Sea of Love - Acoustic (work in progress)

The sun was shining weirdly today, so I felt like writing this song.

"you came by surprise
you made me realize
I still can be loved,
I wanna be loved too.

My heart was racing,
I could be complaining
all the things he's having,
he's by your side.

I gave you too much,
I had you running
too far away,
I could not keep up with you.

You left me alone,
I gave you my all.
My everything.
You are a dream."

Music, lyrics and performance by Giovanni Capineri

(Solo Demo) - As in Dreams

I played tabla as I had no drums around but hey, I dig it and I hope you dig it too! x

"You know the place where I hide,
low and down.

You drag me further in
and I'm staying in.
Some day, I'll be free - (oh no)

You know I want your love.
All the things I aspire to be
you smash them to inprison me

Please, don't die.
I sure will cry
You know, you know, you know
I can't resist the beauty of your call."

Music, lyrics and performance by Giovanni Capineri

Jesus couldn‘t really walk on water but he thought he could because he was a hippie hooked on acid.

(Solo Demo) Jesus was a Farmer

This song is about bad weed. 
Bad weed sucks and so does buying weed from strangers. 
Enjoy this song with good weed and support your trusted dealer.

- Lyrics -
Bad weed will kill your high
People look at you in the street
You think you're up so high
You're rushing off your ego vibe

You think you're oh, so cool
Bad weed won't make you cool

Flowing Free

Mind's Garden

We experienced revelation while recording this and that's what this song is about.
Special thanks to Aleister Crowley and LSD.

- Lyrics -
Sat around under a cloud
thought how long will I be 'round
hold the thought quite a while now
It's my goal I have found

I hear it calling me
I want to hear it and feel it
What is it trying to tell me?
Are these the answers to my prayers?

Hold me tight
Where will I be?

Clouds Repeat Themselves

All ar✳︎und you.
Psychedelic jingle jangle tralala hopsasa
from Zürich, Switzerland.

"The sound of Temple Solaire is a strong-acting, hallucinogenic concoction of fuzz-laden psychedelia, shoegaze and drone. Several wailing, humming, screaming and growling guitars set the centerpiece of their compositions, which are complemented by relentlessly stomping drum beats, booming bass riffs and an eerie organ. Their dynamic high-volume show will lurch the audience forward into a time machine that crashes, at light speed, through many a spatial and sonar dimension. Singer Giovanni’s tragic lethargy calls out to the sun from between the dark depths of the temple like a dazed siren drowned in a sea of reverberating noise, remembering long gone times of unburdened love and revolution."

The band has supported promising international artists such as Black Market Karma, Allah-Las, Black Delta Movement, Levitation Room, Wand, Triptides and Tess Parks.
