Empty Street, my band's first song. Everything was written by me in 15 minutes of inspiration, during a sleepless night after I had broke up with my ex. It's obviously as autobiographical as can be, but I hope that doesn't disturb you much. It's not a fantastic song lirically, but I like the melody and the music a lot. I hope you like it

Lyrics:

I walk alone on this empty street
All my dreams are gone
You're barely a memory I can't reach
But I'll just go on

There is no reason for this disease
You wished it was gone
And now and then I wish I could speak
To right all this wrongs

(chorus)
You should be by my side
I should have closed my eyes
And then pretend that all the problems
Were only in my mind

But it all happened, I had no choice
No chance and no words
And I'm alone on this empty street
I'm walking alone...

(chorus)
You should be by my side
I should have closed my eyes
And then pretend that all the problems
Were only in my mind

(final bridge)
Don't pretend to say that everything's more than OK
I won't pretend to say that I'll be happy either way...

I swear in all seriousness I had the very same thought on my mind when I just listened to it

you know what, Sergio, I could say I like this because we're friends -- but I say I like this because I really do like it.... the sound is fantastic, the melody is haunting in a very positive way..... listening to it for the second and third and fourth time in a row, it gets better and better and better. I love it. The melody is great. And in 10 years you'll be playing Slane and then I can tell people "hey, I know this guy and his band from the very beginning"

huge song, hands down
