  • Closer Than You Think (Moonstone)

    Hi Crazy W
    Glenn wrote the "Closer..." song for my 2nd Moonstone album...
    He wrote it in front of me on acoustic guitar and piano....it's a classic GH song I think....
    I recorded him singing and playing acoustic gtr on my laptop, then I went back home and arranged the song adding basic band parts as drums, bass, gtrs, keys and writing my 1st string quartet arrangement! :)
    It's been a great experience....and yeah it could be a FUNK outtake!
    Isn't it Glenn?? :)

  • Moonstone Project News

    Hi guys!
    Here are some news about my Moonstone Project....
    ciao!

    Some news regarding Matt Filippini's Moonstone Project

    "Hidden In Time" is going to be released in May 2008 on Mausoleum Records; it's not a brand new studio album but a revamped reissue of the debut album, originally released as "Time To Take A Stand" back in 2006.

    That new enanched edition, with a new title, will also feature a brand new artwork by Rainer Kalwitz, already known for his works for Century Media, Metal Blade, Frontiers & more. And a part of 9 tracks featuring guests like Graham Bonnet, Carmine Appice, Steve Walsh, Eric Bloom, Tony Franklin and more, the new release features three bonus tracks featuring Deep Purple men Ian Paice and Glenn Hughes! (Note: The bonus track with Glenn is a piano & voice version of "Where Do You Hide The Blues You Got"....will post a sample on my MySpace page soon)

    Matt says:" It's useless to hide what happened with my old management and old record company. They both contributed to fuck all the things about my 1st album...so it didn't get the right exposure I think it would deserve! Not to speak about the huge loss of money I had for their faults! And it's a pity cuz everyday lotsa guys write me to ask where to find the album... Luckily enough my new management did believe in the project and the chance to re-release it again with a brand new package and bonus material. And here it is…while waiting for the new studio album release!"

    About the new studio album, yet untitled, Matt is working with his buddy and co-producer Ale Del Vecchio on the final sessions before to start the mix process in June. All the guests taking part and more details to be announced soon. The release is scheduled for winter 2008.

  • Moonstone Project, Fano, Italy Pix & Clips

    Hi Wolfy!
    I had 3 friends of mine @ the Fano show shooting...but they're not professionals..just 3 friends filming...
    I edited the video myself adding a soundboard audio.
    That's it ;)
    I sent the video to David cuz i think it's pretty good, isn't it?
    I'm busy @ the time but maybe one day i will work again to edit more songs...
    Ciao

  • Moonstone Project Lyrics

    Hi Angel!
    Here're the lyrics....hope you enjoy the album too ;)

    Rose In Hell
    I Need Time To Understand My Whole Life
    And In A While You Gotta Think All The World Is Mine
    Did I Hurt You Bad?
    And Do You Think I'm Mad?

    I Need Time....Time!
    No One’s To Blame
    ‘Cause...
    When The Time Is Over
    No Place To Recover
    ...No Place To Recover

    When Something's In My Hands
    It's Just Like A Rose In Hell
    Never Try To Follow Me...
    Welcome To My Enemy
    I'm Glad To Hear You're Back

    Chorus:
    A Memory That You Can't Recall
    Or Just The Madness That’s Inside My Head
    Sensations Deep In My Soul
    But I Feel The Madness Screws Me Dead
    I Need Time To Make My Stand...Or Say Goodbye
    Please Stop Your Cryin’... A Man Should Stay Alone Sometimes....
    ‘Cause When The Time Is Over
    No Place To Recover....
    When Something In My Hands
    It's Just Like A Rose In Hell
    Never Try To Follow Me...
    Welcome To My Enemy
    I'm Glad To Hear You're Back

    Chorus:
    A Memory That You Can't Recall
    Or Just The Madness Inside My Head
    Sensations Deep In My Soul
    But I Feel The Madness Screws Me Dead

    Where Do You Hide The Blues You’ve Got
    If Friends Are Useless I Prefer To Walk On My Own...
    But If They’re So Precious I Would Have One In Each Part Of The World
    They Show You Life Or Death But They’re Useless and it’s all or nothing
    If They Can Breathe Now...So Why Don’t You Help Them?
    It’s Inside Of Me...It Can’t Be Hidden By Time
    A Painful Childbirth...I Taught Him How To Fly
    Once I Had A Friend, He Taught Me How To Think
    Not Just Talk, You Gotta Think Too
    You Keep On Shoutin’ Until You Make People Deaf An’ Dumb
    Stop Your Runnin’, There’s Another Way To Fall In Love

    Chorus:
    Where Do You Hide The Blues You’ve Got?
    I Don’t Know, I Really Don’t Know...
    Where Do You Hide The Blues You’ve Got?
    When I Was Young I Was Such A Fool
    Now It’s Too Late, Where Do You Run?
    I Just Can Lose As The Man I Am
    I Just Can Lose.....

    If Friends Are Useless I Prefer To Walk On My Own...
    But If They’re So Precious I Would Have One In Each Part Of The World
    They Show You Life Or Death They’re Useless and it’s all or nothing
    If They Just Love Why Don’t You Give’em Your Hand?
    Inside Of Me...It Can’t Be Hidden By Time
    A Painful Childbirth...I Taught Him How To Fly
    You Keep On Shoutin’ Until You Make People Deaf An’ Dumb
    Stop Your Runnin’, There’s Another Way To Fall In Love

    Chorus:
    Where Do You Hide The Blues You’ve Got?
    I Don’t Know, I Really Don’t Know...
    Where Do You Hide The Blues You’ve Got?
    When I Was Young I Was Such A Fool
    Now It’s Too Late, Where Do You Run?
    I Just Can Lose As The Man I Am
    I Just Can Lose.....
