Davide Lippi

Davide Lippi

The tireless wanderlust of Davide Lippi is conveyed through a spiritual lyricism inspired by ancient folk music, tinged with hints of acoustic pop (not unlike Drew Holcomb or Northern Indians). Equal parts social lonewolf and compassionate philosopher, Davide spends his days as a horseman in northern Sweden when he’s not…

I’ll Be Waiting

I’ll Be Waiting

It might be the melancholic and careful slowness with which “I’ll Be Waiting” unravels its verses. Maybe it’s the depiction of the different ways in which the longing for a former lover manifests: Apparently frozen in time, yet raining continuously in one’s mind.
