This is a collaboration with Mike Lazarev, whose piano piece “All I Said…” was playing on SoundCloud and words came to me. I recorded it while singing those words, and asked him for permission to post it. This is my first song and singing. Love to hear your thoughts. – Mario Savioni

Musings 
It sounds melodious and soothing, with a touch of melancholy. This is a most beautiful metaphor: “We shall ride into the blackness of the sky.” It can also have many interpretations as I think it stands for any uncertainty and fear in our lives. Your voice slightly reminds me of Gazebo’s, especially in his song I like Chopin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grGjD1rTNyg
I am glad you like it. I am glad it has the capacity to be melodious and soothing. I thank the underlying music for that. I hope my voice honors it. I thought of the song as hopeful, a kind of eternity of love. Often we love someone who is out in the ether, not dead, but no longer touchable to us. It’s a song about knowing someone is out there but perhaps never finding them.
Great, Mario, I think you have a talent about lyrics, so as a trobador you’re a good one. Continue to play, and also to “trobar”, the art of finding… I hope you find also a joglar, a good singer to spread your lyrics…
Thank you Sergi! I will be on the lookout for someone to sing for me. This next song is very sad. I think if I sing it I am sure to attract those who would want to help me for their ear sakes. If I sing it from the balcony, I will become a meme, called: “See what happens in America!”
I also like the picture with Mike and you. Great collaboration!
I did that graphic design, I found the picture of Mike on-line, and my friend David Agasi shot the image of me in San Francisco one day near the Castro. I am lucky he was willing to have me post the song.
I like the song text
Beautiful accompaniment to the melody. I think it would be wonderful to follow the lyrics in print while listening to the recording.
Thank you Ms. Black. Here are the lyrics:
You and I
Looking into the sky;
We can see far and wide,
And I love you like the glimmering stars.
How much we know,
Love will grow
On the stretch to the moon.
I said it early on,
When we met in the icy room,
Which is no longer so,
Because I love you,
And you know.
We shall ride into
The blackness of the sky,
You and I…
You and I…

Thank you for including the lyrics, Mario. Now it is easier for me to understand the meaning. 😊
You are welcome.
Mario, you have surprised me. I didn’ t recognise it was you singing. I like the lyrics and the piano music.
