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.

Sapessi dove l'ho messa
L'ho persa, l'ho persa
Sei nelle mie scarpe
Ti pesto in ogni istante
Ma non c'è luogo in cui non sei presente
E questo cuore non mente
Il tempo vola quando stiamo insieme
Francesco
E tra le mani solo le preghiere
Francesco
C'è ancora posto lì vicino a te?
Fra poco ti stancherai di sopportare
L'attesa estenuante del mio coraggio
Sei nelle mie tasche
In ogni dove lasci tracce
Anita mia, Anita
Nella Roma antica
Mi chiedo dove sei finita
Oltre il deserto o in un bosco
Manchi da che ti conosco
Francesco
Il tempo vola quando stiamo insieme
Francesco
E tra le mani solo le preghiere
Francesco
C'è ancora posto lì vicino a te?
Fra poco ti stancherai di sopportare
L'attesa estenuante del mio coraggio
Se non ti vedo non esisti
Se non mi vedi non resisti
Se non ti vedo non esisti
Francesco
Il tempo vola quando stiamo insieme
Francesco
E tra le mani solo le preghiere
Francesco
C'è ancora posto lì vicino a te?
Fra poco ti stancherai di sopportare
L'attesa estenuante del mio coraggio
