A casual meeting between two musicians, who have always tried to express themselves through music.
Separated by 6000 Miles, they discovered their musical affinity online, and combined their ideas to merge them into their first album: Beautiful Complicity.
The album is a trail of songs written and produced entirely in Italy and Mexico from April to November 2017 by both musicians.
Consists in 11 tracks with evolving atmospheres and sounds that invite you to close your eyes and dream.
6000 Miles is a musical project created by Valentina Ruberti (Italy) and Fernando Robles (Mexico). They met each other at the BandHub music online collaborations platform in November 2016. Few months later, after discovering their affinity and their way to see music, they decided to start composing and recording the songs for their first production.
Valentina started singing at 8 and writing songs when she was 14.
From 2004 she continued her music career with a project called "Eteria Diva", a band with which she won some Italian competitions and scholarships that took her to study at the European Center of Toscolano, the school of Maestro Giulio Rapetti Mogol. The history of "Eteria Diva" ended in 2015, with the definitive dissolution of the band.
Parallel to this project, she is part of a series of bands in the North of Italy, playing international covers live in different venues.
The meeting with Fernando, however, as she says, "will mark a turning point on her way of making music".
Fernando started playing classical guitar and composing when he was 13. At 16 he also started playing bass guitar. The first project he was part of is called Seda Negra (band still active). He left in 1996. In 2002 he started studying musical production and sound engineering.
In 2004 he released an album with a project called "Puerta 4" along with guitarist Carlos Lopez. The band ended in 2006. Now-a-days, 6000 Miles has become his musical priority. "Working with Valentina has made me see music in a different way, allowing me to produce and enjoy the music I ever wanted to do", as he states.
All production, lyrics, instruments and arrangements by Valentina Ruberti and Fernando Robles.
Special guests:
● Felipe Rodriguez, electric guitar in (2) Clouds Of Light, (5) Time Isn't Real and (7) Flying In My Room.
● Lou De Angelis, percussions in (10) Mr Button Up.
● Massimo Modena, transverse flute in (8) Let Me Laugh A Lot.

RAINY MAY NIGHT
RAINY MAY NIGHT... LISTEN THE DROPS
WET SILHOUETTE... SEEMS LIKE FOREVER
YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS... TO BREATHE WITHOUT AIR
TO LEAVE AN EMPTY SPACE
FLYING BENEATH MY TIME
BLENDING THE MOON AND LIGHT
UNDER THE RAIN, SEARCHING SHADOWS
REFLECTIONS OF THREE HEARTS
FLYING BENEATH YOUR SMILE
TURNED OUT THE NIGHT SO BRIGHT
WHAT YOU CALLED LOVE IS JUST AN ECHO
A PICTURE OF TWO DISTANT FADED MINDS
RAINY MAY NIGHT... HIDING IN MY BODY
NOTHING TO LISTEN... DRAWING TRIANGLES
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS... TO HEAR WHAT I SAID
TO LEAVE AN EMPTY SPACE
FLYING BENEATH MY TIME
BLENDING THE MOON AND LIGHT
UNDER THE RAIN, SEARCHING SHADOWS
REFLECTIONS OF THREE HEARTS
FLYING BENEATH YOUR SMILE
TURNED OUT THE NIGHT SO BRIGHT
WHAT YOU CALLED LOVE IS JUST AN ECHO
A PICTURE OF TWO DISTANT FADED MINDS
CLOUDS OF LIGHT
MY SOUL HIDES IN A BOX… CALLING FOR MY OWN
TO LET IT BE FREE… CHAOTIC TRANQUILITY
WHEN YOUR MIND OPENS THE LOCK... THE SKY TURNS INTO RED
EMPTINESS GOES AWAY... PERFECT SURRENDER
INFINITY EXPECTING ME.
