Pale Shelter 06:01
How can I be sure? When your intrusion is my illusion How can I be sure When all the time you changed my mind I asked for more and more How can I be sure When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter) You don't give me love (you give me cold hands) And I can't operate on this failure When all I want to be is Completely in command How can I be sure For all you say you keep me waiting How can I be sure When all you do is see me through I asked for more and more How can I be sure When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter) You don't give me love (you give me cold hands) And I can't operate on this failure When all I want to be is Completely in command I've been here before There is no why, no need to try I thought you had it all I'm calling you, I'm calling you I ask for more and more How can I be sure When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter) You don't give me love (you give me cold hands) And I can't operate on this failure When all I want to be is Completely in command You don't give me love You don't give me love You don't give me love You don't give me love You don't give me love You don't give me love

I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace Against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance with a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration Could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just—, just—, just wasting time Something happens And I'm head over heels I never find out 'Til I'm head over heels Something happens And I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't—, don't—, don't throw it away Throw it away Throw it away I made a fire, and watching it burn Yeah, thought of your future With one foot in the past Now, just how long will it last? Now, now, now, have you no ambitions? (Mm, what's the matter with my...) My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean air (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age.) And dreaming I'm a doctor (Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby.) It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand (Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age.) Oh, I feel so Something happens And I'm head over heels I never find out 'Til I'm head over heels Something happens And I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't—, don't—, don't throw it away And this is my four-leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four-leaf clover La, la, la... In my mind's eye La, la, la... One little boy, one little man La, la, la... Funny how time flies

Advice for the young at heart Soon we will be older When we gonna make it work? Too many people living in a secret world While they play mothers and fathers We play little boys and girls When we gonna make it work? I could be happy I could be quite naive It's only me and my shadows Happy in our make believe Soon And with the hounds at bay I'll call your bluff 'Cause it would be okay To walk on tiptoes everyday And when I think of you and all the love that's due I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand Cause to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise We've got the whole wide world in our hands Advice for the young at heart Soon we will be older When we gonna make it work? Love is a promise Love is a souvenir Once given Never forgotten, never let it disappear This could be our last chance When we gonna make it work? Working hour is over And how it makes me weep 'Cause someone sent my soul to sleep And when I think of you and all the love that's due I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand Cause to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise We've got the whole wide world in our hands We've got the whole wide world in our hands We've got the whole wide world in our hands Advice for the young at heart Soon we will be older When we gonna make it work? Advice for the young at heart Soon we will be older When we gonna make it work? Working hour is over We can do anything that we want Anything that we feel like doing Advice

Secrets 04:03
It seems we caused a forest fire With just a flicker of a flame And now I set alight to everything Now all I do is cause you pain I won't keep secrets alive I'll send them all out to space Without the will to survive They won't be going no place Oh my angel Woman child I used to think the time would come When man would rise above the beast I gave up thinking that way long ago In conversation with a priest I won't keep secrets alive I'll send them all out to space Without the will to survive They won't be going no place Oh my angel Woman child We could have heal this blindness With some human kindness I know secrets kill you But my love can fill you Time and time again Time and time again It would be so fine If you could be mine I won't keep secrets alive I'll send them all out to space Without the will to survive They won't be going no place Oh my angel Woman child

Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find You acting on your best behavior Turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the world It's my own design It's my own remorse Help me to decide Help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world There's a room where the light won't find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do, I'll be right behind you So glad we've almost made it So sad they had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world I can't stand this indecision Married with a lack of vision Everybody wants to rule the world Say that you'll never, never, never, need it One headline, why believe it? Everybody wants to rule the world All for freedom and for pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world

All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad world Mad world Mad world Mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday, happy birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad world Mad world Mad world Mad world And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad world Mad world Halargian world Mad world

Chewed the bone down too low Got fed on tea and sympathy Blew the sail like the wind I wish you were my enemy I was humble for you What a fool I've been to have Laid so low for so long Into that void of silence Where we cry without sound Where tears roll down Where tears roll down And where your mother's violence Sent your soul underground Where tears roll down Where tears roll down Drew the blade way too slow Was shackled by your honesty Made a mess, I guess I have should have known That life was lust and liberty Not a chance mutation or the last temptation Laid so low for so long, so low Into that void of silence Where we cry without sound Where tears roll down Where tears roll down And where your mother's violence Sent your soul underground Where tears roll down Where tears roll down

You walked in to the room I just had to laugh The face you wore was cool You were a photograph When it's all too late It's all too late I did not have the time I did not have the nerve To ask you how you feel Is this what you deserve When it's all too late It's all too late Change You can change Change You can change And something on your mind Became a point of view I lost your honesty You lost the life in you When it's all too late It's all too late We walk and talk in time I walk and talk in two Where does the end of me Become the start of you When it's all too late It's all too late Change You can change Change You can change What has happened to The friend that I once knew Has he gone away When it's all too late It's all too late Change You can change Change You can change Change You can change Change You can change

Shout 05:26
Shout shout let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you come on Shout shout let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you come on In violent times You shouldn't have to sell your soul In black and white They really really ought to know Those one-track minds That took you for a working boy Kiss them goodbye You shouldn't have to jump for joy You shouldn't have to jump for joy Shout shout let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you come on They gave you life And in return you gave them hell As cold as ice I hope we live to tell the tale I hope we live to tell the tale Shout shout let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you come on Shout shout let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you so come on Shout shout let it all out (let it all out) These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you come on And when you've taken down your guard If I could change your mind I'd really love to break your heart I'd really love to break your heart Shout shout Let it all out (break your heart) These are the things I can do without (break your heart) Come on (really love to break your heart) I'm talking to you Come on Shout shout let it all out (let it all out) These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you come on Shout shout let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you come on Shout shout let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you come on

Power 06:58
Last years rivals share their blood Sailor sworn to secrecy Ride the waves and stem the flood The tides of endless enmity Power now is all the rage Sons and daughters of the gun Hungry babies come of age Phasers switched and set to stun Power now, power how, power wow! Here's power If you're seeking power . . . Doctor held you tight and torn Boy he was a lucky man Out of you the future born Slight of foot and sight of hand Douse the candle, dim the light Focus not on fire or flame Don't believe that might is right Your soul can turn you just the same Power now, power how, power wow ! If you're seeking power - here's power Power now, power how, power wow ! If you're seeking power - here's power If you take my breath away The whole damn thing will turn and return Redefined, rearranged, rearranged And till my dying the day I guess I'll have to burn just to learn This the time, this the place To show a human face Dressed to kill we guessed you might Friend or foe or family We'll sacrifice the Virgin white Her death will be the life of me Power now is all the rage Don't excuse it use it well Keep the lion in his cage Free from hunger, free from hell Power now, power how, power wow ! If you're seeking power - here's power!

about

In 2013 Didascalis released the acclaimed "Enjoy My Wrong Shoes" album, homage to one of his all-time favourite band, that is Depeche Mode.
The choice was picked up amongst other bands were left behind.

After a long hiatus, working with lot of love to each track without any hurry or pressure, "No Tears, No Fears" is a homage to the duo formed by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Tears For Fears.

A dozen of songs that were and still are evergreen, huge singles, but some of these are also linked to beloved moments of life, like 'Power' or 'Laid So Low', the latter in common with a dear friend who prematurely passed away in november 2019.

There is some kind of maturity in this work that hopefully will please both new listeners as well old ones.

As much as they are covers of famous songs, the reinterpretation here and there has the flavor as if it were an original composition.

Maybe the next album will be entirely composed of original songs, but for the moment, this is a good return for Didascalis
