Games to play

2009-06-29T19:42:00.001+02:00

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)

2009-06-21T15:33:00.002+02:00

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

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.

Total rest.

2009-06-10T12:12:00.001+02:00

This world has turned into a disgusting place to live in and
everything is a total mess.
I wish i knew just what would put this world to peace... and
final total rest.

These years of darkness.

Whitened repositories got our lives in their hands,
pushing us towards their promised lands
labs of hate your minds have been made,
sealing your fate till your souls disintegrate.

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

2009-05-28T17:28:00.002+02:00

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

These little men,
small hearted,
miserable minded,
they made you blind,
and keep you down,
they feed you lies,
and numb your minds,
when will you wake up,
when will you realise,
that their dreams are your nightmares ?

To my fellows the freaks.

Look at my tarantula,
she's so calm on my wall,
so aware of it all,
quite a nice gal,
keeps me away from hell,
if you ask her what will be,
she'll just smile at me,
and i'll tell you "hey my freak,
look up there, what do you see?".

I grieve.

Blues for Kalpana

2009-05-02T18:45:00.004+02:00

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.

Who'll be the 1st ?

Same day, same place, 2 different news.

Mexico City at epicenter of growing swine flu fears.

Strong earthquake felt in Mexico City.

Now i'm waiting for the next 1st big asshole who'll say this is some god's punishment for human sins.
I'd agree if it was for human stupidity.

From now on

2009-04-09T13:48:00.006+02:00

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.

Life comes at night
between darkness and lights
blurred trails and good wine
here's where beauty lays
some good friends and good laughs
we are here right on time
nobody owns me at night
let the whole world be mine
while the moments go wild
and the memories arise
we will all be as one
waiting for life at night.

thank you all friends

Post for people of Perù

2009-03-13T16:38:00.004+01:00

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.

How could i ?

2009-02-08T13:40:00.003+01:00

I mean how could i talk about my music while in the meantime my country is stinking more and more with everyday passing by ? music becomes so meaningless, it's been perverted, it has become just another way to control the masses.
Let us get rid from the bringers of absolut truth, let us have the strenght to look within ourselves.
And those who can't do it then just shut up their fucking mouths.

I'm very sorry and also feel humiliated for the dullness of some of the so called politicians and leaders of my country.
Wish you were my President.
