Alzo Le Mani

In 'Alzo Le Mani,' Fabi, Silvestre e Gazzè craft a poignant reflection on the myriad sounds that make up the tapestry of life. The song opens with vivid imagery of everyday noises: the rain in the afternoon, cicadas in July, and the sound of a ferry docking. These sounds are not just background noise; they are the essence of life itself, each carrying its own story and emotion. The artists acknowledge that their music, while capable of entertaining and evoking emotions, can never truly replicate the raw, unfiltered sounds of life.

The chorus, 'Io non suonerò mai così,' translates to 'I will never sound like this,' emphasizing the artists' recognition of the limitations of their craft. They can play, entertain, and evoke feelings, but they cannot capture the pure, unadulterated essence of life's sounds. This realization is not just a matter of difference; it is a 'battaglia persa' or a lost battle, leading them to 'Alzo le mani'—a gesture of surrender.

The song continues to explore various sounds that hold deep personal and cultural significance: a ringing phone, a father's typing, the cannon of Gianicolo at noon, and the breath of a child. Each sound is a piece of the puzzle that forms our experiences and memories. The artists convey a sense of humility and reverence for these sounds, acknowledging that their music, no matter how beautiful, can never fully encapsulate the richness of these everyday moments. The song is a tribute to the symphony of life, a humble acknowledgment of the beauty in the ordinary, and a recognition of the limitations of art in capturing the full spectrum of human experience.
