched feel-good beat to combat the autumn blues

Yellow Hello

Step into a sonic time machine as Shakespeare's immortal sonnet inspires a spacey electronica soundscape where mortal beauty rivals the divine. This baroque-seasoned chill-out tune, with its infectious triphop beats, will whisk you back to those carefree summer days at the beach.

Lyrics:
Sonnet 130: My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun (W. Shakespeare)

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
   And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
   As any she belied with false compare.

My Mistress' Eyes

Lyrics:
Here I stand
In a room haunted by memories
Empty shelves echoing broken dreams
In a drawer I find
Photos you’re leaving behind

Images telling the story of you and me
Having fun, living in harmony
Not a cloud in the sky
Troubles that led to goodbyes
Hidden behind all my smiles

Now that it’s ending
I see my loving eyes, loving eyes tell lies
No point in pretending
I see my loving eyes, loving eyes tell lies

Here I see
Candle-light dinner in Italy
Sipping wine under an olive tree
Such a memorable day
No sign of sorrow to say
We had been fighting all day, every day

Don’t make me take all the blame
My loving eyes, loving eyes told lies
Didn’t your eyes do the same?
Your loving eyes, loving eyes told lies
We were special. We were beautiful. 
We were not what we desired.
Our smiles are liars.

Eyes Tell Lies

Here in the marshland
of the hopeless melodies
and the loveless synergies
take me back to the sun
 
Where is the ending
of the hollow chivalries
and the tearless apologies
drive me to the ocean

Fly don’t ever mind the storm clouds
follow the rivers of rainbows
crossing the bridges that glow

Drive circle around the streetlights
follow the siren of silence
never be ready to fall

Here in the brightness
of the sober poetry
and an endless exposé
take me back to the cave
  
There in the darkness
of the pointless felonies
and the clueless enemies
walk me back to my cell

Fly don’t ever mind the storm clouds
follow the rivers of rainbows
crossing the bridges that glow

Drive circle around the streetlights
follow the siren of silence
never be ready to fall

In The Marshland

Towering mountains surrounding me
Walls I’m too weak to climb
Always a bit too high
Could I turn them into one of those beautiful
Things I annihilate
When I just ventilate

On, on, onwards, grind on
Uphill, upwind, sun burning my skin
Always halfway, and way behind
When is high high enough

Walking the darkness and walking the line
Between giving up
And giving one more try
What do I do when my sparks are all out
Can you give me a light
Can we just pass some time

On, on, onwards, grind on
Uphill, upwind, sun burning my skin
Always halfway, and way behind
When is high high enough
   
Say, say you’ll have me as I am tonight
Cause I’m too tired to be better
Say, say you’ll have me as I am tonight
Cause I’m too tired to be better  tonight

On, on, onwards, grind on
Uphill, upwind, sun burning my skin
Always halfway, and way behind
When is high high enough


Halfway

Mona da Vinci's new single, "Butterfly" is a moving tribute to the innocent lives lost when conflicts are met with weapons - the song is dedicated to children caught in the horrors of war. The powerful lyrics of the song were written by American poet Michael R. Burch.

Lyrics:
Where does the butterfly go
When the light of life runs low
Where does the butterfly go
When lightning rails, when thunder howls
When hailstones scream, when winter scowls
Where does the butterfly go
When nights compound dark frosts with snow
Where does the butterfly go
Where does the rose hide its bloom
When night descends oblique and chill
Beyond the capacity of moonlight to fill
Where does the butterfly go
When the only relief's a banked fire's glow
Where does the butterfly go
Where shall the spirit flee
When life is harsh, too harsh to face
And hope is lost without a trace
Where does the butterfly go
Oh, when the light of life runs low
Where does the butterfly go 
Where does the butterfly go
Oh, when the light of life runs low
Where does the butterfly go
When the light of life runs low

Butterfly

Mona da Vinci - an infusion of fresh progressive electropop

The fresh musical collective Mona da Vinci sweeps into the minds of listeners with dreamy electronic melodies. The band's silky dream-pop vibes carried by female voices are inviting us to embark on a journey to the imaginative ideal past. Along the way, we encounter multi-voiced harmonies with an occasional Celtic twist, electronic futurism, and even psychedelic elements, all guiding listeners to enjoyment in a refreshingly contemporary manner. What emerges is original creation, where pop, electro, and indie converge, gently caressing the ears of the listener at any given moment - in dimly lit dance halls, in a dark kitchen while gazing longingly at the starry sky with a teacup, or secluding oneself in the bedroom, immersed in gentle anguish.
