• Con le Doctor Martens blu: A love song addressing the end of an illusion, this track delves into the complexities of life in one’s thirties. The song is dedicated to the mother of past love and features a memorable reference to the celebrated Doctor Martens.
• Muoviti: Born from the artist’s own experiences, “Muoviti” is an autobiographical piece emphasizing the importance of movement in life. It explores the idea that even small physical movements can elevate one’s mood and bring light to shadowed aspects.
• Marilyn Monroe: A historical love piece paying tribute to Marilyn Monroe, the track explores the idealized and tormented nature of unattainable love. The song is constructed with a mixture of quotes, inspired by a book of interviews by music journalist Paola Maugeri.
• Scendi: One of the oldest pieces on the album, “Scendi” is a heartfelt love song, a serenade sung at the window for a past and unforgettable love. It stands out for its emotional and less intellectual approach, conveying a deeply personal connection.

• Leggere: Centered around the concept of reading in its broadest sense, “Leggere” combines titles of books with the artist’s reflections. The song aims to remind listeners that, despite feelings of loneliness, they may represent the sun to others.
• Come un cane: A song written within the parameters of solitude, “Come un cane” is not an ode to loneliness but rather an exploration of solitude. It features a subdued and monotonous vocal tone, creating an atmospheric and surreal ambiance.
• Mare Mare: A tribute to Franco Battiato, “Mare Mare” offers a musical experience imbued with literary quotes and reflections on the present times. The melody draws inspiration from Battiato’s famous refrain, creating a unique fusion of emotions and reflections.
• Frida Kahlo: One of the more eccentric songs on the album, “Frida Kahlo” aims to create a kitsch piece, a kraut rock of the soul. Combining electronica with raunchy Brit-rock influences, the track explores the artistic and experimental side of Roman Mattia Rame.
• Alle Anime: A poetic ode sung to the moon and the soul, “Alle Anime” features surreal images and personal mispronunciations. The refrain includes a quote from Montale, emphasizing the urgency of change and the imperative to follow life joyfully and lovingly.

Each track contributes to the album’s richness, offering a unique perspective on themes of love, solitude, and the quest for identity amid cosmic and internal breakdowns.
