2020 Songs in Review
2020 Songs in Review is a retrospective of new songs written and released during the Covid-19 pandemic by Lucia Comnes while based in Liguria, Italy.
The Thief – Lucia Comnes (the official music video)
The Thief was filmed in the charming location of Sestri Levante, Italy. Just north of the Cinque Terre, this quaint seaside town on the coast of Liguria is home to the Baia di Silenzio (Bay of Silence), not far from where I spent the lockdown in Italy. It is a healing song about coming to terms with one’s past. It’s a song about confronting the remaining beliefs, stories and patterns leftover from childhood so that one might live the present more fully. The track can be downloaded on Bandcamp.
Only WE Can Save Us Now – Lucia Comnes (the official music video)
Only WE Can Save Us Now is a response to police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in the USA which have been triggers activating the people most impacted by already existing deeply rooted systemic issues in American society that rob us of our humanity – ALL of us. The street protests that followed, both peaceful and violent, are testimony to these problems that have still not been resolved after so many generations of struggle. The song was co-written with two other American songwriters based in Nashville TN, and we believe the song speaks for itself. The video was directed and edited by Oakland-based filmmaker Barry Stone, with significant contributions from award-winning documentary filmmaker David L. Brown. A special thanks to my vocal coach and musical mentor, Raz Kennedy. The track can be downloaded on Bandcamp.
THE HILLS OF LIGURIA – by Lucia Comnes (the official music video)
THE HILLS OF LIGURA is a single released during the coronavirus outbreak written by Lucia Comnes and Richard Mitchell (Nashville, TN). The video was shot in the Liguria region of Northern Italy during the 3 months of national lockdown where Lucia was staying as a guest and is meant as a window into the experience of quarantine. For 2.5 months, Italians were not allowed to go more than 200meters from their place of residence. The track can be downloaded on Bandcamp.
I’M WITH YOU – by Lucia Comnes (the official music video)
I’M WITH YOU is the hit single off of Lucia’s new album Held in the Arms and it is a song about friendship between women, written by Lucia Comnes and Gawain Mathews. The video was shot at the restaurant La Lampara in Passoscuro, near Rome, Italy. It was produced and directed by Rebel Rabbits and debuted on TGCom24 in Italy in March 2018. The song has been played on Radio 2 and many other Italian radio stations and Lucia was interviewed on the TV channel RaiNews24 as soon as the music video was released.
MUSIC IS LOVE – music from one heart
MUSIC IS LOVE is an international collaboration produced by Italian bluesman, Claudio Maffei, during the coronavirus outbreak of 2020 that brings together artists from Italy, USA, Germany, Ireland and Croatia. We released this song and video into the world shortly after the murder of American, George Floyd, in a time of great difficulty, fear and division threaten our communities. The music and lyrics of this song, written by David Crosby, Graham Nash and Neil Young in 1971, speak for themselves. We offer this collaboration as a message that the power of music to unite people in our shared human experience is more important than ever.
