Back in late September
2005 while writing many lyrics and melodies, I sat
down at my computer one day and began to sing as
usual, into my microphone whatever came to mind.
This is usually how I write music, and normally
it's this way that things come to me quickly; it
is this way that a song usually ends up becoming
a favorite of mine. Within moments, Many Stars Apart
had a melody and lyrics.
Many Stars Apart is a fairytale-like, metaphorical
story about two lovers, a mermaid and a man who
wish to be together but because they live in different
worlds they never physically can fulfill their wishes,
and their hearts are broken.
As you all know my page is themed to a Mermaid
theme, and it's based on this song. It is one of
my favorites that I've written, as I hope it will
be yours as well.
While working on projects with Seven Thousand Miles,
I presented my song to the band and they liked the
idea, lyrics and melody, and began to create arrangements.
Aldo Stanzani (Seven Thousand Miles) created the
acoustic and electric guitar originally, along with
keyboard synths, while Red Sprecacenere (Seven Thousand
Miles) followed through and completed the song by
adding Bass, doing the Drum programming, some Keyboard
and finally the mixing and mastering. The song was
later officially recorded at Red's studio in Pescara,
Italy, back in January 2006, where I was fortunate
enough to meet all of my friends together.
Without their help the song would have never come
to life, so I have much gratitude for their help
and all the hard work they put into it. They did
a wonderful job, so please let them know too.
Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
I'm very proud of this piece and I hope it brings
you much enjoyment as it does to me. Thank you all
for listening.
