Mindflow #1
Today I’m a bit down. Can’t do everything. Don’t want to do everything. 
Since August I wrote so many songs, something like six. Added to Don’t Forget and the other two songs I wrote earlier they are 9 songs. Nine songs for the 12-track album :O
The first is named Found The Love. Talks about when I discovered the joy of being with other people. Is a nice power ballad with a so nostalgic chord progression in the verse. Towards the end enters the electric guitar and the melody goes higher and higher, closing quiet as it started.
The second song is called Lovely Face. Feels like this SIAM SHADE song (the video below is a cover):
It talks about the start of a new love. You know when there’s that beautiful girl you can’t wait to see everyday? Yeah, something like that. In the bridge there’s a key change and a nice progression leading to the guitar solo.
The third song is Solinsieme. It’s a portmanteu of two Italian words, solo meaning “alone” and insieme meaning “together”. The lyrics are in Italian, and are a bit abstract. Anyway, talks about the feeling you have when you’re alone and the whole world seems don’t understand you. In that situation, once I thought that maybe somewhere in the world there’s a person feeling just like you, and maybe that person is thinking exactly the same about you. The chorus says something like “why I see myself in that mirror when I know that you are beyond the mirror? I would break this mirror and embrace you, to be no more alone“, I like it so much. Speaking about music, it’s only me and the piano.
Next comes Driven. It’s so aggressive, heavy. Its lyrics are related to the story the album’s going to narrate. There’s so much rapping. To be short, it talks about love driving us to do things we’ll never do otherwise. Even something bad. It’s not something really happened to me, but I thought it would be cool talking about it.
A song I wrote about one week ago is called glamorous. Maybe it’s my more serious song. It talks about… how society cares about women today. Children having to behave different if they are males or females, all those sexy chicks on TV, the deplorable use of the term “chick” itself when addressing pretty women and all that stuff. All with a cool Spanish feel and a grotesque interlude depicting a human corrida with a lap-dancer taking the place of the bull. Strange but cool.
In the end, the late song I wrote is totally different. It talks about popstars having teens praising them, all the envious guys addressing them “faggot” for that and so on. Not for anything else is called Wanna Be A Jonas 
OK, I got to go. Hope you enjoyed this mindflow. Someday I’ll talk about the other two songs, USELESS SCHOOL and HER, and eventually post a video with me. Have a nice day! (^^)/~
P.S. I didn’t say all. In December I wrote a Christmas song too. I’ll talk about it next time. See ya!

[...] Nel mio blog da artista racconterò questo e altro, sempre in ambito musicale, con l’unica differenza che lì scrivo in inglese, il che potrebbe rendere il blog di difficile comprensione per chi non ha studiato abbastanza a scuola questa lingua . Il motivo principale per cui posto in inglese è il mio desiderio di rendere partecipi delle mie esperienze musicali i miei parenti in Canada, e secondariamente il poter rendere comprensibile le mie “peripezie” a chi non sa l’italiano, perché ho una vaga impressione che la musica che ho in mente non sarà molto gradita dagli italiani e questo mi dispiace. Non è invece questo il motivo per cui scrivo anche le canzoni in inglese: lì il motivo è dettato dal fatto che mi risulta più semplice scrivere testi diretti e di facile comprensione in quella lingua piuttosto che in italiano, dove sarei costretto a un po’ di tecniche artificiose per rientrare nei limiti della metrica (le parole italiane hanno molte sillabe e questo peggiora le cose). Questo non vuol dire che non possa scrivere anche canzoni in italiano: una delle sei tracce che ho scritto in questi mesi infatti è proprio nella nostra adorata lingua, e si chiama Solinsieme. A proposito, se volete sapere qualcosa di più su questa e altre canzoni potete leggere questo post. [...]
