Mhmh, was she saying to the song Of the hay burning down fast, burning down fast Wanna be dead, beneath the ground I wanna be dead Ride along, in the darkness to the song From the haye burning down fast Cuz of the haye, lit up a spark right into my brain Riding home, in the darkness to the song From the brain that sparked so fast, to make it last Could it be dead? The lion’s roar has got to be there Lion’s roar Gotta be there Got to be there Cuz of the haye, lit up a spark or two in my brain Cuz of the haye, lit up a spark or two in my brain Cuz of the haye, lit up a spark or two in my brain

Hey my child how do you do Fading feast, how much we needed you Holy night upon the saving grace Who divides, to bring the son back in I don’t know, I thought I knew To evade and fall for someone new Hazy eyed so quietly we shared Love at last while in the the grey it hails I came to realise That a grind sure will set off the mindful- Ness, the stories are such a mess but it’s Time to tell them one by one

Lex The Great 02:39
lyrics

«Lex The Great», the new single of Blind Boy De Vita, is soulful, earthy and groovy. Led by a lead vocal so sensual, the backing vocal choir can’t help itself and responds blushing in falsetto. Eventually turning to hysterical moans by the time you’ve made it to the end. It depicts a Belarusian healer. Who, for a time, was curing Blind Boy De Vita’s various friends and family members of their illnesses and tortured aches. Turns out he was just an old school chiropractor beating them up. Making their tense bodies feel calm and relaxed. It goes to show you that money spent on wellbeing is well being spent!

about

New look, new sound, new stories: Blind Boy De Vita has journeyed through many changes the last few months. The result is the album «La Zattera» (Italian for raft) composed of two EPs. The first one bears the name «Ship Docking»
 
The EP and album title as symbols stand for traveling, but especially in the case of Blind Boy De Vita: Arriving. Usually during the past winters, he longed to get away. Last year for the first time it was not possible due to well-known circumstances. Like many people in the world, the Italian-Swiss artist was stuck in his own country. Nevertheless he made use of the situation. After an intense phase of self-confrontation, he conjured up stories as well as reflections that had accumulated and further developed Blind Boy De Vita while working on the album «Zattera».
 
The prologue of this new record is the EP «Ship Docking»: On these four tracks Blind Boy De Vita addresses stories from his closest family circle. He sings about obscure healers or conveys insights on topics such as perseverance and bipolarity. The music is experimental, psychedelic and funky. It is influenced by the blues, African and folk music. Recorded in his bedroom studio, the musician composed and produced it all by himself. Only the mix was entrusted upon his close friend Richard Edwards who has also worked for The Kinks, Brian May and Steve Howe.
 
Blind Boy De Vita’s new sound is characterized by putting greater emphasis on vocal arrangements and harmonies. He has broadened the sound palate by including more electric instruments whereas the first album was mostly acoustic. There are however once again numerous musical experiments such as a contact microphone placed on the throat to record a beat, virtuoso fingerpicking parts, falsetto vocals and the use of varying «exotic» instruments from dobro guitar to the calabash drum. 
 
And then there is a new look! In contrast to previous times Blind Boy De Vita appears even more colorful, fun-loving and authentic. This splash of life and color is evident in the magnificent social media and press images. These images were taken in the musician's homeland: the south of Italy. «La vita è bella» Blind Boy De Vita often likes to say in such moments – and heralds the first part of his dilogy «Zattera» with the EP «Ship Docking».
