The embryo of the band was formed in June 1997 when Sergio Panarella and Luigi Rubino first started collecting ideas for the project that would later be known as Ashram. While undergoing the writing process of their first ever release, the duo invited Alfredo Notarloberti, the notorious napolitan violinist, to take their side in this ambitious project. With the line-up complete, the band recorded eleven songs out of which seven were selected and included on the demo "For My Sun", self-released in May'99. The remarkable energy and empathy between these musicians granted them an appearance as the opening track on Energeia's compilation “Intimations of Immortality Vol. 5” with the song "Spirit of the Rising Moon", and drew some media attention to this emmerging band. Shortly after, Ashram signs with the French label Prikosnovenie.
In 2001, the line-up is expanded as Leonardo Massa joins the group on cello, thus completing the ensemble that would participate in the recording of the critically acclaimed debut self-titled album released in the following year. This new release was followed by intense live activity, as the band performed innumerous shows in Italy and even a couple of tours in Portugal. In 2006 they've released their second full-length album "Shining Silver Skies".

Ashram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside of me,
Fragile bright eyes lost in your shine
Find out the smile,
Sometimes I find the quiet way
Inside of me,
So many times I wait for you
The lyrics of Ashram's song "Fairy Wind" talks about a search for something or someone who can bring joy and light into one's life. The opening phrase, "Horizon lives in any light breeze" suggests that hope can be found in even the smallest things or moments. The singer seems to be addressing someone they care for deeply, describing their eyes as "fragile bright" that are "lost in your shine" which could hint at the idea of them being lost in the love or the admiration of the person they are addressing. They seek to "Find out the smile" or find what makes this person happy.
The second verse appears to be more introspective with the line "Sometimes I find the quiet way, inside of me" suggesting moments of deep reflection or introspection. This might be a way to escape the external noise or to find clarity of thought. The singer seems to be waiting for the person they care for, someone who they see as a symbol of hope, hence the phrase "So many times I wait for you, Fairy Wind". The term "fairy wind" might suggest a fleeting, delicate and almost magical presence that brings hope and joy, that they are waiting for.
