The wonderful Martha Rossi, our former Italian Scaramouche, has just released a new single called “Distante”.
Martha has asked us to share with BrianMay.com readers. If you like it, please also share.
This is a song to mark her 10th anniversary since her debut on TV and in the music business (and almost 8 years since her first role in WWRY Italy) and this song is very personal and she dedicates this to all the people who never give up and are back on their feet after all the struggles they have been through.
This is the video – Enjoy!

DISTANT (FAR AWAY)
Explain to me why
We are light years away and I can’t tear
your words which like slivers of voice
are nailed down in the heart
What do you know about stars?
when they try to fill the universe
that makes them look like tiny sparks.
Just like us, lost i
n their eternal dance
where time challenges space
I look at you my love
you are distant
and now I am chasing you through people’s thoughts
I will make my way with a heart of someone who never gives up
What you left is not always lost
you can almost always fix it,
you are the solution
you are my constant feature,
if I should expose your wounds again
Will you forgive me?
What I lost
It’s worth all the rest, now it is wonderful,
wonderful
to touch gently every memory
it’s wonderfully, wonderful to dream for a second.
Explain to me why
We are lonely souls that are incomplete when alone
perhaps you don’t know
that your wings are not broken but they are only closed.
Do you know how to take a deep breath and then fly away,
hold your fears hoping not to fall
when it would be too easy to stop and give up?
I desperately ask you
to come back my love,
you are distant
And now I am chasing you through people’s thoughts
I will make my way with a heart of someone who never gives up
What you left is not always lost
you can almost always fix it,
you are the solution
you are my constant feature,
if I should expose your wounds again
Will you forgive me?
What I lost
It’s worth all the rest, now it is wonderful,
wonderful
to feel you still beside me
it’s wonderful, wonderful
to know I did not lose you,
it’s wonderful, wonderful
to have you back for a moment
but you are distant
and now I am chasing you through people’s thoughts
I will make my way with a heart of someone who never gives up
What you left is not always lost
you can almost always fix it, you are the solution
you are my constant feature,
if I should expose your wounds again
Will you forgive me?
What I lost It’s worth all the rest, now it is wonderful,
wonderful
to feel you still beside me
it’s wonderful, wonderful
to know I did not lose you,
it’s wonderful, wonderful
to have you back for a moment
