Once again a fabulous and warm original song with so nice instrumentation and chord progressions!

Open for collaborations
Pierrou: Telecaster deluxe 72 (American Professional II)

Garageband keyboard sounds.
Yamaha Tenor Saxophone.

Come On, You Gotta Get It Done

Yet another instrumental inspired by a road trip. 
Can I fit another road trip in before the summer is gone?

All the guitar parts were played on my American Telecaster with Texas pickups... I aways seem to reach for this guitar when road trips are on my mind.

Open Road

Written and performed by Stefano Manotti

Artwork by Stefano Manotti

Arrangement and mixing: Giulio Carmassi (ex-Pat Metheny group)

Executive production and mastering: Paolo Schianchi and OmniaMusica Recording Studio

The lyrics were inspired by some writings of a friend. I was impressed by her story, the fact that she wrote her sufferings to a kind of guardian angel named Clarisse.



LYRICS

Is it love, Clarisse, that really makes us grow?
In the eyes of a child wherever he may go
He walks down the street
Without fearing life
And you see
You see
What he went through

A soul wouldn’t grow
Without some love
The clock wouldn’t move
And fears would learn to swim
I couldn’t be, I couldn’t be the way you are
But you know
You know
What I’ve been through

Oh, Clarisse, you are the older and wiser one
You've seeped into my soul's finest and deepest parts 
Your wounds always heal
While mine take a while
And you know
You know what I’ve been through

Was it love, Clarisse, that made us grow?
In my eyes of a child looking down the road
I will always write you all my sorrows and my pain
Because you know
You know
What I’ve been through

Clarisse
