Life Is But a Breath

Admirable thought for two great Italian artists!

I am particularly attached to this song. It reminds me of when I heard it for the first time as a child, what an emotion.

Lucio Dalla, an artist's soul; I remember him strolling in the summer through the villa of Castellammare di Stabia (he used to moor his boat in the tourist port). An exquisite person who also gave a concert in my city some years ago.

Great tribute to the Great Lucio, who is always among us. I have already said that the Great ones do not die... they fade away. I often saw Lucio going to buy the newspaper at P.zza G. Belli in Trastevere years ago, when I lived there. He was modest, reserved. I never approached him, but I would have dreamed of inviting him to my house, a little further from there. Perhaps if I had ventured, he would have come, I am sure. He was a great poet of Music and will go down in history for having left us 600 wonderful songs with wonderful lyrics. Marco Travaglio, who does not always seem likable to me in his comments, said something that struck me and that I share: "Dalla was an Angel full of hair just so as not to let anyone notice". Goodbye Lucio

This topic is beautiful, even moving.

Thank you. It is easy to write when the words come from the heart.

It is rare to find complete artists and Dalla is certainly a great one !!

From Dalla, I love 4 songs that are little mentioned by everyone, but which reflect his enormous fantasy. The fantasy that as adults we all lose a bit, but which instead is a source of happiness in children and perhaps even in adults, if indeed we didn't lose it.

The titles in question are "La notte dei miracoli", "Il parco della luna", "L'ultima luna" and "La signora".

I love to remember him like this.

Ciao.

I love them too and I find them brilliant... I wouldn't know which one I like more. Perhaps La notte dei Miracoli.
