His first instrument was the flute, which he played at the San Pietro a Majella conservatoire. After graduating, he began performing with the Gruppo operaio 'E Zezi di Pomigliano d'Arco, playing at numerous festivals and recording a few albums. Sepe soon, however, became more interested in jazz and learned to play the saxophone. He continued recording and began performing with many prominent musicians, like Nino D'Angelo, Gino Paoli, Eduardo de Crescenzo, Mia Martini, Teresa de Sio, Roberto de Simone, Peppino Gagliardi, Nino Bonocore and Roberto Murolo. His band, which played under several names, varied widely, from purely wind instruments to big bands. He also composed music for the theatre, cinema and ballet.

In 1994, Sepe recorded Vite Perdite, which was much more successful than any of his previous niche recordings. It was dubbed album of year by Rockerilla, one of the one hundred greatest albums of the 1990s by Rockstar[disambiguation needed], and received a rave review from Folk-Roots, an English magazine.

Nu hoppar haren kråka
På ängens vita gräs
Nu glider gladan slint i snögan snår
I långa lopp och längslar min kropp i molom går
Ty slokar sol på nattosamma näs

Stjärnor i skelom
Dudom delom

Vind går i felom
Spelom!

Nu hoppar haren kråka
På ängens vita gräs
Nu glider gladan slint i snögan snår
I långa lopp och längslar min kropp i molom går
Ty slokar sol på nattosamma näs

Stjärnor i skelom
Dudom delom
Vind går i felom
Spelom!

Nu hoppar haren kråka
På ängens vita gräs
Nu glider gladan slint i snögan snår
I långa lopp och längslar min kropp i molom går
Ty slokar sol på nattosamma näs

Stjärnor i skelom
Dudom delom

Vind går i felom
Spelom!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Daniele Sepe's song "Nu Hoppar Haren Kråka" can be interpreted as an expression of the joy and beauty of nature. The first verse describes a hare jumping on the white grass of a field, while a kestrel flies over the snowy bushes in the distance. The singer portrays their own body as moving slowly and yearningly through the landscape. The mention of the sun slouching on the nose of the singer may be a metaphor for the end of the day or the passage of time.

The chorus, repeated thrice, consists of nonsensical words and sounds that seem to mimic the flitting and twisting of the wind. It can be viewed as an expression of the singer's delight in nature's randomness and lack of structure.

The song may be seen as an ode to the beauty of the world and a call to revel in the present moment. The lyrics evoke a sense of playfulness and simplicity, and the use of nonsense words and sounds adds to the childlike quality of the song.
