At the ninth month of this 2023 sees the light "Chains Of Sadness" that makes use of the valuable contribution of Eli Lev, Israeli videomaker. It is a song that wants to make people hear, not just think, the drama and the absurdity of war. The spiral of violence and devastation that we witness every day comes from a sacrifice celebrated on the wrong altar: that of power. Whenever, in our conscience, we sacrifice our humanity in exchange for what is not life, we trigger the fuse of a new massacre.
"Chains Of Sadness" is the result of a great and generous teamwork; I sincerely thank all the friends who have contributed to the work by dedicating time, energy and art to it:

- Jennifer Timbang for help with pronunciation;
- Francesco Pellegrini (Walls Of Babylon) for the magnificent guitar solo in the central part of the piece;
