L'uomo volante (transl. "the flying man", Italian pronunciation: [ˈlwɔ.mo voˈlante]) is a 2004 song by Italian singer-songwriter Marco Masini, written with Giuseppe Dati and Goffredo Orlandi. With this song, Masini won the Sanremo Music Festival 2004, receiving as well the Volare Award for Best Lyrics and the Radio and TV press award.[1]
This was Masini's second win at the Sanremo Music Festival, after winning the newcomer section in 1990 with the song Disperato.[2] The song was released as a single, and after the festival it was included in the album Masini, a reprint of Marco's 2003 compilation album …il mio cammino.
Song information
[edit]The song is about the wish to become father: it is narrated by a man, who ideally talks to his future son/daughter. As Masini himself has stated, the song is autobiographical. The video for the song was directed by Leonardo Torrini.
