ENG

Rise in love is the result of the variety of musical influences to which SirJo was exposed, initially thanks to the family vinyl collection, made up of many artists representing very different genres: Blues, Classic and Prog Rock, Jazz, songwriting, Folk, New Wave and some albums of difficult classification have formed his multifaceted musical personality. Subsequently his stay in Los Angeles as soon as he turned 20 meant a deep immersion in the music of Black Americans, mainly Soul, Funk and Rhythm & Blues. In Rise in love, the echoes of many of these influences can be heard, enhanced by the contribution of two special guests: Pepe Ragonese and Alex Pacho Rossi, former collaborators of SirJo in Founda(c)tion and other projects. Pepe’s trumpet creates an atmosphere reminiscent of silk scarves rustling in the wind while Pacho's percussions and colors remind us that to fly you need a land to get up from and a water to emerge from.
"In order to rise in love we fell in love a lot of times, we got discouraged, felt all sorts of bad things. But we always got back up, ready to love a little bit more and to try and avoid those mistakes we have repeated so many times ." SirJo


ITA

Rise in love é il risultato della varietá di influenze musicali a cui SirJo é stato esposto, inizialmente grazie alla collezione di vinili di famiglia, composta da molti artisti rappresentanti di generi assai diversi tra loro: Blues, Classic e Prog Rock, Jazz, cantautorato, Folk, New Wave e alcuni album di difficile classificazione hanno formato la sua poliedrica personalità musicale. Successivamente 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. In Rise in love si sentono gli echi di tante di queste influenze, impreziosite dall’apporto di due ospiti speciali: Pepe Ragonese ed Alex Pacho Rossi, già collaboratori di SirJo in Founda(c)tion ed i altri progetti. Pepe alla tromba crea un’atmosfera che ricorda sciarpe di seta fruscianti al vento mentre le percussioni ed i colori di Pacho ci ricordano che per volare c’è bisogno di una terra da cui rialzarsi e di un’acqua da cui riemergere.
“Per poter sorgere in amore (Rise in love), siamo caduti in amore (fell in love) un sacco di volte e ci siamo sempre rialzati.” SirJo.

lyrics

RISE IN LOVE (SirJo Cocchi)

She was young and she was sweet
And I could tell she was complete
She even knew the words to some of
My favorite songs

Her talk was bright her wisdom clear
The outer world just disappeared
And at once it was there waiting for me

And I felt she was the one
That I had been asking for and yet I felt
Something that I couldn’t name
Like a current of unrest
It was just like taking a test I was to blame
For she never asked me to prove myself no

B: I couldn’t help it, up I blew
I slipped and tripped like a fool

CH: I fell in love with you
And there was nothing I could do U see cause
I fell deep into the blue and there was
Nothing I could do
I tried to swim in your ocean but I was drowning

VS2: time apart can break and heal
Eleven moons inside my reel
I can clearly see them in front of me now

My insecurity was strong
I clung to you and it was wrong
I was heavier than lead and we fell apart

B: you were my school I made the grade
Thanks to you I can tell her

CH2: I rise in love with you
And there is so much we can do
You tell me I rise in love with you
And we’ll be swimming through the blue
Because I rise in love with

SP: you won’t be my aphrodite to idolize
And I won’t be your Helios in the skies
But I can be your Cesar
You’ll be Cleo and we’ll both rule

B: we found a shore and here we lay
We’re diving deeper every day

CH3: I rise in love with you
And there is so much we can do
You tell me I rise in love with you
And we’ll be swimming through the blue
Because I rise in love with you
And there is so much we can do
You tell me I rise in love with you
And we’ll be swimming through the blue
Because I rise in love with you

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
