Finger style and Acoustic Progressive guitar, flute, synth and Mellotron.
Welcome to the music of Carlo D'Anna's Ridiculous Dream music. Also known as "Dream Warrior" in some circles. Influences and music styles ranging from basic to progressive rock, with definite Retro seventies sound. If you enjoy the sound of Moody Blues, George Harrison, Genesis, Dead Can Dance, and others of the same style, more or less, you will probably like this music. I use quite a bit of Mellotron and acoustic fingerstyle guitar as well.

Story behind the song
Working out some things in my mind from things that happened in my life last summer. Kind of poured out emotively.
Lyrics
Moving through the velvet haze, through the dimming days of our mortal lives. I can't see projected in front of me, ideas of permanency, on the road to eternity. The turnstile approaches on the path, a narrow way for all to move along, clicking out a sequence of one by one, you can never go anywhere, but straight ahead... on the road of the lonely one. Song and words by Carlo D'Anna

Heard this on the CC player today and wanted to post a comment. I also hear all the elements of a Rock opera in all of the diverse and intricate pieces of this one. Really nice composition and production!
Quite the rock opera, Carlo! Creative, cohesive, and really captures the imagination.

Close your eyes, let your hands and nerve-ends drop, stop breathing for three seconds, listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world, and you will remember the lesson you forgot, which was taught in immense milky way soft cloud innumerable worlds long ago and not even at all. It is all one vast awakened thing. I call it the golden eternity. It is perfect. We were never really born, we will never really die. It has nothing to do with the imaginary idea of a personal self, other selves, many selves everywhere: Self is only an idea, a mortal idea. That which passes into everything is one thing. It's a dream already ended. There's nothing to be afraid of and nothing to be glad about. I know this from staring at mountains months on end. They never show any expression, they are like empty space. Do you think the emptiness of space will ever crumble away? Mountains will crumble, but the emptiness of space, which is the one universal essence of mind, the vast awakenerhood, empty and a

What a marvelous song. An extraordinary composition. Great intro build up (love the organ). This composition with all its movements are charged with captivating emotional energy which envelops the listener. A majestic body of work my friend.

So many elements to this track - worthy of many listens to fully enjoy this epic journey. Quite dark and dramatic in places, then there are the more uplifting melodic guitar parts, a great vocal part with superb lyrics, reflective psychedelic elements and much more besides. An amazing piece of music!

An exceptional piece of 'art' Carlo. All the musical sections flow beautifully and seamlessly into each other. The general concept of the song, brings to mind all that I used to (and still ) enjoy about The Moody Blues. This is a wonderful musical journey. Thought provoking lyrics, sung with great professionalism. Very nice indeed Carlo. The wonderful Mellotron used to great effect. :)
