Freiburg 03:42
There’s something going on tonight I feel electric in a different country from mine Everything seems so right Having so much fun with friends, but waiting for a sign To prove that the girl of my dreams really does exist Somewhere in the world I’m always tryin’ to reassure myself that I will recognize her… There’s something going on tonight I feel electric now with you by my side You’re more “perfect” than just “right” I would dance with you forever, but it won’t happen ‘cause I live so far from you, that you’re so sure We’ll never ever meet again But I can assure you, that you mean so much to me tonight, That’s never happened in my whole life… And when I see you standing right in front of me I understand what I really miss I will stay with you, not just for one night Now hold me tight, hold me tight… I will stay with you, not only for one night I won’t lie, it’s not a lie!!! I won’t kiss you goodbye!

Finland 03:38
Coming from the south I knew, it would be a long journey to reach you My head’s full of fears, will you appreciate me? Will I play for you? And I couldn’t have ever imagined, you’d make me feel so comfortable You make me laugh, you make me smile You make me feel so good like I haven’t felt in a long time Here with you Your winter’s cold, your winter’s long But I feel like it’s summer all year long Here with you… Voices said that you’re frozen, But your heart is the warmest I’ve ever felt I love all your songs, a couple of drinks and we’re a complete symphony And I could not ask for more, you make me feel as if I’m at home You make me laugh, you make me smile You make me feel so good like I haven’t felt in a long time Here with you Your winter’s cold, your winter’s long But I feel like it’s summer all year long Here with you… Here in you! I love your eyes, truly made of ice, the sound of your language but I don’t understand it the value of friendship, it’s really clear here, you’re not glacial at all I love your hair, like golden silk Your independence it’s something unique I’ll try to tame your wild nature You’re not glacial at all You make me laugh, you make me smile You make me feel so good as if this were my first time Here with you Your winter’s cold, your winter’s long But I feel like it’s summer all year long Here with you… Here in you!

Let’s talk about the same old things happening in my life Nothing changes, but this could be the best stream of time, the best solution, the best road that I could have chosen You’re tryin’ so hard to convince me This is the way, it was supposed to be I’m doing my best to persuade myself This is the way, it was supposed to be The best for you and me I have to cope with your sick machine, that excuse for a brain Nothing changes, but this could be the best stream of time, the best solution, the only path that I could have chosen You’re tryin’ so hard to convince me This is the way, it was supposed to be I’m doing my best to persuade myself This is the way, it was supposed to be The best for you and me, The best for you and me You’re tryin’ so hard to convince me This is the way, it was supposed to be I’m doing my best to persuade myself This is the way, it was supposed to be The best for you and me, The best for you and me The best for you and me

I 03:34
So many times I’ve tried to collect The moments of my life that I really can’t forget Tryin’ to treasure all my memories But every time I fail, falling to the start again It’s like a showdown against myself It doesn’t depend on anyone else I try to erase my mistakes I try to solve my problems Just being patient every day I know it’s not the right way To just sit and contemplate The world is turning without me I notice that time flies and forces me To always stare at the mirror of my past I should just look forward and try new experiences But every time I fail falling to the start again It’s like a showdown against myself It doesn’t depend on anyone else I try to erase my mistake I try to solve my problems Just being patient every day I know it’s not the right way To just sit and contemplate The world is turning without me

Dust 04:20
This is the last chance, the last chance that I have to figure out what I’ve done and what I could still do from now on Another new beginning is rising I’m on my way to the sun can’t forget the sacrifices I’ve made to be what I’ve become Thinking back to all the good times that I’ve had there’s no regret when you try to live the best life that you can Can’t erase all the photographs stuck in my mind of all those days when worries were left behind If I open my eyes this time I can realize all the lies surrounding everything I believed in and I try, I try, I try to suffocate all these lies and I try, I try, I try but they always return to life This is the last chance, the last chance that I have to figure out what I’ve done and what I could still do from now on Can’t erase all the photographs stuck in my mind of all those days when worries were left behind If I open my eyes this time I can realize all the lies surrounding everything I believed in and I try, I try, I try to suffocate all these lies and I try, I try, I try but they always return to life I won’t forget this time, until time puts me aside And I try, I try, I try to kill my parasite And for all my melodies I wish they’d always be part of the atmosphere And never fall down, Just to lay on a surface This is the last chance, I won’t let dusk turn into dust (x4) Memories Are coming out from my skin (Once again)!

Speechless 03:12
It could have been a night like all the others, Tired and bored after a day of work I couldn’t even image all of this happening But then I’ve answered the phone and I will never forget Those 3 words I’ve heard I still don’t know why And it will be too late To find out why tragedies happen You were full of life When your heart has suddenly stopped Leavin’ us speechless.. without words You’re lain down with your friends around Cryin’ their hearts out for you We’re powerless with all these questions left untold Why a person like you? Why a person like you? I still don’t know why And it will be too late To find out why tragedies happen You were full of life When you’re heart has suddenly stopped Leavin’ us speechless.. without words (I can’t believe that this is the last time I see you… you’ve just left traces in our hearts and emptiness inside…)

Velocity 03:46
So many years have passed You’ve always tried to be at your best You’ve filled your life With sacrifice Becoming essential in others’ lives Since that flare has begun to shine in your eyes Velocity was Your life meaning Now it’s turning your dreams in someone else’s tragedy She’s cryin’ now She’s livin’ the worst day of her life Where are you now? You’re gone without givin’ her the last embrace So many years have passed You’ve always tried to be at your best You’ve filled your life With sacrifice Becoming essential in others’ lives She’s cryin’ now She’s livin’ the worst day of her life Where are you now? You’re gone without givin’ her the last embrace (x2) Existence can be ungrateful An instant can absorb a sea of memories Experience could not save us Unexpected balks are over everyone’s street She’s cryin’ now She’s livin’ the worst day of her life Where are you now? You’re gone without givin’ her the last embrace

