Carsten Pieper If it weren't for the (sometimes undeniable but charming) Italian accent, you'd have no clue, that this album came from Italy. This kind of highly sophisticated, well, singer-songwriter-pop usually lets you think of Anglo-Saxon songsmithery (does this word exist?). "...a blend of the Beatles, Brian Wilson and the Go-Betweens", big names for sure, but the liner notes have a point ;-)
Great songs, very well arranged and performed! Favorite track: Silent Brother.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) The Beatles? Brian Wilson? The Go-Betweens? Hey, this list of "main influences" has a lot in common with my list of favorite bands and artists! And even better, Andrea Calvo's songwriting fully lives up to the expectations. Favorite track: Somebody Must Fall.

I remember the clouds floating over me the storm chaser driving his car patiently. All the pain is mine, the boy fills his homemade balloons. We are neglected and frail over a faraway sea, where we meet, where we fall, here we meet, then we fall. Real life is nothing but the strings in your hand. I remember them flying above our heads, the policeman didn’t shut the car door properly. All the colors were freed. The boy follows them in the clouds. We are neglected and frail over a faraway sea, where we meet, where we fall, here we meet, then we fall. Real life is nothing but the strings in your hands.

Circus Days 02:37
You see me walking, yearning nights. Watch my steps, watch me, dance along the rope. There’s a shadow in my dress there’s a hole I’m gazing in, it fades on me. Look up and follow me down, Look up and follow me down, in a long and cold desire. Every time they follow me, I guess I’ll dance alone. I have been the main star indeed. So many people under me. Tonight I left my dress below while my body flies up still somewhere, towards the other Big Show. Look up and follow me down, Look up and follow me down, in a long and cold desire. Every time they follow me, I guess I’ll dance alone.

We stop each other at the door, don’t you see? I figured out how closer doesn’t mean near. I put my ear on the ground, can’t hear a sound. I figured out how closer doesn’t mean near. I’ve seen this movie once before I know the closing scene: She needs to please her heart. I need it ever since. Now we are left so cold and sad through the pleasures and the pain. I figured out how closer doesn’t mean near. I’ve seen this movie once before I know the closing scene: She needs to please her heart. I need it ever since.

Human Noise 03:21
Painting figures black and white thinking about how long we’ve been alone. I’m drawing lines around the meaning of this blue, thinking about a burning out desire. So help me find out more how to face another day help me to escape again from this anger that surrounds me. Final words of letters sent to no-one fill the blackness, melt and turn into human noises. Too many fool illusions tears fell from your side just to drag me down to the beginning. How long does it take to get out of this cage? ...though I’ve gone away I cannot be so far. So help me find out more how to face another day help me to escape again from this anger that surrounds me. Final words of letters sent to no-one fill the blackness, melt and turn into human noises. Rub the bloodstains out and clean what’s left behind by the silence of my heart.

Junkyard 03:24
Another cloud has gone the rain has passed. I cut this picture in two, lost the side with you on. Walking backward through the city’s greed, share the sunshine with me before my tears may hit the ground. Watching the afternoon sun I dig inside of me till I remember who you are I don’t remember who you are. Another day has gone the rain has passed So people pass me by, no smile is given. Buildings surround the path of my wayward life. Maybe I’ll disappear again, I will lay no longer Watching the afternoon sun I dig inside of me till I remember who you are I don’t remember who you are.

Fall upon the days never ending rain, passing through the time that slips away. I cross the waters now, let me go. I heard the speaker say: “somebody closed the house of God, somebody slammed the door” I know I will be stuck here but leaving just my flesh and bones I know I will be sitting there beyond the Trail. Walking through the day when September ends when my shoes are full of a different kind of rain. Across the neighborhood, just let me go. For I heard the speaker say: “somebody closed the house of God, somebody slammed the door” I know I will be stuck here but leaving just my flesh and bones I know I will be sitting there beyond the Trail.

Don’t fade away in the crowd when everybody stares at everything that’s broken. So don’t get me wrong all is still the same I see everywhere maybe I need to lift off the ground. Don’t walk away in the crowd when everybody shouts and keeps on their cheating... So don’t get me wrong I am still the same I don’t feel a thing maybe I need to lift off the ground. I guess if something is missing, somebody must fall. I guess if somebody is missing, somebody must fall. I’ve been where nobody is around I’ve been asleep Misled by my selfness. So don’t get me wrong all flowed endlessly I’m still loving you maybe I need to lift off the ground. I guess if something is missing, somebody must fall. I guess if somebody is missing, somebody must fall.

Listen to the soul that's speaking, coming through the brightest places, down to me. Listen what's racing through a timeless feeling Listen what's racing through a timeless feeling everybody’s love seems to run away Listen to my soul that's speaking I will share the same intention starting from the scratch Listen what's coming through a timeless feeling Listen what's coming through a timeless feeling everybody’s love seems to run away Listen what's coming through a timeless feeling Listen what's coming through a timeless feeling everybody’s love seems to run away

How could I ever be far from you? Such a deep way for hiding my memories Blinded by the rage nothing worthwhile can you open your sad eyes? Mistakes in my every day uncertain ways to shoot our movie hidden in my brain there’s nothing worthwhile can you open your sad eyes? Nothing can go wrong today can’t go wrong nothing can go wrong today I can’t be wrong. I thought I might have been someone else no name, my drawings suddenly vanished buried in your mind nothing worthwhile can you open your sad eyes? Getting over Getting over my days aware nothing worthwhile can you open your sad eyes?

From a window her memories and a trace of doubt. A trace of sadness, she’s standing here, standing wide awake. Trace of shadows all along the barricades and from a window I recall my memories again... That’s the way she’s calling that’s the way she knows leaving all the pain behind the drops bend the flowers so she never knew she gave up to the meaning and the face. She’s a flower seeding smiles across the field. Again the sadness, she’s standing here standing wide awake. I am sleeping all along the harbor’s place and form this window I recall my memories again... That’s the way she’s calling that’s the way she knows leaving all the pain behind he drops bend the flowers so she never knew she gave up to the meaning and the face.

I need to know what’s going on, I need to know. I see a smile upon your face I’m in a room filled up with words I need to hold you tight when you dream the things you get when you get what you deserve it’s me? who’s really dreaming all of you? I see that nothing changes even when it’s getting better nothing even after stuck inside a deeper state of mind. I need to say or to scream and shout, I need to be. It was a pretty dream about our life, like in a book without a cover I can show myself when you dream the things you get when you get what you deserve it’s me? who’s really dreaming all of you? I see that nothing changes even when it’s getting better nothing even after stuck inside the deepest state of mind.
