Fine Before You Came
Sfortuna

It's like a dark room... The noises crash against you and you just have to stand there and let yourself be overwhelmed. Shards of latent solitude and sadness, shadows of autumnal melancholy flow from the melodies. Fine Before You Came, the hardcore, the indie, and the post rock. Their fourth album. S F O R T U N A.  They even write it in capital letters with some distance between the letters... s f o r t u n a. A feeling that persists in all the lyrics, sorrowful and screaming, the first time they sing entirely in Italian. Words that are from a novel of bitterness...

"This time tell me things you don't want just those you don't want make a list of the things you don't want".... we were getting lost and I thought of giving you this... a guide for your choices last chance to tell you something, then I was lulled by your no... meanwhile, around here there’s nothing but darkness. I focus on a detail and everything becomes clear, I see our end...only a small part of me answers the call but you don't hear it... then the next day waking up and discovering that the bar where we used to have breakfast has changed management. I gave your toothbrush to a poor man without a hand and when I go to the sea I no longer listen to the song you liked so much... I don't even remember your number anymore. By now you no longer have any weight. And I always did the opposite of what I should have done you say, and now that everything seems fine I'm missing and you're missing... do you remember how you slept when I played video games? That at Christmas you left me alone to see your parents... and today that it's a beautiful day you come back to my mind beautiful as you are. Light of my eyes. That deep down I never stopped thinking of you and now that I look back into your eyes. to spit tears into your eyes stones fall from a cotton sky. But I don't feel safe even if I cover my face while I stay here, in the shadow of your smile. If you want wait for me elsewhere where the sun sets, because the city is small and the journey uncertain and time never passes. And even you never pass. In the meantime, it gets hotter and hotter sirens come through the windows sweat comes out of the taps and you dressed in green are elsewhere. Or you are a closing circle. Then I stop thinking and realize that I've definitively lost you. Walking in circles for hours and hours without ever looking up to admit being afraid. And I kept calling my failures misfortune. Damn S F O R T U N A.
