If you know me just a little bit, you know that I love words. Their sound but especially how they can touch you, both if they’re uttered and if they’re written. I’ve even written two books, but they rest completely asleep in my hardware. Unpublished. Nobody wants to publish if you’re not famous. And, obviously, you cannot become famous if nobody publishes you.
I’d like to transform my passion for writing into a job, but it is impossible. I’ve resigned to the idea that I won’t make a living with my novels. But internet gives me the chance to make my works widespread. I’ll put my two books here in this blog. You will be able to download them in a pdf format and I’d really like to know what you think about them. I want at least to have my dream partially come true. I want others to read what I write. In this sense, I’m fully aware the web is so powerful.
I hope you’ll be more careful than publishing houses…
en a wonderful section of winds, the Flyn’ Horns, and you can listen to an amazing cd. If you add to all this some famous guest-stars like the bluesman Marco Pandolfi, the wonderful singer Tiziana Guerra and the excellent musician Chinito Teremoto, you get a masterpiece.
Sai che una volta non vuol dire niente. Sai che due volte non vuol dire sempre (transl: You know that once means nothing, You know that twice doesn’t mean always). You know that only five songs cannot and mustn’t label a band. Maybe in a 12 song album the Jade Shining could better express themselves, just showing something newer than a cover band of the Black Sabbath. Here the hints are scarce. Just at the end of the demo, with “Alba”, the Jade Shining respect their name and start glowing. Good lyrics (Un fiore che profuma di sangue, Colto da dita fredde, Bianche come il sale/ A flower which smells like blood, picked up by cold fingers, as white as the snow), a gloomy guitar riff and the voice which scratches and emerges. The rest is a delusion.
