Really like this one, Gino. Works on all levels.

This is really great. Really like the lyrics and  I like your deeper singing voice on this. And excellent guitar and overall mix.

Just out of the mind, fingers and DAW! A bit emotional, darkness, light, melancholy, hope and of course...piano! In other words...the way it usually goes when you visit my page, enjoy the listen and THANKS for listening! :-)

It's just what you were thinking, isn't it?

Brain Eraser

Everyone's lined up in the cold
The shows about to start
The tickets all got sold
Everyone will crowd the stage and see if they want to dance
But no one in this town likes to dance
Seems like no one wants to dance

The singer's screaming
On the stage
The guitar's too loud
Can't hear a word he's saying
I wish a flood would come and drown it all out
Then we'd have something to talk about
Then we'd have something to talk about

But I don't understand
I don't like this band
Let's get out of here
Take me to the pier
I love looking in your eyes
They're so sincere
I don't think you know how rare you are my dear
When everything was a joke
Somehow you appeared
I can't make myself any more clear
I love you babe
You're the only real thing around here

Yet
Everyone here seems to be
Having much more fun than me
What's my problem 
Is it my age?
No I'd rather be the one up on the stage
I'd rather be the one up on the stage


But I don't understand
I've gotta find a band
Let's get out of here
Take me to the pier
I love looking in your eyes
They're so sincere
I don't think you know how rare you are my dear
When everything was a joke
Somehow you appeared
I can't make myself any more clear
I love you babe
You're the only real thing around here

The Only Real Thing

Sample voices : « Goodbye » (Avril Lavigne).

I LOVE YOU SO

Fireflies (G. Di Nunno)

He felt he could die now that he's seen Cooperstown
Which looks so beautiful in the fall
Everything quite expensive, maxed-out credit cards
He knew someday his ex-wife would call.

Hand out for money, yet he wants to see the stars
Dream again as he did when at twelve
Put off dying until he sees the Grand Canyon
Another souvenir on the shelf.

Chorus:
Gotta water the roses, wanna watch something grow
Gotta see the kids, can't wait until tomorrow
Have to feed the dog, can't ignore those sad eyes
Day soon done, and the night
Gives way to fireflies.

Beating the blues with an approach to her front door
The lights are out, guess nobody's home
Chat room banter fills the small void before bedtime
Can't see a face, but he's not alone.

Relationships are hard but having no one is worse
And searching for someone takes too long
Once angry with the world, but now he's got a best friend
Just searching for a place to belong.

Repeat chorus:

Glanced through high school yearbooks when he used to be cool
Era now dust from a dashboard view
Everything's a memory depending on recall
Can't help himself finding a clue.

Face in the mirror isn't what it used to be
In pace with the watch hands moving around
Having so much to do before the doors get closed
Jump in the car and see another town.

Repeat chorus:

Homeward Whispers

UPDATE: for 2024 I am returning to my true love of Prog/Progressive Rock, and I intend to do seven tracks this year. I will be taking a break from Soundcloud here and there to get those nagging life obligations that we all have completed. Stay tuned and best wishes!

NOTE: Songs leading up to an album will not be a Progressive Rock project for 2023. Haven't run out of ideas--just giving light to older songs that have been begging to be heard.

I am an obsessed Progressive Rock fan favoring no genre in particular, yet I have  carried influences from: most every Italian band, especially Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, along with Jethro Tull, early Genesis, Marillion,  King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Ange (from France), and on the heavy side there is Mercyful Fate and King Diamond.  My guitar heroes include: Michael Schenker, Martin Barre, Steve Hackett, Robert Fripp,  Steve Rothery, Michael Denner, Hank Sherman. 

I consider deep lyrics to be essential (especially if you can't sing), as well as song dynamics and surprise elements, with a touch of altering song structures (gained from the days of tearing apart every Mercyful Fate song minus the Satan stuff). I am not inventing the wheel, nor do I consider myself groundbreaking in any way. I just can't stop writing songs. As I am aging (now 64) and being handicapped due to a work accident in 1978 which took 3 2/3 fingers off the left hand. I have an aching right wrist that doesn't let me fly as I once did, so I work within the limitations given.  I hope you enjoy.
