It sometimes feels that love songs have reached a saturation point – a point where newly discovered melodies expressing love or describing a romantic relationship don’t make their way onto playlists and, at most, are appreciated for only a short time. Then, a song lands and easily nudges its way onto your long-established and seldom-changed catalog of cherished love song. “You've Been On My Mind” nudged its way onto our catalog.
The track is a release of Fabrizio Cammarata, a singer/songwriter from Palermo, Sicily. It’s difficult to succinctly describe what distinguishes “You’ve Been On My Mind” from other tracks with a love theme. An accumulation of factors allows the single to step forward. The lyrics are thoughtful and poetic in setting the emotion – “Like a blind man who dreams of skies, I crave that morning light.” And Cammarata’s voice is pure and passionate in presenting those lyrics. His lead vocals are isolated during most of the track, but vocal texturing drives the final minute. The melody has a polished brilliance for the first half of “You've Been On My Mind,” but it is the dynamic nature of the second half that is particularly praiseworthy.
Fabrizio Cammarata released an 11-track album, “Of Shadows,” on November 17, 2017. While talking about the album, he noted:
"As if I were getting deeper and deeper in the nature of shadows, I try to slowly move the curtain away to see what lies beyond. I come clean, I say my truth, but… you? Do you know what you will find if you look into your shadows?”

Lyrics of “You've Been On My Mind” by Fabrizio Cammarata
We can talk, but I know
That there is more than meets the eye
We can follow and bleed on
I wanted more than I could give, to you
Now there is something I can’t hide
You’ve been on my mind
You’ve been there all the time
You’ve been on my mind
You’ve been there all the time
So now fade away
We can stand and hold on
‘Till you forgive who’s loved you most
‘Till we forget
How to be loved
Like a blind man who dreams of skies
I crave that morning light
You’ve been on my mind
You’ve been there all the time
You’ve been on my mind
You’ve been there all the time
So now fade away
No matter where you are, you’re there
No matter where I look, I’ll always find you there
Deep in the shadows of my mind
But if you look into your shadows, what will you find?
If you look into your shadows, what will you find?
If you look into your shadows, what will you find?
If you look into your shadows, what will you find?
If you look into your shadows?
No matter where you are, you’re there
No matter where I look, I’ll always find you there
Deep in the shadows of my mind
But if you look into your shadows, what will you find?
If you look into your shadows, what will you find?
If you look into your shadows?
