On my way back from the moon On my way back from my solo venture Wondering how I can find The words good enough so that I can describe How it feels to wander in her beauty Her silence and dust How I got lost in her peaceful craters And her seas On my way back from the moon On my way back from my solo venture Now I’m coming back to our planet with atmosphere And my discoveries I’ll whisper into your ears And a secret that will remain untold If I’ll be silent and calm as she was Walking up there Being careful not to stumble against Her rocky surface Now I’m coming back to our planet with atmosphere With my discoveries I’ll whisper into your ears And a secret that will remain untold If I’ll be silent and calm as she was A signal loud and clear Time has expired and I’m made to breathe in I have to go back down down down down down down down Down

Leech 03:01
As I watch you sucking my blood I recall how it all started I thought you were an inoffensive animal And therefore I granted your request I did open my veins for you You started sucking and growing Me weaker, you growing Yes You started sucking and growing Me weaker, you growing Oh no Leech only now I understand what you do It hasn’t been easy to accept I’ve seen you around with other people You playing your games of denial Playing games of indecision Now this one thing you don’t know yet Although I tried hard to explain leech your game has been revealed and soon from my body you will disappear
3.
Slapstick 02:24
Slapstick Take it take it back Count up to 15 in your head Turn it upside down Now you’ve got your good result Sparks then a fight Sitting near the back door of the devil’s house The big mess has begun Now show me how do I get out You take the good away You take it, you break it, throw it away You make me hate everything You make me, yes you make me hate oh no no Found out their game from the back door His will got strong, get it right Joe If they attach get the stick out This time You take the good away You take it, you break it, throw it away You make me hate everything You make me, yes you make me hate oh no no

Do you know where to go, when it’s cold and dark Will you be in a safe place when the night comes Do you know where to go when the night comes Will you be in a safe place, with no morning star

To the wild 03:42
One evening I sat silent looking at her If there was a secret, then that was the time Careful with my approach march And her strange daring ways Two people were watching they were shaking their heads What is she doing isn’t she scared? Her fingers and nails looked like claws But I stayed Shaking off my fears Then came the day to go away Her fingers and her nails, go away Clear and untamed, just go away My heading and my head You go away, go away Tidal forces tell you whether it’s yes or no A firm grip you will have to like or go Your wild instinct never looks back Now you are smiling at your morning star And then one day she went away Her fingers and her nails, go away Clear and untamed, go away My heading and my head She‘s going back to the wild
6.
Sitting on the brink of this world and the other Dropping soon your latest note for me to disentangle You put me in a frame Write me pretty things I become red in the face You, still before the spell Awake when I’m asleep Roaming in yourself Resting on the brink of this world and the other Wearing a life jacket ready for your triple header You eccentric and blue, you accurate fool I become red in the face You, still before the spell In your trance-like state Letting go as if you would fall asleep
7.
Bad dream 04:07
A handshake A sinister and cold gaze Empty the round hall Signs to proceed Big beat Coming from a big room If I’ll make it in there I will be safe The door is open Hey, it’s nothing but a bad dream Like all those bad dreams You wake and you’re safe They come back crawling Bad dream It’s nothing but a bad dream They came from a black pit You’re throwing them back Their endless falling you praise His sinister and cold gaze She’s fighting all the demons and then when she gets there A hundred have left Hey, it’s nothing but a bad dream Like all those bad dreams You wake and you’re safe They come back crawling Bad dream It’s nothing but a bad dream They came from a black pit You’re throwing them back Their endless falling you praise
8.
Between the moon and the sun For me the first one Die of cold, might make me die of cold Between the moon and the sun For me the first one Die of cold, might make me die of cold And I’ll touch that stone, I’ll keep control Then move another step towards the edge You know yourself so well You have always been keen on Mother of the ancient truth weakened but resistant Between the moon and the sun For me the first one Die of cold, might make me die of cold It is with success you played your game Here’s my disgust until I accept And when you see I am cracking up You would smile and say I am so worn out Now how much longer will it take Before I will find my place to rest
9.
I can see through it I can touch fire now I could go trough hell Won’t hurt me no more Only a treasurer has authority over me Oh me, can’t you see what I see I know I’m a treasurer Pay attention to this strange wind rising Eyes are wide open Who dares watching there? She is leaving soon she’ll be one like me Only a treasurer has authority over me Oh me, can’t you see what I see I know I’m a treasurer Pay attention to this strange wind rising Soon it will be here I am ready now I’ll fight my enemy I am standing up No sickness no disease I’ll break the spell
10.
Bring the noise When noise is action I’ll bring some love Bring satisfaction You will find me there Leaving footprints As I climb up I’ll lose myself In to rarefied air In a very dark sky Perfect and silent My enemy appears on the scene If you get closer I promise I’ll hit you I will make you fall, your face covered in mud Away, away away If you get closer I promise I’ll hit you I will draw my poisoned sward Bring the noise When noise is action I’ll bring some love Bring satisfaction I will keep the past distant and quiet And… And this rarefied air And this very dark sky Perfect and silent My enemy appears on the scene If you get closer I promise I’ll hit you I will make you fall, your face covered in mud Away, away away If you get closer I promise I’ll hit you I will draw my poisoned sward Away away away, if you get closer I promise I’ll hit you
11.
It was on a dark night, I embarked on my quest I looked up high, in the sky a million stars. I didn’t know their names, I said hallo then moved my left foot and then the right one: in the sky a million stars. Hey sentry, would you let me in your kingdom where the wind blows stronger and the dangers are unknown Hey hey sentry, would you let me in your kingdom where the road gets tougher and from where there might be no return I want to find out about the secret mechanism that can make it all go right or all go wrong. I will get to the core and look with my right eye and my left one wide open. Hey sentry, would you let me in your kingdom where the wind blows stronger and the dangers are unknown Hey hey sentry, would you let me in your kingdom where the road gets tougher and from where there might be no return. No return.
12.
And in the evening I am left with the many thoughts I had at day I choose between the good and the bad ones I put them away till they are something else And I can be one With the night and her black silhouettes I can be one with the night And with her windy sea Hey, lost and not for fun that stone splintered the windowpane should I go back and start it all again

