The Beginning

The Beginning (from Phil Collins to Pupi Avati’s Jazz Band, the Big Bang of my story with music)
Create, Music that offers beauty,
friendship and the joy of living.
Music, it’s fun, reflection,
rebellion fight and resistance.
Music, it’s the wall against every ignorance.
Music, it’s change,
it’s conviviality.
Music builds bridges,
and brotherhood.
Support the art and the music so that
they affirm your free will, your thought.
Music, is that breath between utopia and dream, where everything can be.
The story of a jazz band / on a tv show
Captivates me / and it turns my passion on
The main actor / well he, seeps into me
Beating my drum / I follow my mission
No Teachers for a rocker self-taught in the arts
Relies on euphoria to cover all his doubts
Vinyl turn on / looking for new heroes
Improving my style / as I go
In the middle of punk music and new wave tunes
Along with my friends we made a new rock group
Arranging and recording shaping our own art
Performing on stage to everyone we love
Then the live shows / free flow emotions
Faces watching you / wanting you to play
Rise in adrenaline / It’s a magical sensation
Electricity in the air / a special display
The band is moving up becoming real rock stars
Kalashnikov’s a hit: playing on the air
The frontman’s ego starts to break up the peace
So, the Hirth project / it falls into despair
The fire remains the same as new player takes the stage
Finding the right drive to take to the new start
But nothing lasts for long / soon the curtain calls
And all the band / decide to part
To the studio we go / full of emotions
Players watching you / horizon in my sight
Shaping the right sounds / in a perfect concoction
Project your mind / in a wonderful light

Reinvent Yourself
07:10
|

Reinvent Yourself (banks, finance, corruption have profoundly affected the new generations. Reinventing yourself to fight these evils and live life day by day)
Stop yourself / and let the clocks fade
Reinvent yourself / all limits fall away
Detach yourself / from conforms of this age
Committed yourself / to take into your stage
Stay away from / killers of the arts
Engage those who want the revolution
Unleash all the energy you have
Capture it all in your imagination
Even if you feel you’re all alone
Life still belongs to all of you
Take care and love the madness
It’s simple harmony if you do
The power / of chords and notes
Lifeblood / for all the world
Antidote / to snake poison
Of greedy, corrupted / politician
Believe your dream / It yours to take
Do not be afraid / of others’ hate
Tired of gossip / freedom thieves
Fight the fancy / come with me
Abuse of socials / takes our freedom away
mouth to sing / and fingers to play
A new rule / for each and every day
Have them scream out. Your real name
Believe in your dream, believe in your dream
Believe in your dream, believe
That’s your dream / it yours to take
Do not be afraid of / others’ judgment and hate
Tired of gossip / freedom thieves
Fight the fancy / want you come with me?

My Life

My Life (dedicated to my wife, the essential part of my whole life)
When I’m with you / I’m where I should be
Where the joy runs / in and out of me
I see your shadow / always by my side
Shine away / into the night
I’ve been too damn busy / too many years
And left all that I love / drowning in tears
You’ve been all alone / long, long enough
But you’re so special / you gave me your heart
You, / you have your own special place
Here in my life
You, /you have your special way / oh yeah, yeah, yeah
In the cold / I feel the warmth / all around me
And the rush of your love / like sound it surrounds me
Taken down by adversity / taken down by reality
While all along / you stay strong
Broken in parts / by this world
There’s one thing to do / fight for love
You, / you have your own special place
Here in my life
You, / you have your own special way
Of kissing my lips
I touch your face / I call your name
Don’t ever leave me / oh no, no, no, no
Broken in parts / fighting for love
You have your own special way
Of kissing my lips
I touch your face / I call your name
Don’t ever leave me / oh no, no, no, no

An Evening with Steven Wilson
Trieste - April the 26th 2016
(the live show that have changed my life)
Steven with his friends / on April 26th
They made a show Crossing stages & borders known
And led me into a new world
a new dimension never travelled
There's nothing on this land / so exciting
When I perform I’ve never felt this before
With a Joy, and shivering / I’ve never known
Opened my eyes / to a new world
New vibration / deeply carved
I absorb the energy of the stars in front of me
The show grew / bigger and bigger
Affecting me, with / their intensity
Suddenly I discover / my new nature
In a new reality / with new aspirations.
The songs come alive / better than the real thing
With alarming / simplicity
In their complicity / everything flows
Like a calm long / blue river course
Bringing warmth / of a forgotten past
Giving new life / to my soul
Lights illuminate / all around me
I can escape / from this world I’ve known
I feed each moment of this exhibition
Turning myself into a wannabe composer
Chord by chord the Rossetti effects
Become the first track of my LP
Each frame the music grants me
Absorbing all of the alchemy
Suddenly I discover my new nature
In a new reality with new aspirations.
The songs are over / but I'm still excited
And the shine is sparkling / everywhere
Something inside me / forever changed
A new target is growing up / very fast
A new hero / is part of my life
A songwriter’s dream / now is in me
With these words written / on a highway
A new legend landed / on this world

