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
This is a story of a young man, burning to leave a bad situation and opening up his life in the world.
Lyrics
"I?m a man who was tossed on earth, who has a tale to tell About the fight, through my young life, to escape a living hell. Brought up in an angry land, where fools all called the deal So I packed my bags in my old red ford, and I put my foot to wheel Put my foot to wheel. Chorus: I am a child of cause and chance a stupefying, death defying son of world romance. I lost my mind to the rising tide and down the road and?. Hey ho! Watch the undertow! Hey ho! The sweeping tides will flow. Tossed and lost, in a storm of possibilities Hey ho, where will my journeys end find me. Im a man who took the chance, A flawed fool who broke the rule of this old song and dance. And now I find I'm wasting time, moving down the road and... Hey Ho etc etc" A lot of empty streets i've walked, many sensless journeys i did. but the greatest void i found inside myself, and i got frightened about Oh lord please dont let me resign, and searching for the trace of life. so i left all behind for a nother try, and i put my foot to wheel. put my foot to wheel.
