about

WHAT WOULD I GIVE is the second chapter of The Songbook Chronicles EP5 – Surrendering.
It’s a song about forgiveness and about letting go old “memories that hurt and bind”.

The sound it’s a mix of Classic Rock, Pop & Funk and probably something else I can’t define. The Wurlitzer Electric Piano is mixed with distorted guitar, arpeggiators and heavy synths, while the electro beat and real drums provide the groove foundation.

lyrics

What would I give to not C U in his arms
cause he kind of broke us apart
What would I give to not remember those golden eyes
from the look of love into the look of despise
But all these words come out of emptiness, loneliness
It feels so bitter It makes me wanna kill all the sweetness
that we had

NOTHING THAT'S ALL THAT I WOULD GIVE
FOR THIS AIN'T NO WAY TO LIVE
NOTHING I WOULD GIVE RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
TO C U HURTING SOMEHOW

What would I give to not have you right there in my dreams
you still got so much on me it seems
What would I give to erase those moments from my mind
for memories can hurt and bind
And all the times that you have been in my arms
are like stars already exploded
shining bright light years away

NOTHING I CAN DO RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
TO TRY TO HOLD YOU BACK SOMEHOW
NOTHING THAT I CAN ASK MORE FROM YOU
YOU DID WHAT YOU HAD TO DO

And it seems that all I can do is watching you from afar
and let time heal what it can
but don't worry I shall resurface
although it's a deep wound not just a scar
I won't let it bleed for too long
I will turn you into one of my favorite songs

NOTHING I WOULD DO HERE AND NOW
TO GO BACK THE WAY WE WERE SOMEHOW
NOTHING MORE I CAN PRETEND FROM MYSELF
SO I TAKE YOUR PICTURE OFF THE SHELF

I'll be raising my head up from time to time
Knowing you will always be one of the many stars
brightening my sky

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
