Impressioni Di Settembre
Premiata Forneria Marconi Lyrics

Premiata Forneria Marconi's Impressioni Di Settembre is a song that captures the beauty and tranquility of the Italian countryside. The lyrics describe the singer's surroundings as they search for the sun, but find themselves surrounded by dew drops and mist instead. The stillness of the landscape is contrasted by the singer's own heartbeat, which beats softly as they breathe in the scent of the earth and think of a loved one.

As the singer surveys the lush greenery around them, they are struck by the sight of a horse standing still in a field. Like the singer, the horse seems to be lost in thought and contemplation. The singer takes a step towards the animal, but it bolts away, leaving them alone. The final lines of the song suggest that while the day will progress as usual, the singer's personal journey of self-discovery and introspection will continue.
