The coolest thing on working with Rimauli Dindani from Annemarie (a sweet indie pop band from Indonesia) is that she’s always so enthusiastic on following me in everything I do no matter how ahead or crazy my ideas may seem. I do know that, and that’s why each time we do something together I take advantage of those chances planning impossible lyrics and parts to act and sing. That’s why I came with this crazy idea of blending Italian historical traditions from 1800 and Indonesian fairly tales writing this post modern Seekers-like song on our national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi meeting the far east version of Cinderella having him to cross worldwide oceans not for revolutionary acts, but just for love! Beside harmonica I think I used any possible instrument I’m able to play on this one. I think it turned out to be a nice catchy pastiche.
lyrics
Not a patriot revolution
just a way to show the world
freedom was a resolution
to get close to his real love
He was told that fame and glory
were awaiting in seaports
but he couldn’t stop from wondering
on a home to call his own
But I hope
that you’ll come
They say France is thorned by war
and a life
by the sea
won’t deny this chance to me
Gary! Garybaldi
he was wounded at the heart
for she had him still so damn fast
he just couldn’t stop her dart
She was swinging by a sweet swing
she was singing silly songs
When the man came on to see her
had a look and turned to a stone
Garibaldi cought a gold fish
he was swimming in the sea
and the fish he fished was talking
for he once was a real king
He told:”Gary go to Java
there’s a princess you must save”
So the merchand marine captain
Took an oath to save his dreams
But I hope
You won’t sleep
I’m so far from Italy
hurry up
dance with me
don’t deny this chance to me
Gary! Garybaldi
he was wounded at the heart
for she had him still so damn fast
he just couldn’t stop her dart
She was swinging by a sweet swing
she was singing silly songs
When the man came on to see her
had a look and turned to a stone
