Here's the first single from my upcoming fourth album, "Commandment," which will be based on the Ten Commandments. The First Commandment is represented by this tune, "Lost Souls."
I wrote it, did the vocals, bass, drums and keys, produced it and made the video. Asskicking guitarist Mike Fitzgerald is also featured as well as the tenor Calogero Andolina in the opera bit.
Thanks for listening - much appreciated!
Crank this one way, way up!
A heads up to a few FRiends. . .
I plan to be in Cleveland, TN mid November for the Petra concert.
Bookmark for later...Listening to President Trump right now. :-)
Thank you! Planning to have it out Fall of next year. Ten songs.
They can’t touch you, Rocco. Great stuff!
Wow. Good production, good mix. Solid guitar, pinch harmonics and all.
Where did you get the content for the video? Did you shoot it?
He knew His creation would turn from Him. He knew we’d value “a bigger house and a bigger car” over Him. He knew we’d be “blinded by the things that shine”, yet He still chose to suffer and die for us.
Such love.
Thanks for the sublime and hopeful message, Rocco.
Excellent!
I love the added layer on the vocals around the 3:50 mark and the lead guitar is great.
As always, the graphics are riveting.
Great music. Audio and Video production is fantastic.
I like the music, but was having trouble hearing the words. It may just be me, but I tend to have that issue when there is music in back ground and am conversing with someone, I really have to listen hard to catch what is said.
can you post the words? or is there a way to increase the sound for the words portion of the video?
I subscribed and liked the video, hope that helps :)
Thanks Rocco.
Great music and such talent. 😊
I love it! ❤️
I listened....Thanks, but no thanks. It gave me a flashback to the music that began to crumble society in the 70’s.
good metal Rocco, and love the lyric. but lol, would brother Al like it?
Wow! Thanks for posting.
Wow
I hope this scares the hell out of people
so that they will just come home
It gave me a headache.
I don’t know what I was to hear or understand...
It was a feast of visual depravity until the last few seconds.
Perhaps because I could not even understand the words due to the loud noise in the video.
Just did not understand...
Congratulations! Good message. IMpressive visuals. I think the metal and pace would help reach many of the people who ‘won’t come home’ who don’t like soft music. Painful sad in some respects, but true. So I forgot you’re one of those guys who can ‘do it all.’ Well done on vocals/keyboards/drums. Guitar was indeed great. All and all, I’m impressed. Congrats again.
Here they are:
I’m the guy, in the sky
I know everything you do
Deify Satan’s lies
And you’ll worship only you
Glorify Lord Of the Flies
You will end up in a hole
Once alive, now you cry
Time to reap what you have sown
Worship everyone but me
Manifest your destiny
Turn your back you made the call
Now it’s time for you to fall
Bigger house and bigger car
Happiness is still so far
You would have your peace of mind
If you just came home
I’m the guy in the sky
And it breaks my heart to see
Watching you from on high
Hoping you’ll come back to me
Feel the wind rushing by, like the hours in your life
Worship sin, say goodbye
Angel crashing from the heights
Caught in never ending war
Swimming towards an empty shore
Blinded by the Devil’s lies
You are never satisfied
Bigger house and bigger car
Living like a movie star
You would have your peace of mind
If you just came home
I’m the guy in the sky
And it breaks my heart to see
What’s become of everyone
Who has turned their backs on me
Acting like they are God
Makes this world torn and scarred
Blinded by the things that shine
Turn their backs on the Divine
Desecrate accept your fate
You’ll be crushed under the weight
You could have your peace of mind if you just came home
Thanks! Glad you dug it!
