Influenced by Fabrizio De André, Brunori Sas, Sufjan Stevens, Niccolò Fabi, Nick Drake. Carmine Fiumara was supposed to be a classical composer. After a humiliating clash with a professor at the Cosenza music conservatory, he dropped out, trading the concert hall for a dusty workshop where he now restores antique furniture. His songs are built on the wreckage of that formal training, blending intricate fingerstyle guitar with the raw, narrative tradition of his native Calabria. These are the stories of his home, told with the precision of a craftsman and the soul of a poet who feels like an imposter in his own art.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Padre, ricordo il suono delle tue mani sul tavolo di noce,
Alle tre della controra, quando il Re di Bastoni era l'unica legge.
La luce tagliava la polvere in strisce diagonali e sacre,
e io contavo i tuoi silenzi come le venature del legno, le crepe.

[Chorus]
E mischiavi il futuro senza guardarmi mai,
un solco di silenzio tra quello che non siamo stati.

[Verse 2]
C'era l'odore aspro del caffè dimenticato sulla fiamma,
e tua madre dalla cucina: "Non fare tardi, Carmine, si sciupa la pasta".
Io cercavo un accordo minore nel cigolio della tua sedia,
provando a riparare il tempo con lo sguardo, una stupida litania.

[Chorus]
E mischiavi il futuro senza guardarmi mai,
un solco di silenzio tra quello che non siamo stati.

[Bridge]
Quel gesto ripetuto, lento, era la sola preghiera
che ho mai veramente imparato a dire prima di sera.

[Outro]
Un Re di Bastoni…
sul tavolo di noce.
