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.

Levante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a novembre alle sei di sera
nei tuoi occhi è primavera
i tuoi capelli san di mela
Canottieri in canotiera
avranno freddo ma chi se ne frega
ma che pensiero è
camminiamo che qui si gela
tanto io resto
dell'idea che non avrei modo di star peggio
Anche se l'acqua sull'asfalto fa rumore
tu suoni piano piano le parole
capisco molto bene il tuo problema
la partita iva non va aperta
Massaggi quella sigaretta da mezz ora
è spenta ma un silenzio la consuma
la dea del fumo è tutta mia
la dea del fumo è tutta mia
Fai di me ciò che vuoi
tanto io resto
dell'idea che non avrei modo di star peggio
Fai di me ciò che vuoi
tanto io resto
dell'idea che non avrei modo di star peggio
Chiamami come vuoi
anche Roberto
basta che il mio nome faccia rima con concerto

As they walk, the canoers on the river may be cold, but the couple does not care. Despite the noisy sounds of water on the pavement, the lover speaks gently to the singer, and she understands the lover's problems, including the issue of not being able to open her VAT.
