about

A mother's anxiety can do more damage than the educational intent she would like to instill. And it may happen that she treats her children like geraniums to be watered on their windowsill, exhibiting their beauty and hindering their vocations, their desires. It is a form of slavery and prohibition, which only feeds the frustration of the children, who see their dreams unfulfilled. "Mommy" talks about ambitions and desires, which must be followed even if they go further on the horizon and are forced to circumnavigate the World. And find yourself with your back to the starting point. "Mommy"'s conception took place following the vision of the video of "Before the water gets too high" by the Parquet Courts played at the Rough Trade in New York City in 2018. "Mommy"'s genesis starts from a rhythmic loop of a Korg Electribe Sampler. The contrast between the dark and booming electronic base and the ethereal and light-hearted tones of the music and lyrics reflects that between the castrating attitude of some parents and the aspirations of their children.

lyrics

Please, if they want let them go,
you will not get bored.
Stay close to the shore!
I think it would be better.
Take a nap! Brush your teeth!
Cut it equally! Do it rarely!
I think it would be better.
If you look over the sea
you will see yourself from behind.
Remember, be ambitious and see.
Beauty will come, love is baseless.
The secret of the game is…
…oops, it’s time for you to make a move. If it’s not your place, go!
Three notes is a chord!
Skate with your new board!
I think it would be better.
People think their own shit
but do not ask at night
Children never cry.
I think it would be better.
I think you would feel better.
I think it would be better.
If you look over the sea
you will see yourself from behind.
Remember, be ambitious and see.
Beauty will come, love is baseless.
The secret of the game is…
…oops, it’s time for you to make a move. If you look over the sea
you will see yourself from behind.
Remember, be ambitious and see.
Beauty will come, love is leafless.
The secret of the game is…
…oops, it’s time for you to make a…
I’ve put my kiddies in a vase
and some H2O.
Now there is a lovely bud,
it’s a funny shape.

We Were Never Being Boring Collective image

We Were Never Being Boring Collective Italy

We want music to never turn into something boring for us. It would mean that we have become boring. Because music does not die with mp3′s or copyright: boredom is what brings it down, when it becomes a habit. All we need is a small do-it-yourself collective, as tiny as a simple smile. ... more
