Here I'm strutting down the avenue
Not a bother on me, skies are blue
I got momentum and an attitude
Ain't nothing gonna change my mood
I'm alright, I am free
This song won't have a minor fall
Ain't no reason to go down at all
I'm just happy with the air I breathe
Everybody is a friend to me
I'm alright, I am free
Chorus
I'm going up, I'm gonna keep on rising
The sky's no limit when you shoot for the moon
This world around me is so mesmerising
Life is good
I'm triggering a state of mind
So exited about what I find
Got my rhythm and I got my groove
I can feel it in the way I move
I'm alive, I am free
Chorus
Life is good, it's good, life is good
You know it's good, it's good, life is good
You know it's good, it's great,
It's what you make of it
Chorus

Dino Soldo is an extraordinary musician and songwriter, who toured with Leonard Cohen, Ray Charles, Johnny Guitar Watson etc. This is his latest solo record and in my opinion his best up to date. Martin Praetorius
This is my favourite autumn record of all times. Beautiful melodies and heartbreaking lyrics, deliverd by a quite unique and soothing voice. Martin Praetorius
Fiachna Winter Sun just brings me to my knees. The fiddle and flute completely summons my core to the submission of such beauty.
Just played this again after your performance with Tom Dunne and Alan Conner on The Late Late Show. Your energy on the trad song was incredible. Still grappling with a continent and an ocean keeping me at bay with the gigs of humanity being right there in Ireland. Dont Stop! David and Delfina Hernandez
“Write The Soil Lighter” is full of beguilingly mysterious folk-adjacent music, shrouded in shadow and atmospherics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
