A Light 05:35
A light A light to escape this land full of shades Turn your head and don't listen to those voices from the past Look me in the eyes and follow me. You have to trust me. Help Help Somebody, help me escape from my mind Help Somebody, help me I swear I'm still here somewhere I swear, please don't leave me Somewhere away from here, all my dreams are waiting for me to find them. I've lost my way, would you please hold my hand 'Cause I need you to remember for me what once made me smile Please come back to me, please come back to me I know you're still there inside Please come back to me, I'm not ready, I'm not ready for this, I’m not ready yet. Turn your head and don't listen to those voices from your past Look me in the eyes and follow me. You have to trust me. I will bring you back, I will bring you back 'Cause you're still there, and I'm still here And I'll be your light to come back to us I will bring you back, I will bring you back 'Cause you're still there, and I'm still here And I'll be your light to come back to us A light A light to escape this land full of shades

Dont matter how lost Dont matter how far Dont matter where you are As long as you are mine Dont remember my name Dont remember my face Dont remember my last dream Dont remember where I left my keys But you are mine As long as you are mine 'Cause every time I forget a new piece of my heart I remind myself where is home And you are home to me Dont matter how Dont matter why Dont matter how far you are as long As you are mine Dont care about my name Dont care about my pace Dont care 'bout life before I met you eyes As long as you are mine 'Cause everytime I forget a new piece of my heart I remind myself where is home And you are home to me

Please take my hand And hold it still Feel its strength without shame And kiss its skin Please look into my eyes And they will weep sweet despair Look at me and don't be afraid Don't leave me here, for I am nothing at all Look at me and listen to my breath This is my wet dark hair And my warm white back This is my breast and these my hands And the curve of my knee Look at my fears For I am made of them Take them in your hand, And throw them, far, far away Look at me and don't ask me why Will you come with me at dawn to see the sun rise This is me, take all that I have All of my childhood dreams And grown-up fears My footsteps and memories And all of my tears Look at my fears For I am made of them Take them in your hand, And throw them, far, far away Please, take my hand And don't ever let it go For I'm waiting for you To make me cry And please, Tell me that you are here And tell me not to fear And don't leave me here Alone

Here I lie Here I watch the sky Here I find myself thinking of all That has brought me here today Here I can’t explain What happen to all of this Since I laid eyes on the shape of your breath My understanding of things has changed You changed my understanding of Me I can’t think of you without a smile I can’t sing without thinking of you I’ve always thought of myself as a very very independent person I’ve always thought of myself as very very unpredictable kind of person And here I am writing a love song to you Here I am watching the stars And looking for your shape in the sky I’ve lost my self in a part of the shape of you

Hey Hey Have you missed me? Its me Your little tiny friend Telling you the truth Its me The little voice Inside each and every one of you You hate me You fear me You curse me You banish me But every time you all come back to me Its you You never know What it is that you want Its you You egoistic brat Who doesn’t know how to love You know They think they love you But they just don’t know you enough You know You’ll hurt them all And you will end up alone You hate me You fear me You curse me You banish me But in the end all you’ve got is me I am the little voice In your head Burning eyes naughty smile Childhood trauma Mama bear Will you love me as I am Cut out the drama love, I’m all you have

I Was Right 03:45
You shouldn’t eat the apples from the tree My mommy used to say You shouldn’t run without coat in the rain My daddy use to shout You shouldn’t sing with all your soul It’s better to keep it a little low You shouldn’t love with all your heart Guys love to hunt don’t you know that hon’? But I was always a bad little kid Didn’t listen to a thing And I always felt That some day Time will prove me right You shouldn’t walk without your shoes You shouldn’t swim where it’s to deep You should let it go You should take it easy You shouldn’t sing with all your soul You shouldn’t love with all your heart No guy will ever take you as you are And I said the hell with you all If it’s a half of me that you want don’t take me at all And I said the hell with you all This is me and this is how I love You shouldn’t call him always first Guys love some mystery after all You shouldn’t give him all yourself You heart will get crushed as it always has And I started to think that I was wrong Maybe I should get along And I started to cut myself into small little pieces That could fit this world Till one day I looked in the mirror and I saw there A half little girl Till one day I reminded myself how beautiful is the rain when it falls Till one day I took off my shoes and ate all the apples that I found on that tree Till one day I looked in the eyes of a love that wanted me my heart and my soul And I said the hell with you all If it’s a half of me that you want don’t take me at all And I said the hell with you all I knew it and I was right all along And I said the hell with you all If it’s a half of me that you want don’t take me at all And I said the hell with you all I knew it and I was right all along And I said the hell with you all This is me and this is how I love

about

Since I was a little girl, a certain poem of Brazilian poetess and journalist Martha Medeiros, chases me through my life, popping out unexpectedly in the most significant moments. The original title of the poem is "A Morte Devagar", but I know it in it's Italian translation "Ode alla Vita". The poem ends with a sentence that has resonated in me through the years: "Only a burning patience will lead us to a splendid happiness" or, in Italian, "Soltanto un'ardende pazienza porterà al raggiungimento di una splendida felicità". The real meaning of this sentence has always eluded me. How can a patience be burning? Being patient is supposed to be the exact opposite of burning. To a particularly in-patient child as I was, this oxymoron made no sense. Only in recent years I felt, at times, that I could grasp the real feeling depicted by that sentence. Those two words stick with me, and I now feel them as the title of my path of growth and self-discovery. Much as this album, in which each song depicts a specific journey into the depths of trauma, and pain and forgiveness and self-love we all have to go through in order to find our own "splendid happiness". That, that journey, is my "ardente pazienza".

Two and something years ago, my good friend Omer Shuster, DJ and soundman, called me and asked me "Tell me something: how come we never made music together?"
That question was for me the first leap into the ever-surprisig world of electronic music, which was completely unknown to me at the time, classical-trained-jazz-and-musical-theatre singer that I am.
I sent him a few songs I've written few years back and he gave them an electronic do-over. Some other songs I wrote while already working with him, having already in mind which dress might fit them.
After a year of so, I called Omer and told him "Listen, I just realized we have seven songs already recorded and finished. Maybe we should think of publishing an album".
So here it is, "Ardente Pazienza" is an album born from the fun and joy of creating something together just because, with no clear goal or final aim, but just to answer the inner need we all have to make something beautiful that will allow us to express what is too big or too small or too deep or too far or too hard or too bright.
