He was born in Lebanon, the son of an Italian diplomat and an American singer. According to legend, he learned to play the guitar aged 10 to impress a German girl in his class.
As a rather cosmopolitan teenager Mazzolini began a career in a variety of jazz, rock and punk bands before meeting Rome, Italy based producer Pierluigi Giombini. Both shared a passion for synthesizers and started working together. The first release, Masterpiece, was a minor hit in 1982.
His footnote in charts history is his 1983 release I like Chopin (popular opinion notwithstanding, the piano motif herein is not a Chopin composition), which topped continental European charts for weeks.
The follow-up song Lunatic and the eponymous album also entered the Top 20 across Europe, but the 1984 album Telephone Mama was less successful.
Since then Mazzolini has released more albums. Not counting the occasional hit compilation with yet another "I Like Chopin" remix, the latest work was produced in 1997, an Italian only album called "Viewpoint".
Recently, Gazebo released a new album "The Syndrone" (2008).
Alice in Wonderland
Gazebo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken metronome you tore apart
Tick-Tacking through my memories or fantasies
You're the rhythm of my fears
I wish I had you
Take away this bleeding hand
Bleeding thorns I brought from No man's land
Colouring my empty life of redder shades
I wish I had you cause you're
Alice in Wonderland
Dancing away in slow motion
Alice in Wonderland
Fooling away with time
Cause you live in between the rhyme
Of my rainbow tales
Take away this old man there
Put him in a place where he won't scare
Poor innocent passers-by
His wrinkled face
Has lived through thousand fairy tales
He knows all of you cause you're
Alice in Wonderland
Dancing away in slow motion
Alice in Wonderland
Fooling away with time
Cause you live in between the rhyme
Of my rainbow tales
Will I remember your face ?
And in the morning
Will I remember your smile ?
Through out the fantasy
September rain is here and all I know
Is that you're gone now
Alice in Wonderland
Dancing away in slow motion
Alice in Wonderland
Fooling away with time
Cause you live in between the rhyme
Of my rainbow tales
The song "Alice In Wonderland" by Gazebo portrays the thoughts and emotions of someone who is struggling to move on from a past relationship or love. The lyrics begin by making references to a broken heart and a destroyed metronome, which represents the shattered relationship, and the ticking and tocking rhythm that is associated with the memories and fantasies that come with it. The singer is lamenting over the fact that their fears are still being controlled by these memories, while also expressing a wish to have their lost love back, as they believe that they embody the character of Alice in Wonderland, who represents a playful, whimsical, and adventurous spirit.
The next verse talks about a bleeding hand and thorns from "No man's land". This could represent the pain and suffering that the singer experiences during the aftermath of the breakup, which has tainted their otherwise "empty" life in a "redder shade". The singer fantasizes about having their partner back, as they feel that they are living in between the lines of their rainbow tales, which represents a colorful and vibrant life. The final verse speaks of an old man, who has lived through thousands of fairy tales and knows all about the lost partner. The singer is begging to take away this memory of the old man, so that they won't scare them or any innocent passerby.
Line by Line Meaning
Take away this broken heart
Remove the pain of my shattered emotions
Broken metronome you tore apart
You were the cause of the destruction of the rhythm of my life
Tick-Tacking through my memories or fantasies
You haunt my thoughts and emotions with memories and dreams
You're the rhythm of my fears
You are the source of my anxieties and worries
I wish I had you
I long for your presence and comfort
Take away this bleeding hand
Take away the pain of my wounded hand
Bleeding thorns I brought from No man's land
I carry the scars of past battles and struggles
Colouring my empty life of redder shades
My life is dull and meaningless without you
In my foolish dreams that fade
In my naive daydreams that eventually disappear
Alice in Wonderland
You are my surreal escape from reality
Dancing away in slow motion
You move gracefully and leisurely through my mind
Fooling away with time
Wasting time with you is worth it because you bring me joy
Cause you live in between the rhyme
Your existence is poetic and magical
Of my rainbow tales
Of my fanciful stories and dreams
Take away this old man there
Remove the elderly man from my sight
Put him in a place where he won't scare
Place him somewhere less frightening
Poor innocent passers-by
Unsuspecting bystanders that he may intimidate
His wrinkled face
His aged and worn appearance
Has lived through thousand fairy tales
He has lived through many incredible experiences
He knows all of you cause you're
He recognizes all of you because you are also magical and surreal
Will I remember your face?
Will your image stay with me?
And in the morning
When I wake up
Will I remember your smile?
Will your joyful expression be etched in my memory?
Through out the fantasy
In my imaginative realm
September rain is here and all I know
The weather is changing and all I can think of
Is that you're gone now
Is that I have lost you

What a magical and dreamy atmosphere! Heard it not until 1997 on the Finnish national radio played by DJ Tapani Ripatti in his radio show’s italo disco special.
Fell in love immediately! Pura magica!
