As i traveled around the uk and europe in the summer of 2023
i became aware of how people use the power of dance to express them selfs and entertain .
I filmed and captured the moments of this and turned it into this song and a music video ,it kinda has a global message of freedom too in the lyrics and i ask the question the more they take away the things we enjoy the more people will find a way to celebrate and try and enjoy life.

Sometimes, life gives you a new start, a new chance.

A New Beginning

Last night caught us completely unaware.
We were enchanted, there was magic in the air.
We were young then, but we knew just where we stood.
It felt forever, and we both knew that it would.

Last night it was like a holiday.
We had our life served up on a silver tray
Last night we were taken by surprise
But now it’s morning, and I can see it in your eyes.

So breathe – breathe in – breathe out – again.
And every time you breathe – remember when.
The sun – still shines – it’s yours – it’s mine.
So every time you breathe, know what to do.
Every breath you take – says, “I love you.”

Yesterday might seem like it’s long gone.
Tomorrow is full of questions, so just hang on.
We both see it – and we know just what to do.
Breath in says, “Yes,” and breath out says, “I love you.

So breathe – breathe in – breathe out – again.
And every time you breathe – remember when.
The sun still shines – it’s your sun, it’s my son, and we know there’s ample time.
So every time you breathe, know what to do.
Every breath you take – says, “I love you.”

Last Night

Your world is amazing
Oh no that word doesn’t seem right
So let’s go replace it with 
Something a little more apt 

With so many worlds to cross
Unjust consequence
I guess we’re all made of dust
and where our bones will come to rest

You and I share unknowns
but here lies interstellar roads
now is another chance
to go home

Our minds store photographs 
But for time we have not crossed paths
Could I just have one more ask
From the stars send a postcard back

Saturns rings beckoning
along with these solar flares
spiralling out to space

Part of your journey through
A near perfect vacuum 
Lose shadows on your face

And I 
Believe 
Your earth and sun
Rotate
Just
For me

And I
Conceive 
The only thing
You omit 
Is love and peace

So stay with me
As we exit earth’s atmosphere 
On to a blanket of stars
That glow

Across the universe 
Where wondrous traits
All work to eliminate 
The shadows on your face

If you were a nebula 
I’d be a shooting star,
Gliding across your crest

Or I’m a rogue satellite 
You’d be my landing light
Guiding me to rest

And I 
Believe 
Your earth and sun
Rotate
Just
For me

And I
Conceive 
The only thing
You omit 
Is love and peace

Body and souls collide 
A journey past the Karman line
A trail of asteroid dust
Simply kicks the universe 

Your dreams and reality mix
Your Aadventures with your crucifix
Around you neck for support
With the ticket to the stars that you bought

But your world is amazing 
That word fits you like a glove
So let’s go and share it with
The ones we love

Across the universe 
Your wondrous traits
Align and illuminate 
The shadows that fall on you face

If I could protect when
Collapsing stars come to end 
That sure would be something 

The truth of the matter is
You already saved me when
The supernova spread

Now I 
Believe 
Your earth and sun
Only rotate 
Just for me 

And I
Conceive 
The only thing
To omit from you 
Is love and peace

It’s You

HOPE. 

We all live by hope—I mean, I survive every day on hope. Hoping my next moment goes as planned, my next year, this friendship, this relationship, my health, career, success, and everything in between. 
Humans are made of hope. Agree ? 

The song begins with a narrator laying out the story’s points. This isn’t for any gender; this situation takes place in everyone’s life. 

Heartbreaks are common they say, i don’t agree !!

The record might give you an adrenaline rush and I’m pretty sure it will make you feel something; you’ll definitely relate to it. It’s a roller coaster of emotions.

The song portrays mixed feelings—jealousy, hate, love, fear, and more, possibly even the end moments of a relationship

Set to a beautiful dancehall beat produced by none other than @katanohh_beats  mixed and mastered by the best, @why_m3___ . This record holds a special place in my heart.

