From the recording I Am / I Was
Written during the lockdown, I tried to describe how I spent the days, the hours, mesmerized by the silent outside, the blue sky but also watching other people's lives inside the square frame of Instagram.

Lyrics
These are strange times
I never would've imaging
I feel like being on a train
Stopped at the station
The landscape is moving
Inside a display
Yes these are strange times
Hours on social-media
Waiting for a bliss from a click
By any stranger
When things become square-shaped
All is ok
Watching other people's life
On device screen
Everyone starring their own world
Na na na na, na-na
Watching other people's life
With greedy eyes
Getting rid of useless weights
Na na na na, na-na
Writing songs
Killing time
Trying to find a meaning to it all
Leaving all
In the past
Trying to make more comfortable my zone
