Thank You. New Anidroc Release.


Anidroc released 'Thank You', a video for the track off their latest album SkAnidroC Lp (2017) on St.Valentine's day 2018. The track is a reggae, ska classic style tune recorded at Anidroc Studios. Following the release of the title track 'Ska And Rock' and 'So Far', 'Thank You' is the third video to be released.  This is another A.M.P. production in collaboration with Anidroc film. The Video features Anidroc's Berry and turns this song of thanks into a love song. 'Originally the song was about showing gratitude to all those who crossed my path in life and without whom I would not be the man I am," Mario Anidroc comments. "However, how could I not be thankful to my darling Berry?" So the idea caught on. Footage was hunted down and presented as a surprise, inspiring the idea of giving it a film reel look and the release date set for ST. Valentines.


The Lyrics are by Mario Anidroc.

Thank You.

I have found, no better way to,
Say thank you.
For another lovely day.
I have found no better words to thank you.
For another great day to thank you.     

No better way, no better way,
To say 'Thank You.'

The Video can be found on YouTube and other media platforms and right here below.

Andiroc My Prayer (Our Story) Video Release

Andiroc has released it's title track 'My Prayer' from the 2015 album with the same name on the 9th of September 2016. The track is an original Anidroc tune by Andiroc, lyrics by Mario Cordina. Recorded at Anidroc studios in Jana Z Kolna in Szczecin, Poland.

The video is a double release with My Prayer Our Story being the first part of two films starring Jagoda Beltrani Andiroc and Mario Andiroc. Guest stars include John Perkins, Sharon Naudi, Ramon Naudi and Amanda Hsu. The film is directed by Mario Cordina for Anidroc and features photos by Amanda Hsu.

The story is that of a man writing a prayer of love and sending it as a message in a bottle floating on the waves, to be picked up by a woman in some other part of the world. The pictures evolve round the real wedding scenes and emotions filmed on the 6th of August 2016 when Jagoda Beltrani Andiroc and Mario Andiroc joined their hands in marriage on St.Paul's Island in Malta.

"'My Prayer' is a very personal and emotional album throughout. Both of us thought that it was a fitting end to the album and a fitting theme for its video. Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think that this song composed about two years ago would ever encapsulate such an important moment in our lives." Mario Anidroc.

"Mario's prayer seemed to echo my own thoughts and feelings when I heard it the first time. It felt so close to my own perception of love in personal life and beyond. We had known each other for a long time, this song just brought us that step closer to each other." Jagoda Beltrani Anidroc.

"At the end of the day music is about sharing and we decided to share this moment in time with all of you." Mario Anidroc. 

My Prayer
Lyrics ( Andiroc)

I pray for love,
May it save me from harm,
Keep me warm, keep me sane,
Make me forget, 
Soothe and brush away the pain.

And I pray for love,
May it carry me home.
Share my hopes, share my bed,
That I may find, 
A goal, a road ahead.


I pray for love,
Is there love out there?
Will you carry me home,
Will you give me someone,
To care for?

Watch the video and wish the Andiroc couple the best of life to come.

Anidroc Under Your Steel Release




Anidroc has officially released 'Under Your Steel,' today March 1st 2016, a track taken from the LP 'My Prayer' released last year in 2015. 

The video is about a mystical majko girl wandering lost in a magical garden whilst an all seer wizard sees through her painted smile. We follow the sad innuendoes in her face and the sudden despair as her armour starts to crack. She is like a bird in a beautiful cage that tears at the bars tormented by the presence of the all seer. The roles are acted out by Anidroc's lead singer Mario Cordina and actress Jagoda Beltrani. 

Under Your Steel was recorded at Anidroc Studios under the A.M.P. label as part of the 'My Prayer' Lp 2015. Performed by Anidroc (music / lyrics Mario Cordina), the song is about denial in the face of odds. Soon the cracking armour will lose its steel. The video is an A.M.P. production in collaboration with Anidroc Film.

