You don’t know that I never choose to find what I got You don’t know that I never lose, I only lose my job Cross my teeth at your counterstrike, behead me so you know So you know that I never mind to care about my ghosts It’s hard for me to breathe When I see you dance like This When I see you dance like this It’s hard for me to sit When I see you dance like this It’s hard for me to sit When I see you dance like this It’s hard for me to sit You don’t know that I never cite Nor throw around with words I know that I’d never get it right So I hold my mind wide shut It’s hard for me to breathe When I see you dance like This When I see you dance like this It’s hard for me to sit When I see you dance like this It’s hard for me to sit Ahh When I see you dance like this It’s hard for me to sit Ahh

Tough Tough Tough Oh when your body turns red And you know my face With the lips you say Yes With every touch The rubber gets so damn tough Tough Oh let Cardi B sing Swimming in your lake I’m a dog on drugs Yes And every touch Makes the rubber get so damn tough Oh let commercials say (He decided not to) (And kept it all to himself) Hear me Mozart, I’m in panic Undisclose your breast now Hear me Mozart, you’re my hero Desecrate me, please, now Ha Uhh I’ve got Mozart, in my ears He’ll evaporate ya

I was at home, sitting in my room, waiting for something to happen Pleasuring myself all night long, over and over again As I saw a light in the distance It was the TV of my neighbour He was watching it all night long I still didn’t want to sleep, but I went to bed I watched a movie and felt like a lonesome cowboy Riding his horse into the sunset I had the funniest dreams About a rainbow train with a dancing house on top of it Hehehe

Sometimes I lay awake in my bed at night My mind wants me to do so many things Good things, bad things I just want to sleep In the end I always give in Say what you will, but I still won’t Say what you will, but I still won’t Say what you will, but I still won’t do what you say Honey, milk, mind over matter Say what you will, but I still won’t Say what you will, but I still won’t Say what you will, but I still won’t do what you say Honey, milk, mind over matter And I would rather die I would rather die I would rather die I would rather die I would rather die

Say that I love you Don’t you ever say that I love you You will find another way You will see it all through You can bleach your heart away But what good would that do? You know that I can beat what you see You know that I can beat what you see Say that I love you Don’t you ever say that I love you Love me as you are But don’t you ever leave me in your car Love me as you are But don’t you ever leave me at the door Ey Say that I love you Don’t you ever say that I love you You know me so well You know me so well You know

I never thought you had a chance with another boy And I never took mine You know that I was out with another love But I never gave in I always knew you had a chance, but I lost my mind When I loved you so wild You know that time has crushed what we had inside And now I’m dust in the wind Oh You don’t know if I know a little something You don’t know if I know a little something You don’t know if I know a little something You don’t know if I know a little something You don’t know if I know a little something You don’t know if I know a little something Don’t you remind me where I lie Don’t you remind me to wear a smile Don’t you forget to wash your clothes Don’t you remind me to wash the rice Hey Hey Hu

about

The gates have opened, the time has come. Welcome to Elio Ricca’s «Luna Park». Eight attractions are waiting for you, each one’s a small world of its own. All of them completely unpredictable. Once you’re in, there’s no turning back. Elio Ricca are the two joyride inventors, and they’ve explored the mechanisms long enough to know the exact combination of heights, depths, turnarounds, mirrors, lights, and kicks to make the adrenaline rush through your body exactly the way it needs to get you high. High on music.

Each one of the eight songs on «Luna Park» is surprisingly different from one another, showing a wide spectrum of Elio Ricca’s musicality. There are nitroglycerine-soaked bangers like «Rainbow», «Fomo», and «Mind over Matter», flamboyant psychedelic anthems like «Mozart» or «Saaay» and bittersweet melancholy-drenched ballads like «24/7» and «Luna Park». The ingredients are simple: groovy drum beats, catchy guitar riffs, Elio’s incorruptible voice, and that little bit of synth magic. There are no boundaries of any kind, anything can happen at anytime. That’s what makes it so special. «Luna Park» is an explosion of thrills, fireworks and adrenaline rush.

The band recorded and produced the entire album on their own, using many cheap but well-chosen analog ingredients and very unorthodox recording techniques. „The songs were all written during the first lockdown of the pandemic. I got to a point where I was really struggling with just not being bored by myself both as an artist and a person. When I finally found a way to expand my horizons by not letting any preconceptions limit me, not worrying about how I come across or how our music has to sound to anyone, I was finally able to free myself up and it all flowed out of me in a short amount of time, I literally just had to hold a microphone in front of it. I had so much fun, it felt like being little kid again who visits a Luna Park for the first time. In the songs, I lyrically deal with some of the personal issues I was going through at the time, like never knowing when to stop in «Fomo», accepting myself for who I am in «Saaay», breaking up with someone I loved for so long in «Luna Park», or missing someone so much it hurts in «24/7». I also learned to really give a fuck for the first time during that period, and I’m really proud of that. Especially on «Krust», «Mozart» or «Mind Over Matter», it felt so good to make fun of myself and my thoughts. I've never really been able to put that on record before. This is why I’m especially proud and excited to finally release «Luna Park».“