Silent Heroes
05:17
|

SILENT HEROES (dedicated to the nearly 700.000 Russian people who with their self-denial have saved the world)
You think you live / a perfect life
Living In a place ruled by / good guys
Men and women work, / and fall in love
Children play / and nothing seems off
But not all the truth comes out / only what they want
Like a puppet in the hands / of dirty bureaucrats
Every lie creates a debt to the truth
Sooner or later, it all comes down to you
And these debts will be payed
Feel, no shame, be brave
By ordinary people,
Honest, selfless, Silent Heroes
They want to keep us / down in the dark
But you break out, the water looks out
They said you’d die / and so you lie down
lie to the truth / down to their soul
down to the thorn / down to the bone
Every lie creates a debt / to the truth
Sooner or later, it all comes down to you
These debts will be payed
Feel, no shame, be brave
By ordinary people,
Honest and selfless, Silent Heroes
Too high was
Your sacrifice
And all you want now
Is to live your life
Not knowing you saved the world
Every lie creates a debt / to the truth
Sooner or later, it all comes down to you
These debts will be payed
Feel, no shame, be brave
By ordinary people,
Honest and selfless, Silent Heroes
Russian people / Our heroes
You saved the world
But Russians love the children too

Above the Stars
06:36
|

Above the Stars (the power of love)
I come in from a rainy day
How to see and how to hit
The shadows are on your side
You belong to the hands of the night
Just like a dream / I’d like to disappear
And all the stupid things / they can stay right here
Now it's not too late / to say goodbye
Cause I don’t dream anymore / I just look forward
The principle of love / has a great meaning here
One we can follow / without any fear
Here with my joy / facing the clouds
I’m free to fly / floating with the stars going up by far
Looking down at Earth / it’s a wonderful sphere
Every breathe becomes / a joyful space to fill
I wanna tell you / what I feel
When I work / by being real
I wish I could explain
Like the sound of rain
Brings you into my mind / into my heart
And a love like this / makes us strong
We have to live love / as much as we can
Forget your past / and take my hand
Facing the clouds / I’m free to fly
Floating with the stars / going up by far
Looking down at Earth / it’s wonderful sphere
Every breathe becomes / a joyful space to fill

Growing and Fighting
09:45
|

Growing and Fighting (anorexia is the evil of teenagers)
You take the bus / with your head held down
And walk to school with… your supposed friends
Instead you were / under the breaking cloud
With a storm / cascading out
You think they told you / the reality
but they told you / just fallacies
But when you're on your own
that’s when you're free
You're growing up… and you have to believe…
We wish you the best / we are worried about your health
We won’t stop / until we reach the end
We can feel you more / than you really know
We love you more than we’ll ever show
There was a time when all was ok
Strumming your guitar / dance your hip hop
You found a simple life with happiness / it wasn’t so difficult
You have to make a list / of all your good results
And believe me / it’ s very, very long
Cause there’s a lot here / for you my dear / it’s not so difficult
You see your past / and all your secrets
You share them / with people you’ve never met
You slowly move / from our love
You're growing up / and I know, it’s hard
You are growing up / you have to
You are growing up / and You have to BELIEVE
Shame on you / for getting older every day
This is not what you are / remember who you were
You shouldn’t stand there / with all those fucking guys
Life is not something / you can do twice
You have to value / your beautiful age
You have your friends / and mum and me
Paul and Steve / are helping us too see
That the world / will shine for you Cri…
We wish you the best / we are worried about your health
We won’t stop / until we reach the end
We can feel you more / than you really know
We love you more than we’ll ever show
There was a time / when all was ok
Strumming your guitar / dance your hip hop
You found a simple life with happiness / it wasn’t so difficult
Think of all the things / you can do
And believe me / you’ll see them through
Cause there’s a lot out here / for you my dear / it’s not so difficult
Just look at the beauty / surrounding you
Enjoy every moment / that life offers you
Take strength back for dancing
Embrace your guitar / and free your voice
Embrace your guitar / and LET’S ROCK AGAIN

