TESTO / LYRICS
She's just a girl, a girl from Earth
born in a day we had no worth,
she doesn't care for diamond rings
she finds her joy in hugging things
The day she grabbed my poor bleeding soul
her heart became my favourite mall
born from sea, earth, wind and fire
she brings me up, she takes me higher
And she gave birth to life and bliss,
my heart is there, in her abyss
And she gave birth to a wondrous treasure:
my days and nights, my pain and pleasure,
shining life for me
With panthers, tigers, snails and me
held tight by lovers' purity
unfurl and fold beneath the sun
she looks forward to only one
For she is known for shining bliss
my home is there in her abyss
And she gives birth to a wondrous treasure:
my days and nights, my pain and pleasure
For she gave birth to a wondrous treasure:
my days and nights, my pain and pleasure
And she's the sweetest pie
a man could ever eat
and 'til the day I die
she'll knock me off my feet (repeat)
She's such a treasure
no heart can measure
a pain, a pleasure
to me

SONG STORY
In un astrusa atmosfera a metà tra Pop e Jazz (sono evidenti i riferimenti a Sting e Billy Joel,
ma anche all'evergreen "Fever", indovinate voi le altre citazioni),
la più assurda canzone d'amore che essere umano potesse mai concepire. Del tutto Bygoniani
gli accordi del ritornello (e non solo su "shining life for me") e totalmente fuori luogo il finale
Latin, ma che ci volete fare? Quando scrivo per me, scrivo così... Dedicata alla Sweetest Pie,
"Abyss" è anche uno dei pochi brani di cui io abbia scritto prima il testo e poi la musica.
In a totally weird field between Pop and Jazz, and full of homages to artists like Sting
and Billy Joel (but there are many more... it's up to you to find them), "Abyss" is the most
absurd love song a human being could conceive. With an utterly Bygonesque chord sequence in the chorus
(not just on "shining life for me"), the song features a totally unexpected Latin ending: these are
the typical elements of the songs I write for myself. Dedicated to the Sweetest Pie, "Abyss" is
one of the few songs in which I've written the lyrics first. Enjoy it.
REVIEWS
I dig it. That chorus really explodes in the song. Perfect transition. Love the end. I was tappen my feet. Thanks!

Un'ulteriore prova del tuo immenso talento, arrivato all'indicibile, all'indescrivibile. E' su questo
cammino che devi andare avanti, è questo il tuo stile. The Leviathan, Unknown Location, Italy
....grande!
Simpatica.. bellissimo il ritornello!!!! ingegnosa oserei dire... bravo bravo bravo!!!

Intro to build was nicely done. From the start, you could tell that it was a tight production.
Very origianal work. Vocals were pretty crisp as well, main chorus is smooth.
Hard to pinpoint a specific mood, so Ill guess positive. All in all, very creative and tight. Enjoyed!!
Justin Young, Redmond, Oregon
Great intro. Vocals remind me a bit of Elvis Costello. I really love the mood of the chorus - amazing.
I found the arrangement of the verse a little boring after a while - maybe change it a bit. Lyrics?
Hmm - not for me, but I LOVE the chorus. Not sure about the fast section - sounds like a different song.
You definitely have a distinct sound.
Suzanne Whitehead, Sydney, Australia
Cool intro bass with finger snapping, interesting lyrics, certainly different.
Intriguing male vocals and harmonies make an original sounding song. Top marks for being out there.
Excellent piano. This song has something quirky that makes it very listenable:
great tune. Angela Steele, Taupo, New Zealand
I want to find an alien like that... you put a giant smile on my face! This is a fun song.
Loved the background vocals: it reminds me of a song from a "Saturday Night Live" skit.
I love love songs so you hooked me. Great positivity in this quirky thing.
Mix, balance was ok, playing was matched well. Great last voice note against the bass.
It doesn't seem like it would have broad commercial appeal, but who cares? It made me happy and I'm sure
there are other positive people with a sense of humour out there, right?
Great job. Roy Siegel, New York
Cool! Some originality in here. I like the weird backing insturments, and the instrumentation is great.
Good melodies too, sets a good mood. I really liked this song and I like how the bridge is in a different style.
Jason Perrillo, New York
Quirky and captivating from the start, with new yet old vocal sound.
Quirky funny peotry. This song is a novelty for sure! Billy Falcon, Nashville, Tennessee
A catchy melody that has you humming along: you can't help but click your fingers in time with the music.
A good chorus and interesting lyric made for an enjoyable 3 mins or so.
The mood changes towards the end becoming more upbeat which adds to the overall song.
Tom Redmond, Dublin, Ireland
With this kind of voice you won't win any grammys - so welcome to the club (I'm no Sinatra myself).
But this track has something... it's funny. It has some fine lyrics and an arrangement sparkling
with energy and originality.
By now the production seems a bit too cheap - too homemade, you know?
If you can pump up the production values a bit, this will make a very fine track
(and you voice will sound much, much better).
I liked the chorus/melody a lot. And what i said about the arrangement applies to the mood of the track.
All the best. Markus Robert Mueller, Hamburg, Germany
