FOLLOW YOUR SUN

dream days like million falling stars
and you as pure as every father's child
so I stay close and walk you along these roads
until you stop then nicely drop my hand
I hear your freedom calling out your name
you strongly hug me as you've never done
so I see you are ready for your flight
with wide open heart you feel the lifting breeze

feel it now…feel it now

see you soon my lovely one
the journey will be hard and fun
you'll always find me anytime

don't forget and follow your sun
it's where your happiness will stand
right through those darken days you'll fly

YOU ARE CLOSE NOW

A new sun's shining through my window frame
a mountain's growing into my warm chest because
you are close now....you are close now
your little belly's smiling like a cake
my numbers and inclination can't take rest because
you are close now....you are close now

so we're gonna meet
and never sleep
we'll be running around for everything
and we'll make it allright
all the way
from cradle to the latest grave
and I'll kiss you right in front of the world
cause everybody must know that our love will win through

We are close, we are close, we are close now
We're gonna meet now.

C'era una volta un piccolo Re
giocava e scherzava con te
e quando la notte si calava giù
donava pianeti e bijoux
non andate via da qui
almeno fin quando il cielo sarà lucente
e lentamente t'accompagnerà
tra sogno e realtà
e sopra venti bombardamenti
t'addormenterai e poi te ne andrai.

BEAUTIFUL DIVES

All i want is to show you
how much i love you
because my time flies
through my skin
I am seeing you so growing
like summer's coming
it will make our sun glow
like our cheeks
When you'll jump for big dives
don't be afraid of depths and whys
let your hearts always guide you
over the waves
Beautiful dives
They'll be beautiful dives

All i want is to feed you
future will need you
i guess it'll be fine
like our love
I am sailing and floating
throughout your stories
you know they're like mine
drops of life
When you'll jump for big dives
don't be afraid of depths and whys
let your hearts always guide you
over the waves
Beautiful dives
They'll be beautiful dives

Goodnight my sister
don't be afraid
this time you'll dream of
freedom and aid
we all long to live
our world in peace
goodnight my sister
sleep beside me

you you belong
to flowers and sun rays above the sea
you too behold
the many stars hanging above this box unfold

A couple of weeks ago, on a lazy sunday, i've decided to write a note on my Facebook profile
saying that i would have wrote a song to the first friend who replied.
Chicco's been the first one to reply and I asked him how he would have liked this song to be.
He gave me few clues: a downtempo melancholy song, deep bassdrum, dry snare sound,
strings and with lyrics about the difficulties of communication with people close to you.
This is what i've ended up with.

The most ancient and poetic music i have ever heard.
Performed by Naxi musicians in the old town of Lijiang (China).

AUTHENTICITY
If it acts like a duck (all the time), it's a duck.
Doesn't matter if the duck thinks it's a dog, it's still a duck as far as the rest of us are concerned.
Authenticity, for me, is doing what you promise, not "being who you are".
That's because 'being' is too amorphous and we are notoriously bad at judging that.
Internal vision is always blurry. Doing, on the other hand, is an act that can be seen by all.
As the Internet and a connected culture places a higher premium on authenticity (because if you're inconsistent, you're going to get caught) it's easy to confuse authentic behavior with an existential crisis. Are you really good enough, kind enough, generous enough and brave enough to be authentically a hero or leader?
Mother Theresa was filled with self doubt.
But she was an authentic saint, because she always acted like one.
You could spend your time wondering if what you say you are is really you.
Or you could just act like that all the time. That's good enough, thanks.
Save the angst for later.
