Lyrics

There is so much blue Between the sky and the Azure sea Cut by the jagged dagger Of the Mediterranean maquis Hardy evergreen shrubs Rooted in centuries of drought Even their names sound ancient Phoenician juniper, and Cistus I scale the grippy granite Gigantic stairs Leading to the top Of this barren island From which I can see Everything (C) Y.

Inspiration & Story

On a low wind day, we sailed to the Maddalena archipelago, taking the dinghy to nearby Isola Spargi. There is so much blue… between the sky and the azure sea. This original piece blends spoken word poetry with an instrumental track inspired by the wild beauty of Sardegna. It captures the jagged maquis, the granite boulders, and the endless horizons — a climb toward perspective, where sea and sky meet in infinite blue. Filmed among the Mediterranean maquis — hardy evergreen shrubs adapted to Sardegna’s dry, hot landscape — this video reflects on timeless resilience. Even their names sound ancient: Phoenician juniper, Cistus, rooted in fire and stone. As the granite rises in giant staircases, step by step, we climb toward the island’s crown — and from the top, everything unfolds. ✨ If this resonates with you, please like, comment, and subscribe for more original music and poetry.
