Tame Impala

Erland and the carnival

Best music i heard so far in 2010 AD.

Tell the sun

Raining moonshine in the snow
painting you upon my wall
walking on the deep blue sea
follow me
'til there's no one else around
and nowhere you can be found

breath it in and breath it out
and tell the sun you are the one
and all you wish and all you see
will soon come true with all your dreams

and i can hear the howling
of your soul
in every morning's sunshine
i see you're getting old

wait until tomorrow comes
you will find it won't be long
take a breath and let it go
as you know

telling you,telling you
the way that i feel
i'm painting flowers on the wall
waiting for,waiting for
you to be here
i'm painting flowers on the wall
'til there's no one else around
and nowhere you can be found

breath it in and breath it out
and tell the sun you are the one
and all you wish and all you see
will soon come true with all your dreams

and i can hear the howling
of your soul
in every morning's sunshine
i see you're getting old

wait until tomorrow comes
you will find it won't be long
take a breath and let it go
as you know

wait until tomorrow comes
you will find it won't be long
take a breath and let it go
as you know.

LOVE!

"LOVE!", of course, has been inspired by Love, in some of its many forms. I wrote and recorded these songs during 2003-2004. This cd is somehow magic for me, many coincidences have followed the making of it. Each song has its story. Some nice, others not. The songs are spontaneous, born to communicate and to be understood and i really wish you will enjoy them. Have fun.

• "From now on" most songs are born from suffering, and most of the suffering is because of love, somehow.
• "Tumbling man" the negation of love, the darkest side of me.
• "Welcome to the party" an acid dance song. The love for power. Real Power. Panem et circenses. Nothing has changed.
• "Blues for Kalpana" the LOVE for adventure, for knowledge. To risk your own life for it. Space. Stars. The last frontier. Dedicated to Kalpana Chawla.
• "Face to face" the first real true love song i have ever written.
• "New words" when love comes to an end all that you wish are new words to restart yourself.
  
• "The witch" I love women and their dark mysterious bewitched wild side, i have known many of them. How do witches make love ? Here's my soundtrack for it.
• "Morning girl" the feeling i got when i wrote this song was that it would have been perfect sung by Paul Mc Cartney not by my ugly voice. Paul if you're there have a listen.
• "Quello che tu sei" thinking too much about yourself can be dangerous.

Tell the sun.

"Tell the sun", my 1st CD, contains a selection of some of the best songs i wrote during the last 20 years. The songs are very different one from each other, they're a summary of my musical experiences from 1980 until now.

• "Angel of the night", one of my favourite songs, a sad and Wagner-like violins intro with an electric final vision.
• "Things you do" How sex can improve your life.
• "Chi sei?" - "Who are you?". Who are you deep down inside and late at night ?
• "Lost in the subway" This song would have probably been a hit in the '80s. I love the old new wave sound.
• "Try to speak" Just a dream in the night. Someone told me this song is "soothing".
  
• "Never seek to tell" From a poem by William Blake (1757-1827) a romantic and happy song, playing the unpredictable games of love.
• "Games to play" The sea and me. There are whale's chants at the end of the song.
• "Tell the sun" This song is about innocence. Growing older and losing it.
• "Evensong" Words and visions. The liturgy of depression.
• "I had a home" Many people like the '70s progressive sound of this song.
• "Sogno" Acoustic guitar, flamenco and psichedelic sounds.

Angels in the nights.

Games to play

Winter calls while summer falls
and walks away
Games to play in the cold
and lonely rain
I can see
I can leave
I wont' take anymore

And day by day
When the sky is turning gray
Something's calling me
Deep inside of me but so far away
I can see
I can leave
I wont' take anymore

Face to face (a song for summer)

Late at night The cold wind blows
Cold wind's calling just for you
Keep the faith
You're not alone
Not a moment in this world

And it's now or never
Should we stay together
It is all that we can do
You're my sunshine you're my rain
Only you can heal my pain
Please don't let me slip away
'cause you know that I can't live without you
and you know you know I'll never try to
all I want is you and me face to face
I want to take all the love you make
I want to stay until the end of days
'cause all I want is you and me face to face

You've taken my heart
You're important for me
Can I hold you tight tonight
I miss you when the sun is up
I miss you when the moonlight shines

And it's now or never
Should we stay together
It is all that we can do
You're my sunshine you're my rain
Only you can heal my pain
Please don't let me slip away
'cause you know that I can't live without you
and you know you know I'll never try to
all I want is you and me face to face
I want to take all the love you make
I want to stay until the end of days
'cause all I want is you and me face to face

Face to face by dariomusic

Shivers of eternity.

In the wrinkles of time
i am the danger.

While time's falling on you
like black tar rain
who'll be the next
to play the test ?

Hollow earth is still here
ready to devour frontiers
and who'll be to blame ?
the electronic brain ?

Give us hope, give us peace
or rot inside your fears.

Quello che tu sei (it's what you are)

Quello che tu sei
quello che tu vuoi
quello che non hai
quello che tu fai
quello che verrà
quello che è già
quello che non và
quello che non ha....

quello che non è
quello che non sa
quello che sarà
quello che è aldilà
quello che non sei
quello che tu sei

Quello Che Tu Sei by dariomusic

Blues for Kalpana

This is an instrumental song i wrote while the Space Shuttle Columbia was exploding on its re-entry to earth the 1 February 2003 and it's not a typical blues.
Here's the story of the birth of this song.

