Cool Rocker Gino--some great guitar runs in this song-- some of the guitars riffs and your voice reminds me of Yes:)

great creative timing , stellar guitar tones

Man this is real...love it when I come across stuff like this.  I could use that broom too....

Sweeping All The Clutter Out (G. Di Nunno)

The dirt pile grows higher, so why must you add more?
Your face wears signs telling; the fight's hard through losing

The drama not worth it, repeating the pattern
Of toil and bruises, quite totaled with damage. 

All friends kept stunned guessing, what plans stay stored, hidden
A spring trap bite triggered--enjoy all this chaos.

Love the attention
Feel the power
Sneaking up
Quick attack
Can't resist
Stunned and lost
As you grin and walk on by.

Here is the broom to sweep all the clutter out
One chance to clean the rotten reputation that you have.

(A trip to 3/4)
And all trust has withered
Your family hides out
So where are you heading?
No one wants you around.

(Back to 4/4)
To wash off all trouble will take more than one storm
The meantime, such backlash when someone says your name.

The difficult task of repairing, undoing
Has worth in performance, and actions rebuilding.

What was sent out
Was returned
Wounds that stung
Healing slow
Grudges held
Stay awhile
Consequences thick, you know?

Here is the broom to sweep all the clutter out
One chance to clean the rotten reputation that you have.

#6, Sweeping All The Clutter Out

Gino Di Nunno is a 66 year old guy from Greensburg, Pennsylvania. He can't sing, but since starting writing and recording his songs in 2016, he is improving. He is obsessed with Rock Progressivo Italiano, Orchestral music (Beethoven, Mahler, Shostakovich), Jethro Tull, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, and Philosopy. Gino started playing guitar in 1976, but two years later he suffered a left-hand accident and lost 3 and 2/3 fingers (He also started dabbling with piano in 2016, though he doesn't consider himself adept he knows enough to make it sound good). He did not start playing again (as a left-hander) until 1980, and with very long practice sessions, he was able to start a band, taking the hard road by writing original material with his brothers and a few vocalists, where they played everything from Punk, Blues, and a mix of Progressive Rock and Metal.

The band of brothers decided to end their music pursuit in the early 90's to catch up with life. Gino decided to give music another try in the early 2000's and didn't start recording and releasing music until 2016, releasing versions of albums on Soundcloud where he had no idea what he was doing; however, each album saw improvement (yes...even his vocals) by learning through trial and error experimentation. 

Gino said the best advice he ever received was when a guy told him, "if you can't sing, make sure your lyrics are good so people will focus on them instead of your singing." Gino writes deep lyrics dealing with life struggles and predicaments, yet always with a bit of hope. He prefers to write small symphonies within a song, with lots of changes, added dynamics, and a breaking away from familiar forms and structures. He realizes he is not unique in breaking new ground, and that aging and long practice sessions has given him (at times) an aching right wrist which has taken away the speed he once had, and even with his spotty vocals his only request is that you dive deep into the songs because he insists something beautiful can be discovered.  (Antonella Gaspari)
