"Whether we search for them or not, our roots exist and they keep us standing, often we hardly notice.
They are the only thing that we will never leave us, whatever route we take, they push as forward, far away, towards the unknown, searching for new places, new souls, new sensations, but they also tie us to where our journey began.
No matter how long our journey will be, how many stops we will make, or how difficult the road we choose to travel on, a part of us will always be right there, where we come from and where it all began"
After 5 years spent on tour all over Europe and US Roberto Diana come back with the last Chapter of his musical Saga "Raighes".

All the big cities have a special charm, partly due to their melting pot that you can listen, feel and taste everywhere. In this song, I tried to describe a long time spent in London.
Walk, take the tube and each station takes you to a different place of the world, with its smells, colours, faces and music. So, at each stop, you can meet a folk band, or bands playing Indian music, rock music and more. This song is a walk around London, stop after stop.
lyrics
Le grandi città hanno tutte un fascino particolare, in parte dovuto alla multiculturalità che si respira, si ascolta e si può vivere. In questo brano ho cercato di raccontare un periodo speso a Londra.
Cammini, prendi la metropolitana ed ogni stazione ti porta in un luogo nuovo del mondo, con i suoi profumi, i colori, le facce e la musica.
Così ad ogni fermata puoi incontrare una folk band, un gruppo che suona musica indiana, rock e tanto altro. Questo brano è una passeggiata per Londra, fermata dopo fermata.
