Description
This is the definitive version of my previously released demo "The Red Old Box".
I looked for someone who could write lyrics for this one for a long time, and finally I started to collaborate with Richard Schletty (rschletty).
He is a great songwriter and in a few hours he wrote these beautiful lyrics starting from a little idea I submitted to him.
This is a description from Richard:
"I am thankful to Luca for providing such a wonderful soundtrack to work
with. We proved to ourselves that we can do more as a team by sending
comments back and forth. The soundtrack got progressively better with each
round of e-mails, and Luca helped guide me in delivering the vocals. At one
point I had too many vocal harmonies (oohs and aaahs), so we cut back. The
idea for The Old Red Box was Luca's. He softly sang a few lines in a demo
version, then described what objects and feelings the old red box might
contain. I took it from there."
We hope you like this song, any comment is appreciated.

Lyrics
The Old Red Box
In an old red box I found a picture of you.
In an old red box remnants of love I once knew.
In an old red box I found a letter you wrote.
In an old red box one lingering note.
Â
I gaze at your image frozen in time.
I read between lines, the reasons, the rhyme.
Your ruby lips distant, your rosy cheeks faded.
My heart, it was sealed, now you dare invade it.
Â
In an old red box such unbridled yearning.
In an old red box the old flame still burning.
In an old red box I found a picture of you.
In an old red box remnants of love I once knew.
Â
With each passing year warm colors turn gray.
Regrets all must die as flesh turns to clay.
I gaze at your image frozen in time.
I read between lines, the reasons and rhyme.
Â
In an old red box I found a picture of you.
Such unbridled yearning, remnants of love I once knew.
In an old red box I found a letter you wrote.
Oh, woman, my heart's in my throat!

This is cool! Music is great and sounds real not like some fake instruments and Schletty this is the best song I've heard you do. Truly an amazing song and I love the trippy tremolo strums! All the guitar parts are really cool! This is a hit!