AND MY SOUL FLIES AWAY FROM ITS SHELTER
HEADING TO THE STARS
DEFYING SPACE AND TIME
HIDES IN YOU AND THE ANGELS APPEAR
WHILE WE MAKE LOVE OVER CLOUDS OF LIGHT
MY SOUL HIDES IN YOUR EYES… LIVING IN YOUR TEARS
DREAMING IN COLORS… A PEACEFUL INTENSITY
NEVER CRY, LET ME LIVE INSIDE... STARING AT YOUR THOUGHTS
WHILE YOU CAN IMAGINE A ONE-WAY JOURNEY
A BEAUTIFUL DESTINY.
AND OUR SOULS FLY AWAY FROM THEIR SHELTER
HEADING TO THE STARS
DEFYING SPACE AND TIME
HIDING US WHILE THE ANGELS APPEAR
AND WE MAKE LOVE OVER CLOUDS OF LIGHT
BEAUTIFUL COMPLICITY
PIECES OF PAPER FLYING IN MY MIND
TWO SHADED PUZZLES HIDING IN OUR BODIES
WAITING FOR THE PERFECT GLOWING
HIDDEN IN A PLACE WHERE WE WERE WAITING, COUNTING
MINUTES, LINES INSIDE YOUR EYES… A BREATHLESS SUNSHINE
DRAWING UP THIS BEAUTIFUL COMPLICITY IN SILENCE
DREAMING WITH THE COLORS OF YOUR WORLD
WITH THE BLUE WIND PAINTING OUR SHADOWS
WHITE LIES FILLING OURSELVES
DREAMING WITH THE COLORS OF OUR WORLD
CHERRY BUBBLES, YELLOW AND ORANGE
GREEN TONES FILLING US ONCE AGAIN
A PERFECT TULIP LIVING IN MY HEART
FORGET THE GREYNESS HIDDEN IN YOUR SENSES
PASTEL LIGHT AND PERFECT SHADOWS
SHINING IN THE PLACE WHERE I WAS WAITING, COUNTING
SECONDS, TIME TO CLOSE MY EYES… AND FEEL YOU BREATHING
WAKING UP THE BEAUTIFUL COMPLICITY IN SILENCE
DREAMING WITH THE COLORS OF YOUR WORLD
WITH THE BLUE WIND PAINTING OUR SHADOWS
WHITE LIES FILLING OURSELVES
DREAMING WITH THE COLORS OF OUR WORLD
CHERRY BUBBLES, YELLOW AND ORANGE
GREEN TONES FILLING US ONCE AGAIN
UNCOMFORTABLE
I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT YOU STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW I AM INSIDE
YEARS ARE FLYING AWAY
AND AT THE END IT’S ALWAYS SO EASY TO RUN BACK TO YOU
OH LOVE, YOU, WHO CARRY ME ON A SILVER PLATE
AS IF I WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS THING OF YOUR UNIVERSE.
BUT I’M BAD, I’M A LIAR, I’M SPENDING MY TIME CONSUMING YOUR YEARS
I’M WASTING MY TIME CONSUMING MY TEARS
BUT I ALWAYS WANT YOU NEAR, CAUSE’ I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
AND I KNOW YOU ARE NOT FAR
FOR ALL THE TIMES THAT YOU’VE SAVED ME I CAN’T ERASE WHAT YOU ARE
THERE WAS A TIME I USED TO THINK OF YOU AS MY SAILOR, PERHAPS
SOMETIMES IT’S WRONG TO HOLD SOMEONE IN A TRAP
JUST TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER THAN USUAL
BUT THIS TRAP GRIPS ME WITH A TIGHT LACE
AND I DON’T THINK THAT YOU DESERVE A PERSON UNABLE TO LOVE YOU
ALTHOUGH I’M DOING MY VERY BEST
TO MAKE ME SURE THAT YOU DON’T KNOW IT
I’M SPENDING MY TIME CONSUMING MY TEARS
