I want to give you A killer sound
 Before the time will waste it all We look so nervous
 We feel so numb Tell me, how did we get to this? If there is logic 
In our mistakes 
A higher plan I cannot see, I’ll keep my head And bear the pain It’s something I‘m addicted to In a dream we'd change our names
 We'd learn the trick Rewind the tape
 But now I look Up to the sky 
It’s getting black Oh I wish you could see
 Take my love to the gates of another day (radio wave) Take me where the stars still got no name (radio wave)
 Guardo le antenne graffiare il cielo Rosso di luce alogena Oltre le ombre, ancora noi E quel che resta della vanità Nel sogno poi ci scambiamo i nomi Foto scattate che non vivrò Ricordi? Da quel vetro si vedeva Magritte Take my love to the gates of another day (radio wave) Take my love to the gates of another day (radio wave)
Take me where the stars still got no name (radio wave)
So come on send my voice up in the air (radio wave)
Sending out my voice into the air (radio wave)

lyrics

Flower-women in the doorway Ancient cups full of sand And french cards on the hardwood table We had big ideas in our minds There's much to learn, so much to discover yet Summer seems gone for good on the first rainy day Whirling leaves tell to go against the grain The voice of a child breaks the dusty dead silence The old frown, and in my heart I smile Surrender (astonishment) surrender (suburban sky) Surrender (chimney smoke) surrender (politeness theory) Surrender (ready-to-wear enigma) Surrender (washing machines) Surrender (insistence is futile, insistence is futile)

about

“I want to give you a killer sound, before the time will waste it all”, Eugene sings on the first verse. “Radiowave” is not a love song, neither an ode to retro-technology: it’s the search for a safe and inspirational place to be and for a method to evade oblivion.
The song features two important artists coming from the avant-garde pop music scene: the acknowledged father of italian new-wave Garbo along with Andy (co-founder of the MTV Award winning outfit Bluvertigo, besides being an acclaimed painter and visual artist), the first singing the italian verse of the song with his haunting and unique voice, the latter performing a dreamy and abstract saxophone solo. Radiowave is a pure electronic-pop anthem, a cool clash of energy and elegance.
Music video has been made with american video-art foundational artist and friend Gary Hill, who processed a live footage of Eugene singing the track through an early-70s analog videosynthesizer, generating hundreds of dancing green arabesques, deconstructing and re-composing Eugene’s face and surprisingly creating a futuristic vision without using computer-graphics at all.
Besides the main track’s radio edit, digital release also contains a special alternate version and three fab remixes by Plaster (industrial/EBM), Strobo (prog house) and UnicornTV vs Sixthclone (vaporwave), plus two brand new compositions (“Insistence is Futile” feat. experimental artist Kudu and “Intermission”).
