This is love:
to fly toward a secret sky,
to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.
First, to let go of life.
In the end, to take a step without feet;
to regard this world as invisible,
and to disregard what appears to be the self.
Heart, I said, what a gift it has been
to enter this circle of lovers,
to see beyond seeing itself,
to reach and feel within the breast.

TRACK 1 - LOVE
Love is the final song I wrote for this EP, on the 8th of April 2021. I wrote it, I think, the day after I met with the producer for the first time and discussed what we could do. Before, the plan was to release a different song, but after writing this, I had no doubt I needed to release it.
TRACK 2- CAN’T PRETEND
Can’t pretend is musically my favourite song I’ve written. I sat down that day on my piano to practice Moonlight Sonata which I had been learning at the time. At one point, as usually happens, I got bored and I started improvising instead and all of a sudden I was playing the riff of the chorus. Instantly I recorded it in my voice notes and I knew it had to become a song because it would be wasted otherwise. I spent 2 days figuring out the right notes for the left hand with the riff. Eventually the chorus happened and the verses were added quickly. In 10 minutes I wrote the corresponding lyrics and melody for the singing bit and I had the first idea for the song done.
TRACK 3- MAYBE
TRACK 4- HAUNTED WORDS
