Music as moving pictorial art
This is a series of musical paintings. They are political paintings reflecting a few visions of the world, on America (Stay Where You Are), on the horn of Africa (Land of the Dead and Dying), on history and time in development (Buchla in Australia, Konkret).

These portraits will tell a tale of age, geography and ideology. How an idea or a set of ideas that is entirely relevant at a certain place and point in time can be so totally discredited by its own realization that when some generations have passed people refuse to identify with the name of that idea. A part of the idea might show up somewhere else and be accepted but our fickle regard for fashion and insensitivity to changes in cultural expression undoes a lot of the work performed by great human beings. This is largely a western culture problem where we constantly strive for "better", "new", "bigger" and "change by superficially repainting old expressions. What we are is the result of our life experience. That is all we can ever hope to express. Our art is our constant effort to try to formulate a language for that experience. I present you ten music paintings created by themselves through me and some gifted friends.

Meteo
Raf Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ma dimmi se c'è un posto per me
In questa storia che
Mi dice così poco di te
Se guardo nel tuo sguardo
Indecifrabile

E io non so io non so mai
Cosa pensi dove vai

Su quale atlante
Sei un'incognita
Eternamente instabile
Ma indispensabile

Io non so non lo so come andrà a finire con te
Certo previsioni troppo buone qui non ce n'è
Ma non riesco più a dividere
Questo punto di domanda da me
Fino a che io non so come andrà a finire con te

E a volte io mi chiedo se
Potrei fare a meno di te
Sto per farlo ma precipito ancora nel tuo sguardo
Senza difendermi

E tutto il mondo annega con te
Dentro a un vortice che
Cancella i dubbi e i perché
Perché non sempre tutto è logico
È come un meteo

Io non lo so, non lo so come andrà a finire con te
Certo previsioni troppo buone qui non ce n'è
Ma non riesco più a dividere
Questo punto di domanda da me
Fino a che io non so come andrà a finire con te

E ora che piove
È strano perché è cominciato così
All'improvviso
Va be' ma tanto lo so che prima o poi
Tornerà il sole
E intanto questo tempo ti assomiglia sempre di più

Ma non riesco più a dividere
questo punto di domanda da me

fino a che io non so come andrà a finire con te
fino a che io non so come andrà a finire con te

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Raf's song "Meteo" speak to the uncertainty and unpredictability of a romantic relationship. The singer is addressing their partner, asking if there is a place for them in the story of their relationship, which seems to reveal very little about the partner's true self. The partner's eyes are described as indecipherable, and they are portrayed as both indispensable and eternally unstable.

Throughout the song, the singer expresses their confusion about the partner's intentions and desires, wondering where they are going and what they are thinking. The unpredictability of the relationship is compared to the weather, with the line "È come un meteo" ("It's like the weather") serving as a metaphor for the partner's behavior. The singer acknowledges that there are no guarantees in this relationship, no clear predictions about what the future holds, but they cannot help but be drawn back to the partner's gaze.

The chorus of the song expresses the singer's uncertainty about the future with their partner. While they cannot predict how things will turn out, they also cannot imagine separating from the partner, as represented by the line "Ma non riesco più a dividere / Questo punto di domanda da me" ("But I can no longer separate / This question mark from myself").

Overall, "Meteo" is a song that delves into the complex and often fraught nature of romantic relationships, acknowledging the uncertainty and unpredictability that can make them both exciting and challenging.
