ENG : Finally, after recording a lot of new songs with the Songbook project, the first single opens the door for our first EP, coming out in full Summer.

Hold on was the first song we recorded and I remixed it just recently: we liked this new version so much we decided it had to be the single. The vocal take was done right there with the guys playing in the room and the soulful funk vibe serves the message of the song, that has an alchemical twist to it.

ITA: Finalmente, dopo aver registrato tante nuove canzoni col progetto Songbook, il primo singolo apre le porte per il nostro primo EP, che uscirà nel mezzo dell'estate.

Hold on è stata la prima canzone che abbiamo registrato e l'ho remixata poco tempo fa: questa nuova versione ci è piaciuta così tanto che abbiamo deciso che doveva essere il singolo. Il take della voce è stato fatto in diretta con i ragazzi che suonavano nella stanza accanto e l'atmosfera soulful funk è perfetta per i messaggio della canzone, che ha un qualcosa di alchemico.

lyrics

HOLD ON (SirJo Cocchi)

Hold on, oh we got to hold on
Hold on, oh we got to hold on

Why cannot we just leave it all the way it is
In these remaining years
And let it flow just like a river
Without letting water turn into tears

Hold on to the world as it seems to be
Or turn on your projection of reality

We’re feeling hopeless as they made us think
We cannot change a single thing
But now it’s time to make it clear
That our reality gets built within

Hold on to the world as it seems to be
Or turn on your projection of reality

It’s not a matter of right and wrong
Why should we always strive to be so strong
We gotta let them know that we’re so tough
But I want to be both, sweet and rough
Just like a wave that hits and leaves the shore
We wanna leave ‘em hollering for more

Hold on to the world as it seems to be
Or turn on your projection of reality
Hold on to the world as it seems to be
Or turn on your projection of reality

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
