about

Happy Leap Day !

After a lengthy hiatus, Nabucco Dinosaur is jumping back into the mix…

Here we turn the first page of a new chapter inspired by the dreamtime perambulations of Piero Peluche as recounted in his libretto entitled “Viaggi a Distanza”.

Pleasant journeys

FLIGHT OF THE AMYGDALA
---------------------------------------

Little towns
I was looking in the east...
I can enter almost anywhere.
Like a hangar near a frozen river....

I walk through memory
Safe in the light
Dead in the night
It’s calling me back
Like a dream that I fight

My amygdala don’t know what it means
Same thing again and again
Repeats like a scratch that you see
On the record a skip of insanity

"Bonjour monsieur" are the words that I heard
Over my head and under my nose
A bull's eye on the chin
Sands along the river erode
Will the same peak explode ?
We will just never ever, ever know

Can’t go back now, its too low
Sinking under subconscious
In this unknown place that I flow.

Along the way, we fell upon a wooden bridge.

Huddled down by a river bed,
Across a wooden bridge I am led.
It's not safe here, better go ahead,
Gotta' find a place to lay my head ...

Just a hole in the ground

The ether and its odor
Can't separate one from the other
Smell the flowers, rake the leaves
Weave the forest through the trees
A tautology within
Makes an argument for our sins

Like the gypsies and their grift
Vlad the Impaler sleeps in his crypt
Can’t shake the notion
Just a drop in the ocean

Undertow drawing me to create
A place in my head
Where the passage of time seems to abate

Challenged each day to feel -
I can’t go back,
But I know that I will

Tell you what,
I’ll make you a deal.
(What's real ?)
But I just don't know what is real
(What's real ?)

Old buildings, salt pavement

I venture into a cave of salt,
Slate flat walls in an ice cold vault
I bend a knee to taste the ground
Echo of footsteps the only sound

A lone white church, stands afar.
I am drawn towards its grand bazaar.
A painting here, a sculpture there,
a muse approaches, jewels in her hair.

Then I pass a burning shed
Catch the falling ashes on my head
Nice to be beside its warming glow
My boots are soaking in the melting snow.

The Romanian woman has been there.
I know, it could be a sign of madness...
There are many places I still have to find.
Same buildings... same mountains, same rivers...
E sogni d'oro
