In a Room 05:06
He seems to shake Hand hides himself away They both know its going to hurt in the end In each others arms You tell them to quiet down It’s a sermon it’s an order it’s a calling You rattle your pride to me Get to highs with me I cant reach take a seat it’s over Heart is sinking lower than ever Absorbing it more than ever Hand is gone we haven’t seen him since Or ever again Heart starts to break As you sing him away Same refrain again and again You sing to the horses and Kings Fake people fake things You laugh push and shove We sit lower and lower You stand higher and higher You stack up, compare what you seem fit You wave your finger again ask for a mirror again And your words out of my mouth And I think back at it all the time Things break and are hard to mend Heart seems to shake His body used to ache Something he wont forget In a Room with a desk We go over the same things again Tell me that you know me You tell me that I cant breath That I wont amount to nothing You spit Fire Hand used to shake now its gone and it wont happen anymore. Its something we need to work on everyday.

Anymore 03:52
I don’t know, how it surrounds me I don’t know how it takes me As it gets closer I leave it to faith We fear of meaning I let it break Heart fools himself as he deflates Hand clutches as he retreats And I back down, and I fall down I don’t know, how it surrounds me I don’t know how it takes me As time swallows day by day Thoughts hollow and start to break You are so carefree in abstract time Disillusion has taken me under his wing And I back down, and I fall down When it’s alive it’s holding me tighter And when it’s goodbye it’s weightlessly heavy And I leave with rain, leave with flames, leave with thoughts And I hold in rain, hold in flames, hold in thoughts As I stand to knock on your door There’s no sound to be heard anymore I don’t know, how it surrounds me I don’t know how it takes me at all

Boiler Room 03:09
Hand implodes and says hello I hide so well even from myself All up and down Going all around I’ve got a heart I’ve got a dagger I’ve got a bed all to myself How many times do I fall How many times do we call Tomorrow done, tomorrow is key I’ve got a monster in the boiler room Heart exclaims at night He let’s himself out all alone In a naked space at the weakest time Thinking ahead thinking of faith I’ve got a hand I’ve got a rope I’ve got a bed all too myself How many times do I fall How many times I call Tomorrow done, tomorrow is key I’ve got a monster in my room Heart tries heart dies Hand tries hand dies Heart tries heart dies Hand tries hand dies

I can only breath when no one is around Sometimes I wish I wasn’t there for it It’s a bridge I cant seem to cross Its a line I cant seem to draw I need to stop falling in love With people I don’t know Live alone with them in my head Or cling on to the past I need to reach out and hold on To something more tangible And not spiral out again into myself I know you better than this Its a feeling that you cant miss Its a lie Its a phase Or a lier And I don’t know where to go from here Start again next week I’m sure I can do it then But the same old thoughts go On and on and on and on I know you to know me better than this A direct line to heaven doesn’t exist It’s a fake It will break it’s a circle And I don’t know where to go from here I feel it come I feel it all around me Don’t look back like its a trap Or a trail to follow Come on get up the weight isn’t off I can feel the thoughts coming And I leave as I please and then come back on my knees And start again

Simplicity 03:41
It’s not the truth that hurts but it’s the simplicity Of what you’ve said, Of what your doing, of what you wanted And I don’t know what to do now How do we go back to you You and me How do we go back It’s not the truth that hurts but it’s the fragility Of what we said, Of what we’re doing, of we you wanted And I don’t know what to do now How do we go back to you You and me How do we go back And I don’t want to stay here anymore And I don’t want to be here anymore And how do we go back And fall down in each others arms It’s not the truth that hurts but it’s the futility Of what I said, Of what I’m doing, of we I wanted And I don’t know what to do now How do we go back to you You and me How do we go back And I don’t want to stay here anymore And I don’t want to be here anymore And how do we go back And fall down in each others arms

Cavalcade 04:23
Heart calls to arms hand seems alarmed As we march on Cavalcade down with me To break and mend Climb up from the ground and rise up with me I know you are there I know you’re scared But just walk on I whisper more than I shake More than I stay awake And let us work together And I need you more Than you need me more Than we need it more Than it comes for us And we do it with each other Hand pull forward heart catches up pulling a heavy load Pilgrim rise follow the sky We’ve got a lot to do Secrets are seen you and me will break and pass it on I know your there I know your scared But just walk on I whisper more than I shake More than I stay awake And let us work together And I need you more Than you need me more Than we need it more Than it comes for us And we do it with each other Shake, break and mend and start again Shake, break and mend and start again

Yes Ok 03:11
I don’t want you I wan the idea of you I want your body to embrace my body Your blue eyes Makes me look back Your blonde hair Makes me comb mine And I want your movements to say Yes ok, Ill spend some time with you Yes ok, Ill spend the night with you Yes ok, I accept you I don’t want you I want the construct of you And I want your mind to embrace my mind Your brown eyes Make look forward Your brown hair Makes me want to leave And I want your movements to say Yes ok, Ill spend some time with you Yes ok, Ill spend the night with you Yes ok, I accept you And eye to eye we don’t see it the same And we wish we where different And heart to heart we don’t feel it the same And we wish we were different But in the end all I want is the mirror to say Yes ok, Ill spend some time with you Yes ok, Ill spend the night with you Yes ok, I accept you

Hand & Heart 06:15
Heart tenses up think of you with me Heart plans things out thinking of you with me Heart looks back all the time Heart thinks back all the time Heart needs a feeling with a meaning With a passion to make it live Heart breaks down when he’s alone When he can see Heart regrets Hand freezes up thinking of you with me Hand freezes up thinking of you with me Hand stops in his tracks all the time Hand stops in his tracks all the time Hand needs a feeling with a meaning With a passion to make it worth it Hand breaks down when he’s alone When can’t go Hand regrets There’s a hill that we can go over There’s a line we can cross

about

An album about two imaginary people one called Hand and one called Heart.

This is the band's second album since October 2016. It contains some of my most experimental work with the ending track having more than six separate vocal melodies and singers along with it's untraditional song structure. Themes also start to vary a bit with 'In A Room' being about a uncomfortable confrontation with an authority figure and 'Yes Ok' discussing a persons inability to judge oneself fairly.

credits

released February 11, 2017

As with the debut album, everything was written by Martino Gasparrini. Recorded in my bedroom with one guitar, one amp, one keyboard, one drum machine and a condenser microphone.
