Over The Sea - Amanda Pascali

As the daughter of immigrants in the United States, I am deeply moved by the stories of those who risk everything in search of hope, because this is my story. This song reflects on the ever-evolving face of the "immigrant." Across nationalities, languages, and time periods, their stories embody the spirit and challenges of their specific moment in history. They remind us of the harsh realities of a human race in constant motion—searching, striving, surviving. I wrote "Over the Sea" about the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean. This song was fueled by the great discomfort I felt when I read about migrants who often die trying to cross the sea to arrive in Southern Europe. Since writing this song, I’ve found its meaning growing even more urgent—beyond the Mediterranean, around the world, and especially in my own home: the United States. In a nation built by those who once crossed borders in search of a better life, it is a cruel irony to turn our backs on the very struggle that shaped us. ------- Amanda - guitar/vocals Addison - mandolin Gabriele - guitar Gianlorenzo - audio Davide - video
