"I" Sightings too

5/5

Lyrics and songs excerpts.

To listen to them in full go to Shop

Pain killers in your pocket

Coffee in your hand

Honey glue on your hair

You’re the man.  You’re the man

 

Tranquilizers in your purse

Fake eyelashes on your face

Plastic gadgets on your hand

You’re the girl.  You’re the girl

 

And you’re ready to face them all

Another sound in the world

You’re the best after all

The best after all.

 

Staring at your smart phone

Earphones in your ears

Face as cool as next to none

You’re the one.  You’re the one

 

Rainbow colors on your mind

And ponies in your heart

Walking proudly in the crowd

Yeah, you’re so proud.  You’re so proud

 

And you’re ready to face them all

Another sound in the world

You’re the best after all

The best after all.

 

Redness in your eyes

Dryness in your mouth

Completely out of touch

And you think you know so much

 

And you’re ready to face them all

Another sound in the world

You’re the best after all

The best after all.

 

He’s having a good laugh

He’s having a blast

Do you know why?

‘Cause you’re such a dumb ass

Is it you,

When you do your hair

To look like him or her 

In that magazine where lines are blur

 

Is it you

When you move like this

And try to be like him or her

In the movie that movie that you watched with Ricky M.

 

Is it you, so confused, 

they took away your last chance to be true,

to yourself, is it you

 

Is it you 

When say those words

What you heard yesterday

When you where there by mistake

 

Is it you 

When you walk like that,

An, you think you are

A born aristocrat

 

Is it you, so confused, 

they took away your last chance to be true

 to yourself, is it you

They say the game is easy to play

They say just don’t be afraid

They say you’ve got to let it go

They say just drop that heavy load

 

And they add to it

Satisfaction guaranteed

Madai, madai, madai

 

All I want is some truth I could use with no excuse

All I want is some truth I could use for me and you

So, when we’ll be back again

To some other cyberspace

We can add to it

The memories of you and me

 

They say listen what I say

They say believe me I’ve been there

They say just follow me today

They say you’ve got to be on your way

You decide if you wanna play

They through you all a big parade

And they add to it

Satisfaction guarantee 

 

Madai, Madai

 

All I want is some truth I could use with no excuse

All I want is some truth I could use for me and you

So, when we’ll be back again

To some other hyperspace

We can add to it

The memories of you and me

Madai, madai, madai

Love and hate

The checker board 

Of our nights and days

Life projected on the wall

A pawn’s dancing on its own

No pain, no hope, no face, no goal

Just a shadow on the wall

 

Yes and no

The checker board 

Our highs and lows

The tools are just spread on the floor 

No one knows what they are for

The mind’s corrupted, the heart’s ice cold

The hands’ are numb don’t feel no more

Hope and fear

The checker board 

Of our laughs and tears

The stars, the Moon and the sun above

The long forgotten sacred sol

Another graffiti on the wall

Black and white

The contradictions of our daily lives

And the pillars stand alone

Stronger then ever before

Still standing on the checkers floor

They will never reach the stars above

Stardust wrapped in a solar ray

Incarnated in this angel’s face

And I’m looking at you amazed

 

Your lemon face that smiles

Your candy face that cries

It’s all the same this time

Hm, hn

 

It doesn’t matter anyhow

Whatever you do makes me smile

The best thing ever is…

So hard to define

 

So, let me be with you

And love you when you do

Those things that are just you

And that’s true

 

To be there when you sleep

To be there ‘cause you so sweet

To be there just to be… 

Complete

 

Please, never do look back

Please, never do regret

Please, never do forget

To be youself



I’ve heard you say

The other day

That you don’t believe 

In fairy tales

I’ve heard you say 

The other day

That you don’t believe

In superman

 

I’ll ask once 

I’ll ask you twice

I’ll ask you thrice

You have to go back to the days

Of wonder, magic and innocence

 

I’ve heard you say

The other day

That you don’t believe 

In magic wands

I’ve heard you say

The other day

That you don’t believe 

In Alladyn’s lamp

 

I’ll ask you once…

 

I’ve heard you say

The other day

That you don’t believe 

In angels tales

I’ve heard you say

The other day

That you don’t believe 

In little elves

 

I’ll ask you once…

Say hello to your friend

Say hello to your foe

There is no need for passwords

We are all on the same boat

 

Say hello to your neighbor 

Say hello to a stranger, too

It doesn’t take too much labor

To say hello out of the blue

Just treat them all with respect

Pay attention to what they say

They are the mirror of yourself

 

Say hello to your thoughts

Say hello to your feelings too

To your hand and to your toes

They’ve been with you since the beginning of your world

 

Say hello to them all

Say hello to the world

Together we’ll get back home

We need their help, did you know?

