Verdena rehearse every day (when they're not on tour) in their garage, where they have built a recording studio called the Henhouse. The hen-house is their sound laboratory--full many different instruments, like guitars, amplifiers, rhodes, mellotrons, and Korg synths. No digital stuff is allowed to get in!
They view the song like a painter would a picture: to work on by carefully adding more and more layers, yet keeping the big picture in mind. The result is much more than a simple song.
Verdena’s songs, which are stellar in and of themselves, have a new added value since the lyrics are written uniquely. They are not penned in a narrative, logical way. Rather, they follow a stream-of-unconscious style that is closer to the Anglo-American rock language than to the syncope traditions of the Italian language, which are so far from the aesthetics of pure rock. Alberto’s lyrics have always been one of the main characteristics of Verdena that stand out from the usual and reiterated formula of the Italian rock music.

Perfect Day
Verdena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wind blows out my thoughts
Just to hear them out
The stars in her eyes
Grind the river banks
And tears into her eyes
Such a perfect day
You know it's such a perfect day
'cause it's such a perfect day
The lyrics of Verdena's song Perfect Day seem to depict a sense of liberation and freedom. The start of the song describes the feeling of being proud to be used or to be a part of something bigger,suggesting that the singer is no longer constrained and can let go of their inhibitions. The mention of wind blowing out their thoughts indicates a release of mental burdens, allowing them to speak their mind openly. The stars in her eyes may possibly allude to the inspiration and wonder that comes with newfound freedom as they can now see and experience the world with a fresh perspective.
In the next verse, the river banks being ground by the stars in her eyes may be a metaphor for the singer's surroundings being molded by their newfound boldness and spirit. Tears filling her eyes could suggest an overwhelming emotional response, perhaps driven by a feeling of exhilaration or release. These experiences blend together to produce a perfect day, one that is so perfect that the singer finds themselves talking loudly once again. Perhaps this refers to them coming into their own and being unafraid to express themselves.
