L'anno che verrà
Lucio Dalla
One day I met a misician colleague of mine, and talking we found that both performed a music concert for New Year's Day, and both we closed the concert with "L'anno che verrà" by Lucio Dalla. The destiny.
The song is set during the world war (supposedly the first) and talks about a man that is writing a letter for a his far away friend.
In this letter it is hironically told the story of civilians that were living the war and were hoping for its end in the new year, and finally meet the peace.
Optimism! The war will end soon! This is the message. We still hope it today.
