LA RECENSIONE

Three Steps Forward. A simple title for an album that is anything but simple. It is one of the best things made in Italy in this decade; it could be that I have an imprinting towards this album, but I find it of excellent quality, though for those used to lighter listens, it may be challenging, perhaps due to some tracks like La fine di Pierrot or Mi arrendo.

There are a total of 14 tracks, including the two interludes Ramon 2 and Mexicostipation (with the latter being a one-minute masterpiece), and you can find folk-rock pieces like Il mistico or La fine di Pierrot (which I think has Silvestriani influences), moments of world music with Ramon and Non ricordo più, and moments where French and Spanish take the lead (Macrame les doigts, Que nadie sepa mi sufrir). Three pieces deserve special mention: Sempre allegri with lyrics written together with Dario Fo, the melancholic ballad Negli occhi guardo poco, and Mi arrendo, the most electronic of the lot.

Aside from that, there's nothing else to say; listen to it because it is an album that deserves more attention.

No te asombres si te digo lo que fuiste
Una ingrata con mi pobre corazón
Porque el fuego de tus lindos ojos negros
Alumbraron el camino de otro amor
Y pensar que te adoraba ciegamente
Que a tu lado como nunca me sentí
Y por esas cosas raras de la vida
Sin el beso de tu boca yo me vi

Amor de mis amores, alba mía, que me hiciste
Que no puedo consolarme sin poderme contemplar
Ya pagaste mal mi cariño tan sincero
Solo conseguirás que no te nombre nunca más
Amor de mis amores, si dejaste de quererme
No hay cuidado que la gente de esto no se enterará
Que gano con decir que tu amor cambió mi suerte?
Se burlarán de mí, que nadie sepa mi sufrir

Y pensar que te adoraba ciegamente
Que a tu lado como nunca me sentí
Y por esas cosas raras de la vida
Sin el beso de tu boca yo me vi