Taken live on 2021, May 21.
'The Moon and the Bonfires' was the last romance of Cesare Pavese, the greatest Italian novelist of the first half of the 20th century: to him is dedicated the song. Depression, the failure of a brief love affair with an actress and political disillusionment led him to his suicide by an overdose of barbiturates on 1950, August 27.

Lyrics (Italian and English)

maestro dal viso di pietra
che sei sveglio sul fiume di notte
che cerchi l’odore di donna
che guardi la luna sull’acqua
siedi qui accanto all’aperto
sul filo che corre lontano
e se cadi dentro i tuoi pensieri
la notte ti darà la mano

poco sforzo ti costerà
sognare una stella cometa
che viaggia senza far rumore
che muore senza alcun dolore
ma tu bevi alla nostra salute
e più pieno il desiderio sarà
e se scopri che la notte è atroce
nessuno ti sveglierà

----

stone-faced master
you are awake on the river at night
seeking the scent of woman
looking at the moon on the water
you sit here beside the open
on the thread that runs far away
and if you fall into your thoughts
the night will hold your hand

little effort will cost you
to dream of a star comet
that travels without a sound
that dies without any pain
but you drink to our health
and fuller will be the desire 
and if you realise that the night is heinous
no one will wake you

------

La luna e i falò (The Moon and the Bonfires) - live [eng lyrics in the description]

This work can be likened to a dark and mysterious painting, revealing the depths of life and its many colours. I invite my listeners to see the world from a different angle and experience the mysterious and mystical world of Gothic Doom Metal music.

Light From Darkness_Instrumental

I killed the pharaoh 
You killed the king 
We’re at the same place in time
But we have an all together different meaning 
The space is clear
The dimensions are fleeting 
Their wives are lonely 
when can we dismiss this meeting 

The two assassins never met
But crept about the synchronistic wave
Like shadows covered in night 
The plebeians thought they were brave
But the scholars thought they were right

In the void of tangible power
They thought they could hear it all
But their reality was relative
It was their duty 
It was their call

Stamped hooves beating
Recorded sound non existent
The heated beeping deceiving 
The heaving thoroughbreds 
Of the imagination
Stampeding
Yet, they were never
They were never competing 

She screamed and wailed
The options racing the mind well
What incandescent hell
Have we traced destined lineage to fail?

Whatever it was, rang true
Created a midnight blue hue
To confuse and compel
The empty minds at rest that dwell
Inside their own jail
In a basement in Missouri 

Ah, Hurry hurry it’s on sale
And the inventory is running low
They’ve confiscated your mind
But your pocket is yours though

I’m not sure I’m not sure
That’s really fair

When do we ride
I wanna ride I wanna ride 

Time is an opus
But it ends at the score 
There’s too much to do
And they’re always asking for more 
So I took one final job
So I could retire before 
The moon hit the clouds
And the sun burns for nevermore 

I set off in the magic hour
But the sandstorm’s day had just begun
Trying to put me to bed 
But all I wanted was fun 
The motivating factors shifted
The visual acumen had drifted
The peaches rotted and the (redacted) got (redacted)
Why’d she cry?
Then the midst was misting 

I woke up at what appeared to be a new day
But when you don’t sleep who’s really to say?
I’d poisoned myself so doing to another
Was just another act of good will from his brother
I’d set the palace a blaze and make sure the emperor fell 
His manifesto on taxes and god 
Stood at the mountain top of all that is wrong
Thrice, I visited in the apothecary
Only to remember I had never bought that which you should never carry 
I returned to the force for more
Then realized I had already drunken the cure
I fed my bled to a tube through a vein
What is now sitting in a vile 
It is his destiny, it is his one way trane 

Meet me in the middle
I’m a man on a hill
If the wind blows any harder
There’s no telling where I’ll spill
My guts out on the floor
For those who dream of glory
Where they?what?and who you fighting for?
The man and the money
The man the money
So that’s your interpretation of the land of milk and honey?
Is that how you feel?
Honey, this is for real.
