about

Peacock is a song about the bird living outside our barn/practice space, in front of a massive oak in the planes around Bologna, Italy. Among insects and sundries, broken windows and open space, the peacock spent a whole summer listening to our music, interrupting with its squawks between songs.
Peacock is about the obnoxiousness of vanity, pride, and flaunted superiority. In the end, making art is not a competition, but the only legacy we'll leave behind.

lyrics

Mow the lawn in rainy May.
Trim the edge, be straight.
Let me be your househusband.
What do I need an aftershave?
I’m the King of alfa-hay,
you’re the Queen of spades.
Fly me to the peacock heaven,
there I will show you my blue train.
Young feathers all around,
my beak is sharp.
Ever since I was a pup,
I’ve dreamt about my first “Uh!”.
I’m the King of alfa-hay,
you’re the Queen of spades.
Let’s play hearts
with no cards.
Mow the lawn in rainy May.
Trim the edge, be straight.
Let me be your househusband.
What do I need an aftershave?
Young feathers all around,
my beak is sharp.
Ever since I was a pup,
I’ve dreamt about my first “Uh!”.
I thought I was nonpareil
but then I’ve read
that “It’s not a race at all”.
It’s not at all.
Young feathers all around,
my beak is sharp.
Ever since I was a pup,
I’ve dreamt about my first “Uh!”.

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
