the unicorn 02:58
the unicorn what are you up to my beautiful friend the thousand thoughts you hold in your hands I see how you do it, how your days begin with peace… got you some white silk, sewed it in time witness of your bearing like soldier, like bride here come the demons and the angels did not follow you there oh looking up you see a greatness with no name what stands in front of you can’t be that dangerous unceasing walking and not a false step heading for the most remote path on hearth here come the demons all around the night falls it is time… time now the mountains echo to the words you speak “I will come back the day I have got what I need” half of them at your back, the other half ahead then I heard the mountains echo to your words…

you will come like sunshine you will come like sunshine you will be my kin and I will find the right distance to keep and you will go through deserts cross old Septimer with hands that feed don’t fall over don’t fall over by the time the sun comes up I will hide I’ll always do best, sometimes lie lowering her guard a mother dies between the lions, you cope with the fierce your hands like diamonds will step over Will step over by the time the sun comes up I must hide I’ll always do best sometimes lie lowering her guard a mother dies I will do best, sometimes lie lowering my guard I would die but not that I always know which way to go, son and I choose with instinct and sight your shadow growing longer in the evening do avoid, do avoid, do avoid the enemy’s path

black thoughts you kept it all to yourself you say it’s ok you’re keeping it all to yourself on your guard again they gave you a name but they don’t know you well three times caught three times you start again you’ll have it all boy if you say yes “musk is calling north I will leave at dawn” now we come we’re here and they’re out of you way for ever more don’t look back, the past it’s gone there’s not much to say and your black thoughts we will erase the knot is untangled and the dark current tamed but a strange voice inside of you says they’re here again you run till you’re breathless you run not to hear it but now we come we’re here and they’re out of you way for ever more don’t look back, the past it’s gone there’s not much to say and your black thoughts we will erase them all.

number 24 I don’t know why some people don’t want to see clear people don’t want to see clear I don’t know why it is better to remain wild

the workings of a dubious life it took a second and there I was the big cold gear wheel has taken me oh no promises heaven for a little help everything will work out if I just hate myself behave myself from their warm welcome I see a Queen from the mirror someone who is not me I’ve come too far to turn around now hey, you know me I don’t speak just to please fighting down these voices inside of me I‘m awake and know exactly how to feel it can’t be all too scary the workings of a dubious life hell, is this the greatest nothing the workings of a dubious life

head north 03:58
head north we only go around once it means we only go around once I mean and if it doesn’t mean a thing I’ll say it anyway B C D E find a sense to it my body can’t communicate my body is tired, it hurts step by step I’ll go further I will head north, I will be naked I will learn along the way form those who have to teach yes I’ve been searching yes I’ve been mislead by beautiful faces then the dark came, I had to take a stand all I know is that I want to get closer to, closer to, closer to you I would paint it all black now I could add some red I could add some yellow what am I at? you ignore You ignore You ignore you think I am the bitch who lives next door we only go around once I mean we only go around once I mean not bad I’ll hurt myself this way and you forgot, and without it it is not enough, not today anymore we have the enemy on the run it means we only go around once I mean and if it doesn’t mean a thing I’ll say it anyway B C D E find a sense to it we only go around once it means we only go around once I mean and if it doesn’t mean a thing this B C D E 234 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2

about

The Unicorn: an intimate and violently sincere group of songs, recorded voice and guitar.

“….a very short and very intensive work, whose fascinating and intimate atmosphere involves the listener from the first to the last note…”
Musicboom, march 2009

“…la stessa grinta in 7 composizioni anglofone e folkie tutte riuscite, che denotano capacità di scrittura musicale, interpreta¬zione propria e pronuncia favorevole. Il futuro è ora”.
Blow up, marzo 2009

“…the essential way in which the record is produced, enhances the remarkable songwriter’s qualities of Francesca….her voice re¬corded without too many effects, imposes itself as the narrator of these intelligent and very personal lyrics”.
Rockerilla, march 2009

“…Her voice is a deep, precious and sharpened one. A voice that has stories to tell and all the means to do it…she is a gifted son¬gwriter that, with the help of the lower notes, seems to embark on a trip amongst the most ancestral aspects of human beings…”
Ondalternatvia.it, february 2009
