Leoncavallo

Le pareti (le pareti)
del cervello (cervello, cervello)
Non hanno (non hanno più, non hanno più) più
finestre (finestre, finestre, finestre)

Le pareti (le pareti)

finestre (finestre, finestre, finestre)

I colori (i colori, i colori)
del buio (del buio, del buio, del buio)

Leoncavallo is a social/cultural center in Milan founded in the turbulent 1970s when a number of workers and leftist groups occupied an abandoned warehouse. It currently hosts concerts, debates, and other cultural events. The song is composed in part from live concert material, including one presented near Leoncavallo.

The walls (the walls)
of the brain (brain, brain)
Don’t have (don’t have anymore) anymore
windows (windows, windows, windows)

The walls (the walls)

Don’t have (don’t have anymore) anymore
windows (windows, windows, windows)

The colors (the colors, the colors)
of the darkness (darkness, darkness, darkness)

Joe Patti's experimental group was released in 2014. It marks a return of the experimental, electronic-music side of Battiato, in collaboration with sound and mix engineer Pino "Pinaxa" Pischetola. Joe Patti was Battiato's maternal uncle, who emigrated to the United States in the 1920s. Six of the eleven tracks are instrumental only.
