_________________________Mister Darkness don't You Hunt Me Mister Darkness don't you hunt me there's a strange thrill in everything I'm not in the mood for brooding over things I haven't got If you knock at the door, you won't find me, that's for sure I'm still on the road and I don't know if I'll come back I follow a song where it comes from I ignore what it says I have learnt to my cost Tell me, oh tell me what to do about a weary life where dreams have turned to lies You'll be born and reborn if your road splinters and roams and there's magic in your eyes Missis boredom don't you know that I would rather be alone than with you A warmer company I favor over a place at your laid table with no wine I follow a song where it comes from I ignore what it says I have learnt to my cost Tell me, oh tell me what to do about a weary life where dreams have turned to lies You'll be born and reborn if your road splinters and roams and there's magic in your eyes I follow a song where it comes from I ignore what it says I have learnt to my cost Tell me what to do about a weary life where dreams have turned to lies You'll be born and reborn if your road splinters and roams and there's magic in your eyes And tonight I'll sing my freedom, there's no room for failure and remorse And those who are deaf will not persuade me that it's too late for a new song

Sintesi 03:35
_____________________SYNTHESIS Sometimes too rational Sometimes full of utopias Sometimes expanded in silence Sometimes smiling in the confusion .. Sometimes instead I'm projected into the future But then I think among primitives everything was purest I should need to find a new balance I wonder why don't you search A synthesis, yes I need a synthesis A synthesis, yes I need a synthesis I would say A synthesis between me and myself Sometimes very materialistic Sometimes I appear to be idealistic Sometimes I want to make money But I send you to hell if you don’t let me take it out on you Sometimes a monk enjoying the pleasure of feast I do not want to loose my soul in a number Forgetting duties I don't believe in I say why don't you search for A synthesis, I need a synthesis A synthesis, we need a synthesis

___________________ A Lift to the Moon I wake up it’s late and I’m not sleepy A bit stunned The stereo is on and you're away I drive my thoughts away Too many questions in these days Full of anger I wouldn’t like I go out from home smiling in my silence I’m looking for a lift to the moon White upon us Where I lost my reason It’s not inside me I’m looking for a lift to the moon White upon us Where I lost the reason It’s not around us Air is precious among streetlamps Drops of light shine suspended I look at the road it is shiny Echoes from the bars I don’t know what to do either But for sure it’s possible to find The way- to be in tune again I’m looking for a lift to the moon White upon us Where I lost my reason It’s not inside me I’m looking for a lift to the moon White upon us Where I lost my reason It’s not around us Maybe talks from long ago Lost they tell us in silence Seized by void without any illusions Remember what you forgot I don’t know what to do either But for sure it’s possible to find The way- to be in tune again

_____________________As a Phoenix Sometimes I’d like to glide as a phoenix In the wind cut by the wings and feathers on fire Then turning round to look at the wake behind me Drawing circles in the air From above I'd listen to the city Sometimes I’d like to sink in your gaze Lost elsewhere and to talk to you in my thought Then in silence seeking a new land to explore hand in hand and without hesitation going away Expanded into the ether of my dreams and desires My thirst for freedom I now know will not end Going beyond reality and fiction Finding that the emptiness of my consciousness Is only a shadow to be rooted out Sometimes I would like to wait on a beach flooded With the summer sun for that ship transparent with colourful tinkling crystals Which led by a drunk pirate Would let us bring a little here among the stars at dawn If the dream is long then wake me up I don't want to live a deception Burn that story But if I get sick of reality Then heal me giving me no respite I can’t live in a world That give rage to its fantasies

about

The disc includes the songs of his repertoire which are the most played ones in the Berlin circuit: from disco bars to clubs, from open sessions to street performances. Recorded at Rawaudiolounge studio and at Cosmic studio (the last one consisted of a chamber where he used to spend the night, equipped with computer and instruments), the EP brings together insights and ideas germinated between a concert and a session. The sound is an amalgamation of Gypsy, Mediterranean influences and vocal nonsense always combined with a mixture of rhythm. The texts (in Italian), tell in a lively form about an ego that tries to compose itself despite its estrangement from reality and dispersion.
