The music has always been the center of gravity in the life of the Levant. "I started singing as a child," says the same Sun, "like all children improvised melodies and words with their eyes to the sky ... With the same eyes pointed toward the sky, years later I found it in the music my salvation, my outlet, my diary, my freedom. "
Around to eleven Levante began writing the first word, inspired by simple melodies that could compose with the guitar. "It was really a diary for me, music and sometimes I let a few trusted family member to read it," so goes the rocker Catania, "And that's how they found me at home, that passion that perhaps he was looking for a way to present itself to the public. " It was Aunt Tiziana, hit by a lot of enthusiasm, to bring to the pounding grandson of the first test.
But in 2001, from the beloved Sicilian sky Levante had to move down to Turin, to be honest not so fragrant orange blossoms and azure as the sky of Sicily, but certainly very challenging from a musical standpoint. In Turin in fact the teenager Levante has grown musically and knew his traveling companions ... The ephemeris.

Contare fino a dieci
Levante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tra le cose che vorrei
Nel cassetto dei miei sogni
C'era sempre stata lei
A difendermi dai guai
A restare calma
Ora che sei andata via io non so più
Contare fino a dieci
Tra le cose che non ho
Tra le cose che vorrei
C'è la forza di ignorarti
Senza scivolare mai
L'importanza che non hai
Quella che non ti darò
Per restare salda e dimostrarti che so
Contare fino a dieci
Contare fino a dieci
Non voglio più buttarmi via
E spaccarmi il cuore con la testa
Costa!
Non voglio più lasciarti entrare
Puoi restare in fondo a destra
Smetti quanto prima di sprecare la saliva, oh!
Tra le cose che vorrei
C'è comprendere il perché
Devi vomitare le tue frustrazioni su di me
Tutto il tempo che mi dai
Tutto il tempo che non ho
Per mangiar la foglia
E dimostrarti che so
Contare fino a dieci
Contare fino a dieci
Contare fino a dieci
Contare fino a dieci
Non voglio più buttarmi via
E spaccarmi il cuore con la testa
Costa!
Non voglio più lasciarti entrare
Puoi restare in fondo a destra
Smetti quanto prima di sprecare la saliva, oh!
Non voglio più buttarmi via
E spaccarmi il cuore con la testa
Costa!
Non voglio più lasciarti entrare
Puoi restare in fondo a destra
Smetti quanto prima di sprecare la saliva, oh!
