Their soulfully crafted combination of rock, progressive rock, art rock, fusion, world music and other styles illustrates the band’s unique liberal and eclectic music vision.
Aisles have been regarded as Neo-Prog, but their approach to music goes far beyond that while creating a very powerful and unique type of music and sound.
In 2003 the band produced a demo with the goal of publishing their music. Having achieved such a high quality of sound and powerful compositions they decided to use it as their first record. In 2005 “The Yearning” was born and consequently published and distributed in Europe, the United States and Japan.
In 2007 the seeds of the album “In Sudden Walks” were sown. This self-produced album was in works for over a year, while the band perfected their music and sound alongside internationally recognized technicians.
Once again, the quality of both the music and the production of “In Sudden Walks” caught the attention of the music press. AISLES were nominated for the Prog Awards (Italy) in the Best Foreign Record category, no mean achievement given the strong history of Italy’s progressive music.
In addition the band were invited to France to open the 11th Progressive Rock Festival CRESCENDO in August 2009, and were a huge hit with the audience, consolidating their place on the international music scene.
Aisles were formed to serve as a constantly evolving vehicle of expression maintaining an unmistakably unique identity. Allowing creativity to prevail above all else fuels the band’s desire to create.
Aisles third album will be released through their own label Presagio Records.

Upside Down
Aisles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the sun I’ll face the sky and sing to you, burn with you
So, fire can turn me on
Like the stars I’ll heat my core and make you scream, bend your soul
We can dance and drink and carry on
Come and see this world is upside down
Like the sun we’ll face the sky and spit our blood into the wind
So, we’ll take the weight off our hearts
Like the stars we’ll fill our hands with clay and quartz to build our homes
No, we’ll never betray our world
Piercing eyes prepared for war, our shield is love our love is sword
So, destroying archaic thoughts
Have no fear, nor guilt nor shame, that’s how we’re born, how we’re free
We can dream and dance and carry on
Come and see this world is upside down
Like the sun we’ll face the sky and die with it, die for good
Oh fire can turn me on
I released my own sacred world
Like the sun I’ll face the sky and sing to you, burn with you
We can dare and dream and carry on
Come and see this world is upside down
Sometimes we lose and sometimes we don’t
But always we go down
Sometimes we love and sometimes we don’t
But always we go down
Sometimes we fail, sometimes we don’t
But always we can try
Always we die and that’s all we know
Our lives burn like the stars
Some lives are good and some lives are not
But all of us go down
Some never smile, some never cry
And everyone goes down
Most only grieve and most only pray
But some learn how to fight
Some only take and some just destroy
Yet others still create
Some give their hearts and some are so bold
That they can turn any world upside down
The lyrics to Aisles's song "Upside Down" evoke a sense of rebellion and defiance against the norms and expectations of society. The song seems to be about breaking free from oppression and embracing a different, unconventional way of living.
The opening lines, "I released my own sacred world / Like the sun I'll face the sky and sing to you, burn with you," suggest that the singer is stepping away from societal constraints and embracing their own unique worldview. They are willing to defy conventional wisdom, symbolized by the burning sun, and express themselves freely. The imagery of fire and stars further reinforces this idea of transformation and freedom.
The chorus, "Come and see this world is upside down," implies that the singer wants others to join them in this rebellious journey. They invite others to challenge the status quo and explore a different perspective on life. The verses continue to emphasize this theme of independence and self-expression. The lines "No, we'll never betray our world / Piercing eyes prepared for war, our shield is love, our love is sword" suggest that the singer is ready to protect their beliefs and values, even if it means going against societal norms. They advocate for destroying outdated ideas and fearlessly embracing their own uniqueness.
Overall, "Upside Down" encourages listeners to question societal expectations and embrace their true selves, even if it means going against the grain. The song celebrates the freedom to dream, dance, and carry on, and promotes the idea that individuality and self-expression are essential for a fulfilling life.

Sometimes we lose and sometimes we don’t
Life brings both victories and defeats, sometimes we succeed and other times we fail
But always we go down
Regardless of the outcome, we all face hardships and challenges
Sometimes we love and sometimes we don’t
Love is not always present in our lives, we may experience periods of love and absence of love
But always we go down
Regardless of our emotional state, we all face hardships and challenges
Sometimes we fail, sometimes we don’t
Success and failure are part of life's journey, we may experience both
But always we can try
We should always strive to give our best, even in the face of failure
Always we die and that’s all we know
Death is a certainty in life, it is one of the few things we can truly count on
Our lives burn like the stars
Our lives are filled with intensity and passion, just like the burning stars in the sky
Some lives are good and some lives are not
Life experiences can vary, with some individuals leading fulfilling lives while others may struggle
But all of us go down
Regardless of our circumstances, we all face challenges and hardships
Some never smile, some never cry
People's emotional experiences can differ, with some never finding joy and others never expressing sadness
And everyone goes down
We all face struggles and difficulties at some point in our lives
Most only grieve and most only pray
Many people only mourn their losses and rely solely on prayers for solace
But some learn how to fight
However, a few individuals learn to battle and overcome their adversities
Some only take and some just destroy
Certain individuals only focus on self-interest and seek to harm others
Yet others still create
However, there are those who continue to bring something new into existence
Some give their hearts and some are so bold
Some individuals give their love wholeheartedly, while others possess the courage to take risks
That they can turn any world upside down
Their presence and actions have the power to completely transform any given situation or environment
