The album opens and closes with two songs that alone would secure a ticket to eternity, "Lontano lontano" and "Vedrai vedrai", two titles that are more than just a simple repeated word and risk truly remaining among the most beautiful episodes of our song.
The evocative power that Tenco's voice possesses is a miracle that is renewed with every listen, because Luigi is, first and foremost, his voice. This statement may seem trivial, but it's not uncommon to encounter singers lacking depth who seem to have their heads who knows where when interpreting their own texts. Legend has it, for example, that among the worst readers of their own verses are even some great poets of the Italian twentieth century (just a legend or is there a kernel of truth?). When we encounter a Tenco song, we see it and we blindly believe in what it says. Try listening to "Io sono uno", "Uno di questi giorni ti sposerò", or "Se sapessi come fai", you'll find more truth in those few minutes of song than in the entire discography of some self-proclaimed artist who built their career on heaps of lies. Another beautiful piece contained in the album is "Un giorno dopo l'altro", a song that leaves little hope for illusions; but seen from another perspective, it could represent a provocation aimed at awakening consciences that have been asleep for too long.
Ok, the arrangements might be a bit dated and reflect the years in which the album was recorded (1966) but Luigi's music, his lyrics, and above all his voice, are timeless.

01 Mi sono innamorato di te (02:50)
Mi sono innamorato di te
perché
non avevo niente da fare
il giorno
volevo qualcuno da incontrare
la notte
volevo qualcuno da sognare
Mi sono innamorato di te
perché
non potevo più stare sola
il giorno
volevo parlare dei miei sogni
la notte
parlare d'amore
Ed ora
che avrei mille cose da fare
io sento i miei sogni svanire
ma non so più pensare
a nient'altro che a te
Mi sono innamorato di te
e adesso
non so neppure io cosa fare
il giorno
mi pento d'averti incontrato
la notte
ti vengo a cercare.
