Influenced by Mr. Rain, Tananai, Lucio Dalla, D'Angelo. Elia Faro grew up the eldest of five in the industrial port-side of Genoa, the weight of the family house keys a permanent fixture around his neck. He learned to play on his grandmother's scarred upright piano, the only thing in the house that was truly his. Now that his siblings are grown and scattered, he writes songs in the quiet of his apartment, his emotive falsetto echoing the lonely sound of foghorns on the Ligurian Sea. His music is for anyone who has ever learned to be a caregiver before learning to be themselves.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Novembre sulla Sopraelevata Aldo Moro,
le gocce fredde battono sui piloni.
Tenevi le mani dentro la mia felpa usata,
l'odore di maccaia mischiato al diesel dei traghetti.

[Chorus]
Eravamo solo noi, sotto un fiume di luci finte,
il cemento sopra il mare.
Una promessa silenziosa, una crepa nel panorama,
che non si ripara.

[Verse 2]
"'Torno presto,' hai detto, 'giuro che non è un addio.'"
Ma la tua voce era già intonaco scrostato.
Sentivo il peso familiare delle chiavi in tasca,
il primo giro a vuoto in una serratura nuova.

[Chorus]
Eravamo solo noi, sotto un fiume di luci finte,
il cemento sopra il mare.
Una promessa silenziosa, una crepa nel panorama,
che non si ripara.

[Bridge]
(rhythmic breakdown: drums and layered vocal whispers)
Prà... Voltri... un'altra targa che va...
un'altra luce che sparisce...
(vocal rises in pitch and intensity)
E io... IO...
RESTO! (shouted, followed by a huge, distorted synth/guitar blast that cuts off abruptly)

[Outro]
Oggi, da qui, sembra quasi bello.
Questo cemento sopra il mare.
