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
The original musical objects
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