Below you can find film shot information, the lyrics, the film and making of video.

The 'Japanese' scenes were shot in the Garden of Serenity Sta. Lucia, making use of its pagoda's and Chinese Asian decor to reflect the majko make-up and oriental mystical look.
The blowing of the veil and the tea drinking scene were shot at l'Aħrax tal-Mellieħa. The aloe vera family plants inspired the leaf like hands of the all seer.
The lantern late evening scenes were shot in Buskett Gardens with the leaf coloured arch and the forest like aura of this exquisite forest originally built by the Knights of St.John.

The ending scene was shot at Sa Maison Gardens also known as Tal-Milorda, with the steel gate imprisoning the Majko within the walls of her cage.
Under Your Steel
Lyrics: Mario Cordina

And you say that you don't love me,
And you say that you don't need me,
And you say so many things that are not real.
And you say that you don't feel right
And that you won't sleep with me tonight,
And you're looking like a driver that has lost her wheel.
And I feel,
You're breaking under your steel.

Is your cracking armour losing steel,
Is it getting harder to stick to your wheel,
And I feel,
You're breaking under your steel.

Bomb Dropper
(Lyrics: Mario Cordina)

You dropped your bomb,
Like an Enola Gay.
That gaping hole,
You left behind to stay.

Go on walk away.

You fire your gun,
Fired your bullets away.
The pain has just begun,
The scars you left behind to stay.

Go on and walk away,
drop the bomb, never look back at the ruins you left behind.

Get back on track,
Go on an walk away,
Never look back at the mess you left behind to stay.

Go on and walk away,
drop the bomb, never look back at the ruins you left behind.
Go on and walk away,
drop the bomb, never look back at the ruins you left behind.
Never look back at the mess you left behind,
Never look back at the man you left behind.

Never look back, go on, walk away.

You dropped your bomb,
Go on, walk away.

Beyond sanity? 
Beyond reason? 
Beyond hope? 
Beyond recovery? 

And..... Nobody Knows, who to follow, 
Nobody knows where to go. 

Are we beyond recovery? 
Have we run beyond hope? 
Are we beyond recovery? 
Beyond reason, beyond hope, beyond recovery? 

And..... 
Nobody Knows, who to follow, 
Nobody knows where to go. 

Are we beyond recovery? 
Have we run beyond hope? 
Are we beyond recovery? 
Have we found the end of the rope? 

Are we beyond? 
Beyond sanity? 
Beyond reason, beyond hope? Beyond?

Our Roots Make Us Human

Anidroc's Latest release today 16th May 2014 : Our Roots Make us Human. Recorded at Anidroc Studios, an A.M.P Production 2014

The song is based on Mario Cordina's own as yet unpublished book 'Children of The Pod,' where trees take over a human form and try to mingle and live within human society. Eventually these creatures will turn their backs on a society bent on war, crime, violence and cruelty. There is much that one can learn from observing the approach that other creatures sharing this planet have to life.





Lyrics

Our Roots Make us Human. 
(Mario Cordina) 

If a human could dig his roots in like a tree,
Spread his branches and reach out and see.
There’d be no moving and no roaming around,
Maybe he’d learn to listen and make no sound.
And he’d be able to live for four hundred score,
And maybe learn a wee, wee little more,
About the space that we are rooted in.
About the space that we are rooted in.

Our roots make us human,
Our roots make us one,
Make us one with the space that we are rooted in.

And a logger might come to fell his head,
And the weather may blow - blow him dead.
But the birds feel blessed when they come to nest.
And choose his boughs to build, build their nest.
And if a human could dig his roots in like a tree,
See the future through the eyes of history,
Find a place in the space that we are rooted in,
Find a place in the space that we are rooted in.

Our roots make us human,
Our roots make us one,
Make us one with the space that we are rooted in.

