Lucio Battisti Una giornata uggiosa 1980 Full album - video Dailymotion
Bourgeois disco, flabby, tired, gray, foggy, pompous, and male-centric as always in the lyrics, with narrative passages that make imagination scrape against the asphalt. That said, I still personally like it for the mood (mood has to do with humidity), for the musicality, yes popular, but beautifully synthetic, with bass parts, various guitars (especially those in the choruses of the title track), inspired keyboards, and hi-hat; and to break the flow of disdain that I feel towards the historical lyrics of the lyricist/SIAE official, I must admit that the line: "I dream of embracing a true friend who doesn't want to take revenge on me for his bitter moment and decent people who refuse to be prey to easy enthusiasms and trendy ideologies" remains, in my personal opinion, one of the most brilliant outbursts of fury, malaise, and revelation of Italian pop music, so much so that I could wish it etched on my tombstone. Recorded in London, appropriate artwork. Beautiful, the rain.
