Lyrics:
Don't want to be a rose
You want to be a wildflower
Never mind the sun
You want to take a moon shower

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

You say you're getting old
You say you've reached a milestone mama
You're tired of being sold
You're tired of all the hometown drama

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

I love the way the moon glows
I love the way the wind blows
When it goes
Through your hair

Gonna be a wild ride mama
Gonna be a rodeo
Gonna be an LA drama
Gonna have to rope me down

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

Half A Mile From Here

From 2005 to 2022, over 100,000 child soldiers have been recruited worldwide, as estimated by UNICEF. 
A number that reveals the size of a serious and urgent problem, especially in some countries in Asia and Africa. War, in fact, is a source of enormous suffering for children, both physical and psychological, I believe that this song of mine can represent a small contribution to not forgetting this.

Lyrics Piccolo Soldato (Little Soldier) :

Little soldier loving glances for you
You play without a Muse and they teach you to fight
sooner or later you will get lost
Little soldier games bigger than you.

Senseless shadows open in you commanded by the great ones introduced like heroes
chains of hate never ended down here.

Little soldier, anger grows in you
Little soldier virtuality disappeared so soon.
broken childhoods and stolen life for what reason is unknown
Little heart detested by strong cowardice

Senseless shadows open in you commanded by the great ones introduced like heroes
chains of hate never ended down here.

Fires of death mistaken for games with implanted seeds
for walls of death infinite matryoshkas of stolen lives
for claims of a good never revealed.

blood claimed blood stolen
with infamous games of false justice

toys and death of a long ending
you are not meant to be

toys and death of a long ending
it's just madness

Take back your reality how many dreams can you still have 
Take back your happiness how many lives can you save 
Soldier games without death for you.

Il Corriere Smarrito

Piccolo Soldato

Music and Lyrics By Pierfranco Chiusolo
Arranged and Played By Massimo Primiero
Sung By Lara Brachet Cota

I originally worked on this song in the year of 2005 , 
this song was born by an idea of Mr. Pierfranco Chiusolo (https://it-it.facebook.com/pierfranco.chiusolo) 
the lyric is a funny story (not so funny to be honest) about how It has become so difficult for a live Band finding new places to play Live Music and how everything is such complicated and hard behind the stage.
When Mr.Chiusolo gave me the vocal and bass rough line for arranging my first impact was a song with a reggae groove Intro with a change to medium hard rock tempo, the result is a track with a sound between Led Zeppelin and The Police first period, Lara did a very good Job on this song, I think that despite years have passed the lyric's subject is still present today.

English Lyrics:

Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About
Moving fast always and forever, Go On Stage, People is so ready
Launch in a second, With no taste
Pubs with no people, And dark Piano bar
Guitar, Bass, Voice and drum
The sound is tough all around us
The Voice is ready, To shout for all
Fingers on frets , Let’s start right now

Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About
Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About
Grooving  Growing, Energy is here
Knowing look the stacco is here
Verse and chorus E C n’ G
Bad eyes frozen your heart
No shaking hands, what a frustration
Who doesn't care let’s go for the party
Music is lauding, Feeling is wuaooo
Time to study and sound is so great.

Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About
Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About

Concert is over people has gone, Few shaking hands ,that’s Ok
Put your jack off, Instruments down
All in your car, And go out from here
No enough paid , for everyone here
Playing is like that,  think about It
Passion and labor, Sweat and notes
Real Glory for our rich hearts

Ehi Music Player, Let’s go for a party
Personal view, Never stop your will
Ehi Music Player, What’s in your face 
Your heart is a stone, Never Think About

Thru Your Device, Not Congress, Changed the Playbook

The interpretation is clear and well-supported by current discussions on the shift in power. The title “Thru Your Device, Not Congress, Changed The Playbook” can be read as addressing how corporations, rather than government institutions like Congress, have managed to introduce new technologies and systems directly to citizens—often using their devices (phones, computers, apps)—in ways that government could not, especially when public resistance blocked legislation.

This trend is widely observed: corporations increasingly hold power that can surpass that of governments, sometimes bypassing legal and democratic accountability to implement changes or products that serve their interests. 

For example, corporations have changed privacy rules, financial practices, and everyday habits by pushing updates or features through devices, while governments often struggle to regulate or block such changes, even if a majority of citizens are opposed. The “playbook” for securing social and economic change—once the domain of legislative bodies—has truly been changed or even rewritten by corporate actors leveraging personal technology.

​
The story is both topical and resonant: it speaks to citizens’ experiences of seeing decisions and new trends imposed via their devices by corporations, rather than democratically through Congress, especially in areas where governments faced strong public opposition. This message aligns closely with critical analysis of modern power dynamics between corporates, governments, and the public.
