Circles, Corners

I will not mistake your mistakes for another's
What is yours is yours to make
And in the end it's not my end
I'd rather try and cut the brake
Oh life, a maze, a needle basket
Let me run between hedges
Then I'll be back resurrected
Forgiving, careless of your sharpest edges
Breaking circles
Into corners
There I leave you
I'll be back with a lesson learnt
The saddest noise, the sweetest noise
Of turning circles into corners
Into sharpness
Or into something hurtful, even
A spare disguised as a caress
A river that wants to be the ocean
the oyster, and the pearl.

Una Strada

|
Notte piena
Una strada
Sotto la luna
Quando sono sola
Non sono sola
Ovunque io vada
Qualcosa ci accomuna
Piena notte (densa)
Una strada (buia di stelle)
Guidami luna (parlami)
Fra mille rotte (dove sei)
Se sono sola (un'altra volta)
In mezzo agli altri (sommersa)
Sono come tanti
Ho perso tutto per trovare me.

I don't wanna waste my time on things that make me sad
It's a matter of time before I get rid of it all
I can start over again
It will never be as painful
as singing another song of hatred for a useless applause.
But with you
I gotta be looking forward for me to start making new rules, new laws
a new code of right or wrong
'cause I always stand it, it all, with you
I gotta be looking forward for me to start making new rules, new laws
a new code of right or wrong
'cause I always stand it, it all with you
always stand it, it all with you
always stand it, it all with you.
For you, I dive in fear
But it’s a matter of time before I get rid of it all
I can start over again
It will never be as painful
But with you, you
I gotta be looking forward for me to start making new rules, new laws
a new code of right or wrong
'cause I always stand it all, with you, you
I gotta be looking forward for me to start making new rules, new laws
a new code of right or wrong
for you.

Obsidian

White marble
Black obsidian
Green sparkle
Please let me in
I didn’t know
I could feel this warm
I had never felt I had a form
I never knew
This is how love goes
I never knew
How to be this close
White marble
Black obsidian
Green sparkle
Please let me in (please)
I didn’t know
I could feel this warm
I had never felt I had a form
How could I feel
If I did not feel
(How could I see)
With my heart being blind
How could I sense
If my hands were stone hands (my hands)
I never knew
This is how love goes
(I never knew)
How to be this close.

Il Mare nel Fiume
03:55
|

|
Dietro allo specchio
C’è il mio contrario
Il mare nel fiume
Prisma di vetro
Per guardarmi meglio
Parole in silenzio
Mare nel fiume
Tuono poi lampo
Dietro allo specchio
Sono il passato
Mi vedo meglio
Senza un futuro.

Pianeti

Comodamente
Al sicuro
Dentro un universo
Bianco lento puro
Mi ricordo di te
(di come sei)
Mi ricordo di te
Mi sembrava impossibile
Tornare a casa
Dopo aver visto
Tutto intorno
Pianeti, stelle
Mi ricordo di te
(di come sei)
Mi ricordo di te
Mi ricordo di te
(di come sei)
Mi ricordo di te

Nomade

Nomade il tempo mi trascina
Verso un altro giorno quando muore
Ho cambiato nome ogni stagione
Ho cambiato pelle ogni mattina
Nomade passo dopo passo
Scappo come fossi un'assassina
Vedi il mio unico rimpianto
Non saperti stare piu' vicina
Nomade poi come d'incanto
Mi ritrovo sempre e ancora in cima
E tu sei giu'
Ho cambiato occhi per guardare lontano
Ho cambiato pelle per sentire altro
Ho cambiato mani per ricominciare
Ho cambiato direzione
Nomade, buio cuore infranto
Posso ancora vivere altre cento vite
Nomade poi come d'incanto
Bussa quell'errore alla mia porta per poi riportarmi giù
Nomade il tempo mi trascina
Verso un altro giorno quando muore
Ho cambiato nome ogni stagione
Ho cambiato pelle ogni mattina
Nomade passo dopo passo
Scappo come fossi un'assassina
Nomade poi come d'incanto
Mi ritrovo sempre e ancora in cima.

The Oath
03:37
|

|
Since I'm alone
I fall for you
Seeking my youth
Inside your eyes
I sing your hymn
A lively binding oath
For it's not a sin
To ride
Since all this time's gone to waste
I take it easy on myself
I never got the chance to
lick my wounds
I got tons of information
On how to move forward
But I don't want to listen
I'd love for you to talk louder
Than any living sound
Since I'm alone
I fall for you
So I can finally lose myself
Since you are here
Won't you help me out
I want to disappear
This is your song
As I can't ever even write
A song about my inner deepest fears
I sing your hymn
A lively binding oath
For it's not a sin
To ride

Madreperla

Grazie dolore
Mi hai fatto crescere
Dentro una perla
Corpo estraneo
Disabitudine
Era estate
Poi era inverno
Ed ogni cosa
Tornata al suo posto
Semplicemente
Trasformare
Dei tuoi mali ti devi prender cura
Li vedrai
Fiorire in una perla
E’ un mestiere
Ci vuole fiducia
Infinita pazienza
Guardarsi dentro
Non giudicare
Anche tu un tempo
Eri bambina
Granello di sabbia
Diventa un castello
Semplicemente
Trasformare
Dei tuoi mali ti devi prender cura
Posso creare un’altra perla
E ricominciare
Grazie dolore
Mi hai fatto crescere
Posso creare un’altra perla.

We are creatures of this planet
We eat and sleep
And look for our kind
I am not different from a bird
I am not different from you
So let’s be together
(let’s be together)
We can be each other’s mirror
I don’t know where it leads us
(I don’t know)
I don’t wanna know
I have dreamt of it so many times
It must be true
The road is long
The road is full of unforeseen
Of sudden changes
And small diversions
So why don’t we let go
To what is meant to happen
I have faith in what I see
I have faith in what I feel
In that I feel.

Francesca Palamidessi Rome, Italy
I write dark and ethereal sounding vocal pieces that push the boundaries of songwriting towards experimental electronic music.
My new album "Madreperla" has been released last November.

by Abbie from Mars
Experimental pop artist and WFMU radio personality Abbie from Mars re-introduces herself on this playful, idiosyncratic album.

On her remarkable debut album, Isabelle Thorn winds together electronic noises with acoustic reverberations.

You’d expect an album titled “Velociraptor” to be heavy and this doesn’t disappoint, as it’s jam-packed with serrated noise & feedback.
