NEW SONGS / NUOVI TESTI

These are the new songs from the new album. Some in English some in Italian...

Da me  A me

Seduta li sul portico deserto guardi fuori
e senti assalirti una tristezza assai invadente
e mentre scende la malinconia senza ragione
sai che e' la delusione di questo mondo decadente...

ti dico che dovresti non pensare che alle rose
ed apprezzare tutte quelle cose sempre belle
che restano aldila' di tutto cio' che e' sempre umano
come le gocce di rugiada sulla pelle...

e invece vedi tutto cio' che manca
in questo mondo che ti rende stanca...

Vorrei poter volare via
come un anima senz'ali
confonderci nel vento e non pensare piu'
al domani

ascoltami mia amica il tuo sforzo e' sempre uguale
che ti renda felice o ti lasci annegare
 questo vuoto che tu senti lo hai creato facilmente
e' un brutto vizio
della tua mente

Vorrei poter potarti via...

-----------------

And I do
I wake up 
and I see trees
barren 
leaning out of winter
I wake up 
from a bad dream
in which you said goodbye

You don't cry for me
you don't dream of me
you don't desire me 
and I do, and I do, and I do

You never call or write
you say you're just distracted
the truth is you're out of my life
and you don't seem to be that much affected

This hell has got to end
I need a helping hand
some love from a real friend
cause you don't cry for me...
------------------
Lasciare Andare  (italian version of And I do)

Ora non potremmo esser piu lontani
ed io non so nemmeno dove saro' domani
e non vedo che il tuo volto
in ogni goccia di pioggia assente
in ogni ricordo che mi torna in mente...

Lasciare andare
e' questo che dovrei fare
invece non riesco a scordare
il silenzio delle tue parole...

Ora son persa e non so piu che fare
son sola e fra di noi c'e' solo divisione
vorrei riuscire a capire in che direzione andare
ma son persa in questo mare di confusione...

e io che credevo che l'insicurezza
fosse soltanto un mio difetto
quando non era tutto poi cosi' perfetto

Lasciare andare....

------------------------

Mercy

Like a winter leaf
led downstream by the spring tide
your picture fades
inside worn memories

your picture fades
inside worn memories
and slowly dissolves
before my tired eyes

I have long prayed for this moment
for a time of respite
from the long tear stained hours
of a long lasting night

And just when I thought she would never come....

Mercy has finally found me
Mercy has finally found me
Mercy has finally found me and it's now...

Day 1 in NYC

Image
This trip has been long in the making. It all started two years ago, in a street near my home in Edinburgh during the 2014 Fringe. While waiting in a cue to see a clown show I struck a conversation with a very colourful lady who struck me as very different from the crowd. She had a broad smile and a open energy about her as well as a congenial dress sense.  I wouldn't have made much of it if it weren't for the fact that I kept bumping into her at shows and finally at my house, as it turned out she had made friends with my then troubador musician flatmate Danny Mullins.  It was friendship at first sight, and very soon I found myself skyping Yana, who turned out was part of a NY art collective as well as a NY director and lovely person extraordinnaire. Soon I also learned that we shared similar asthetics as well as ethics and artistic vision. It didnt take long to figure we wanted to work together, but it did take a while to figure out doing what.  Back in 20

NYC Day 2-9

Image
So ten days or so have passed since the beginning of this trip to shape my upcoming Fringe Show "Front Line" with Director Yana Landowne and it’s all a blur. It feels like I arrived in NYC a month ago, and I have to check my calendar to remember all that has happened. I don’t think my brain can process information as fast as the pace required in this city that never sleeps. So now I am in the airport, waiting to board my plane back to Edinburgh and It all feels very very weird. I have a ton of photos and videos that have been shot, and will try to do my best to follow my journey. DAY 2 So on the second day at Yana’s we rehearse for three hours and immediately afterwards we leave to go to a restaurant where we drink Prosecco and eat oysters (my first time ever!). It is very classy and tasty and hip but doesn’t cost a bomb because it’s happy hour… After a healthy dose of fish Yana has to take a phone call and while she talks we walk to one of her director frien

And so I did it

Taking courage in both hands... this is what we say in Italy. The meaning is rather obvious is it not? Sometimes you gotta wait til you feel high and strong to be able to make a difficult decision. You know that later you will have your weak moments but if you do it when you feel on top of the world you are operating from the vantage point of having all the resources to deal with the upcoming difficulties. You sort of feel like you 'll be ok, and that gives you the strength to go with the right path for you even though it is scary. So I did it. I waited til I felt on top of the world, after a gig. And it seemed easier. Later I still had to pay the consequences and felt like crap for a while but at least I wasn't in Limbo anymore and deep inside I knew I had done the right thing. A few days have now passed and I have had my moments of insecurity and tears. I have felt like nothing ever changes and that I am always falling into the same patterns. But then I picked myself up:
