The Strangers

about

The Strangers' is a song about how being different can be both difficult and enriching. I grew up in quite a different way than my peers, with an Italian father and a Dutch mother, who were considered 'hippies,' and I lived between Italy and the Netherlands. As an adult I moved to London, and later to L.A., so I have been immersed in many different cultures, and yet I have never been able to blend in with the people of the place where I lived or truly felt like I belonged there. I was often the odd one. This probably led me to having very eclectic tastes and never fully belonging to a subculture or music genre. I developed a perspective and a range that is quite uncommon, which is reflected in my creative work, like the various music styles that influence the music I compose. For instance, in 'The Strangers' you can hear the influence of metal and electronica, with heavy guitars, ambient soundscapes and New Wave–style synthesizers. The verse is inspired by more prog-rock sounds, and the bridge veers between classical music and film scores.

lyrics

You recognize
I am the stranger
I am the stranger
I am the stranger

I don’t know where I belong
Stolen land, stolen land

I don’t know where to stand
Stolen land, stolen land

We are the strangers
We are the strangers
We can see through you, can you too?

I can see through you,
Can you too?
Can you too?

On and on
On and on
The search goes on
On and on
Where do you belong?
Where do you belong?

I don’t know where to stand
Stolen land, stolen land

We are the strangers
We are the strangers
We can see through you, can you too?

I can see through you,
Can you too?
Can you too?

Where do you belong?
Where do you belong?

We are the strangers
We can see through you
Can you too?
Can you too?

Can you too?
Can you too?
