Tecniche di Registrazione

I demo casalinghi sono stati registrati tutti, tranne 'Smile', a Valencia, negli BatmanStudios, cioè casa mia...
Un PC normalissimo, Cool Edit Pro courtesy di Carlo Melodia come programma per registrare e gli strumenti direttamente nella scheda audio. Parlando di chitarre, ho utilizzato principalmente una Taylor 615 a cassa Jumbo acustica, poi una Camps Classica con Fishman, una 12 corde acustica Furch di liuteria, infine la Gibson 335TD e l'Ibanez Musician per le parti elettriche.
Inoltre mi sono avvalso dell'eccellente tastiera Roland HP 7e, un piano digitale dai suoni meravigliosi. Il microfono è un Shure SM58, il classico dei classici.
What else? Ah si, certo, tanta fantasia!

24 & 1/2

Look behind your door
There’s a lot to know
If you take a bit of your time
You will get it thru
I don’t want to try
I just want to be sure
That this way is right if I do I will care
In this morning time
And I know, I will do
And I know that you’ll be there
Close your eyes for a while
Nothing changes inside

There’s a lot of time
We will waste around
But the way I spend it with you,
It’s the best I do.
It can take a while
Til it’s gonna fly
It’s the feeling you’ve got inside
Tells you all the truth.
And I know, I will do
And I know that you’ll be there
Close your eyes for a while
Nothing changes inside

A2B

Looking out the window
Lights look so far from here
Straight roads to somewhere
Everybody’s already asleep.
It’s 30 below outside
She’ll be at home and waiting still
Only two hours more
and I´ll be hearing her saying “hi there”.

I’m painting landscapes with my music
Children are laughing and play
Young mother takes good care of them
While I’m so far away.

Imaginary road in the sky
Leads me back to where I belong
Looking out the window
There’s no light outside.

I’m painting landscapes with my music
Children are laughing and play
Young mother takes good care of them
While I’m so far away.

Walking through the headlights
Reach for the door and take the key
Stepping in softly
I won’t wake her tonight.

I’m painting landscapes with my music
Children are laughing and play
Young mother takes good care of them
While I’m so far away

I’m painting landscapes with my music
Children are laughing and play
Young mother takes good care of them
While I’m so far away
While I’m so far away from home.

testo: Bundles

Bundles

We were put all in room
Being pushed over the walls
So we filled the space together
In bundles.

We were told that we’d became
The best thing we’ve ever seen
And we thought that they were right
As always.

But our name so flew away
With our memories as well
And they tried to erase our minds
In bundles.

Open the window and fly away
Turn off the gear train and run away
Open the window and fly away
Turn off the gear train and run away

But our name so flew away
With our memories as well
And they tried to erase our minds
In bundles.

So they gave us a piece of paper
With some numbers and some letters
I suppose it was our ID, to be filed
In bundles.

And the essence of this story
is our soul that have been sold
in the name of all your money, to be set
In bundles.

Open the window and fly away
Turn off the gear train and run away
Open the window and fly away
Turn off the gear train and run away

testo: casual song

Casual Song

When the morning comes
It’s a brand new life,
It’s finally begun this song.
I couldn’t find the words
To fill these empty lines.
I had to chatch the sun and sing.

Maybe I don’t say much
Of all the things I might
But in the end it came this way.
I’m in the key G
But I love to change it soon,
I’ll make it sometimes wrong but it’s fine.

There’s one thing I can write
Of all the things I did.
It’s my song and the rest I don’t care.
I breath the morning breeze
And open up my arms
I feel I’m taking off,
Bye bye.

When the evening comes
It’s a brand new night,
It’s finally ended up this song.
I couldn’t find the words
To fill these empty lines.I had to chatch the moon and sleep

Testo: Got to Get Lost

Got to get lost

Suddenly appeared to me:
Bright colours as the sound in my ears
Mixed up to the beat of my heart
My hands are sliding on a 6 wheels car
Fast and slow
Depends on the mood.

No time or space
Now it’s my turn again to tell you all
If I fell in love again
Got to get lost to be found

Three steps to ruin
Two to success
Take it or leave it
You’re in an awful mess.

No time or space
Now it’s my turn to tell you all
If I fell in love again
Got to get lost to be found

Voltaire was a wise man
But he wasn’t the first
I’m still in my stage to look for you face.
How can rock let me roll?

No time or space
Now it’s my turn to tell you all
If I fell in love again
Got to get lost to be found

testo: il mondo gira intorno a noi

La mondo gira intorno a noi.

