Il grande cielo - Mimmo Parisi (Words and music by C. Parisi)

"...The fact is that I am re-reading Spoon River that like many I read as a boy, I must have been 18 years old. I liked it, and I do not know why I had not liked, perhaps because these characters was something about me. Then I happened to read it, two years ago, and I realized that it was not aged at all, I promised myself that as soon as some spark had just revealed itself in my mind, I would talk too. Obviously, the reference in the song you do not notice, yes, I mean that I do not direct quotes, but the air you breathe in my song is that of the hill American."
