Asking
03:36
|

|
Tell me how we're gonna learn to read
Thing we never had the chance to see
Someone else is getting through your days
Have you even been awake today?
I'm always asking things i'll never understand
Sleepeng days and days on a bed.
tell me how we're gonna learn to see
things we never had the chance to be
Someone else is getting through your days
Have you ever been wake today?
I'm always asking things I'll never understand
Sleeping days and days on a bed

Lord,
I wanna try to do what is right to do
I'm probably gonna leard what is wrong to do
Love is still what we haven't found.
Days,
have never been so great like today
I'm probably gonna do what is right to do.
Love is still what we haven't found.
Someone wants to be alright.

You're Not There
03:05
|
|||
|
In time in time, it's the day
That you were waiting for with so much faith
In time in time it's the Love
That you were waiting for and it's so long.
But you're not there.
In time in time It's all the world
That you've been waiting for so open the door.
But you're not there.

5. |
Home Again
03:39
|
|||
|
I's not me, it's not you
Ain't anybody I ever knew
Who's gonna be able to go back
Where we came from.
You'll never be home again.

Stood Up Straight
03:32
|
|||
|
I wanna be the strongest rain
That's gonna change everything you've made
i know you care a lot about the house
That you have built on a muddy ground
Hey stood up straight!
I wanna be the hardest stone
You'll be open to every kind of storm
I know you care a lot about the house
That you have built on a muddy ground
Hey stood up straight!

Miles Away

|
|||
|
I bought a raincoat today
Just in case it's gonna rain
I bought a raincoat today
It's gonna rain it's gonna rain
Miles Away
I bought those shoes to walk away
Just in cas it's gonna rain
I bought those shoes to walk away
It's gonna rain it's gonna rain
Miles Away

Trying
03:48

We're falling again in this land
We're trying to get over it
And flying away
We're trying

Many Days
03:47
|
|||
|
Most of the times
I'm practicin a way to know where i'm wrong
Most of the times
The mirror shows what you really are
Many days, and I will find a way
I know, to get out of the storm
Most of the times
I try to hide what i know is wrong
Most of the times
i need your eyes to get me thorough this night
Many days, and i will find a way
I know, to get out of the storm
|

10. |
No One
03:58
|
|||
|
Show me something
Underneath us
We belong to
Underneath us
No one is no one around
No one will leave you on the ground
And you will find out and see
No one is no one around

about
GUMO is a “non-band:”
Three musicians in three different cities in two different continents.
The band GUMO started in Tuscany in the early 2000s with three musicians: Alberto Serafini, Manuel Schicchi and Juri De Luca.
In 2007, their first album “Are You Sure?” was released by Midfinger Record Label under the name “THE GUMO.”
At the same time, the trio began a prolific collaboration with the Texan singer songwriter Vanessa Peters under the name “Ice Cream On Mondays."
Vanessa Peters & Ice Cream on Mondays recorded three albums: “Thin Thread” (2005), “Little Films” (2006), and “Sweetheart, Keep Your Chin Up” (2009), which was nominated for “best album” and “best band” at the Texas Music Awards that year. They toured all over the US and Europe, averaging 200 concerts a year until 2010.
Around that time, Alberto moved to Austin, Texas, which made keeping the band alive very tricky.
Juri moved to Milan, while Manuel remained in Tuscany where he had the chance to collaborate, as a guitar player, with artists like Max Weinberg and Roy Bittan (E-Street Band), Salim Nourallah, and Marco Parente, among others.
Over the years, the three bandmates would occasionally reunite during summer breaks in Castiglion Fiorentino, their hometown in Tuscany, where they would keep writing and recording new songs.
The ten tracks on the new album “The Dark and The Water” come from those “summer sessions," and the band name has changed to “GUMO."
The result is a mix of influences: a jangle-pop that recalls the epic of the “C86 mixtapes” and the music scene of Olympia, WA, but also owes a lot to Velvet Underground’s art rock, Pavement, EELS, REM, and American folk-rock.
“The Dark and The Water” was released on Friday, October 16, 2020 by Fresh Yo! Record Label.

Half in Tuscany,
half in Texas, still united for the sake of what we love the most: The Music and our
