Lyrics
When I was fifteen, sixteen, when I really started to play guitar
I definitely wanted to become a musician
It was almost impossible because, it was, the dream was so big
That I didn't see any chance because I was living in a little town, was studying
And when I finally broke away from school and became a musician
I thought "Well, now I may have a little bit of a chance"
Because all I really wanted to do is music and not only play music, but compose music
At that time, in Germany, in '69, '70, they had already discotheques
So, I would take my car, would go to a discotheque, sing, maybe, thirty minutes
I think I had about seven, eight songs
I would partially sleep in the car
Because I didn't want to drive home and that helped me for about, almost two years
To survive
In the beginning
I wanted to do an album with the sounds of the '50s, the sounds of the '60s, of the '70s
And then have a sound of the future
And I said, "Wait a second
I know the synthesizer, why don't I use the synthesizer, which is the sound of the future?"
And I didn't have any idea what to do, but I knew I needed a click, so we put a click on the 24-track
Which then was then synced to the Moog Modular
I knew that could be a sound of the future, but I didn't realize how much the impact it would be
My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio
Once you're free of mind about the concept of harmony and of music being "correct"
You can do whatever you want
So, nobody told me what to do
And there was no preconception of what to do
