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
Based on the concept that the need for self preservation in the human species allows us to evolve an afterlife.
Lyrics
And I, a mortal man beneath the Sun Bestow my life, my soul upon the one Whatever does occur of when we die? Our essence flows to merge within the skies Or do we dissipate within the stars? O mortal snakes we are. If I can bludgeon through this puzzling life Perhaps and then invent an afterlife Which manifests from our need To build from mind of human, then a seed Immortal tree in time would then we grow Eternal limbs, winds of ebb and flow :Improv vocal musings: As I stand upon the field, survey this realm I wonder who or what does drive the helm. I gaze in constant wonder at a star Consider its burn so long and far Will we ever emulate its breadth and fire Our lasting desire.

Wow, you really go for it again. Your fantasy is working again, bringing the listener in your own created world. Did you see the movie, After Life? I mean the Japanese one, out of 1998. Here's a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN9sr5wVkik I enjoyed this one!

Very spacy vibe winding throughout the tune, the vocals really carry the arrangement as the instruments flow along. :) Nice falsetto harmony amico, a good 1/2 octave out of my range ;)

Haunting piece of music with great lyrics - they had me hooked right away. Very thought-provoking. Beautiful job on the guitar and flute. I love the mystical vibe that this song has - the arrangement is superb!

Something I think about often, especially knowing that as we age our days become numbered here ;^)) Nice flow and melody line - I like those vocals in the back - and the exotic flute. Excellent lyrical piece Carlo!

Masterful Carlo. Love the title, love the lyrical content, love the vocal arrangement and performance (nice harmony with female vocal), love the musical arrangement (Sensational), and course pristine production....Yep, thoroughly enjoyed the story.

Splendid lyrics and the music is very nice to highlight the message within. This is the latest PT I assume...it is produced very well and accent the tones and sounds very nicely. Well done!!!