about

Francesca Lago affiche une forme peu commune (…) la mélancolie s’insinue règuliérement dans ces jeux pop, pleins de caractère et souvent piquants, et que l’on doit à une visionnaire fort bien entourée. Une réussite.
Emmanuel Hennequin, Obskure magazine (F)

Eine Sängerin zwischen Singer/Songwriter und IndiePop, die man uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen kann. (…)Ungewöhnliche Instrumentierung, überzeugende Arrangements und eine propere Stimme. Alles passt. Klarer Favorit.
Sound & Image (D)

Now here's an album that grew on me (…) Nothing here is filler or a mere throwaway and it is that quality that gives this album that most elusive of things: lasting value.
Bluesbunny (UK)


« Siberian Dream Map est bourré de titres pouvant chatouiller les charts indie. » Denis Zorgniotti pour Benzine Magazine
Denis Zorgniotti, Benzine Magazine (F)


(…)de muziek weet je continu te grijpen en is bij vlagen echt verbluffend mooi en overdonderend. Grote klasse!
Fileunder (NL)


La vitesse avec laquelle la douce voix de Francesca Lago séduit l'auditeur est telle que… on est déjà persuadé de tenir entre les mains un petit joyau.
Olivier Wouters, Music in Belgium (BE)

“A música de Francesca Lago ondula por um vasto mar de emoções, matizadas por uma atitude sincera de entrega apaixonada à arte de tecer melodias e por uma voz ampla que soa por vezes afável, outras tantas urgente.”
Dominio Dos Deuses(P)

Non c’è solo Mina a mandare perle dal buen retiro helvetico. L’aggraziata Francesca Lago si è rifatta una seconda vita musicale con l’uscita di “The unicorn”, che ne ha rivelato la filigrana d’autrice efficace e interprete sobria, e tanta concretezza del savoir faire … il suono non è mai solo tappeto nemmeno nelle tracce più posate e rarefatte… Sì, parlami di te, bella signora, del tuo mare nero nella notte scura.
Enrico Veronese, Blow Up (I)


Femme fatale e fanciulla, malinconica e speranzosa, in grado di fondere apparenti idiosincrasie in una poetica del divenire che non si accontenta di una eccellente compiutezza, ma lascia sempre spazio all’immaginazione. Tre indizi per un colpo perfetto.
Stefano Pifferi, Sentire e Ascoltare (I)

… È la luce che viaggia attraverso le migliori espressioni del rock donna (…) la ringraziamo per questo ritorno.
Letizia Bognanni, Rockit (I)

(…) Si potrebbe andare avanti così(…)ma dovrebbe essere già chiaro che il livello di personalità artistica e di forza espressiva è davvero fuori dal commune (…) "Siberian Dream Map" resta una perla che merita applausi.
Stefano Bartolotta, Ondarock.it
