Singer-songwriter Michelangelo Capraro writes songs that are melancholy, questioning, and tell stories of life beyond the daydreams and heartbreaks of youth. Michelangelo began a michelangelo moment in 2024 with the release of his debut album, “It Was Lost Somehow.”
Music project, a michelangelo moment, is the brainchild of California-based singer-songwriter Michelangelo Capraro. His creative path began in the Los Angeles alternative rock scene of the 1990s, now in San Francisco, a michelangelo moment represents his return to the world of songwriting. In 2024, a michelangelo moment debuted with the album 'It Was Lost Somehow.'.
I love melancholy music - Rufus Wainwright and Radiohead are huge influences. As a kid, my parents listened to mainly traditional Italian songs... and Elvis. Lots of Elvis. As a child of the 80’s and 90’s I fell in love with Crowded House, Paul Simon, Counting Crows, and Gillian Welch. Today, Harry Styles, Bruno Major, Laufey, and Lizzy McAlpine really inspire me - so many different influences have left imprints on me and at different times I feel them emerging into my music.
I love music of all kinds, but when I sit down to write a song, it almost always ends up being something melancholy and introspective. It’s just where my heart goes.
I wrote “When You’re Young” to capture that reflective feeling when I think of the dreams I had in my youth. I flip through my old journals and see the same dreams throughout the years. Core dreams that don’t seem to change. I wanted to capture that feeling we get when we are reminded of those core dreams that you just can’t shake - they are still possible.
Some people like to use music to escape the pain and the sadness. I like music that helps me wallow in in the sadness.
From the very first guitar arpeggio, It Was Lost Somehow establishes a michelangelo moment as a refined artist with a distinct voice.

I Wish I Was There is a nostalgic and intense song that fills your heart with genuine emotion. The almost muffled groove pulses like a heartbeat, enhancing the song’s intimate feel.

Acoustic instruments subtly intertwine with exquisite synths, and a soft rhythm section adds tenderness and sensuality. Graceful and soulful vocals fill the song with meaning, giving them insight and sincerity.
