The embry… Read Full Bio ↴Ashram is a neoclassical darkwave band from Naples, Italy.
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".
For each and every Child
Ashram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can fly in the Universe...
A breath of joy will colour the night,
Of rainbow's light for each child.
But what would happen...
And what will happen in the morning's eyes
When the world will be
And all the stars will see our stupid madness ?
If a sound of life inside me,
Can fly in the Universe...
The sound of my voice can relieve sorrow
For each life,
For each and every child.
The lyrics to Ashram's song For each and every Child speak of the power of sound and the importance of uplifting and sustaining life, particularly for children. The first lines suggest something miraculous and elemental – the idea that the sound of life might take flight into the infinite reaches of the universe. The following line describes the power of this sound to create something vibrant and beautiful: a rainbow of light that can bring joy and color to the night. The repeated emphasis on "each child" reinforces the idea that children are especially deserving of this kind of beauty and wonder.
Despite this optimism, the song also expresses a sense of urgency and concern. The question posed in the second stanza – "what will happen in the morning's eyes / when the world will be dead?" – suggests an acknowledgment of global peril, and the fear that human activity may bring about irreversible damage to our planet. The song thus presents two contrasting visions – one of possibility and hope, the other of death and destruction – and asks the listener to consider which future is more desirable, and how we might work towards achieving it.

If a sound of life inside of me,
Can fly in the Universe...
The power of my innermost being has the potential to reach far and wide.
A breath of joy will colour the night,
Of rainbow's light for each child.
Happiness and positivity will spread throughout the world, bringing hope to every child.
But what would happen...
And what will happen in the morning's eyes
When the world will be
Dead
And all the stars will see our stupid madness ?
What will become of our world if we continue on our destructive path, and how will we be judged by those who come after us?
The sound of my voice can relieve sorrow
For each life,
For each and every child.
Although the problems of the world may seem insurmountable, each individual has the power to make a difference and bring comfort to those in need.
