Poetica is a song by Italian singer-songwriter Cesare Cremonini. It was released in 2017, as the first single from his album Possibili scenari of the same year.
The song peaked at #2 on the Italian Top Singles FIMI chart and has been certified double platinum in Italy.[1]
Song information[edit]
In the song, traditional pop-rock instruments such as guitars and keyboards meet many orchestral instruments such as piano, strings, saxophone and other brass instruments: the result is what the press has called "an ambitious return to epic pop".[2]
The song also features jazz influences. Cremonini has described the song as follows:[3]
It's a welcome cocktail for the new album, rich in serotonin and dopamine: the ingredients of happiness and union between human beings. It is a song that wants to be sung, but at the same time it does not pretend to teach singing. It's a song for those who love music and it is, once again, a song for everyone.
The song is a journey into the ups and downs of life and aims to encourage to never give up, because there is always a way to overcome obstacles. In fact, the author has also stated it is a song "written, played and sung without fear"[4] and has declared it is a dedication of love for life.[5]
