    Where I Belong is Luca Chiappara's first solo record, a tribute to the American Traditional Music in its different shapes and variety. In this record you can hear a sincere tribute to either the Mississippi Blues or the Nashville Country, the Appalachian Bluegrass or the New Orleans' Jazz tradition. And yet it's open to new influences and a more modern attitude. They call it New Retro, as he says "that's just Where I Belong".

    CD comes in a special 6 page digifile plastic free case!

All I've Got 02:21
I see bottles at the liquor store, But they now charge a lil’ more I’s sure I had a twenty But guess what? There's just a hole All I've got, nothing it's all I've got How 'bout a drink for your story says the man who’s passing by I’d trade a dollar for my secrets If you swear it’s not a lie That’s all I’ve got, dues it’s all I’ve got Sure there ain’t no use for me To keep on working hard When my honey gives me sugar And there’s nothing more I’d long That’s all I’ve got, my baby it’s all I’ve got (now he goes) You know that on Rampart Street Where Willie’s busy selling gin, I’m sure you heard the song, People kill for what you own That’s all I’ve got, running it’s all I’ve got Running it's all I've got, running it's all I've got

Today you woke me up sayin’ you were leaving Yet I’m still laying down on this floor Where we made the love that you don't love anymore Today you sent me back where I belong And I am fair to my heart and now I know you can be too But I am still pretending to think I can be free From the moment you sent me back where I belong I’m blinded by the tears that are falling from my eyes This morning is the first time I realise That our love faded away a long long time ago And today you sent me back where I belong And I am fair to my heart and now I know you can be too But I’m still pretending to think I can be free From the moment you sent me back where I belong And I am fair to my heart and now I know you can be too But I’m still pretending to think I can be free From the moment you sent me back where I belong Since today you sent me back where I belong

I Wish 02:35
I wish you were the light that brightens the dark When I feel lonely and nobody’s around I wish you were the poem I wasn’t told That’s always there when I’m feeling low I wish my horse would make me a charming prince And no proud king was standing in between I wish I were the only man you want Not the princess that won't be my queen I wish your choices weren’t always this right Knowing what to do every day and night I wish I were your very first mistake Not the one I’m sure you’ll never make I wish my horse would make me a charming prince And no proud king was standing in between I wish I were the only man you want Not the princess that won't be my queen I wish you were as brave as Noah’s dove Spreading wings, heading toward the unknown I wish I were the bench where you could rest Where you could take the load off your chest I wish my horse would make me a charming prince And no proud king was standing in between I wish I were the only man you want Not the princess that won't be my queen Not the princess that won't be my queen Not the princess that won't be my queen

You say I don't love you ‘Cause I stay out late at night You say I don't love you ‘cause I don't treat you right I’m a stone cold hearted boy Yet I love you no less I’m a stone cold hearted boy Yet I love you no less It’ll be easier for you To find another man It’ll be easier for you That’s what I deserve You say I don't love you ‘cause I don’t listen to what ya sayin’ You say I don't love you It’s sad, I know, this is my way I promise I will make it up to you I promise I will be a better man I promise I will make it up to you I promise I will be a better man It’ll be easy for you if you found another man It’ll be easy for you That’s what I deserve You say I don't love you When I smile at someone else You say I don't love you When I’m fighting with myself I’m a stone cold hearted boy Yet I love you no less I promise I will make it up to you I promise I will be a better man

It's a lesson too late for the learning Made of sand, made of sand In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin' In your hand, in your hand Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well, I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind You've got reason a plenty for goin' This I know, this I know For the weeds have been steadily growin' Please don't go, please don't go Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well, I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind As I lie in my bed in the mornin' Without you, without you. Every song in my breast lies a bornin' Without you, without you. Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well, I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind You know that was the last thing on my mind That was the last thing on my mind

Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole N'aria serena dopo na tempesta Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole 'O sole mio Sta 'nfronte a te Ma n'atu sole Cchiu' bello, oi ne' 'O sole, 'o sole mio Sta 'nfronte a te, Sta 'nfronte a te Just like a willow, we would cry an ocean If we lost true love and sweet devotion Your lips excite me, let your arms invite me For who knows when we'll meet again this way It's now or never, come hold me tight Kiss me my darling, be mine tonight Tomorrow will be too late It's now, my love won't wait

My sweetheart has gone and I'm so lonely She said that she and I were through So I started out drinkin' for past time Drivin' nails in my coffin over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Everytime I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Lord, drivin' those nails over you Ever since the day that we've parted I've been so sad and so blue I'm always thinking of you, love And I just can't quit drinking that old booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Everytime I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Lord, drivin' those nails over you Now you've turned me down , you don't want me There's nothing now I can lose I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin And worryin', my darlin', over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Everytime I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Lord, drivin' those nails over you

I remember the first time I saw you, It was a hot august night You were wearing that Japanese dress I like And it all felt alright I remember you danced like a swallow feather, Swirling in the summer breeze, Every moment you were around, honey Was the moment I was losing myself And here we are, In a hotel room And you’re laying down here, Don’t turn your back on me People were partying around us I felt jealous of their happiness I just wanted to hold your hand in mine But our secret couldn’t be seen I remember your words of wisdom, While telling me that we were through You said, there’s no use in ending a story, If the story never began And here we are Walking side by side The breeze is whistling Don’t turn your back on me I swore I didn’t want to see you again That this love was too much for me I don’t remember your name, but I remember the shame Of the sound of that fare thee well Well, we haven’t talked ever since But I swear I saw you a lot of times I saw you once in the crowd in Paris I saw you once on the beach in Spain And here we are I got a picture of you It’s been a long time Since you turned your back on me Goodbye my lover Goodnight to you Goodbye my sweetheart I hope this song will reach out to you

about

Conceptually divided in two sides - like a 33rpm record would be - the album features a first pop-oriented selection that slowly fades into a more acoustic identity. In this record you can hear a sincere tribute to either the Mississippi Blues or the Nashville Country, the Appalachian Bluegrass or the 60s Beat.
Recorded on tape with 50s era RCA microphones at
Retro Recording Service Studio in Milan (Italy), "Where I Belong" is out on May 9, 2022.
