When the Fukushima Incident happened after the great tsunami that shocked Japan (and the World) I felt the urge to do something. I've always been in love with that country, and I felt somehow unarmed and defeated as a human being. I reacted by turning off any source of news, lowering the light in my room and starting to write a song on my bed, trying to come out with something my beloved Pizzicato 5 could have done wondering how I would have felt if I should have been hit but such an inevitable and terrible disaster. America, Russia, Lord knows where. Japan wasn't the first country running on this kind of radioactive hazards, but possibly was the the only one reacting in such a brave and honourable way. Talking about the music in the end I ended to sound a bit like Paul Simon in his solo years. And I do say that I don't mind that at all! Possibly the most refined song I recorded.
lyrics
Little soul
Hangin’ on the town
Little soul
Look at what we’ve found
So many things we’ve lost are gone
And now I need to be alone
With the one I love
The one who’s singing
Little soul words
Need to listen close
To your heart beats
Fast and loud
Little Soul Rock
Little Soul
We cracked the core
Little Soul
Reach the very source
Our safety is planted in the trash
Is getting daily deemed at last
Let the Motown Stars
Show up in droves
With lil’ soul claps
And then collapse
To their best sound
Anything loud
