La paura che hai di te 03:40
lyrics
buy track
La nebbia è come una grana di miopia, non vedi il mondo lontano e lui non te. E’ scesa qui un giorno d’allegria, passa il tempo, t’abitui e non va più via. E poi finisci per nasconderti. E’ dolce mostrarsi e non scoprirsi. UIE´ UIO´ UOEOA UIE´ UIO´ UOA´ UIE´ UIO´ UOEOA EA Hai sete di vita d’esperienza e vuoi essere libera d’andare. Ma se qualcuno ti tocca, e intendo dentro, hai paura e fai un passo nella nebbia. Ora basta, nascondersi nell’ombra dando spazio alla paura che hai di te. UIE´ UIO´ UOEOA UIE´ UIO´ UOA´ UIE´ UIO´ UOEOA EA Non ti biasimo perché è questo quello che ci hanno lasciato, è questo quello che ti hanno insegnato. Era un altro quel sogno difeso e il suo senso si è perso nei ricordi. Sembra un vasto paesaggio di malie ma il tuo sguardo si abbassa e non è libertà. Basta, nascondersi nell’ombra, dando spazio alla paura che hai di te. UIE´ UIO´ UOEOA UIE´ UIO´ UOA´ UIE´ UIO´ UOEOA EA

Non dimenticare 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Hai sempre corso ad occhi chiusi una strada che ora sai ti lascia il vuoto. Non ascolti più i tuoi sogni che il tuo ego ha chiuso in un cassetto. I soldi la tua religione, passi il tempo a vendere e comprare. Non dimenticare, non dimenticare, non dimenticare di avere un'anima … Poi ti guardi in uno specchio del colore grigio dei tuoi giorni. Aggressivo ed impaurito fai di tutto pur di non pensare. Dov'è mai quell'abbondanza che hai creduto di meritare? Non dimenticare, non dimenticare, non dimenticare di avere un'anima … Il mondo cambia e non vuoi accertarlo, cade il muro che ti sei creato sotto il peso della solitudine, e finalmente non sai più che fare. Non dimenticare, non dimenticare, non dimenticare di avere un'anima …

_____I am going to improvise Loops and Roots by Silvio Talamo I am going to improvise a new melody, I am going to improvise new alchemies. I am going to improvise a new verse to sing, to give to the wind dissolving it in the air, When the doors are closed, no crack in the wall, I try to improvise some way to live without trouble. When all my ambitions are broken by the time, I´ll try to improvise a new way to start again. TIU` PAI MBA PODO´ POMBODEBOLA´ TIU` PAI MBA PONDO´ TIU` PAI MBA PONDO´ MA POIMBOMA TIUEMAI PMBODA´ I am going to create new thoughts full of colours. I am going to paint new lands to explore. Dancing moonbeam tribes in the theatre of my brain, an isle without clouds in the middle of the storm. When the doors are closed, no crack in the wall, I try to improvise some way to live without trouble. When all my ambitions are broken by the time, I try to improvise some way to start again. TIU` PAI MBA PODO´ POMBODEBOLA´ TIU` PAI MBA PONDO´ TIU` PAI MBA PONDO´ MA POIMBOMA TIUEMAI PMBODA´ When the doors are closed, no crack in the wall, I try to improvise some way to live without trouble. When all my ambitions are broken by the time, I try to improvise some way to start again. TIU` PAI MBA PODO´ POMBODEBOLA´ TIU` PAI MBA PONDO´ TIU` PAI MBA PONDO´ MA POIMBOMA TIUEMAI PMBODA´

_________ The Tiger Loops and Roots by Silvio Talamo There’s a tiger on the street. X3 She was caged and now it is free. She’s looking for the jungle. X4 Ju ju ju jungle we are living in a jungle. There is tiger on the square. X2 Now she's running through the city. X2 She's escaped from the zoo … She came out from your dreams. She came from the forest or from the depths of the ground Ju ju ju jungle we are living in a jungle. There’s a tiger on the street. There’s a tiger in the dark. she's watching you, she's watching me. Take your place inside the jungle, walk your way into the jungle. X2 If you can … If you can … Take your place inside the jungle, walk your way into the jungle. X2 If you can oh oh … If you can oh oh …

about

Loops and Roots is the result of a long experimental journey that began more than fifteen years ago and was ultimately refined during endless street performances in the colorful and cosmopolitan Berlin summer. Voice, guitar, beatboxing and a loop machine are the instruments that form the basis around which Silvio Talamo has constructed his musical style, casting himself as a one man band in which, thanks to his effects pedals, the listener is as if transported before a stage chock full of musicians. In this way, Silvio has brought to fruition an extensive collection of notes, ideas, and chord progressions that together shape these musical arrangements. Recorded in the studio, in addition to the tracks’ vocal lines, rhythm guitar, and solo sections, were the acoustic and electric drum grooves, percussions, and effects.

Atmospheres tinged with a Mediterranean vibe, World Music rhythms combined with groovebox beats, new-folk compositions obtained using a single loop, and a cappella reggae-dub form the distinct flavor of the album.

A synthesis between past and future in which we can take in the possibilities of modern day instruments without forgetting our “roots” and in which we can integrate machines while staying human: an acoustic work tending towards electro-folk.
