Dario Margeli
Il sole e le palme

If you feel like remembering certain pleasant moments from the past, perhaps the song il sole e le palme by Dario Margeli might help you. The song has deep and meditative lyrics. It is also available on iTunes.

The idea of the song stems from Dario's practice of a form of visual meditation called Wicca, which is achieved through memorizing details, and as the practice grows, the ability to recreate desired images in one's mind increases accordingly.

From the song's lyrics: "..I would like to give new life, To those memories in my mind ..And then Focus on those lights Of when you took the sea, In the heart of the night"

Musically, "Il Sole e le Palme" is composed at 112bpm. It has a sound between the sophisti-pop of Swing Out Sister and the refined rock of late 1980s REM. The vocal line derives from improvisation on the Middle Eastern musical scale Chahargah, adapted to the Western musical scale. The production also features electric guitar solos reminiscent of Duane Eddy.

In the past, Dario Margeli's works have found a place in the world of Italian journalism; particularly the track that made him more famous (Buongiorno fino a quando servo), which became a viral success thanks to numerous articles appearing on online newspapers, including the Italian edition of Vice, which compares him to Franco Battiato. Even non-musical newspapers, such as "Quotidiano Finanziario", have talked about him.
