ft. Sandro Cavazza

[Stories, 2015]

โ€œSo give me hope, give me hope, give me hope on this lonely ride / cause I know one day, Iโ€™ll be the one in the skyโ€ 

โ€œI know that thereโ€™s an ought to a start and I need a little help with mine.โ€

On โ€œSunset Jesus,โ€ Sandro Cavazza paints a picture of ambition and the struggles to fulfill it.  Using California โ€“ Sunset Jesus โ€“ as the setting, itโ€™s clear that the dream is to be famous.  The problem is standing out in a crowd of dreamers, many who failed.

โ€œCalifornia, donโ€™t let me down / Seems so golden, but thereโ€™s struggle all around / Sunset Jesus, came to me / he once was waiter, now heโ€™s a savior making money on the streetโ€
