SABATO MUSICALE

As one might expect, the Italian charts are full of songs by the late and much missed Lucio Dalla.  Here is another favourite of mine:

Lucio Dalla - La sera dei miracoli

SABATO MUSICALE - LUCIO DALLA

The world of Italian music is in mourning this weekend for one of its greatest lights, the singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla, who died suddenly on Thursday morning.  He is probably best known outside Italy for the song Caruso.

As one who came to Lucio Dalla's music late in life, I appreciated the melodies as oases in a world of noise and I loved the beautifully crafted lyrics.

Grazie, Lucio.

Lucio Dalla - Cara



"Buonanotte, anima mia 
adesso spengo la luce e così sia"

"Goodnight, my soul
Now I'll put out the light and so be it."
