In this world of yours how shall I chart my way
whose hearts shall I appease, who shall I sway
How to erase sorrow, write compassionate dreams
From a common root we stem, the same red we bleed
Find me a place where rituals don’t matter
where customs fall like leaves, where the past is left behind
where my voice at last resounds
Cast away those hollow bonds, forget their judging gaze
I’m shedding worldly chains, join me – do the same
Though the path is steep, keep your courage steady
draw a breath of strength, make yourself ready
whose hearts shall I appease, who shall I sway
How to erase sorrow, write compassionate dreams
From a common root we stem, the same red we bleed
Find me a place where rituals don’t matter
where customs fall like leaves, where the past is left behind
where my voice at last resounds
Cast away those hollow bonds, forget their judging gaze
I’m shedding worldly chains, join me – do the same
Though the path is steep, keep your courage steady
draw a breath of strength, make yourself ready

Comfort Food (Kiran Music, 2024)
This song is about feeling overwhelmed with the current state of political polarization in the world. Nationalist politicians around the globe are targeting ethnic minorities and immigrants. Most of us have strong opinions on these issues and it’s sadly often impossible to talk with those we disagree with without the conversations turning into yelling matches. I’ve found it very hard to control my anger when talking to family members about the cons of fundamentalism and tribal thinking. So instead of talking, I‘m singing my opinion – this song reminds us that we are all from one root; we all bleed the same shade of red.
English translation from the Album booklet.
“Tera Jugg” parla del senso di sopraffazione dovuto allo stato attuale di polarizzazione politica nel mondo dove i politici nazionalisti stanno prendendo di mira minoranze etniche e immigrati.
