There was an almost religious silence in the small underground club. Lara stood there musically naked with nothing more than an acoustic guitar to dress her song. Stunning Someone asked: “Where in the Hell is She From ???”
In 2001 the young singer-songwriter brought her band from Rome, Italy to record her album “Orchidea Porpora”, an album that quickly gained vast attention from both press and audience. The album was recorded entirely at Atlanta's 'temple of rock music,' Southern Tracks. Songs such as “Nebulosa”, “Ode a Renoir”, “Il mare in fondo al mare”, “Vittima della stagione”, “Sky”, and “Ofelia” are treasures of the most emotional and intimate rock. "Orchidea Porpora" is a very dense tracklist which alternates between turbulence and whispers, but never loses it's strong sentimental force. But now we move forward...

February 2006 Lara is currently working on her third new release. Together with her long time friend and bassist Francesco Aliotta, Lara is venting her most creative vein and taking a musical path through a much softer field. The new record “Cerridwen” will explore more lush and charming atmosheres, but most importantly it will finally showcase Lara’s voice in all its beauty. It will be out September 2007 with Midfinger.

May 2007: Release EP "Stupid Desire" with Midfinger - Unconventional Label. Available from the label web site only from the 20 of May.

Lara Martelli Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Che confusione c'è
Non sono io romantica quando
Non parlo e
Posso sorridere

Sembrare gelida
Soltanto all'apparenza
Aria che mi divora

Aria che mi trascina… oh…

Non chiedermi mai
Com'era prima nella mia
Memoria com'era prima lui
La pioggia estiva non sarà
Più la stessa mai… mai.

Che sogno strano è
Pianeti dilatati nei miei
Occhi spenti
Aria che mi divora
Aria che mi trascina… oh…

Non chiedermi mai
Com'era prima nella mia
Memoria com'era prima lui
Lui la pioggia estiva
Non sarà più la stessa
Mai… mai… mai.

Sky… sky… sky… sky…
Com'è volare… com'è volare Sky?
Com'è volare… com'è volare Sky…
Com'è volare… com'è volare Sky…

Com'è volare… com'è volare…
Com'è volare

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lara Martelli's song "Sky" evoke a sense of confusion, as the singer struggles to articulate her emotions and reconcile them with her outward presentation. She suggests that she may not always appear romantic or expressive, but this does not mean that she doesn't experience intense emotions. The imagery of the song is centered around air, specifically the sensation of being consumed and carried away by it. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for being caught up in one's feelings and swept away by passion or desire.

The second half of the song introduces a dreamlike quality, as the singer describes expanses of planets within her eyes and a sky that seems to take her away. The refrain repeats the word "Sky" several times, as if to emphasize this sense of transcendence or escape. While the verses are somewhat melancholic, this repetition suggests that the singer may find solace or release in these intangible elements of the world around her.
