Story Behind The Song

In the look down, period where I felt powerless against this situation, I decided to make something to help people doing what I can do better: composing. So some musician gather toghener in the lockdown to perform a song composed by me about covid-19. The audios were recorded and sent in remote and mixed indipendently without a studio, because it wasn't possible get out from the houses

lyrics
verse 1
In our paradise, Everything seems to change
Like a thunderbolt, out of the clear blue sky
Now that the crow has come, we have to pay for our faults, for our lacks for our mistakes
There's no time to cry, nor to say "it's the end"
'Cause Life is too beautiful
No more useless tears, no more thoughts of deadly fears
Our flame can't go out

Refrain
Tell me What is the point to say sorry
Few words spoken to the air can't change what is done
Tell me What is the point to say "I'm next to you"
they can't see my hands are tied
Somebody will survive, somebody'll pass away, somebody'll live to witness what happened
saying "we are not invincible"

verse 2
I know how The world appears to your eyes
there is no escape, any hope fades away
But you need to rise, and you can't do it Until
Your mind is trapped by anguish,
And your body is blocked by misery
There's no time to cry, or to say "it's the end"
'Cause life is too beautiful
No more useless tears, no more thoughts of deadly fears
Our flame can't go out

Refrain

Bridge
Maybe I can't live forever
Maybe I can't chose my fate
Maybe I can't fight against the maelstrom wiping me away
But we're here on the same boat, trailed by majestic waves
It will be hard, but the sun is still shining on us

Tell me what is the point to say "I'm done"
You are still young, the world is here with open arms
Tell me what is the point to say "it is to late"
Join us and hold our hands
Somebody will survive, somebody'll pass away, somebody'll live every single moment
Saying "we are not invincible"

Outro
Not invincible, but the sun is still shining on us
Shining on us