Just treat them all with respect

Pay attention to what they say

They’re you teachers; don’t let it go to waste

Say hello to your friend

Say hello to your foe

There is no need for passwords

We are all on the same boat

 

Say hello to your neighbor 

Say hello to a stranger, too

It doesn’t take too much labor

To say hello out of the blue

Just treat them all with respect

Pay attention to what they say

They are the mirror of yourself

 

Say hello to your thoughts

Say hello to your feelings too

To your hand and to your toes

They’ve been with you since the beginning of your world

 

Say hello to them all

Say hello to the world

Together we’ll get back home

We need their help, did you know?

Just treat them all with respect

Pay attention to what they say

They’re you teachers; don’t let it go to waste

As she passed me by 

On her yellow bike

I suddenly realized

The touch was in her smile

 

And the world around

In a blink of an eye

Changed its morbid sound

To a symphony of lights

 

What does it take to change?

A state that has no name

And to say goodbye 

To useless I’s of reason

 

As she passed me by 

On her yellow bike

The sun in her eyes

Told me it was right

 

And the Queens arise

In the heart of mine

As the Kings resigned 

Their power for a while

 

As she passed me by 

On her yellow bike

The twinkle in her eyes

Said stop and change your mind

 

Who put those things in my head?

Things that don’t belong there

And I ‘m bouncing off the wall getting nowhere

Let me sing you a song of love

The one that’s granted by the Gods

Let me sing you a song of love

The one that’ll never ask for divorce

The one that’s always by your side

The one that’s so hard to find

Let me sing you a song of love

The one that’s there when you’re not

Let me sing you a song of love

The one that takes your hand when you’re about to fall

The one that never ask you why

The one that never makes you cry

Let me sing you a song of love

The one that never tells you what’s right or wrong

Let me sing you a song of love

The one that never ask you where you come from

The one that always lifts you up

The one that never brings you down

Let me sing you a song of love

The one that never asks you what you’ve got

Let me sing you a song of love

The one that takes you as you are

The one that is not there to take, the one that is not there to make,

The one that’s there just to be within you and me and everywhere

As we travel down the road of time

We reach new mornings, summers, and heights

(but) aren’t  they the same old ones

That yesterday we left behind

A new sky, a new moon, a new sun, a new war

(but ) in the end my friend

We have been through them many times before

Now and then

(they) all in one

Am I now or now is I

Another tune, another place, another taste, another touch

(but) isn’t this other new

In the end the same old stuff

Now and then

(but)they all in one

(but) Am I now or now is I

New love, new hate, new smile, new state

In the end my friend

We always make the same mistake

Break the circle, move within 

You’ll find inside that what you need 

To break free

CD Reviews

I'm the owner of Alberto's CDs which I listen to very often. The message that he's conveying to us is based on real life observations and what happens to us on a daily basis. I have a few favourite songs such as "Fake reputation" where our daily pretenses are in plain sight. Another one is the "Devil's fun" where Alberto succuntly describes the undecidednes of the younger generation, with no goals or ambitions and seemingly lost without any guidance. I also like "While I was sleeping" which is soft and full of melancholic overtones. Our true life experiences can be felt through his music. I am eagerly waiting for the launch of his next CD.
Margaret Szypuła
The music often appears to be meant for casual listening. Each selection has its unique focus - rock, melody, harmony. Each song 'demands' further review! Upon closer exmination, the layers of meaning of each song unravel like an onion. Well Done Alberto C. It was a joy revisiting this music!!! Both Albums need to be approached superficially first - excellent music to perform cooking duties in the kitchen (LOL).😉😉😉😉😉
Lorenzo Russo
I have listened to many genres of music for several decades and I have recently been listening to the newly composed disks of talented musician Alberto Cieplik's Sightings one and Sightings too. Both are excellent pieces of work. I thoroughly enjoyed all the tracks from start to finish on both disks. The lyrics were both original and relevant on both CDs and the easy rhythm of the musical composition of his songs, made it enjoyable in almost any environment. I strongly recommend that you listen to either one of his disks, you will not be disappointed.
Omar Kubursi
Music included in the next album Alberto C. - “sightings too” brings peace. The sounds flow lightly, casually. While listening to it, one wants to slow down, cuddle up and give in into lyricism. I regret that I do not know English and do not understand the lyrics of the songs. The music from this album is like an island of carefreeness in the turmoil of life.
