postcard from Milan 04:08 Songtext
von Oscar Anton

Hey guys, it′s Oscar
I hope you're doing well, wherever you are listening
Mmm, I just wanted to give you some news about what′s going on

And first, I'm good, I'm really good
I′m still making music in my bedroom
I still sleep less than six hours every night
And I′m, and I'm still single, so everything′s fine!

As some of you may know
Last year, I decided to release music every month from this bedroom
And even though it's been so hard, let′s be honest
I think I loved pushing myself to create as much as possible
And, I think I still wanna do this
But not exactly the same way
This time I want to change two things
First, I, I really need to get out of this bedroom
That's the main one
And two, I have to work with other people
So yeah, another challenge!


So this year I will travel and release one postcard
From a different country every month
These postcards will include one song
Made with an artist from the country I′m in
And one bonus, that you're listening to now
On which I'll talk about, you know
How the trip went, the food I ate, if I finally hooked up with someone or
You know, it could be anything!
I just, I just want to discover new music, new inspiration
You know, I still need to get better at making making music
So, I think that, you know, meeting other people could help, I think
Oh, and I′ll post some videos about the trips on my YouTube channel
So that I can take you with me

So this is the first one: Milan, Italy
It′s actually the first country outside of France
That, that was interested in my music
They play me a lot on radios
Which is crazy because, like, they still don't do it in France

I first met Federico
Because he made a remix of one of my songs
He then introduced me to VV
The three of us went to his studio
He sat in front of his computer
And VV and I sat on the sofa
I picked a guitar and we wrote that song: cheerios
Sometimes it can take like two months to write a song
But this time it took three hours
We even went to this music festival
At the end of the day cause we were, like, free
And ended up doing a little party in the studio after


Fede, VV, if you are listening
Thank you so much for having me
I had so much fun, guys

The rest of the trip was great
I went back to VV′s house to finish some lyrics
I ate as much pasta as my body could take
I walked across the city at night
Listening to Immensita, by Andrea Laszlo de Simone
I've seen some really pretty girls, that I didn′t talk to
I took some pictures on film, because it looks cooler
I told myself that I was really lucky to be able to travel
And make music at the same time
I told myself that I was ready to write more songs

Again, thank you guys for listening to my music
I just wanna try so many different things
I wouldn't be able to do this without you
I promise that I′ll do my best
To make the best music I've ever made this year

I'll talk to you when I arrive in Berlin
Take care
Oscar
