ALBUM JACK BLOOM SPACE ECHO
“Vivid Colours” is his new musical project in collaboration with Milan-based label Space Echo (a rib of the well-known Schema Records).
A hymn to love understood as a cosmic and spiritual force that transcends all physical, cultural and temporal barriers, celebrating the union between people in a universal concept, but despite its greatness, this universal love is not without contradictions and difficulties.
Youthful couple issues emerge as an inevitable part of this quest for love: misunderstandings, betrayals, fears of not being enough or of being judged, the difficulty of finding a balance between individuality and complicity. But it is also these experiences that forge love, making it grow, enriching it, leading it to new forms of awareness.
The album skilfully weaves elements of electronic dance music with enveloping pop-flavoured vocal lines and beats that reveal a wide range of influences.
Starting with the rhythmic, enveloping sounds of house music, he pushes into the sophisticated “groove” of British R&B, touching on the refined harmonies of jazz and the raw energy of alternative rock.
Jack demonstrates an extraordinary ability to blend electronic sounds with acoustic instruments, including drums played with an organic touch, which gives the album a fluid sense of swing, making it both intriguing and mature.
The result is a work perfect both for the dancefloor, with its dynamic and pulsating charge, and for more immersive listening during daily activities, thanks to its evocative and hypnotic nature.
LYRICS
Beyond The Wall:
The dialogue Beyond The Wall wants to establish is one that encourages young people to reflect on the need to face, even if only one small step at a time, their fears. It is not about taking the big leap, but about starting to look at life from a new perspective, seeking new motivation to step outside one’s “comfort zone.”
Beyond The Wall
If you got no one to talk to
‘Bout the traffic in your mind
Put yourself in my position
Where you got nowhere to hide
Walk, walk the other way
The walls outside your usual ways
If you got no one to talk to
‘Bout the troubles of your life

VIVID COLORS is a message about hope, unconditional love and a strength that comes from connecting deeply with a special person…. “When you are with me everything lights up.” It is an invitation not to let the past, with all its scars and fears, affect the present and the future. When the heart is filled with love, the path is coloured with new, more vivid, brighter hues.
Vivid Colors:
Is this what you call love?
Is this what you call love?
The scars of your past
Don’t you let them scare you path
I see vivid colours when you move
I see vivid colours when you’re in the room
Is this what you call love?
(What you call… what you call… what you call…)

What They Want explores the emotional conflict that can arise in modern relationships, in which people seem increasingly disconnected, especially in a world in which superficiality and mindlessness prevail. The concept of “I don’t know what you want” represents a deep disconnect, a lack of understanding between two people who are faced with the difficulty of communicating their desires, needs and expectations.
What They Want
You don’t know what she wants
She doesn’t give you clues
You Don’t know what she needs
Maybe some brand new shoes
So, she can walk all over you

DLYPK imagine it’s a night like any other, with the freedom of being young and enjoying a night without worries. Parents aren’t around, or at least they think you’re home sleeping peacefully. You have made sure that no one notices that you are preparing something different….
DLYPK
I’m on the wrong side of the bed, Again
Where do I find someone like yourself, Again
Oh baby, tell me how lucky did I get, In the end
The night is young and so are we
Can’t be tired for the weekend
Let’s get drunk
Let’s get high
Will be fine
Can’t let your parents know
Don’t let your parents know
The night is ours
We’ve got no ties
Can’t be stopped when we’re this alive
Lose control
Take the ride
We’ll be fine
Can’t let your parents know
Don’t let your parents know

Party’s Over addresses a sensitive but important issue: excessive drinking and drug use as a mechanism for seeking enjoyment, often as an escape from dissatisfaction or emotional difficulties. The message is aimed at those who try to “splurge” on these behaviours without realizing the devastating effects they can have, not only on physical health, but also on relationships and mental well-being.
Party’s Over
It’s cold
On the bathroom floor
This is not your home,
Yeah, I’m sure you know
This ain’t fun no more
I think it’s time to go
Who was there last night?
You went past your usual bedtime (don’t you remember?)
The blur the fight the fading light
I think you might need
To close your eyes
you need some sleep
close your eyes
the cycle of the week
Absolutely bores you…
Shut your mouth and go home!
I think you’ve done enough
you’ve knocked yourself out
so, pack your things and go home
X2
Your phone’s
on the counter cracked
guess the screen took one for you
someone cried you laughed
but you can’t recall who’s who
These days feel stretched so thin
like you’re barely holding in
the weight of what you hide
I think you need to breath tonight…
Shut your mouth and go home!
I think you’ve done enough
you’ve knocked yourself out
so, pack your things and go home

I Know You Will is a state of well-being, therefore, it becomes a moment of inner harmony that not only allows us to live at peace with ourselves, but also to share it with others. The eyes, as the mirror of the soul, become the medium for conveying kindness, empathy and love. Well-being is reflected in the looks, in the ability to connect with others without the need for words, communicating a calmness and positivity that can be felt by those around us.
I Know You Will
Those eyes can give you a million reasons
To give it all up for love
You don’t know how happy you make me
You don’t know how happy you make me
But I know you will
‘cause i know you well
I know you well

Sweet Sweet Dreams compares a troubled couple’s relationship to a bumpy road, where two people, although bound by similar feelings and desires, are constantly coming up against their differences. “Sweet Dreams,” in this context, becomes a metaphor for something that seems like a distant dream, an ideal of happiness and serenity that is desired but seems difficult to grasp. It is a vision of a perfect love, but one that never fully materializes, remaining an unfulfilled promise, an unfulfilled desire.
Sweet Sweet Dreams
I fall into pieces
When we kiss
Why don’t you believe me
When I speak
Just give me a reason
To forgive…
My sweet sweet dreams
My sweet sweet dreams
My sweet sweet dreams
Your lies leave me broken
When we talk
I’m lost in the silence
Of your thoughts
Just give me the courage
To move on
From my sweet sweet dreams
You have me doubting
what I know
It took me so long to let it go
Now i want back what I lost
Oh my sweet sweet dreams
*******
Take It Easy:
Take it easy,
Why do you call my name?
When I need more space
Don’t you pull me down
*******
Let Me Be
Are you sure
that it’s me that you need?
I won’t be there to pick up the pieces
Of the mess you made
I couldn’t be there
I don’t know what you mean yeah
