Made in August 2007 during L’Orca’s stay in Cleveland. Recorded in August and December 2007 together with Chris (guitar, bass guitar).
The video shows the rain on West Sixth (first part) and the sun at Edgewater (second part).
It is L’Orca’s song for her. Killer whale is her other side.
3. In the moment
E:
In 2006, during the month of April, Michelle and Brian held a party at the Pinnacle, where they just moved. Luca made a video and L’Orca added a song to it.
The final recording of the song was made in August 2007. Darcie made some videos while she was with L’Orca at the studio with Loz.
The song was inspired by Eliran. The title is from Parker.

In questo pezzo hanno suonato con L’Orca:
Chris, fedele amico e produttore. Loz, amico pianista di Roma, Holly, splendida visionaria sorella di Darcie.
Il video racconta la sera in cui, dopo esserci trovati a West 6th, a Cleveland, siamo andati al Pinnacle, dove Michele e Brian hanno acquistato casa.
Nel video si vede l’Anna e John, mio carissimo amico messicano.
Il pezzo è stato ispirato da Eliran. Il titolo è di Parker
4. Settle for less
August 2007 - Lava Room Recording Studio with Chris, Lorenzo, Holly and Margo. Settle for less is the leading track of The Shaman of friendship by L'Orca. The song was written in March 2006 and the music was added in November 2006. The final recordings were made in August 2007 with the following line up: L'Orca - voice and guitar; Chris - guitar; Lorenzo - Piano; Margo - Harmonium; Holly – percussions.
5. Suerte
It was made in Barcellona, in November 2007.
John is the voice. Loz is the piano. The story is from Gianni
This is a real story, something that really happened to Gianni. Who else other than John could recite it for me on this CD?
6. Square house
E:
This song was written for Robby and Gianni, after their wedding in December 2005.
The Xmas pics are from Stefano Panzanini.
In December 2005, after seventeen years together, Gianni and Robby got married. The next step will probably be to have kids. I will put their picture on my fridge, together with those of Menoz’s kids, those of George’s daughter and those of other friend s kids. It seems like that most of my friends are settling down and I keep making the choice to travel the world.

Questo pezzo è stato scritto per Robby e Gianni, dopo il loro matrimonio in Dicembre 2005.

7. The world is my oyster
The world is my oyster was written in March - April 2005.
The final recordings were made in August 2007 with Lorenzo on the keys and Emma on voice.
I owe the title and the idea to my friend Richard.
Good man / In my pyjamas - At the beginning of 2005 I visited my beloved city Vancouver, BC. It was the first time that I was there by myself. It was a very tuff experience. We had our usual BBQ at Richard and Sue’s house and I had the opportunity to see some of my old friends. I stayed at Richard s and Barbara too. I have to thank them both for helping me go thru the healing process. For this and for your friendship I love you guys.
8. Mi manchi
At the beginning of 2005 I had a long distance relationship. The lyrics of this song are phone messages sent by her. They also refer to my passion for the puppies and my continuous visits to the pet shop and to the beautiful love story of Antonio and Sonia. During those months her brother lived and worked with me in Cleveland.
9. How much I love you
May 2007 - Visiting Vancouver, BC in 2006
This was part of my first never released solo CD Indian Summer and it is one of the songs that never made it to The Tree s first CD Cherry blossom. I think it was too personal to be part of it. It talks about my love for Vancouver, BC and my last period when, together with my ex, we left to go back to Italy. It is one of the first songs I wrote in Cleveland, during probably the darkest period of my life. Is not it funny? My first six months in Cleveland were the worst six months of my life. The last six months have been the best six months of my life…
10. Esperanza – Hope
The summer of 1995 was a very intense period to write music. I was mainly playing acoustic sets with Marco. Leo was not playing with us anymore. We write and recorded this song that talks about common visions among friends. It is one of the two songs I ever wrote that talks about the passion for the people of my same sign. I would have wanted Parker to sing it and I ended up working with Melissa. Jesse put a few magnificent arrangements into it and also Mike gave a kick to it with his drums. The lea guitar is still the same, since ten years ago.
11. Grandetetta
This video was filmed between Colà and Lazise (VR). It shows the view of the Lake from my house and it ends at the castle of Lazise.
In the of 1995 I wrote this song that talks about the common dreams with my friend Gianni, at that time on a crisis with Robby. The song was originally played and recorded by Marco and Gabry, during the last period of L’Orca s previous band Godiva Acoustic. Mexico was the dream and Mexican food was it taste. We used to go to La Torre Antigua in Bastiglia, Modena and to the La Piedra Del Sol in Bologna.
12. Toward Naussa
The video was made at the beginning of the year in Strasburg, Alsace, F. The second part shows The villa in Colà, Lazise, VR.
The song was written at the end of 1994, after a vacation at Parhos, Greek island. That summer was really special. For the first time I was on vacation with my best friend and the other great friends from Tuscany. For many years I thought that it was the best vacation I ever had. The song was originally played and recorded by the most performing line up of Godiva Acoustic with Marco and Leo. This version has been reinterpreted by Jesse in a Bossanova version. When I listen to it I remember the beautiful times at the Opa! On West Sixth in Cleveland, where we started our gatherings at the beginning of 2006. Jesse was there, playing for us.
