Me and the beatles .. the beatles and me (the walrus inside)

I just read that the next Beatles' collection and remixes
Cd will be called "Love"... just like my latest Cd which I
published in 2004.
This is the latest of many coincidences happened between me
and them so I just wish to spend a couple of words about it.
It's like a circle that closes in.

I was born on the same day the first single from the Beatles
"Love me do" was released on the market. It was back on the
beginning of the sixties. I grew up with their music and
inspiration. I still can recall the feelings i got when i
was just few years old and i heard "Eleanor rigby", I didn't
understand a single word of what Paul sang, i was attending
the elementary school, but i perfectly understood the
feeling of loneliness inside that song. I also can recall
the big shock I had when the italian television broadcasted
the cartoon "Yellow submarine". It was amazing to see the Glove
fly and Blue Meanies bleaching things. When the Beatles took
the "G" out of the destroyer glove and transformed it in Love
it just became a part of my imagination as a kid.

There has always been some kind of connection between me and
the Fab 4, i'm a libra just like John, I got married with an
asian girl like him, I even have been menaced by some sort
of idiot fan just like him,i also was afraid to be shoot. My
daughter is named after Beatles first disco graphic company.
The funny thing of it all is that i didn't do anything
consciously.

It gives me a sort of tender feeling to think about Paul and
Ringo as they are now, they represent a big slice of my
life, i can only thank them all from the very deep of my
heart for having taught me that love is all we need.
What will remain of them ?

This crazy world seems to have forgotten Love, although we
need it now more than ever, so I hope that their new Cd will
bring us a memory of what could have been if those years had
fulfilled their promises of love and peace instead of being
devoured by history and Blue Meanies.

Still here after all these years.

Apologies.

I must apologize with all my fans and friends for having
been so far, cold and crazy lately. I've been through one of
the worst periods of my life. I finally understood that my
life is actually what I made of it and that I can't change
it as much as i wish.

It's time for me to stay in my cold and far dwarf planet,
taking a look at things from a distance, without being
personally involved.
Just writing and creating as I always did.

I'm a kind of dreamer and my destiny is to dream and make
others dream with my works.

I can't be real. I'm just a voice from your loudspeakers,
some colored pixels on your computer screens.
But I couldn't have been real without you.

Useful thoughts for making good bad dreams

Feeling out of focus like a broken mirror
on the wrong path since the day i was born
looking from the bottom of the ocean at the top of a mountain
speaking all the languages of the world, writing on the sand
too many connections to handle
too many decisions to take
better to take no decision at all ?
let time and God do what they want because i am not free to
choose
so just lay down and look at things passing by
just being glad of being alive
though feeling lonely, far and cold yet being glad of a
useless breathing
opening up eyes day after day 'till there will be no days
left, no eyes to open
just a wasted opportunity to understand what i was looking for
neglected feelings all on the way
being on the verge of my second half of life brings a sense
of urge, a sense of drama, of conclusions to make, they'll
make themselves anyway
making a sense making a sense out of the nothing
is there any sense in making a sense ?
quantum leaps are everywhere
indeed should i care ?
is suffering the only meaning we're able to choose amongst
roses and stones ?
rolling down the mountain
driving with no brakes
dreaming of a life, living in a dream
wonder who will remain ? which of me will stay ? does it
mean much ? does it make any sense ?
when i was young i had a belief, my relief : the whole
universe was completely crazy at my eyes
it reassured me, everything was clear
why am i trying to make sense out of the mandala ?
i'm in too deep, i'm in too deep
to look at the picture
i'm lost in details
all that is above is like all that is below
what goes down will not come up
termical death
a broken mirror
a sense of death
all around
awaited
like a friend in the night
a dream inside a nightmare
illusion in reality
a stillness in light
just a little fraction of E.M. waves
our sight is our knowledge
our knowlegde is blindness
hurting is our religion
the power and the glory
and everybody's lonely hanging on to somebody else's shoulder
fighting to keep the fire alive
even pain is better than nothing when you got nothing else
in your hands
a slamming door, steps on the stairs, wooden noises
shhhh.....be quiet.....make up your mind.....
kiss madness goodbye.

Merciful death

Merciful death
by Hager.

You're there signing papers,you signed them
i can't think,but if i could
i stray away ,my mind does so for me
i lean on my shoulder in the corner
but i'm supposed to be a strong-hearted person
and pull it out when it's time to say stop!
and in my head there's no time,time's limitless
why shouldn't you be?i could.
i could make you timeless
i won't pull anything and leave you there alive

is this a situation where i'm tested in
how does god do it?
how does he have the heart to take your living secret
inside you
and make us bury you six-feet under?
how?
evrybody's looking at me and eyes say'...'
what are they saying?i'm not even concentrating,not even
looking,not even remembering
that i looked in their direction...
i'm slightly shaking my head
you couldn't see me could you?

what am i supposed to do?
i shake my head again;i can't become heartless
but my hand has another programming
stretching out to the device,wanting to turn it off
i'm motionless,paralyzed,yet my head's working.
if i were more sensitive i would have been crying
and the devices and place wouldn't be clear to me
there'll be time for that,when time comes
it's timeless now,do you know that?

honestly:who's the one suffering?the patient
or the attenders(family,friends,etc)?
neither would the patient want to die
nor would we want them to die
so why kill them?
life's sacred and beautiful... why leave it forcefully?
unless it's God's wish to.we could argue
but not stop Him from forcing us to depart

i touch the device and the plug
i pat them and look down.
one turn to you,a deep breath
a look into emptiness
.......
and then i'm gone.
.....
you'll rest in peace,
whether in bed or in your coffin
definitely i know
definitely i know
definitely i know.

Food for your eyes

I'm actually collecting audio and video material for my next cd, have been playing a while with the cam and some free programs to edit video-clips just to see what I could do.

I post this link for anybody who wants to see me performing one the songs from my last cd LOVE!
The song is called "New words".
Here is the original mp3 song and here the song videoclip in .wmv format, you can watch it with a normal Windows Media Player and even download it if you haven't got anything better to do...
Enjoy it.