BUT I ALWAYS WANT YOU NEAR, CAUSE’ I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
AND I KNOW YOU ARE NOT FAR
FOR ALL THE TIMES THAT YOU’VE SAVED ME I CAN’T ERASE WHAT YOU ARE
I’M SURE THAT YOU’VE SAVED ME... AND I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
I KNOW YOU ARE NOT FAR... I CAN’T ERASE WHAT YOU ARE
TIME ISN'T REAL
FEEL JUST WHAT I DON’T WANT TO FEEL
BE ONLY WHAT I DON’T WANT TO BE
I NEVER SAY IT, I CAN LOOK HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING IN CONTROL
BUT WHEN THE SIMPLE AIR SUFFOCATES MY LIFE
I JUST WANT TO FALL... BUT I DON'T WANT TO FALL
I'M THE SOUND OF A FALLING LEAF WHILE FLOATING
BUT I'M NOT AFRAID NOW, BECAUSE YOU ARE MY GROUND
DON’T NEED WORDS AND YOU LISTEN TO ME, MY MIRROR
A SECOND HIDES TIME INSIDE OF US... TWO SOULS, FLYING TOGETHER
WHEN I'M FALLING DOWN SOUNDS CAN SAVE ME... I’M BREATHING
I LOOK INSIDE, AND YOU ARE THERE MY GROUND, FADING ALL FEARS FROM ME
FEAR EVEN TO LOOK INTO MYSELF
AND WEAR EVERYDAY MY MASK AGAIN
BUT NOW I BEGIN TO BELIEVE I COULD REMOVE IT WITH YOU
AND THEN LET YOU IN TO TAKE CARE OF MY SOUL, SO I WILL NEVER FALL
I'M THE LEAF BELOW THAT TREE
YOU STOLE WITH HEART AND HANDS TO HIDE IT IN YOUR FAVORITE BOOK
FEEL WITH YOU ONLY WHAT I WANT TO FEEL
AND BE WITH YOU ONLY WHAT I WANT TO BE
DON’T NEED WORDS AND YOU ALWAYS WITH ME, MY MIRROR
A SECOND HIDES TIME INSIDE OF US... TWO SOULS FLYING TOGETHER
NEVER FALLING DOWN CAUSE' NOW YOU'VE SAVED ME, I’M BREATHING
I LOOK AHEAD, AND YOU ARE THERE.
I FEEL BOTH OF US ONLY ONE... JUST ONE.
WRONGED
WAIT, DON'T DO NOTHING… THERE IS NO NEED TO LIE
NO NEED TO HATE ME… THIS IS JUST WHO I AM
WORDS, SHARP AS ARROWS ARE STUCK IN THE PAST
NO NEED TO JUDGE US, THIS IS JUST WHO WE ARE
AND… TAKE YOUR TIME
THE SNOW WILL ALWAYS MELT WITH SUNSHINE. NEW SKIES SO BRIGHT
AND… KEEP ME WARM
THE NIGHT WILL NEVER FADE WITH FIRE. NO MORE WALLS OF ICE
TAKE YOUR TIME
THE SNOW WILL ALWAYS MELT WITH SUNSHINE. NEW SKIES SO BRIGHT.
AND KEEP ME WARM, THE NIGHT WILL NEVER FADE WITH FIRE
NO MORE WALLS OF ICE. WRONGED?
BOOKS, WITHOUT COVERS, FOR WHICH NO ONE WILL ASK
PHRASES WE'VE WRITTEN, CIRCLES, WORDS, OPEN HANDS
LINES OF YOUR BODY WHICH I'LL NEVER DEFINE
HIDDEN INTENTIONS. DARKEST BEAUTY IN YOUR HEART
AND… TAKE YOUR TIME
THE SNOW WILL ALWAYS MELT WITH SUNSHINE. NEW SKIES SO BRIGHT
AND… KEEP ME WARM
THE NIGHT WILL NEVER FADE WITH FIRE. NO MORE WALLS OF ICE
TAKE YOUR TIME
THE SNOW WILL ALWAYS MELT WITH SUNSHINE. NEW SKIES SO BRIGHT
AND KEEP ME WARM, THE NIGHT WILL NEVER FADE WITH FIRE
NO MORE WALLS OF ICE. WRONGED?
