We all wondered for a while,
Why Paris again?
Certainly because it’s the 20s of our century and history, you know, teaches but has no pupils.
She arrived unexpectedly, and the bell rang tin tin.
The bell rang precisely at school tin tin.
The bell, animals in the pastures have one, it can be useful, so you recognize them one by one and you can’t lose them.
The bell, I confessed to him, is an incoming train, you always have to be on your guard.

It’s a recall, we all know that.

There’s a place where I sometimes hang out when I am looking for answers – in my life, in my music, in my work. In my darkest hours, I am convinced that everything outside this place is meaningless tin tin tin.

Good luck or bad luck, you never know which side you’re on: could be superstition, could be fear, the layering of certain customs weighs.
This ensemble of beings moving tin tin in unison sends your brain to another dimension, sometimes it makes you flee, sometimes it makes you stay, sometimes it makes you melt into a prism of ethereal sounds.

That’s why there are arcane that won’t and shouldn’t be revealed, and it’s better that way. These little things are not interesting anymore, it would be more useful to understand how to put the rest together, so that everything stays together, but something, tin tin tin, somehow always slips and we get lost in it.

Could getting lost bring luck?

-Pier Francesco Petracchi
