about

ITA: Come closer 2020 é il risultato della varietá di influenze musicali a cui SirJo é stato esposto, principalmente grazie alla collezione di vinili di famiglia, composta da una non vastissima ma significativa scelta di Blues, Classic e Prog Rock, Jazz, cantautorato, Folk, New Wave e alcuni album di difficile classificazione. La sua permanenza a Los Angeles appena compiuti i vent'anni ha significato un'immersione profonda nella musica dei neri americani, principalmente Soul, Funk e Rhythm & Blues (influenze che risultano evidenti nei tre precedenti singoli dell'Ep), ma con Come Closer SirJo Cocchi mostra il suo amore per la musica Rock nella sua forma più semplice: piano acustico, basso elettrico, cori ed una chitarra distorta costituiscono la essenziale strumentazione del pezzo che ha poche sovraincisioni a parte una molto significativa, l'orchestra, il cui contributo dá un tocco di epicitá all'inciso e completa il paesaggio sonoro della canzone.

ENG: “The sound of Come closer 2020 was born after a dear friend of mine, who shares with me the passion for Prince, told me to check out a live version of him singing Creep, the song by Radiohead”. Come closer is a result of the variety of musical influences that SirJo was exposed to, mainly thanks to the family's vinyl collection, which had a not huge but significant choice of Blues, Classic and Prog Rock, Jazz, Songwriters, Folk, New Wave and a few hard-to-classify recordings. Staying in Los Angeles in his early 20's meant a deep dive into the world of american black music, mainly Soul, Funk and Rhythm & Blues (influences that are evident in the previous three singles of the Ep), but with Come closer SirJo Cocchi shows his love for Rock music in its simplest form: acoustic piano, electric bass, backup vocals and a rocking guitar form the essential instrumentation of the track, that has very few overdubs except for a significant one, the orchestra that contributes to the chorus giving it an epic, cinematic feeling that completes the sonic landscape.

lyrics

COME CLOSER 2020 (SirJo Cocchi)

VS
Here it comes again
This feeling’s old but never the same
Everytime is stronger
And I wish I could find the words to say
You’re a queen and now I’m a king
I’ve been waiting for a lifetime
To be able to stand your dazzling light

CH1
And I don’t wanna take you away from here
I don’t wanna give you a world without tears
I just want to come closer
I just want to come closer
And I don’t wanna give you everything you want
Cause I know you already got it all
But maybe you want me closer
Maybe you need to feel me closer

VS2
Touched by the morning beams
Then we took our time off it seems
Maybe it will be so again
I won’t see you for years and then
One night I will dream of you
And I’ll feel that urge within
I’ll give you a sign then
And I hope I won’t be too late

CH2
And I don’t wanna take you away from here
I don’t wanna give you a world without tears
I just want to come closer
I just want to come closer
And I don’t wanna give you everything you want
Cause I know you already got it all
But maybe you want me closer
Maybe you need to feel me closer

CODA
And so here we are
You told me your name means “the brightest star”
So won’t you come closer
And shine your light on me
Please come closer

about

SirJo Cocchi Milano, Italy

I'm a singer-songwriter, atypical keyboardist and producer, I'm based in Milan, Italy and my sound is a SoulFunkPop trip where I mix modern and vintage. I started singing as a kid and developed a vertical, grooving approach to the keyboard also because I was born with dysmelia in my left hand. The Songbook Chronicles is my current project, a series of 6 interconnected thematic EPs. ... more