It was saturday morning in Italy, I woke up late (as usual) and started playing some random chords on my piano. Very soon I found myself playing 4 chords which seemed to me as if they were floating on air . I kept on playing, waiting for a variation in the melody to come out my fingers, I was fascinated by that slight change of tone of the intro. It reminded me of the stars and of the outer space. Closing my eyes I could see black sky and silvery lights. After a while I turned on the television without sound (I often do), and saw what seemed to me a normal re-entry of a Space Shuttle : I was amazed at the coincidence and I went on playing without looking at the television again, wondering about the stellar correspondence and synchronicity.

Soon I found the missing piece of the song. It fitted perfectly with the intro and seemed to have a bit of an epic touch, giving to the whole song the sensation of a sad triumphal march. I kept on playing. When I was sure that I had the whole song memorized in my mind I lit up a cigarette, looked up at the television again and saw the images of the exploding Shuttle.

I was shocked; I felt shivers up and down my spine, really got the creeps. I was thinking of synchronicity, feeling like I'd just been connected to other people's lives. I remembered a girl I had noticed before, she was in the shuttle. She was the same age as me, I saw her before on the news, she had impressed me for her beauty, intelligence and courage . I felt so sorry for her.

I finished recording "Blues for Kalpana" on the same day of the shuttle explosion.
I am honored to dedicate this song to the brave astronauts who lost their lives for all of us, and, particularly, to :

Kalpana Chawla ,41 , aerospace engineer, FAA Certified Flight Instructor and Mission Specialist for STS-107. Kalpana Chawla was responsible for more than twelve scientific experiments on the Shuttle Columbia. It was her second trip into space, the first one was in 1997. She described the earth view from space as very beautiful, and said she wished everyone could see it as she had.
Kalpana Chawla was born forty-one years ago in Karnal, about one-hundred-thirty kilometers north of New Delhi. Her friends say she always had the dream to fly. She moved to the United States in the nineteen-eighties, after graduating from Punjab Engineering College. She studied aeronautical engineering at the University of Texas in Arlington and the University of Colorado at Boulder. She became an astronaut in 1994. After Kalpana became an American citizen, she continued to stay in touch with students at her school in her hometown. Every year, she invited two of them to visit her at the American space agency. Students say she told them to follow their dreams, and that she would help them if their dreams could not come true in India. Hundreds of students had gathered at the school when the Columbia astronauts were expected to return to Earth. They prayed together when they learned the news that the shuttle had broken apart. Kalpana Chawla was the first Indian-born woman in space. But she told Indian reporters that she did not feel Indian when flying. She said that looking at the stars made her feel that she was from the solar system, not from one area of land on Earth. Millions of people in India, the United States and other nations mourned the loss of Kalpana and the other six Columbia astronauts.

From now on

From now on I will be writing a song
Instead of the heartbreaks
instead of the rules
And my familiar craving
Walking on the moon…
Yeah from now on I will be writing a song

Can you feel my hunger ?
Can't you hear me calling you ?
Do you ever wonder
What am I supposed to do
Do you think about me ?
'cause I'm feeling you

yeah from now on I will be writing a song
feeling lonely just like you
(I'm feeling lonely now….)
and my familiar craving
breaking all the rules
(I'm feeling lonely now….)
yeah from now on I will be writing a song

Can you feel my hunger ?
Can't you hear me calling you ?
Do you ever wonder
What am I supposed to do
Do you think about me ?
'cause I'm feeling you

Angel of the night

Where do we go from here ?

angel of the night
you said there's nothing to fear
angel of the night

sailing on the howling breeze
drifting in the open wild
are you going to stay with me
angel of the night

let's go down
down by the river track
morning singing
be yourself.

Post for people of Perù

This post is for the kids who emailed me from Perù asking for the lyrics of my song "parole nuove".
Since i updated my main website dariomusic they can't find the lyrics anymore, don't worry, i'll be re-uploading all the lyrics of my songs as soon as my new songs will be ready.
In the meantime here are the original lyrics of the italian version of "new words".

Parole Nuove
by
Dario-V-

-
Mi guardo intorno e vedo che
Tutto è irreale intorno a me
Gente che guarda ma non vede
Gente che prega ma non crede
Gente che vuole amore ma
Niente in cambio dà
Mi chiedo quale sia il senso più profondo di un vivere nel mondo
senza nessuna identità

Vorrei parole nuove
Gesti da far rumore
Per risvegliare la mia anima

Dimmi tu perché
Non sono ciò che voglio
Dimmi tu perché
Non dico ciò che penso
E vago senza identità
Identità smarrita
Dissolta tra le dita
Ed incapace di riemergere

Vorrei parole nuove
Gesti da far rumore
Per risvegliare la mia anima
E guardo intorno a me
Tutto questo mondo che…

Thanks to Milena De Gaetano for kindly providing me most of the words of this song.

About music, again.

My new songs are being recorded mostly during the night time, my days are so full of things to do that i can get into music only when everybody else is sleeping.

I'm listening now to what i've recorded yesterday night and i'm wondering where i've really been.
Music is the most powerful starship in the world.
It's an angel lifting you up to the skies, letting you look at things in their real perspective while filling your ears with truth.
