THE ABSURD CLAIM TO HAVE UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING (reworking of original instrumental track by Silvio Vinci) I drew a circle around the sky, gave every star a reason why, named every shadow, measured the rain, put little numbers beside every pain. The absurd claim to have understood everything— while the universe laughs without saying a thing. I found the answers under my bed, between forgotten books...

GRAB IT AND IT PASSES YOU BY Neon running down the street, midnight moving underneath, everybody wants a sign, everybody waits in line. You keep looking for the door, while the rhythm hits the floor, don’t you wait to wonder why— grab it and it passes you by. Grab it— and it passes you by, grab it— before it slips out of sight. Move it, feel it, don’t ask why, you gotta catch that moment before it...

OUTDOOR MACHINE (reworking of Kolynn Outdoor Machine, original instrumental track by Silvio Vinci) Outside the wires, outside the room, under a radioactive moon, feet on the gravel, eyes on the green, I’m switching on the outdoor machine. Wind in the circuit, dust in my head, flowers are moving, electric red, nothing is quiet, nothing is clean, everything feeds the outdoor machine. Outdoor machine...

THE FARMER The farmer wakes before the sun, when silver fields are breathing slow, he puts his old brown jacket on and walks where only shadows go. The morning hangs upon the trees, a quiet fire behind the hill, he hears a language in the breeze the city never learned to feel. Oh, farmer, take your time, the earth is turning anyway. Leave your worries on the line, let the wind carry them away. A r...

REUPTAKE (reworking of Serotonin Reuptake, original instrumental track by Silvio Vinci) Morning leaks in through a chemical sky, I wake with someone’s memory moving behind my eyes. The city breathes slow, its windows painted grey, every thought comes back to me then quietly slips away. Serotonin reuptake, keep the signal alive, something in the bloodstream is teaching me to survive. Serotonin reup...

THE RED FIELD (reworking of Sinthesi, original instrumental track by Silvio Vinci) The wheat stands still under a wounded sky, rows without a farmer, birds that forgot to fly. A red sun hangs like an eye above the land, watching every shadow crawl across the sand. In the red field nothing ever grows old, the earth keeps dreaming while the world turns cold. In the red field at the edge of the night...

La magia dell'IA. Riportare alla luce , ripulire e riaccendere di vita i pezzi degli Amanita ,registrati 30 anni fa con un walkman, durante i live , e rivivere coi brividi sulla pelle, quei bellissimi ricordi di gioventù, è una delle cose che più mi diverte fare. Long Time Gone, cover dei CS&N, era uno dei classici degli amanita dal vivo , era perfetta per esplodere nel climax dell'improvvisazione...

THEORY OF MAYBE (reworking of original instrumental track by Silvio Vinci, Ipotesi) I saw tomorrow in a glass, It had no future, had no past, A yellow horse was counting rain Inside the corridors of my brain. The ceiling opened like an eye, A paper moon began to cry, I asked the shadow for my name — It smiled and disappeared again. Maybe I’m here, Maybe I’m gone, Maybe the night Is dreaming the da...

ATOMS IN THE WHISPER (reworking of original instrumental track , Atoms in the whisper, by Silvio Vinci) Atoms in the whisper, Dust behind the sun, Something keeps on moving When everything is done. Velvet on the ceiling, Mercury below, I can feel the colour But I don’t know where to go. Atoms in the whisper, Calling through the wire, Tiny little secrets Dancing in the fire. Atoms in the whisper, M...

PROJECTIONS (reworking of original instrumental track , Projections, By Silvio Vinci) You throw your shadow on my wall, Make it ten feet wide and tall, Tell me things I ought to be, But every picture looks like me. You paint the future black and white, Then disappear into the light, I hear your voice behind the door — I don’t believe it anymore. Projections! Coming through the glass, Projections!...

SPACE PAINT -pt.2 - Alternate version (by Silvio Vinci) Silver dust upon the window, Saturn hanging in the rain, I can hear the planets turning Like a slow and distant train. You were sleeping in the blue light, With the moon across your face, And I drew a line around you Just to keep you there in space. Space paint, Running down the walls of night, Colours nobody can name, Burning softly out of s...

SECOND HAND TRUTH (reworking of instrumental original track, Polium, by Silvio Vinci) You heard it on the corner, you read it on the wall, everybody’s talking but nobody knows at all. You wear somebody’s answer like a brand-new suit, but I don’t need another second hand truth. Second hand truth — coming down the line. Second hand truth — somebody else’s mind. Take it, shake it, turn it inside out....

