Everybody Loves Those windows are non more windows There is no door to escape Those trees are non more trees There are no leaves, here no more. Have a road in the dark There’re no voices anymore Everybody loves Used to be a town, once a town Where the crowds used to talk Abandoned cars and bus stops There’re no shadows form the shops Worn out posters on the walls There’re no blood leaks off the nails

Those Hills of Sadness I live in a wonderful world Just like in a peaceful love Just like a Kid in the field So small playing football Can it be a sad song? It's a cloudy sky but sudden comes the sun Well, it's me The shadows come and sudden escape from me Those hills of sadness make me cry (But my eyes can avoid them one more time) Those hills of sadness and I feel so unsecure I live in a wonderful world Just like in a peaceful love Just like a Kid in the field So strong playing football I live in a wonderful world Well I live in a sad song Could it be? Could it be a song I write? Those hills of sadness, I read it in my eyes Everyday In my life Of my Life

I Fear People I fear people for the things I have known I fear people for the lies never gone (away) I fear people for the look I never learnt I fear people for the loss of human touch I fear love for the silence of your name I fear love for the tears I never cry I fear love for the roads I never choose I don't fear love 'Cos you're close to me I fear people for the things I've never known I fear people for the tongues I never spoke I fear people for the lights we didn't turn on I fear people for the nights we didn't sleep I feel love cos you really have a name I feel love because my tears said it was true I feel love because you made me try I feel love cos you're close to me I feel love Have we ever shed a light? I feel love Have we ever left outside? I feel love Have we ever seen the sky? Just feel love Cos you're close to me You are close to me

The Ballad of Someone A man painted his hand young Prisoner in a cage of lead Suddenly he became thin and Entered gay but fearful Giant the hand was,a little man as I told The cage closed, he hanged and wicked Your eyes were salvation Fresh air after the storm Light filtering clouds, irish Red warmth but rose was your skin It was very strange to see himself so unapt He seemed suffer for something yet Well he paid the condemn That he,he,he wanted Neither the wind dried that wet skin Nor his tears saw on her skin No sun could warm so much chill His feet, his mind in the glass Your eyes were salvation Tepid air without storm Light free of frenzy Azure warmth, you love! I’m anyone now I’m anyone now I’m anyone now. Lyrics May 9th 1996 Music December 96

Hey Boy 03:26
Hey Boy I always Think about my past When flowers grew on the grass I used to walk on the clouds I got my hopes in the stars May I follow laughs by friends? It's for sure a funny thing I always Turn my face back When girls were like little angels I used to colour blank pages Cos my life was out of the fence May I sing a very sad song? That for sure gets on well with me Please I'm asking I know I've got no answer But the truth will come up some day

A Minute Left What I say is that I'm not the best But I can do the best I can If I stayed outside the things around I could probably watch the real effect of the actions I change like the moon everynight But inside I could be like the everyday sun And these clouds want to cover this up Better this way to think of me A minute left to me to To do everything what I do Life in a minute a word expresses My whole life AMny worlds reign in a mind Mine is like that No borders And they turn around I'm black and grey but white in a minute I change like the light in a day But what I'm made of stays the same So don't let me be what I'm not The run of the Sun doesn't change

There is Someone in the Room Light out And sit with me tonight It was fourteen years ago I can remember Remeber very well I saw smells, bats and a hot evening air around me There is Someone in the Room Oh no, stop you boy That I'm not for you This room, your way, your eyes Misreading such a misunderstanding

On The Sea 02:46
On the Sea I am without me these days The world is out of sight I'm trying to chill me out I'm simulating your caress Anyway the thing is I'm changing I am walking on the sea I am crying out my fears I am painting my own sky I am painting my own mine I am without you these days The world is out of sight I'm trying to chill me out I'm stimulating your caress Own sky

about

The to-and-fro here-and-there album collects songs from almost two decades. As in the previous albums, songs have been chosen from different years including new ones as well.
I don't mind if the "sound quality" may be poor for some of you. This has a live approach.
The album title comes from a question I asked my father some time ago in the past.
Thank you for listening and sharing.
This could potentially be a chart album but it won't and don't ask me why.
The Huge

Recorded live with Zoom H4n

Darkness and then light, at times faded, at times intense, lighten up the abandoned spaces of an old factory, the location of the new video for "Everybody Loves" by TheHuge, Gianluca Plomitallo. Inside the walls of the building, the world takes on different nuances, sounds alternate with words , vibrating between the senses and the heart. Flavours, perfumes, colours, landscapes and flowers with their extraordinary sensorial intensity transform into a new and unexpected state of mind. People and nature meet, woe and happiness are joined inseparably in the memory of the past and childhood. A lost age, but not forgotten, a time that is no longer with us but is very much alive inside. The emotions of childhood, fixed in our mind, are seen to return so naturally in the close-ups of faces, though grown up, when an old teddy bear or a favourite doll come into sight. Everything changes, changed, but, between delusion and hope, stays impressed in our hearts for ever. This is the main theme of TheHuge's new album, out on 1st April 2012. The singer, also on the drums, on bass, on the piano, takes his foot off the brakes, in the name of absolute independence, as well as from a creative point of view. The result is a vibrant opera that matches new pieces with works from the past, like "A Minute Left", 2001, which confirms how life can change, leaving sentiments and sensations unaltered. "I Fear People" then "Those Hills of Sadness" hold strong the bond with nature. The title of this new production takes us straight back to being children: "How Old Are You Dad? 37". The artist asked his own father this question, the way only children do, so naturally and spontaneously, and it comes back to mind in such a whirlpool of memories no-one can cancel.
A.Mecca (J.Woodhouse)

Il buio e poi la luce. A tratti tenue, a tratti intensa, illumina i locali dismessi di una vecchia fabbrica, ambientazione del nuovo video di 'Everybody loves' di TheHuge, Gianluca Plomitallo. Tra le pareti del fabbricato, il mondo assume nuove sfumature, i suoni si alternano alle parole, vibrando tra le orecchie e il cuore. Sapori, profumi, colori, terre e fiori con la loro straordinaria intensità sensoriale si traducono in uno stato d'animo nuovo e improvviso. L'uomo e la natura si incontrano, la malinconia e la felicità si legano indissolubilmente nel ricordo del passato e dell'infanzia. Un'età perduta, ma non dimenticata, un tempo che non c'è più, ma che rimane vivo nel profondo. Le emozioni della fanciullezza, impresse nella memoria, rivivono sui volti in primo piano, ormai cresciuti, riaffiorano con naturalezza alla vista di un vecchio orsacchiotto di peluche o della bambola preferita. Tutto cambia, si trasforma, ma rimane impresso per sempre nel cuore, tra disillusione e speranza. E' questo il fil rouge del nuovo album di TheHuge, in uscita il 1 Aprile 2012. Qui il cantante, impegnato anche alla batteria, al basso, al pianoforte, abbandona tutti i freni, in nome di una totale indipendenza, anche da un punto di vista creativo. Il risultato è un lavoro vibrante che accosta inediti a brani del passato, come 'A minute left', pezzo del 2001 che ribadisce come la vita possa cambiare, lasciando immutati sentimenti e sensazioni, oppure come 'I fear people', e ancora, 'Those hills of sadness', nel quale forte è il legame con la natura. A dare il titolo a questa nuova produzione, una frase che fa tornare immediatamente bambini: 'How old are you, Dad? 37'. Una domanda posta dall'artista al proprio padre, con la spontaneità e la naturalezza tipica dei bambini, che dopo anni riaffiora alla sua mente, in un turbinio di ricordi ed emozioni che nessuno può cancellare.
