Nikoletta Winters Personal, beautifully written and an all-around heartbreakingly gorgeous follow-up to their tremendous “Megadream” album. Mariani and Di Zio bring together so much talent here. Favorite track: Blood.

thekintnersmusic Best alternative of 2021 that I’ve heard. I’ve heard quite a bit. You have all your moods, flawless performances, even more pristine editing and production.

Then when you dive deeper you find artists concerned about entertaining you for a long time. There’s plenty of layers to a body. This record is more than just skin deep.

Rob Bryant As always it is hard to pin down SLWC to any particular style, but there is a sophisticated pop sensibility running right through all 9 songs on this outstanding album. Delicate and dreamy vocals float over careful instrumentation and everything stays fresh and engaging, I wish it was longer! Favorite track: Feet.

Eyes 02:52
Chirping birds among the vernal trees Smell of fresh bread floating through the mazy streets By the window I can touch the sun Tasting warm coffee, guessing slowly one by one Every voice, every little step The shape of noise always has its own face Coming in my dark Coming in my dark .. Through my feet I can feel the ground Happiness, following carefully just the sound Laughing kids running in the park As my heart, I remember every beat Coming in my dark Coming in my dark ..

Liver 03:25
Would you like to play this amazing game? Would you wish to stay into a waving flame? Would you leave today for a brand new shame? Would you loose your way for a shocking frame? So let’s go Put your head in and move Come on! Put your head in That’s the new fun That’s the new fun The new fun Would you like to wreck every sweetest dream? Would you love to lick bloody big ice cream? Would you go to swim into muddy stream? Would you wish to hear best of human scream? So let’s go Put your head in and move Come on! Put your head in That’s the new fun That’s the new fun The new fun Cut and break Beat and shoot Burn and smack Spit and blow Kick and throw Rip and scratch Smash and saw Kill and run That’s the new fun That’s the new fun That’s the new fun That’s the new fun The new fun

Feet 03:39
Be concrete Don’t fly through rainbows anymore On this floor Stick your feet more strongly and wait For your turn, stand in a row Dressing white simple light clothes Root your toes And you will live forever And you will live forever Forever Be concrete Drown your childish puppets in the tub Grab and hold Your beliefs, the only things you have Be alone, be a stone No matter if the night comes too cold Freeze your blood No matter if the night comes too cold Freeze your blood And you will live forever And you will live forever And you will live forever And you will live forever And you will live forever And you will live forever And you will live forever And you will live forever (only one life) Forever (only one life) Forever (only one life)

Lungs 03:22
Half a bottle of water A pair of glasses A wooden brown chair Cheap dirty curtains Sweetish warm smell A coat in the wardrobe Two coins in my pocket A ring on my finger This is the time Don’t breathe at all Give up, my love Fade in the shadow If you are alone I’m alone too If you are alone I’m alone too If you are alone I’m alone too If you are alone I’m alone too If you are alone I’m alone too If you are alone I’m alone too

Brain 02:56
There’s a collision Above your head Sparks fall all over All over around your bed Don’t break the silence Don’t move at all Feel antimatter Running fast through your skull You are an atom floating random You’re a flashing little dot There’s a collision Into the nowhere Hyper vibration Blowing up the atmosphere You are an atom floating random You’re a flashing little dot

Bones 03:57
Monkeys into station halls Creepers climb up the walls Crocodiles rule the pools Black crows on the buildings’ top Wild weed just erased the crop Awful herds of feral bulls Rough streets all full of broken bones White skulls as old empty stones No more face No more race Just a huge dome of leaves Snakes are hanging from the trees Flying swarms of stronger bees All the flats are dark and cold No one wonders of starry skies No one cares of the gold mines No one wonders of starry skies No one cares of the gold mines Rough streets all full of broken bones White skulls as old empty stones No more face No more race Just a huge dome of leaves

Blood 03:58
The man is standing up right against the brick wall Hands tied up with old electric wires Sun is burning up alone into the sky Everything shines full of summer glow Sweat drops slowly fall down cutting air to the ground Drawing few stars right on the sand What have you found In this last minute? What have you found In this ultimate glance? What have you learned? A ray of light strikes and now shines on the silver gun A ray of fire marks inexorable end Nothing can stop the flow of the rolling of time But the fact not to believe in it Blood drops slowly fall down cutting air to the ground Black birds suddenly fly from trees What have you found in this last minute? What have you found in this ultimate glance? What have you learned? What have you found in this last minute, this ultimate glance? What have you learned? Do you remember the child’s smile? What have you found in this last minute, this ultimate glance? The lonely man with the gun shows his back to the wall And the sun’s burning into the sky

Heart 04:07
So one day You came out From dark to light So that day You pulled out A spark from me I’ll keep preserving Your dazzling smile So today I’m stronger Unbreakable, unbreakable I’ll keep preserving Your dazzling smile I’ll keep preserving Your dazzling smile Forever Forever Forever Forever Forever

Hands 02:38
I don’t want to fall down in here You take my hand and pull me out Into your heart Too many stars into the black night sky I can't count them all, you choose a star Only for me Me and you You and me There was a shiny bicycle at home Then just the fire came, think of me When you go to sleep You and me Me and you I don’t want to fall down in here The water’s cold and dark so call My name right now And take my hand and pull me out Into your heart

about

“Bodies Stories” is a concept album of 9 songs each one titled and related to a body part for reading and exploring the various aspects, feelings and behaviors of mankind. Each song tells a different story starting from the matter that builds humans: emotional matter. Dark atmospheres, mighty synth and electric guitars sounds, melancholic electric pianos and mellotron, but also catchy tunes, acoustic guitars, clear and elaborate harmonies of backing vocals, flutes and hornes make “Bodies Stories” a kaleidoscopic colorful album.
