TOP

Some months ago Dendrix showed me a guitar riff. He suggested me to use it in a future song. We were rehearsing as usual in a sort of a cave at "Magazzino Parallelo". Just because I suck on writing down notes and my memory leaks neurons out of the ears, I took out my Nokia and I filmed the riff. Months passed. That riff started to become a song in my mind during the hours spent each day on the car, and it ended on that "lot" of tunes that came in my mind like a blast during that period of time. I was sure of just one thing. The song should have started with the words:"Taking the money, the power, the glory, and taking and easy way out".

I was already looking for a song called "TOP" for the "TenneT" album, that should be placed as 2nd track after "FIX" (the last one is suppose to be called "AAA", just like when people had the worst score of ever during a rushed game), so I decided to combine those elements together.

I suppose this song is talking about ambition, that can go from being number one in a video game like "Jackal", rising in the lead of a nation and leading it to a war, starting your day as Obama in a college and finishing it like Hitler in a bunker.

I'm really proud of the 30' melodic bridge of the song. It's a pretty strange combination of chords. And that Dariella from Amari liked the song :)

As for the rest... It's a demo by now. I'm leaving it up to your hears.

Tiny Tide - "TOP"

Lyrics:

"Taking the power, the money, the glory
and taking an easy way out
Leaving no trace of the previous green horns
kicking some parts out of charts

Spinning the wheels on a jeep on a jungle and
waving the stripes from the flag
Minding the mines of mischevious meanings
and leaving the past to the dust

Cause here comes the madness
a trip to hell for two
just leave it to the jackal
and make sure the jeep is full
Akai yosai
has never been so near
Tokushu Butai Tiny
breaking right trhough with some pow pow

To the Top
for a day I will be your boss
to the top
of the top of them all
To the top
ain't no credits to stop me
go crying for more

To the top
for a day I will sit and stare
to the top
of the names of them all
to the top
there's no token to take me
just one step below

Basket and courts sends me thrills when I play ball
but tanks get so tight when you grow
Carving the pumpking is fun for the classmates
but I've got some good seeds to sow

Time for a change and it's strange when day brakes
all of the rules of the dawn
A great depression for grand colations
The rose of the party was crowned

Cause here comes the nazi
an holocaust for you
just leave it to the killer
and make sure the king is fool
Akai Yosai
Got frozen by the deal
Tokushu Butai Tiny
Undertaking Seargent Quint, you loose!



YOu're memory's gonna full ya
YOu're memory's gonna full ya
We're probably gonna loose your time

YOu're memory's gonna full ya
We're probably gonna fuck your time

Cause here comes the hit
the universal pic
she spits some guided missles
but you're still so out of reach
presidential palace just became a royal tank
it's fading in the sunset
while your trying to smash her stone head


To the Top
for a day I will be your boss
to the top
of the top of them all
To the top
ain't no credits to stop me
go crying for more

To the top
for a day I will sit and stare
to the top
of the names of you all
to the top
there's no token to take me
just one step below"