28 03:54
Every day, I go on Taking events as they come, as they come Should I change? I’m not sure As life goes by I feel less realized, less satisfied What am I searching for In my life that’s going on? I don’t know… What am I waiting for? I should think more ‘bout my future… Back in time, there was a kid Who made promises he won’t keep, to himself Another carnival is gone I’m still here dressed as a clown You know… there’s something wrong My fantasy, has been killed Years go by but I’m always at the same point The same old point What am I searching for From my life that’s going on? I don’t know… (there’s a light hiding inside me) What am I waiting for? I should think more ‘bout my future… (there’s a light hiding inside me) I wanna fly so high I wanna sail away From this life

Never fall 03:08
Another wasted day, it seems to me that I’m so good At contemplating days, ‘til they die All along the way, temptations multiply themselves Just to defeat my intentions Every single moment should not be overcome by regret In every frame, in my lifetime, I have to remember that… When you’re falling down again it’s not necessary to forget the past, face your demons and try to find the strength to stand head held high against them and never fall again Another wasted night noticing how abandoned dreams Can turn to nightmares so easily All along the way, temptations multiply themselves Just to defeat my intentions Every single moment should not be overcome by regret In every frame, in my lifetime, I have to remember that… When you’re falling down again it’s not necessary to forget the past, face your demons and try to find the strength to stand head held high against them and never fall again never fall again!

As I try to speak to all of you, about myself, about my dreams, the great projects I believe in I feel so confused, but something inside me Makes me so proud, makes me so sure, about my will this time Can’t leave it behind, can’t leave it behind... It’s like if my life’s a blank page now, I need a new pen to write down All I’ve dreamed about Can become real now Following a new direction, Got a new road to walk down What I’ll finally find, Will be better than now As I try to speak to all of you, about myself, about my dreams, the great projects I believe in I feel so confused, but something inside me Makes me so proud, makes me so sure, about my will this time Can’t leave it behind, can’t leave it behind... It’s like if my life’s a blank page now, I need a new pen to write down All I’ve dreamed about Can become real now Entering a new dimension, a new road I have to begin Looking for my sun, my one and only sun It’s like if my life’s a blank page now, I need a new pen to write down All I’ve dreamed about Can become real now Following a new direction, Got a new road to walk down What I’ll finally find, Will be better than now Entering a new dimension, a new road I have to begin Looking for my sun, my one and only sun

Strada 03:07
E’ tempo perso ormai resto solo a contemplare Un altro giorno che svanisce Sulla mia strada sai Le tentazioni aumentano Ed ogni buona idea fallisce Ma ogni singolo momento non sarà rimpianto mai Vivendo tutto fino in fondo Ci accorgeremo che Io mi schianterò con te In nuove sensazioni e storie che Non puoi capire Non essendo me Ma adesso chiudi gli occhi e ciecamente fidati di me E’ notte fonda ormai E resto qui a dimostrare Il desiderio che, accresce Sei la mia strada sai Le deviazioni che avrei trovato un tempo, Grazie a te svaniscono Ma ogni singolo momento non sarà rimpianto mai Vivendo tutto fino in fondo Ci accorgeremo che Io mi schianterò con te In nuove sensazioni e storie che Non puoi capire Non essendo me Ma adesso chiudi gli occhi e ciecamente fidati di me io resterò con te fidati di me mi schianterò con te

Direzioni 04:00
Quel che provo a stare solo qui Ricordi che riaffiorano Stalattiti di lacrime E’ un completo stato di confusione Convive con me, vive per me La tua passione infrangibile Non mi troverai, non mi troverai… E’ come stare in equilibrio Sopra ad un mondo instabile Che non ci vuole più, che ci vuole giù Cercare a fondo tra i miei sogni è la via più semplice Per rimanere su, senza pericolo E mi costringo a stare chiuso qui Le mie regole, le mie remore Mi confinano in un mondo che È un completo stato di confusione Convive con me, vive per me La tua passione infrangibile Non mi troverai, non mi troverai… E’ come stare in equilibrio Sopra ad un mondo instabile Che non ci vuole più, che ci vuole giù Cercare nuove direzioni Sembra ormai più facile Che non cadere giù fissando il baratro E’ come stare in equilibrio Sopra ad un mondo instabile Che non ci vuole più, che ci vuole giù Cercare a fondo tra i miei sogni è la via più semplice Per rimanere su, senza pericolo Cercare nuove direzioni Sembra ormai più facile Che non cadere giù fissando il baratro

about

"Directions" raccoglie canzoni che ho scritto principalmente tra il 2008 e il 2010.
Durante questo periodo, l'inattività del mio gruppo principale, i "Dusk", e l'ottima alchimia vista nella collaborazione coi fratelli Daniele e Luca Mazzoni per alcuni concerti, han fatto sì che fosse naturale provare ad arrangiare insieme alcuni brani. Trovato il tassello mancante in Giordano Colombo, produttore e batterista in forza al prestigioso studio di registrazione"Auditoria Records", abbiamo deciso di registrare "Speechless", "Velocity" e "28".
Dopo alcuni concerti, che ci han portato a suonare addirittura in Finlandia, ho deciso di ampliare il progetto registrando un intero album, selezionando altri brani per cui attuare un lavoro di arrangiamento sempre più attuale, fondendo spunti di elettronica alle mie radici rock.
Dopo l'incontro col produttore Fabrizio Saullo, altri 2 brani (tra cui il singolo "Strada") vengono registrati in doppia versione italiana ed inglese, "Directions" è finalmente pronto per essere pubblicato.
