Rating: Elisa has reached her fifth album and with this one, she gives her best, gifting us 10 gems meant (I hope) for the rest of the world... the internationality of these songs is also due to the presence of Glen Ballard as producer and co-author, who has worked with Alanis Morissette in the past and recently with Anastacia.
I should mention that in this album, there are no songs that overshadow others, they are all beautiful. Some have a harder sound, like the single "Together", while others are chilling ballads like "City Lights" (listen to it alone in the dark of your room, and at the chorus, a tear will surely fall).
This time I can only say: "Elisa is Elisa", she has acquired such artistic maturity and identity that I can no longer compare her to Morissette or Björk.
I recommend this album because it's worth investing 20 euros for a CD that exudes emotions from every single track and will certainly keep you company for a very, very long time.
PS: The cover you see is just one of the 10 included as a booklet. Remember to buy original CDs, guys!
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Together (04:22)
Together, here we are, boy and girl walk alone
Together moving like clouds
Together billions the soldiers of love in the dark
Together till one will see the light
All the way alone, alone, alone, alone
But together we’ll always want to be
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you?
Together the bullets fly just like birds in the sky
Together we’re both paralyzed
Together drop by drop one by one til’ water falls
If it’s a game we’re supposed to know we’re playing
How come some don’t know?
Don’t know? Don’t know? Don’t know?
And together is all they need to be
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich of your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich of your money and decide for it all?
Do you?
Together here we are, boy and girl walk alone
Together moving like clouds
(together, together, together, together)
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you wanna keep safe and keep control
And stay rich with your money and decide for it all?
Do you?

04 Joy (03:27)
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
We’ll walk all the way down this road
We’ll hold each other’s hands
We’ll watch all the colours and their fades
And sometimes we’ll swallow discomfort
to be happy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
(Love is all, all we want)
For a while we’ll stay in the warmth
Then as we know it’ll snow
So we’ll dream and we’ll rest face to face
And sometimes we’ll stay there in silence
Like we never spoke
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
(Love is all, all we want)
I can shine like the Sun
if you’ll be the only one waterfall
Where my light will shine on
(A shower of pure joy…)
I can shine like the Sun
if you’ll be the only one waterfall
Where my light will shine on
Pure joy
A shower of
pure joy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
(Love is all, all we want)
‘cause I can shine like the sun
if you’ll be the only one waterfall
where my light will shine on
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of joy
A shower of pure joy
A shower of pure joy
07 In the Green (04:52)
Just like Queens, the leaves move gently
As their shadows obey with natural synchronism
Would they mind me? If they knew that I’m here watching
And I am wishing I could dance like them…
They surrender to the strong light changing their colours with the heat
And I certainly don’t know where I am, but I know where I want to be
And they’re saying
Everything follows everything
Guess I’m trying to believe
Everything follows
I’m trying and someone’s singing to me now…
Close to me, no matter how much time we can spend apart
We’re still together like we’re one
Just like leaves, we will take our chance to fly
And we’ll learn not to fear the ground by falling down
Another day to fill up somewhere floating on the line of time
I blow a little wish in my hand, sending it back to the sky
And they’re saying
Everything follows everything
Guess I’m trynna believe
Everything follows
I’m trying and someone’s singing to me now
And I will be with you again
And I will be with you again
And I…
They’re saying
Everything follows everything
I’m trying to believe
Everything follows
I’m trying and someone’s singing to me now…
Everything follows
I’m trying, trying to believe
That everything follows
Everything, someone’s singing to me
And I will be with you again
And I will be with you again
09 The Waves (04:10)
I'll get away, get in the car
I'll reach the shore before sunrise
And I'll watch the moon and stars
I'll tell them everything about us
I left last night
I reached the shore
Trying to find everything I lost
In a thousand waves
A million waves
Still, somewhere I am sure
That I will see your face
I will see you there
Morning sun
Before you will rise
Before you'll come and shine again on us
Let me find, let me find, let me find
Some comfort in the night
Cause I don't mind what I've lost
I've reached the shore
And nothing ever changed
In a thousand waves
A million waves
Oh still I look for love
And all I see is your face
So I come back home to you
I bleed but I'm choosing you again
I'm done but I'm ready to begin

By enryka
"Once again, the little singer from Monfalcone has managed to enchant and mesmerize with her soothing voice, poetic lyrics written from the heart, and her great, indeed very great interpretation."
"'Together,' with its compelling chorus, becomes a clear warning message for the American people, who should protect themselves from the powerful oppressor Bush."
By e-bow
"Pearl Days is not the rock album one might have expected, but Elisa intended to return to the pop-rock of her origins with all the maturity and experience she has gained."
"The most impactful track is probably Joy, a song with a catchy refrain that seems to want to give the words the value of a mantra."
By hypnosphere boy1
An interim album, certainly poetic and intense, with openings to new insights but not yet focused on the new artistic direction.
Talent requires the test of time, and from 'Cure Me' and other hits enough years have passed.