HOMEWORK (reworking of original instrumental track, Homework, by Silvio Vinci ) I’ve been reading all the signs, trying to straighten crooked lines. Teacher said, “Boy, learn the rules,” but I learned more outside of school. Got no answers on my page, just a rhythm in a cage. Give me time, give me room — I’ll find the truth inside the groove. Homework! I’ve been working all night long. Homework! T...

PODCAST - By Silvio Vinci Everybody’s got a microphone, talking like they’re never alone. Big ideas in a little room, selling truth with a plastic boom. Swipe it up, turn it down, another king without a crown. Everybody knows the way — everybody’s got something to say. Podcast! Talk it to me, talk it fast. Podcast! Make the moment last. Turn it up, break it down, send that funky word around. Midni...

BLACK NIGHT (by Silvio Vinci) Verse 1 Black night crawling up my wall, low light, I can hear it call. Street heat running through my shoes, no sleep — got nothing to lose. Black night, keep it rolling slow. Black night, take me where I wanna go. No questions, no alibis, just that rhythm in your eyes. Back door, quarter after two, blue smoke hanging over you. One look, everything goes still, one be...

CAVE WATER DROPS I walked where the daylight Forgot how to stay, Down through the silence, Far from the day. The walls held their shadows, The cold knew my name, And somewhere in darkness A little drop came. Cave water drops, One by one, Counting the years Where there is no sun. Cave water drops, Soft and slow, Tell me the things Only old stones know. I dreamed of a river That flowed through the a...

TAKE THE CURVE (reworking of original instrumental track , The Curve, By Silvio Vinci) I saw you standing by the light, Black boots shining in the night, You said, “Don’t follow what you know — There’s another way to go.” Take the curve! Don’t slow down! Take the curve! Turn it all around! No straight lines, no return — Hit the curve and let it burn! Street signs pointing everywhere, Cheap suits t...

BORROWED MORNING (reworking of original instrumental track , Lormetazepam, by Silvio Vinci) Something quiet closed the door, I don’t remember anymore. Faces melted into walls, Distant voices down the halls. I dreamed in pieces, out of time, Someone else’s sleep was mine. It’s a borrowed morning, A borrowed light, I left my dreams Somewhere last night. My eyes are open, My head is slow, I know I’m...

LOW GEAR (reworking of original instrumental track , Mistikanza, by Silvio Vinci) Keep it low, Keep it tight, Something moving Underneath the night. No destination, No need to know, Just hit the pocket — And let it go. Low gear, All night long, Low gear, Where the beat belongs. Don’t push it, Don’t make it clear — Just ride that rhythm In low gear. One step forward, Half step back, Fingers burning...

FRIENDSHIP (reworking of Friendship , instrumental by Silvio Vinci) We don’t need a reason, we don’t need a plan, you know where I’m going before I know where I am. Some people come like thunder, some disappear like rain, but you keep walking with me down that same old crooked lane. Friendship — no promises to keep. Friendship — it runs a little deep. No questions, no conditions, nothing left to p...

BLUES FOR JULIE (reworking go Blues For Julie, instrumental by Silvio Vinci) Julie came by in the morning, sunlight falling through her hair, I was looking for an answer, she just smiled and left it there. Blues for Julie, slow and easy, sweet and low, Blues for Julie, there are things she’ll never know. Julie moves across the city, like a shadow dressed in gold, every word she leaves behind her t...

RUBBER WALL (reworking of Muro di Gomma , original Track by Silvio Vinci) I knocked on your door till my knuckles turned red, I called out your name, but the silence spoke instead. Every word I throw at you comes rolling back to me, I’m talking to a shadow that don’t wanna hear or see. Rubber wall, throw my words right back at me. Rubber wall, ain’t no door and ain’t no key. I push, you move, then...

MISSISSIPPI DRAW (by Silvio Vinci) Sun went down on a cotton road, Sun went down, Lord, I walked alone. Got dust in my shoes, And trouble in my bones. River keeps rollin’, black and slow, River keeps rollin’ where the lost men go. I called my baby’s name, But the water don’t know. It’s that Mississippi draw, Pullin’ me down low. That Mississippi draw, Won’t ever let me go. I got one hand on the bo...

VAMP (reworking, add vocal of Original Track Vamp, by Silvio Vinci) She came in late with a midnight smile, Black dress moving in a dangerous style. She took one look, then turned away — Left that rhythm with nothing to say. Low light burning, heat on the wall, She don’t need nothing, she don’t need us at all. One step forward, two steps slow, Everybody watching where she’s gonna go. Vamp… Keep th...