...Ti sei mai chiesta cos’è
Che cambia le parole
Di quello che volevi dire?
Non so più qual’è dei miei
due neuroni quello che
dice che dovrei - continuare così
Sarà forse il vino,
sarà quest’atmosfera
ma oggi ci siamo solo noi.
Anche il vento si ferma,
si ferma il tempo per tre ore,
la notte dura poco
mentre il mondo gira intorno a noi.

La gente passa e ci guarda
O forse non ci fa molto caso,
mentre le stelle hanno già capito
che son cose uniche, irripetibili,
mentre il mondo gira intorno a noi.

È stato un momento
Qualcosa che fugge via
Ma resta qualcosa dentro
Qualcosa che vale molto di piu
Che vale più di una canzone scritta in fretta.

Resterà per sempre qua
Resterà per sempre qua con me,
Mentre il mondo gira
Mentre il mondo gira intorno a noi.

Le parole volano
Mentre i sorrisi restano
E gli sguardi inchiodano
Il senso perduto
In un aereoporto vuoto
Si sente il tuo cuore anche da qui
A mille miglia da quaggiù
Il tuo profumo ha invaso tutti i miei pensieri.

testo: It's You (song for Nuria)

It’s you (a song for Nuria)

And If I hide in my bed
I won’t see you coming in
But I would hear your steps
While your climbing up the stairs.
I would mess your smell with mine
As the summer breeze in your hair
Like a painting in my mind
I won’t ever wipe it off.

It’s you.

You’re the simplest gift I had
And it’s the only one I want
I have sailed the seven seas for you
But I haven’t sung you how much I love you.
Maybe we misunderstood
Maybe I could hurt you so bad
I protected my feeling this way,
But I know that I can’t live without you.

It’s you.

testo: Little by Little

Little by little (the end of the day)

I should do something more for you.
Little by little,
Maybe I made it wrong.
There will be times when we will find
That things not only go one way.
Little by little.
I’m going to tell you all the truth.
Little by little,
Maybe I made it right.
I just remember what you said
The day before I went away.
Little by little.
I can feel sorry for what I thought
I can feel stupid for what I did.
But when my pride had vanished away,
I can’t remember if you were smiling or not to me.
Little by little.

testo: New Song #5

New Song #5 (18JAN07)

It’s a warm and easy evening
And I keep watching out my place.
The sky is clear and there’s no clouds up
And I feel like I was a stream.
The stars are waking up still tired
And I feel like I was the one
Who turns the sky on for you people
But you don’t who wrote this song.
I’m leaving always stuff around there,
She don’t like but I don’t care.
But I go running for my sunshine
Old man told me once again:
That if I let this train to pass on
I won’t ever let it go.
That if I sure believe in my heart
I will find this song again.

It’s a new song for you people
It’s a new song for you lovers
It’s a new song for you children
It’s a new song for you friends.
I woke this morning while I’m sweating

In the nightmare that I wrote.
And I could package all my feelings
To use’em all to make this song.
My guitar needs some volume,
Yes I know that you may help.
And if we put our head together.
Maybe then we’ve got this song.

testo: ode to my killer

ODE TO MY KILLER (with Terry)

Before you shoot,
look into my eyes,
Can you see the same fear you feel inside?
You may see me as someone
who has it all,
But I have the same fears and hesitations after all.
I know your pain, I have the same.

So before you shoot please look deep inside
And you may realize
You see a lot of yourself in my eyes.
So before you shoot,
please think well and feel
What it would be like,
On the other end of my strife.

So before you shoot,
come into my heart,
Think of all your tearing apart,
My life is in your hands.
So before you shoot,
or think that thought,
Tell me of your pain and what you’ve sought.
I know your pain, I have the same.

All of the things I have undone
All of the dreams I could have won
All of my hopes still make it turn out all right
All of the love once next to me
Think of the lost in misery
Now that you want bang why
before you shoot please look deep inside
And you may realize
You see a lot of yourself in my eyes.
So before you shoot,
please think well and feel
What it would be like,
On the other end of my life.

testo: Secret of Life

Secret of Life

Look the rain’s falling down
It won’t take long to be found
Is my secret away from your eyes?
Use your heart and don’t tell lies.
Open up your door to the good
Let the bad caress your mood.
Let’s make the experience now,
And then you’ll know how to know.
Open now your hands to the poor
And let him give you his palest moon.
And try to read in your footsteps
Mistakes can leave traces and cracks.
Look the rain’s falling down
It won’t take long to be found
Is my secret away from your eyes?
Use your heart and don’t tell lies.
Open now your eyes to dark
And see what’s behind the mask.
There is always a smile, my friend,
Behind a tear on a white dead end.
Look the rain’s falling down
It won’t take long to be found
Is my secret away from your eyes?
Use your heart and don’t tell lies.

testo: Singin' in my Car

Singin’ in my Car

(the story of a trip from Madrid with two children in the back seat)

Singin’in my car
Two background vocals
With the engine drummin’fast
And the freeway’s pumpin’hard
Havin’fun in our trip from Madrid

Now she sings the blues
She cries we must close it.
And the wind from the windows blows
She’s annoyed but we don’t care.
She’s still singin’ the blues in my car.

