The making...

This song is made up of a single musical object (m011), written in a few hours one evening in March 1986 (hence the title: 3 86 = March 1986). It speaks of the birth of a feeling of love, with all that entails. Where everything changes, moments of perplexity and fear arise, immediately overwhelmed by the irresistible force of passion. The vocal part was recovered from the original tape of the time, every instrumental part was redone in 2024. The sound tries to envelop the listener and transport him gently into a distant landscape. Immersive echoes play an important role. Structurally it is a classic song form, the verse is divided into two successive phrases with the first one which follows the tonic progression of the beginning and the second which is made up of ascending chords. The chorus, on the other hand, modulates in a minor key and reintroduces the augmented fifths already present in other songs on the Album. Even the sound of the viola in the central and final part reminds other songs on the album, in order to constitute a characterizing and unifying element

Original lyrics (in Italian)

E non e’ certo facile

Come il giro di DO

E pensi che sia difficile

Che ti possa modificare un po’

 

Ma intanto sei già cambiato

Perche’ sorridi di piu’

Perche’ ti basta pensare

 

Al tuo dolcissimo amore

Che non ti guarda mai

Negli occhi ma nel cuore

Non lo dimentichi mai

Il tuo dolcissimo amore

Che vive solo per te

 

Ma c’e’ sempre un po’ di paura

Perche’ potrebbe andar via

Perche’ portebbe morire

Magari solo per te

Per te che sei già cambiato

Perche’ non sei piu’ tu

Perche’ ti basta sapere che c’e’

 

Il tuo dolcissimo amore

Che non ti lascera’

Senza occhi e senza cuore

Non ti dimentichera’

Il tuo dolcissimo amore

Che vive solo per te

English translation

And it's certainly not easy

Like the 50’s progression

And you think it's difficult

That can change you a little

 

But you've already changed

Why you do smile more

Because you just need to think

 

To your sweetest love

Who never looks at you

In the eyes but in the heart

You never forget it

Your sweetest love

Who lives only for you

 

But there is always a bit of fear

Because it could go away

Because it would lead to death

Maybe only for you

For you who have already changed

Because it's not you anymore

Because you just need to know that it's there

 

Your sweetest love

That won't leave you

Without eyes and without heart

She won't forget you

Your sweetest love

Who lives only for you
