Fading From View

In “Fading from View,” Giuseppe trades in synth pads for steel guitar, letting his pain twang across the plains like a cowboy who never owned a horse, but definitely cried into one. It’s his first foray into country music—and somehow, it fits a little too well.

This is classic country Giuseppe: lost time, dead dreams, family dysfunction, and just enough poetic nonsense to make you wonder if he’s okay. The chorus, “Feels like I’m fading… like a dream that never came true,” sounds like something you'd hear at 2AM in a dive bar while a trucker softly weeps into his third beer and fourth divorce.

He sings of “50 years gone in the blink of an eye,” but you get the feeling Giuseppe blinked a lot, and missed all of them on purpose. There's the usual heartbreak, but now it’s wrapped in twang and sadness with lyrics like “Had a son — he was my father,” which sounds less like a metaphor and more like a Maury episode that spiraled.

By the second verse, he’s fully leaning into country tropes: lost children, betrayal, regret, and possibly a dog that left him emotionally (though he never confirms if the dog is real or metaphorical). The song’s slow, weary rhythm makes it sound like it’s trying to fall asleep halfway through—just like Giuseppe.

And the finale? “Say so long… say farewell…”—a broken whisper under the shimmer of a sad slide guitar, as Giuseppe disappears into the sunset of his own pity party, riding a mechanical bull of raw emotion.

It’s country. It’s tragic. It’s unintentionally hilarious. It’s Giuseppe—fading from view, but never from your memory. Unfortunately.
