The Band

Paolo
played the Drums on the Tracks with upCEDown and spent the 1st year playing all the gigs. Unfortunatly commitments with a big Italian star took him away. His Solid Rock Blues foundation was sorely missed...

Matteo
from Avezzano has also played drums with the Band. Solid and attentive, Matteo like many other musicians, is involved in various projects. With an eclectic musical background, he creates the strong rhythmical foundations and adapts to the ever-changing style of the band.

Vincenzo
comes from Sicily and plays the guitar. Full of feel and the ladies' favourite, He is growing in confidence and is one of those few guitarists that has respect for the music and can take his moment when required.
Vincenzo also writes music and is in the process of collaborating with Ced on future creations.

Tim comes from New York and plays the bass. He is an accomplished musician who has a wealth of experience that cannot be bought.
Full of energy and always carrying the groove, he has the sensitivity and respect towards the music that makes a great technical player an awesome bassist

UPCEDOWN is performing material from the Album Egodysentery and also some of Ced's new songs.
The Band allows Ced to share his eclectic material with the audience.
Sometimes playing the Didgeridoo or the Ocarina, at other times just singing or creating silence... The concert is always a trip!

P
.E

I
'm not sleeping, 'cause my ghosts are out tonight
And I'm not leaving 'cause I caught myself in sight
Gentle murder and my veins are pumping black
Black shot eyes, see truth out of the facts.
As you can see,
I can't go back, can't go back
I'm not dying, 'cause the curse ain't over yet
And I'm not trying, just trying to forget
Desperate docile and deranged, the label not so strange.
Indecision, protection from forbidden change
As you can see,It's all arranged, all arranged



Peace of mind

Realize that it must hide
So it can grow to be real strong
Fantasize, about the hope
That it can live beneath the skin
And the serpent coils itself into a ring


Chorus
Every clear sky has a storm
Every straight line has a curve
Making sure that you are warned
Making sure that you are first
Every looser has his day
Every winner is a slave
Making sure that you are next
Cursing all you need to stretch


indicate your need to breathe
And your obsession is to live
Concentrate a weary sigh
My fascination is to die
And you curse my fate but I still have to try

(Chorus)


Destiny is an avenging word
When the truth you face is too absurd
And peace of mind is out of reach
You turn wishes into nightmares
With the future and the past caught in your hair
And peace of mind is out of reach
And the magic wand always tries to teac

(Chorus)

And Every looser
And every winner
Every Soldier
And every saint
And every Lover
Every fighter
And everyone
Always looking for your peace of mind




JOKES

CATAPULT INTO YOUR HEAD A LITTLE DESPERATION
DECIMATE WHAT YOU CAN’T HAVE AND SEARCH FOR INSPIRATION
RELOCATE INTO THE FUTURE, DILAPIDATE WITH PAPER STONES
CONTEMPLATE YOUR SURROUNDING WITH SENSITIVITY
THESE ARE THE JOKES LIFE PLAYS ON ME

Chorus

YOU MUST BE SICK SO YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE BETTER
YOU MUST BE NORMAL SO YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE STRANGE
YOU MUST BE POOR SO YOU CAN FEEL A LITTLE RICHER
YOU MUST BE DEAD SO YOU CAN FEEL ALIVE AGAIN


COMMUNICATE YOUR ENDLESS NEED FOR EMANCIPATION
DISTRIBUTE YOUR TREASURED KEY AN OPEN DISSERTATION
YOU COUNT THE STEPS TO THE TOP OF VEGETABLE KINGDOM
DECORATE YOUR HAIRY BRAIN WITH SENSITIVITY
THESE ARE THE JOKES LIFE PLAYS ON ME

Chorus

CELEBRATE THE CONFRONTATION OF COMFORT AND OF PASSION
SOAKING UP TRANQUILITY PANIC WITHOUT RATION
