Beach-Volley Fields Forever

Quite few years ago, when I was a couple, one morning I woke up, I turned the keyboard on, and played the choir of a song to the fashinating girl, still underneath the blankets. I just woke up with that score on my mind, as if I had listened to that melody on a radio for hours. Notes where still buzzin' on my brain.

"Nice. What's that?", she asked me
"I just wrote it. It's by Lenny Kravitz"

Telling the truth I'm now coninced that the melody is all mine, but for quite a period I wasn't sure if the melody of the choir was really mine or not. I guess that I just probably imagined dear Lenny singing in a dream.

I kept on playing that melody again and again in years each time I had a piano to play on. Anywhere. Don't know why. I guess they I was just very pleased to move my fingers on the keyboard on that chords.

So it happend that the chours began to have parts and grow up as a proper song, in a direction more close to Costello than Lenny.

Still the melody hadn't words... till today! The inspiration of the song come from my disappoinmente seing beach-volley fields replacing free areas on the seaside. It was so that the name "Beach-Volley Field Forever" blazed on my mind like a giant flash.

The song is divided in two parts. In the first one we're facing the delusion of finding the place we used to love ruin and changed, while in the second the same sad feeling is referred to a bad love affair.

I'm not sure about this comment and its grammar, since I'm quite tired and drunk and ate a lot (and it's only 03.40 in the afternoon), but I'll leave you anyway with this first demo along with lyrics...

"beach-volley fields forever - rough demo 01"

"It's funny you know
It's changing my soul
once over
we're closer
Still messed by the flight
No time for goodbyes
come over
we're closer
The sun in the sky
will shine in your eyes
as strand will warm your hands
a rain of glint and grain

But the place that I knew
has changed as well
as I can't believe
that sight it's true

Down on my knees
Here I'm begging you please
bring me back what is due
for I feel myself screwed
All I can see
Fucking beac-volley fields
and the place where I grew
now got ruined by youth

It's funny no more
you cheated my soul
it's over
my lover
still messed by the fight
it's time for goodbyes
move out there
I told her

The sun in the sky
Will shine out of sight
as hold will loose my hands
and rain will wash her blaim

But the girl that I knew
was changed as well
and I can't retrieve
the faith once so pure

Down on my knees..."

The band who loved beer

Don't know why. Me having practiced "Psychopath" daily two weeks long; a decent microphone; having brought a good amp to the studio; having acoustic Dean guitar on "February"; the skillful talent of Prol, Manuel and Joe, with his good music direction; but everything find his easy sweet way during our last rehearsal gig, even the never practiced "Go Ego Go" went out quite surprising.

Wait... There's another element to consider: the Officina Studio provided us... BEER!

MA GRANDISSIMA! :D :D :D

Allora. La storia e' questa. Il nome e' nato semplicemente perche'... trovavo il nome una figata pazzesca. "Tiny Tide" era veramente molto pop. C'era l'alitterazione, la doppia iniziale come per gli eroi Bonelli, il suono era dolcissimo (Tiny) ma al contempo secco e tronco (Tide).

Il suo significato programmatico era un po' uno sberleffo all'etimo del pretenzioso termine anni ottanta "NEW WAVE". Nuova ondata, nuova moda, nouvelle vogue. Quanto era pretestuoso! Noi certamente non saremmo apparsi sulla gia' immensa vasta scena musicale come una TIDAL WAVE, o per cambiare le carte in tavola. Una goccia nell'oceano. Ecco. Una cosa discreta, piccolina, ma piacevole: Tiny Tide.

Un po' anche come citazione letteraria nascosta ("An Incredible Tide" di Alexander Key) e per accodarsi al positivismo naif tipico di tante indie-band svedesi, con la loro semplicita' corredata molto spesso da strumenti giocattolo.

Che poi "Tiny Tide" significhi "Bassa Marea" e' assolutamente secondario.
Comunque "fiordico" e rassicurante :D

Kitty Jesus

A friend of mine from Black*Kitten Record, recently told me that she would bet anything to a single with "Girls From Ronta" / "Kitty Jesus". You may ask: what's "Kitty Jesus"? "Kitty J" is a demo I made for an album that never saw the light called "Prego", on which I tried to work on 2006/2007

Somewhere between "What is the light" and "Give Peace a Chance", someone has told me that this song could definelty open the way to Indie-Gospel. The crazy lyrics are dealying with some kind of mystique marathon summoning this miracle cat to help the runner out. The name "Kitty Jesus" is for sure inspired by "The Andy Milonakis Show"-

Since we Tidy already agreed for having "TPATC" a "A-Side" for our first single, what do you think about "Kitty J" for one of our 2 B-Sides?Here's the lyrics:

"Looking for a miracle
I felt so out of place
You opened up the stadium gates
and put me in this grace
Your boots were made for walking, man
on a sea already drained
So wait for me, hang over
I'll keep alive the flame

Won't you help me Kitty Jesus
I'm losing all my faith
Won't you show me Kitty Jesus
Your trace along the way

Spookie and so effable
I tought that you were done
You just pop-out again instead,
you freaked mysealf to death
Bringin back the mices,
to stab them once again
Multiplying fishes,
you're not supposed to share

Won't you help me Kitty Jesus
I'm losing all my faith
Won't you show me Kitty Jesus
Your trace along the way

So gimme gimme gimme
a sign you're coming there
Gimme gimme gimme
a way beneath the rain
Gimme gimme gimme
a light to light the place
Gimme Gimme Gimme
The fire to burn the race

Won't you help me Kitty Jesus
I'm losing all my faith
Won't you show me Kitty Jesus
Your trace along the way

Now. Na-na-na-now.
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-now."

Per fortuna che i Tiny Tide hanno un Porlock su cui contare. Dank-you Porl! :)
