La primavera

The making...

This song talks about the turning points that arise from time to time in life. In these moments everything changes and all certainties collapse. These are difficult moments on the one hand and inspiring on the other. In those circumstances everything is 'reborn', as in an inner spring

The original musical objects

The basic musical object (m027) was written in February 2004. During the production phase the speed was increased to 130 bpm and the sound of the harmonica was introduced, which has always evoked in me moments linked to nature in bloom. Particular attention was paid to percussive timbres which are the result of the concurrent use of four categories of instruments: percussion, acoustic drums, 808-type electronic drums and drums built with sound fxs.

 

The instrumental coda is the development of a musical object written almost 20 years later (m008, February 2023) with a quite '70s' sound composed of analog synths, Hammond organs and human choirs.

Original lyrics (in Italian)

La primavera

Ritornerà

Aria leggera

Di libertà

Io non sapevo che fosse qua

In fondo a questa normalità

 

Che tu sia vera

E non si sa

Che è quasi sera

Ma poi chissà

Io non credevo di essere qua

Seguendo un giorno l'ingenuità

 

Quando il gioco finirà

E la luce se ne andrà

La campana del mattino suonerà

 

E la sera tornerai

E qualche volta penserai

Al profumo di una sola felicità

Che non ritornerà

English translation

Springtime will return

Light air of freedom

I didn't know it was here

At the bottom of this normality

 

May you be true?

And we don't know

Is it almost evening?

But then who knows

I didn't think I was here

Following one day the naivety

 

When the game will end

And the light will go away

The morning bell will ring

 

And in the evening when you’ll return

sometimes you will think

to the scent of a single happiness

which won't come back
