Bully 03:11
Gravity is bully I can’t move I need water between me and you can’t remember how I got here were those eyes mine is it because I didn’t care is that enough I want long fingers transparent hands got golden eyes, no eyelids burn everything burn the useless get down on your knees and worship gravity

Respira ancora una volta conosci ancora una volta conosci ancora un’unica volta il tuo sapere al margine dell’infinito Conosci i fiori del ramo primaverile e il vento che col soffio lieve li disperde teneri come neve conosci ancora una volta prima che tu sia dimenticato la vicinanza Consumato, dissipato è il divino dimenticata l’immagine lontana che più non ravvicina finché una foglia errante al vento non la riporti vicino al ricordo tu stesso

Please keep the dogs far hence and we shall play a game of chess hurry up it's time now run softly ‘till I end my song At the violet hour The river sweats oil and tar My feet are here, my heart under my feet Then you came Burning After the frosty silence in the gardens he who was living is now dead with a little patience what have we given my friend blood shaking my heart the awful daring of a moment's surrender which an age of prudence can never retract by this and this only we have existed which is not to be found in our obituaries or in our memories draped by the beneficent spider or under seals broken by the lean solicitor In our empty rooms I have heard the key turn in the door once and turn once only we think of the key, each in his prison thinking of the key, each confirms a prison but what is there for you and me for me and you what is there for us to do what words have we my thought tonight have tails but no wings what words have we

That was when I learned that words are no good That words don’t ever fit even what they are trying to say at We had to use one another by words Like spiders dangling by their mouth from a beam Swinging and twisting, and never touching I would think of how words go straight up in a thin line Quick and harmless And how terribly doing goes along the earth Clinging to it So that after a while the two lines are too far apart For the same person to straddle from one to the other And that sin and love and fear are just sounds That people who never sinned nor loved nor feared have For what they never had And cannot have Until they forget the words I would let him be the shape and echo of his word That was more than he asked Then it was over But for me it was not over I mean over in the sense of beginning and ending Because to me there was no beginning nor ending to anything then My father said that the reason for living is getting ready to stay dead I knew at last what he meant And that he could not have known what he meant himself Because a man cannot know anything about cleaning up the house afterward And so I have cleaned my house

Scared It will just be all peaceful days Said he Pretending some God’s face Jellyfishes Floating in my head Dig a hole! There was no shame Under his nails

about

I rarely think in terms of genres when I make music, I prefer to consider the available instruments and the people I would enjoy making music with. I wanted to work with Cristina, whose sensitivity voice and writing are a source of joy and inspiration for me. I was also curious about facing the song format that is quite unexplored for me, trying to avoid rigidity, formulas and commercial aims. This led me to involve Gian Pietro, whose work in the Officine I really admire, along with his talent in crafting electronic rhythms and textures that can hint at dance trip-hop jazz-rock and 80s wave without losing his personal touch.

All the tracks have been worked out in trio, except for “Crearono un deserto e lo chiamarono pace” where we involved Brenda Quattrini at the keyboards.

IFE music has been written, recorded and mixed between 2020 and 2023.