One Special Day
06:30
|

One Special Day (my luck to have met great musicians and dear friends)
I wake up every day / the same old story
For a long time now / just running and working
But today is special / a great event with my friends
We are playing together / at X-land
Don't think to the limits / forget all the boundaries
The music flowing / excitement on the breeze
A full of emotions / feel it in your knees /
feel it with me
I am ready for / a musical alchemy
PASSION, LOVE, HEART AND SOUL / ON THIS SPECIAL DAY
IN THE STRATOSPHERE / FLYING BEYOND THE VEIL
JUST LIKE A DREAM / YOU WISH WOULD NEVER FADE
PASSION, LOVE, HEART AND SOUL / IN THE STRATOSPHERE
The game of life / is very hard to play
don’t want to lose it / I’m here to stay
And even if / life gets hard
I wanna give it / all my art
No one can erase / this happiness
No one can erase / this artwork
And a love like this / makes us strong
We laugh it off / if things go wrong.
PASSION, LOVE, HEART AND SOUL / ON THIS SPECIAL DAY
IN THE STRATOSPHERE / FLYING BEYOND THE VEIL
JUST LIKE A DREAM / YOU WISH WOULD NEVER FADE
PASSION, LOVE, HEART AND SOUL / IN THE STRATOSPHERE

Unleash the Beauty
05:06
|

Unleash the Beauty (the decline of record companies and radio networks, which only promote shit and shitty talents, throwing real art into the toilet)
Labels want music / that can use to entertain
Only last as long / a 15 second fame
They want to create / artists in a cage
But it’s only business / a heartless game
Some just create noise / made for taking pills
Just to make money / off your health
One of the wonders / of this world
It’s crashing down / it’s fading out
It’s a big mistake / no one cares enough
It’s a failure / that will cost too much
Fight to defend the beauty
To make a better world
And let the light shine again
For our children
A musical rebellion / is what we need
Played by dreamers that can believe
a musical rebellion / it’s what we seek
It’s the goal / we have to reach
Hear the sound of music
Made with heart and soul
It flies everywhere / each listener its home
Feel the music coming / inside of you
Squeeze every note and drink in your
Music of rebellion / is what we need
Artists and dreamers who want to believe
A musical rebellion / it’s what we seek
This is our goal / we have to reach

I Wanna Play
06:52
|

I Wanna Play (freedom to narrate the daily life playing the guitar and honour the beauty of good music)
I wanna play my songs / so please come along with me
I wanna tell you stories / I’ve lived in my life intensely
Walking on a cloud / feel the right sound
Bleeding on the ground / while I’m travelling around
I let go all the lack / and now I’m in a joyful attack
I wanna sing my songs / and wake you up to see through them
Sparkling from inside/declaring on the outside
Living alike / as I write
I will be apart / from today’s art
My music turns to joy and everything around me is destroyed
Encounters and stories / and moments of a life in style
Shaping my songs that are steeped in emotions
Records can last long / when composition goes beyond
This turn of age / with the foolish and the fake
I will be apart / from today’s art
My music turns to joy and everything around me is destroyed
I will be apart / from today’s wave
On vinyl must end / performing is what I crave
I will be apart / I will be apart
From today’s art / From today’s wave
I will be apart / I will be apart
My music turns to joy / Performing is what I crave

And Then Comes
06:06
|

And Then Comes… (our beautiful landscapes against the bad of digital world)
When I’m out riding / near where I live
Feels like floating / with open eyes
Cause I can move / to the bloom
And I'm on my way / I’m with my thoughts
Look at the people stress / fighting with cars and phones
On street corners avoiding / their lovers calls cause they got plans now / and tonight they won't be home
Don't let it / bring you down / capture the morning star
and then you can fly / free your mind
Feeling inside your soul feeding your own control
Moving in flow. All around the world
And Regenerate / again and again
You’ll start awakening / falling in love
Finding yourself again / in a dialogue
Sore necks and teenage wrecks in this smart age
Just look at the world / then things will change
Don't let it bring down / Capture the morning star
And then you can fly / free your mind
Feeling inside your soul / feeding your own control
Moving in flow. all around the world
And sing your songs / for all the world
