THE REVIEW
It's the story of a story... Everyone will say to me: what the heck are you saying?? The story of a story??? Well, yes. It's the story of a story of a first meeting. I believe everyone has a story of their first meeting. I remember mine with a Vespa and her saying to me, Well? What are you doing? Are you making up your mind? In short... I was 16 years old... But back to the song, it really is the story of a first date. The sea, the sun, the summer... the joy from the fact that she agreed to the first date. A walk, the waves, the sweet sound. Then, the first approach (1:09) and... is it happening or not? The BIG doubt... but if it goes well, otherwise what a fool I’ll make of myself... Well, in the song, she was all in... Flames and fire from 2:21... well done, huh? You got her. Now what will you do? You're 16; you're not Rocco... and she expects a lot from you... so lots of sweetness (3:00) and then... let loose... in a raw imitation of the great lover... A sweet and completely loving embrace... (4:00) that fades into a situation of infinite sweetness and love, the first love. A smart piece full of memories.