I DON’T THINK IT’S WRONG
FLYING IN MY ROOM
HERE, LYING WITHOUT YOU... HERE
NAILED TO THE FLOOR, LOOKING UP, SEARCHING A VOICE... HERE
I SEEM WEAK, BUT I'M STRONG AND ALIVE
IF I WAS ALLOWED TO FLY IN MY ROOM IT'S ONLY THANKS TO YOU
SOUND PASSES BY...
AND WHEN I'M DREAMING...
FEEL YOUR NOTES UNDERNEATH MY PRIDE
WAVES OF PLANETS
PHRASES CAN'T DROP MY MIND
MY WINGS ARE OPEN
CAN HEAR YOUR SKIN WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
CHORDS ARE FIGURES... GRAVITY GUIDES MY TIME
HERE, DYING WITHOUT YOU... HERE
VIBRATIONS FALL, HUNTING UP, CHASING A VOICE... HERE
I CRUMBLE, BUT MY HEARTBEATS ARE FAST
IF I WAS ALLOWED TO FLY IN MY ROOM IT'S JUST BECAUSE OF YOU
SOUND PASSES BY...
AND WHEN I'M DREAMING...
I FEEL YOUR NOTES UNDERNEATH MY PRIDE
WAVES OF PLANETS
PHRASES CAN'T DROP MY MIND
MY WINGS ARE OPEN
CAN HEAR YOUR SKIN WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
WORDS ARE FIGURES... GRAVITY GUIDES MY TIME
LET ME LAUGH A LOT
OH, FRIEND OF LIFE, I'M STILL NOT IN LINE
I OFTEN THINK OF YOU… I KNOW I SHOULDN'T
BUT MAYBE I NEED TO DO IT
I WOULD LIKE TO DRAW THE OUTLINE OF YOUR LIPS WITH MY FINGER
PRESS THE TIP OF YOUR NOSE AS YOU WERE A CHILD
AND TELL YOU AGAIN THAT YOU HIT ME THERE
IN A SECRET PLACE WHERE I DON'T WANT TO BE FOUND
SO, I THINK OF YOU… I CAN ALWAYS DO IT
BUT I TAKE OFF A WEIGHT FROM ME SAYING THIS. AND I APOLOGIZE
I LET YOU LAUGH AT ME FOR ALL THE STUPID THINGS I'VE DONE
SPYING YOURSELF HIDING MYSELF
I LET YOU LAUGH AT ME FOR ALL THE STUPID THINGS I'VE SAID
TRYING TO HAVE FUN WITH YOU, MY DEAR
I LET YOU LAUGH AT ME FOR ALL THE STUPID THINGS I'VE THOUGHT
HOPING TO MAKE LOVE WITH YOU, MY LOVE.
I LET YOU LAUGH AT ME...
A DAY IN LIFE WE WILL WALK TOGETHER
AND WE WILL JOKE ABOUT THIS
ALTHOUGH I’VE NOT YET FIGURED OUT
WHAT GAME YOU'RE PLAYING WITH ME
YOU KNOW I LOVE TO WIN ALL THE THINGS I CANNOT WIN
I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
YOU'VE ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD, AND YOU WILL FORGIVE ME
I APOLOGIZE TO ALL
ONE LESS TIME
IN THIS CONFUSED DAY I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MY HEAD ON
BUT WHAT I DO IS LOOK FOR A DISGUISE
TO GET ME DOWN AND UP FROM THE SEA
SEARCHING FOR YOU, AND SWIM, AND SWING
RISE LIKE A WAVE TO DREAM IN THE BLUE SKY
YOUR LIGHT GUIDES MY SIGHT
AND THERE’S A PLACE WHERE I WANT TO HIDE
NOTHING CAN TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOU
NOTHING, NEVER, WILL TAKE ME ONE LESS TIME AWAY FROM YOU
IN THIS OBSCURE WORLD I WOULD LIKE TO TURN MY MIND OFF
BUT WHAT I DO IS LOOK FOR THE OCEAN
TO GET US IN AND OUT FROM THE TRUTH
SEEKING FOR US, AND BREATHE, AND LIVE
RISE LIKE A WAVE TO DREAM IN THE BLUE SKY
YOUR LIGHT GUIDES MY SIGHT
AND THERE’S A PLACE WHERE I WANT TO HIDE