Ooh la la la

He sings rock and roll.
He likes good guitars.
He’s requestin’ more volume.
And he don’t mind if our ears are bleedin’
He’s still singin’ the rock and roll.

Ooh la la la

Singin’in my car
Two background vocals
With the engine drummin’fast
And the freeway’s pumpin’hard
Havin’fun in our trip from Madrid

Ooh la la la

testo: Smells of Autumn

testo:stellina

Stellina (1998)

Mio dolce amore, se vuoi dormire
Chiudi i tuoi occhi e comincia a sognare
Milioni di stelle che stanno a cantare
Canzoni d’amore per te.

Il quel cielo immenso fiorito di stelle
Si sta illuminando di note e colori,
Ma c’è la più grande che ti sta vicino
E non ti lascerà mai.

Ci sono canzoni d’amore
Così dolci che potresti piangere
E ci sono gesti d’amore così belli che
Non te ne accorgi neppure.

Dolce tesoro, piccolo amore
Apri il tuo cuore e continua a sognare
Che cento comete ora stanno a danzare
Ti mandano baci d’amor.

Ci sono canzoni d’amore
Così belle che te ne innamori
E ci sono stelle grandi che ti stanno vicino
Ma non te ne accorgi neppure.

Mio dolce amore, se vuoi dormire
Chiudi i tuoi occhi e comincia a sognare
Milioni di stelle che stanno a cantare
Canzoni d’amore per te.

testo: Stone Flower

Stone Flower

We only just met
In such an ordinary way
But our past lives could tell
A very different tale.
Sometimes we’re stunned to find
Ho much we think alike
And our silence is deeper than words
All this is new to me, I’ve never been here before.

Let’s get close but not too close
You will have to teach me how
But please accept my stone flower
To help you get through one more day.

Please let this friendship be
I promise I’ll try, no matter what,
To bring a smile to you r eyes
To wipe your sadness away.
You lost someone you love
And I’m sorry I can’t heal you
But please accept my stone flower
To help you get through one more day.

Let’s get close but not too close
You will have to teach me how
But please accept my stone flower
To help you get through one more day.

testo: Walking in the Park with Wendy

Walking in the park with Wendy

The moist in the grass
A sunbeam is breaking
We’re walking together
In the Park

Peter asks Wendy:
«Is this your real name?»
She’s over-thinking
It’s ok, it’s ok.

Two milk and coffee
Please give me biscuits
The book we’re translating
Makes me hungry

The smell of the wet grass
Reminds me my first years
I’m tell you this
And you laugh.

The moist in the grass
A sunbeam is breaking
We’re walking together
In the Park.

Testo: Weird

Weird

Fun in your eyes
Sun in your smile
Searching a place to hide for a while
When the wind still blows so high.
I took it for sure (for a while)
That you would say yes (for a while).
But time runs so wild...

I turn off the lights
A drop in your eyes
I held it today so hard for a while
But it slides away from my hands
It’s really strange (for a while)
I’m dazed and confused (for a while)
I am the one in your ears…

I took it for sure (for a while)
That you would say no, no, no!
But time runs so wild…

In my mind
There’s a place
You can go whenever you wish
For a while.

It’s really strange (for a while)
I’m dazed and confused (for a while)
I am the one in your ears!

Fun in your eyes
Sun in your smile
Searching a place to hide for a while
When the wind still blows so high.

testo: What If

What if

Gone. Hell, now you’re really gone
and I can’t make you come back
must be something I have done
I long to feel nothing more
What if I could take it back
And start all over again?
What if I tried one more time
To work my magic on you?
Long empty stretches of night
Thoughts of you still haunt my mind
I just keep on wondering
Who will stir my coffee now?
What if the sound of my words
Could soothe your heart like before?
What if I brushed your soft lips
With my sweetest honey kiss?
Hollow tears escape my eyes
Too late now, too late to mend
Gone. Hell, now you’re really gone
and I can’t make you come back...