Migration

Anidroc has released a new track "Migration," available at the sound cloud link below.
 

Migration
Lyrics by Mario Cordina

Migration, positive vibration,
Mixed nation, one single population.

Leaving home,
Trying to make it on your own,
And you will see,
That every man's like you and me

And there's nothing you cannot do,
And there's nothing you cannot be.

For you and for me,
Bring on one single population,
For you and for me,
Bring on the dancing nation.

Big Pop Balloons Week 2

For those who have been wondering where these balloons all over FB are leading to here's a look at an interview with their author Mere Celeste:




P: Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honour to introduce today’s guest. The author of ‘Big Pop Balloons,’ the top selling writer and trendsetting artist of all time. A man who according to the latest polls is the most popular man on earth, more popular than Jesus and the Pope and the President of the USA. Give a large round of applause and welcome Mere Celeste.
M: Thank you. It is an honour.
P: What fired your inspiration to write ‘Big Pop Balloons?’
M: We are all numbed by repeated disappointments.
P: What do you mean by that?
M: Disappointment leads to despair and despair leads to action.
P: What disappointment? What despair?
M: We start with nothing. Very often we find ourselves at the end of nothing.
P: But now you are a very successful author, a celebrity in your own right.
M: That is elementary my dear Watson.
P: What is?
M: Popularity and the number of likes on your page. All a fad. Indeed a big pop balloon.
P: So what in essence is a big pop balloon?
M: We are but balloons and such is our fate. Shrivelled we wait for the air to blow us up. This whole universe is a balloon. As it inflates it nears its end.
P: Yes a well known quote from your book, but why is it a fad?
M: As I have implied, a balloon is bound to burst and when it goes pop, all that’s left is empty stale nothing.
P: But you cannot be so pessimistic, not with so many readers and fans around the world.
M: We blow up balloons for others to see as they rise up in the air. We all have our reasons for doing so. Colourful balloons for people to like. We are prepared to do anything in order for others to like our balloon.
P: What is it that you have done. 

M: Same as others have done before me. Make sure that people read about it in the magazines and newspapers, parade it on their TV screens and tablet monitors.
P: I agree, but how can one attract the media to your balloon?
M: Colour is key.
P: Which colour?
M: Scandal, atrocity, death, violence. Indeed popularity depends on the number of hits, a clever choice of vocabulary. Hit me, hit me! If a balloon gets a million hits, it must be worth those million likes. It must be like Jesus, like the Pope, like Lady Gaga, Like the President of the United Skates of Superpower. Yes it must be cool, very cool for so many unseen, unknown hands have clicked on it unthinkingly but positively.
P: Granted, but it has helped to make you popular.
M: A sorry picture of modern man it makes. A chain reaction that makes sheep out of men and a goat herd out of the one who filled the balloon with his stinking breath.
P: Why do you paint such a sad picture?
M: Life has become a fantasy world of big pop balloons, bright in lettered message, meant for the population to read and believe as the truth. A killer of question marks, a stifler of debate.

Big Pop Balloons Week 1

Big Pop Balloons is in its first week. It has mainly sent the thoughts of Mere Celeste's Balloons spamming all over Facebook. It has reached over 1900 people and has even raised the comments of many. People were asked to translate the balloons into Polish and both English and Polish versions are available on Anidroc's Facebook page.



Big Pop Balloons by the outstanding author Mere Celeste bases its concepts upon the idea that “Most people speak with tongues borrowed from the opinion setters of the day. These may be magazine writers, TV presenters, serials, gossip columns, horoscopes, fashion moguls, pop icons. I don’t blame them for there is no real information available today other than headlines about scandal or the private lives of celebs.”




"A genius is one recognized as such by the people of his time or later. What about the ones society fails to notice?" Mere Celeste Big Pop Balloons



Seemingly harmless these balloons have raised the interest, sometimes indifference, sometimes even anger. The one about Jesus definitely made its impact.
