Lucio Battisti - Dio mio no (Still/Pseudo Video) A guy like this comments on the video on YT (I’ve been laughing for 10 minutes):
"Question: why did Lucio Battisti use this song title? At first glance, it seems like a curse, hoping something happens with a girl, where just her arriving for dinner is already an achievement. But why invoke God? Is it just for transgression, or is there a hidden secret? The answer can be found in the song Una Giornata Uggiosa, but to understand it, the release of the album Hegel was necessary, particularly the video associated with the song Hegel, and then the book by his grandson, il Grande Inganno, released at the end of 2019 when the coronavirus pandemic hit. The titles of Lucio Battisti's songs are expressions of his thoughts, much like the paintings bearing the same titles as the songs left in his family home, which can be found in the book il Grande Inganno. Lucio Battisti tells the story of Jesus starting from Palm Sunday, where he replaces palms and olive trees with cherry trees. I Giardini di Marzo corresponds to Palm Sunday, and the beginning of the song Una Giornata Uggiosa, before he starts singing

represents the last part of the crucifixion where he asks to drink because he is thirsty and then dies. In this part, he does not sing, and in particular, he does not say “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” precisely because he made the song Dio Mio No, which takes on the meaning that when I recount dying crucified, I will not say this phrase “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”
This song hides other secrets, like the five times he says Baldan to indicate to the musician to make the organ moan, and then at the end says Batto 4 and I finish. This has various interpretations, all tied to a phrase found again in the song Una Giornata Uggiosa, namely the end of rest after death, that is, rebirth.
In the song HiFi, he says the voice meows and the organ that moans, thus also calling into question the song Maledetto Gatto, where at the moment 3:16, you can hear the moo of a calf.
All this makes one think of the day May 5, 2021, but according to the Julian calendar, so May 18, 2021, at 3:16, which would be the hour of rebirth as described in the song Cosa Succederà Alla Ragazza, but also to the days Thursday, November 4, 2021, and Friday, November 5, 2021, which should correspond to l'Apparenza and the publication of the complete work l'Apparenza by Lucio Battisti, where fortunately the wait for this great love, which is l'Apparenza, ends for botanical reasons of economy and practicality.
Botanical because Lucio Battisti did not come into the world to live like a vegetable but to leave us a masterpiece and within it, a message for all humanity.
Of economy because the work is composed of two dice and sold at the price of one, thus at a price of
