ENG

NO MAD is the first chapter of The Songbook Chronicles EP3 - Connecting. It's a sonic departure from everything I've done before: I let the guitar take me into space and let myself be lulled into a weightless Funk.

Am I mad or not? I love mysteries. Do I mix too many genres? Sonic atmospheres that are too homogeneous quickly bore me. The delicate balance between being silent and screaming when there is something to scream about: what are temptations in reality and how can I swim in them without drowning? Where will they take me? Meanwhile, I try to open up, to listen and feel as much as I can. In lightness.

ITA

NO MAD è il primo capitolo di The Songbook Chronicles EP3 - Connecting. È una dipartenza sonora da tutto ciò che ho fatto prima: lascio che la chitarra mi porti nello spazio e mi faccio cullare in un Funk da assenza di gravità.

Sono folle o no? Adoro i misteri. Mischio troppi generi? Le atmosfere sonore molto omogenee mi annoiano presto. Il delicato equilibrio tra lo stare in silenzio ed urlare quando c’è da urlare: cosa sono le tentazioni in realtà e come faccio a nuotarci in mezzo senza affogare? Dove mi porteranno? Intanto cerco di aprirmi, di ascoltare e sentire più che posso. In leggerezza.

lyrics

NO MAD

VS 1

I could be accused of being crazy
Cause I’m constantly speaking to myself
Cause I softly touch trees
Sometimes even hug them
I am not so amused when I hear them say
“You gotta fly low kid
somebody’s gonna shoot you down, when you venture too high”

B 1
All the mysteries, fascinating,
soon will be revealed liberating you

CH 1

Got to open up
Got to open up
Go to open up to the truth

VS 2

Temptation, the sacred river
That finally lead me here
Had I never really sailed it
If I never had no one to endear

B 2

How could I swim in this ocean
Where the lights glow when the night is blue?

CH 2

Got to open up
Got to open up
Go to open up and feel the truth

SP

Whatever they say out there
I get the point but I don’t really care no
I know that is just a ride
But it doesn’t feel too well
When I don’t speak up
And when I’m trying to hide

B 3

How Can I swim in this ocean
Where the lights glow when the night is blue?

CODA

Got to open up
Got to open up
Go to open up to the truth

Got to open up
Got to open up
Go to open up and feel the truth

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
