sad song. A dream and ex boyfriend.  Then parents died, 2 kids in village committed suicide, then back to singing about my ex. 
Best parts of a few song put together. 
strange arrangement though.

This is my original song about a story that is told in Liverpool and I wanted to create my own version as I feel it represents many of the people in Liverpool

Silent Scream

Lyrics: Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374)
Music: Michele Ansani & Francess Harris (@pianofran)
Piano: Francess Harris
Vocals, keyboards and electronic strings: Michele Ansani

[Eng lyrics below]

It would actually be a cover, but I do not know whether Petrarch (or others to him contemporary) had also given musical form to the sonnet. For him, the compositions of the Canzoniere (late title) were actually 'Rerum Vulgarium Fragmenta'. Modest, the poet. The literature about this introductory sonnet is endless, one can easily start from Wikipedia.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I had taken this and other texts from the italian vernacular lyric tradition of the origins, giving them some melodic texture: a normal operation for a student of Literature oriented towards medieval studies and a lover of medieval tunes.
I proposed to Francess (@pianofran - please visit her SC page, full of great piano performances) to play a piano base for this song, and she went much further (as I imagined), with her usual delicate and unmistakable touch, helping to generate a melody and an atmosphere that seemed to me perfectly suited to this very famous poetic composition.

Englsh lyrics (translation by A S. Kline)

You who hear the sound, in scattered rhymes,
of those sighs on which I fed my heart,
in my first vagrant youthfulness,
when I was partly other than I am,

I hope to find pity, and forgiveness,
for all the modes in which I talk and weep,
between vain hope and vain sadness,
in those who understand love through its trials.

Yet I see clearly now I have become
an old tale amongst all these people, so that
it often makes me ashamed of myself;

and shame is the fruit of my vanities,
and remorse, and the clearest knowledge
of how the world's delight is a brief dream.

Original poem

Voi ch’ascoltate in rime sparse il suono
di quei sospiri ond’io nudriva ’l core
in sul mio primo giovenile errore
quand’era in parte altr’uom da quel ch’i’ sono,

del vario stile in ch’io piango et ragiono
fra le vane speranze e ’l van dolore,
ove sia chi per prova intenda amore,
spero trovar pietà, nonché perdono.

Ma ben veggio or sì come al popol tutto
favola fui gran tempo, onde sovente
di me medesmo meco mi vergogno;

et del mio vaneggiar vergogna è ’l frutto,
e ’l pentirsi, e ’l conoscer chiaramente
che quanto piace al mondo è breve sogno.

Dime

THE MAN IN THE MORNING
AND THE MAN IN THE EVENING
ARE TWO DIFFERENT ONES
ALTHOUGH THE SAME MAN
OOO

THE FIRST ONE IS CRAWLING
OUT OF BED WITH NO WARNING
HALFWAY DEAD IN SING SING
THEN HE CRAWLS HIS WHOLE DAY THROUGH
UNTIL HE MEETS YOU

I KNOW IT ALL ABOUT HIM       
AND HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT ME
WE ARE ONE WE ARE TWO
AND THE SAME MAN GOES FOR YOU 

THE MAN IN THE MORNING 
IS HANGING FROM THE CEILING
UNTIL COMES THE SECOND ONE
A SHOT OF BOURBON IN HIS HAND
HIS FEET BACK ON THE GROUND
CHEERS MAN 

LALALALALALALALALALA
LALALALALALALALALALA

I KNOW IT ALL ABOUT THEM
AND THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT ME
IN THIS PARANOID SYSTEM
SET ME FREE

THE MAN IN THE MORNING
IS THE MAN IN THE EVENING
ALTHOUGH DIFFERENT ONES
THEY ARE THE SAME MAN

AND WE’RE ALL THE SAME MAN
SAME WOMAN

THE SAME MAN (Lyrics)

A little Politics and a dash of rock n roll.
