Iron Sky by Veronika Coassolo

2026 …  when words fail me I sing… and I felt like singing a cover song …. re-imagining the stunning “Iron Sky”  by Paolo Nutini with a drum and bass beat pulsing like the accelerated rythm of these chaotic times  … smoothed  by soothing vocals reciting his poignant lyrics…. Hope You enjoy …Play it out loud!

V/M/v is a journey into deep emotions … it’s like a dance to keep a delicate balance between grace and strong emotions … we allow our vulnerability to come out free and unfiltered …

Behind the Macro/micro project is my dear friend and talented Tommy Simpson, a Los Angeles-based musician, producer, and composer with a diverse background that includes work as an audio engineer for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

“Macro/micro’s production provides a dynamic and evolving backdrop and balances electronic textures with a warm, organic atmosphere.. Veronika’s voice brings a sense of vulnerability and depth to the tracks..” electronica.org.uk

I get lost in life… Or rather , I find myself in different journeys.. …. Often out at sea… sometimes discovering passions that teach me new beautiful things… like restoring wooden vessels … I love all my journeys ….
This time I’m back traveling into the musical universe with a collaboration with Macro/Micro … project of the talented Tommy Simpson .
The first single coming out is “Let it rain “ where I dove into a memory of an old friend who struggled with mental health and her demons ….
As painful as that was , music is cathartic … Thank you Tommy for this opportunity to share it…
the EP In its entirety is coming out soon …
Take a listen and read about it in the article down below if you’d like…
I hope you enjoy …

Inside your shelter

a secret promise welcomes me

white petals on which I can rest upon

when my wings get tired

you ask the stars

to stay up in the sky

so I can find you

late at night

and feel safe

cocooned in heaven

heaven

cocooned in heaven

heaven…

a smile

rising up from the heart

teasing me but

it feels warm inside

you ask me do you love me

with a laugh…

that sounds like heaven

I ask you please

take good care  of my dreams

and I will stay

till the horizon meets an end

cocooned in heaven

heaven

cocooned in heaven

heaven…

(Veronika Coassolo- Mike Lipscombe)

Lies

woven through shallow skies

breathing visions of polyester lives

This suffocating tapestry

weighs

heavy

and blinds you

like the darkest cloud

You’re gasping

starved of air to breath

You’re caught before

your dreams

Be love

be love….

Be love

sacrifice and free yourself

Trust and know that fear

Won’t kill

A warning sign

Open your eyes

it will hurt like severed thread

but it will heal you back

into life

At last you’ll find

The best of you

Be love

Be love…..

Yes it might hurt like severed thread

but it will heal you back

into life…

(Veronika Coassolo)

It took a lot of water to wash it all away

so I could see the damage,

mend it

hold me in the days when I’m afraid

it’s all been a big mistake

it took a lot of water to wash it all away

till I could see the damage

mend it

I feel no holding in the days when I’m afraid

it’s all been a big mistake

I put myself at risk

If not I don’t exist

soon I will be better

delicate at heart

but it’s a big heart

I put myself at risk

if not I don’t exist

Letting go of the Devil’s hand

finding balance on my feet

I’ve been a puppet to his moods

a quest for my sanity

through shadows of truth

Eclipse  of the Gods

Eclipse of the Gods

I put myself at risk

If not I don’t exist

put myself at risk

If not I don’t exist

Sitting down to rest

I was running fast

you can call me later

watching from afar

it is a good start

nothing left to loose

but still enough to risk

nothing left to loose

but still enough to risk

I put myself at risk

If not I don’t exist

nothing left to loose

but still enough to risk

I put myself at risk

If not I don’t exist ……..

(Veronika Coassolo)

every moment for what it is

every moment for who I am

every moment  right where I am

like the pink up in the sky

like the clear crisp breeze of air

I am here living this day

like there’s no need to be afraid

when the wind changes again

like a storm right through my soul

I am here living it all

like there’s no need to be afraid

the same place can be heaven or hell

the same day can never be replaced

but a better one can be made

and it’s ok to be afraid

and it’s ok to be afraid

and it’s ok to be afraid

and it’s ok to be afraid

and it’s ok to be afraid

and there’s no need to be afraid…

and there’s no need to be afraid…

(Veronika Coassolo)

Tightrope walker through

a storm

I focus on the horizon

I can’t stop

And it’s a straight line

Till he end

With twist and turns

Hold my hand

When I need to catch my breath

And it’s a fine line

It’s a dance

It’s life or death

Tightrope walker through

a storm

I  focus on the horizon

I  can’t stop

No I  can’t stop

When I need to catch my breath..

I’m still up

I’m still up

Your lips are moving

I don’t hear a sound

Tightrope walker through my thoughts

Tiptoeing  through the motions of my mind

Hardly balancing this reasoning

Teetering

Brittle as I walk

But I’m still up

I’m still up

Tightrope walker through

a storm

Tightrope walker through

a storm…

But I’m still up

I’m still up….

Breathing slow

Breathing slow…

Tightrope walker

Through a storm

Tiptoeing through the motions

Of my head

But I’m Still up….

I’m still up……

Not only I enjoyed paying tribute to Lemmy and Motorhead singing  Ace of Spades many times on tour with Tricky

But I got to meet the man himself ….

This little angry guy  was given to me by ‪Lemmy during an epic evening started recording with the super talented Paul Inder , his son . The little guy is straight out of Lemmy’s crazy kinder collection… and a priceless memento.

Recording in the studio… beers at the Rainbow and watching old videos of Jimi Hendrix  from the days Lemmy was his roadie…. what an epic day…  THANK YOU  LEMMY … RIP and keep on rocking………

And here’s my humble tribute to you…  one of the many performances of Ace of Spades with Tricky… Loved singing lost in the crowd on stage!

I met new friends…I  danced… I played … I sang … I made peace … I felt free…

I wish I could share all that it was to me and all the magical “coincidences” that made me feel special and connected and like it all makes sense after all……. but some things are better left unsaid because they are shared by the mere fact they make us better and remind us of who We are and what We are here for….

Here are some images …. taken by me and of me by my partner in crime Mike Lipscombe…

dang he is a good photographer!

like a cat

Life is a Circus

Me and my partner in crime never get lost

Jamming in our camp
Playtime!

the Cathedral
no religion required

Stunning image by Mike Lipscombe ! I love letting him capture me…

You can now listen to “Pacific High” on Pandora !

Search for  Cocooned, Every Moment, Belove, Tightrope , Eclipse of the Gods… and like!