NOTHING CAN TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOU
NOTHING, NEVER, WILL TAKE ME ONE LESS TIME AWAY FROM YOU
RISE LIKE A WAVE TO DREAM IN THE BLUE SKY
MY LIGHT GUIDES YOUR SIGHT
AND THERE’S A PLACE WHERE WE WANT TO HIDE
NOTHING CAN TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME
NOTHING, NEVER, WILL TAKE YOU ONE LESS TIME AWAY FROM ME
MR. BUTTON UP
MR. BUTTON UP FALLS IN LOVE WITH AN EGGPLANT
HE TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO BE PROUD OF ME
HE HAS A STRANGE WAY TO TAKE CARE OF ME
MR. BUTTON UP USES GLASSES JUST AS HE HAD NEVER WORN A PAIR
HE WEARS LOOSE CLOTHES 'CAUSE HE LOVES SIMPLICITY
AND SOMETIMES WHEN HE'S ALONE, EVEN SPEAKS WITH HIS DOGS
HE LIKES TO SAY "I'M HONEST", BUT HE LEFT ME NO TRACE OF HIM
HE LEFT ME WITHOUT A PROMISE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE'S NOW
DON'T CALL ME SILLY… YOU'LL NEVER KNOW ME
YOU CAN CALL ME ICE CREAM, ‘CAUSE I'M NOT ASHAMED IF I MELT
I LOVE THE SUN… SO THEN THE COLD WILL RETURN IN ALL MY PLANS
MR. BUTTON UP TAKES CARE OF MUSIC AND ALL HIS STUFF
HE SLEEPS LITTLE AT NIGHT ‘CAUSE HE ALWAYS WAKES UP
THE MORE HE SHOWS ELUSIVE, THE MORE I WANT TO KNOW HIM
MR. BUTTON UP TENDERLY LINES UP HIS PAIR OF STICKS
HE LOVES TECNOLOGY IN ALL THE THINGS HE DOES
HE IS ORGANIZED AND METHODICAL LIKE A GOOD TUTORIAL
HE LIKES TO SAY "I'M HONEST", BUT HE LEFT ME NO TRACE OF HIM
HE LEFT ME WITHOUT A PROMISE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE'S NOW
DON'T CALL ME SILLY… YOU'LL NEVER KNOW ME
YOU CAN CALL ME ICE CREAM, ‘CAUSE I'M NOT ASHAMED IF I MELT
I LOVE THE SUN... SO THEN THE COLD WILL RETURN IN ALL MY PLANS
WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING
WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING I AM ALWAYS AWAKE
AND MY MIND WONDERS IF YOU ARE THINKING OF ME
OR IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP WITH ME
WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING
A TENDERNESS INSIDE MY HEART FANTASIZES IF THERE IS A DREAM
THAT YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH ME
I’VE BEEN DREAMING YOU AND I
AND WE’RE WALKING FREE IN THE RAIN
ONE DAY YOU’LL BE AT MY DOOR
AND MY SMILE WILL BREAK THESE YEARS
ERASE THE TEARS AND YOU WILL BE NEAR.
WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING I REFLECT
IF I AM A FOOL TO BE TRAPPED IN ALL THIS
AND IF THIS IS NOT ME, BUT I FEEL BETTER WITH YOU
WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING I TRY TO FORGET ABOUT YOU
BUT THE ONLY THING I DO IS TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR YOU
THAT THE NEXT DAY WILL MAKE US FEEL REALLY REALLY GOOD
I KNOW THIS WILL ALWAYS BE
ONLY LITTLE CRUMBS THAT
WILL BRING YOU TO ME AND ME TO YOU
AND I HOPE THAT ONE DAY
I WILL LEARN TO BE HAPPY WITHOUT YOU
