DAYS LIKE THIS is the second chapter of The Songbook Chronicles EP4 – Transmuting: it sounds like a dreamy, airy track but it’s actually celebrating those days “where you wanna leave everything behind” and hide from the world. It’s a celebration because in the end, for all those shadows to be there a lot of light is required: but how hard is to see it when you’re in midlle of darkness!

The song does not have the usual Verse-Bridge-Chorus structure, but it’s a wave where dynamics play the main role. The mix of contemporary beat-making with a traditinoal drumset played with brushed, arpeggiators, Rhodes electric piano and organ contribute to the atmosphere, where time is suspended in a meeting between modernn and vintage.

ITA

DAYS LIKE THIS è il secondo capitolo di The Songbook Chronicles EP4 – Transmuting: sembra un brano sognante e arioso, ma in realtà celebra quei giorni "in cui vuoi lasciarti tutto alle spalle" e nasconderti dal mondo. È una celebrazione perché alla fine, affinchè tutte quelle ombre ci siano, ci vuole tanta luce: ma quanto è difficile vederla quando sei in mezzo alle tenebre!

La canzone non ha la solita struttura Verse-Bridge-Chorus, ma è un'onda in cui la dinamica gioca il ruolo principale. Il mix di beat-making contemporaneo con una batteria tradizionale suonata con le spazzole, gli arpeggiatori, il piano elettrico Rhodes e l’organo contribuiscono a creare l'atmosfera, dove il tempo è sospeso in un incontro tra moderno e vintage.

lyrics

DAYS LIKE THIS (S.Cocchi)

There’ll be days like this
When you wanna leave everything behind
There’ll be days when you cherish
Every single thing that you find
Sometimes you don’t know why you’re getting out of bed
But you do it anyway
‘cause days like these are the ones
The ones that make you want to play

A game that is different
With rules you created yourself
While the pieces of you life are all there
Looking at you from the shelf
You say “Thank you for what you’ve done
And for watching over me”
But there’ll be days like this
When you just need to go
And be a little lost at sea

And you know you’ll feel out there on you own
Like a ship that hasn’t yet found a shore
But something deep inside
makes you want to go on
in case there is just a little more

All the times when you broke yourself down
Cannot get rid of them no matter where you go
There’ll be days like this
When you surrender to the breeze
Or the heavy winds that blow

And they will lead you to startling places
Where you’ll encounter different kinds of faces
There’ll be days like this
When all the time you think you lost
Makes you realize that you’re on your own

Days like this
When you don’t know what you’re gonna do
A lump in your throat
and a heartache that is piercing through

Make you tougher with no bitterness
Softer in a very strange way
Cause it’s in days like this
That you can make the haunting past fade away
Ohh fade away
Fade away
Ohh fade away
Fade away
Ohh fade away
Fade away
There’ll be days like this
There’ll be days like this
There’ll be days like this

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
