Influenced by D'Angelo, Fabrizio De André, Chet Baker, Frah Quintale. Elio Costa writes songs that smell of sea salt and basil. Raised in the labyrinthine alleys of Genoa by his nonna, Livia, while his father worked on container ships, his music is a product of the port city's constant hellos and goodbyes. He still lives in his nonna's apartment, writing soulful, jazz-flecked laments on a vintage Wurlitzer. His songs are unsent letters to the people and places that defined him, steeped in the tender melancholy of a city built on farewells.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
La Livia ha il fondo nuovo, vernice del Brico di Sestri.
Ho levigato il legno fino a farmi male ai polpastrelli.
L'odore del flatting mi ricorda il molo, le navi cargo,
e tengo a bada questo sentimento amaro.

[Chorus]
E non so come si dice grazie
per quest'ancora che mi hai dato tu.
È un nodo stretto che non si scioglie più.

[Verse 2]
Dicevi: "Hai le mani di tuo padre, ma non la sua calma".
Credevi che avrei rotto tutto, che avrei perso l'anima.
Guarda adesso, questa chiglia perfetta sotto il palmo.
Ho imparato a non avere fretta, ad aspettare il largo.

[Chorus]
E non so come si dice grazie
per quest'ancora che mi hai dato tu.
È un nodo stretto che non si scioglie più.

[Bridge]
La marea sale alle quattro e diciassette, stanotte.
Ho piegato le carte, ho lasciato solo le rotte.

[Outro]
L'ultima mano.
Un addio salato.
