Gli Impermeabili
Paolo Conte · Gong-Oh [2011]
serrande abbassate
pioggia sulle insegne delle notti andate
devo pensarci su pensarci su
ma dipender dipender
quale storia tu vuoi che io racconti?
ah! non so dir di no, no, no no no
e ricomincer
come da un rendez-vous
parlando piano tra noi due
Scendo gi
a prendermi un caff
scusami un attimo
passa una mano qui, cos,
sopra i miei lividi
ma come piove bene suglimpermeabili
Gli Impermeabili by Paolo Conte
Paolo Conte's 'Gli Impermeabili' stands as a quintessential example of Italian neofolk, blending poetic lyricism with a haunting, atmospheric sound. Recorded for the 2011 album 'Gong-Oh', the track exemplifies Conte's signature style, characterized by his distinctive vocal delivery and introspective songwriting that often explores themes of urban isolation and emotional vulnerability. The recording features a sparse arrangement that allows the narrative of the lyrics to take center stage, creating a somber yet captivating listening experience. As part of Conte's extensive discography, this work reflects his continued evolution within the genre, maintaining the melancholic tone that has defined his career since the 1980s. The song remains a staple for fans seeking the raw, poetic depth typical of his later period.
