the sound coming through the open window of cars driving down the road, the hum of my computer, the sound of my mechanical keyboard.

Edited 1998


Favola di Adamo ed Eva

Max Gazzè



The CD also includes an interactive track, which can be installed and played on a Mac or Windows 95/98 PC (or later versions in compatibility mode). It consists of a game called "The Rifrullo Machine," in which you have to guess odd pairs of dishes. For each pair correctly matched, a stylized Max avatar will recite a poem by his brother Francesco Gazzè. At the end of the game, you can listen to the demo version of "Una Musica Può Fare." This game is only available in the "Sanremo Edition" of "The Tale of Adam and Eve."

The artwork on the cover is "The Original Sin," a Mozarabic miniature by Beato de El Escorial, from the Royal Library of the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

Umberto Tozzi

The song was taken from the 1979 album of the same name. Both the lyrics and music were written by Tozzi himself and Giancarlo Bigazzi. It achieved enormous success throughout Europe, especially in Italy (number two), Belgium (number five), France and Spain (number one), and Switzerland (number one for four weeks); it was certified seven times platinum for a total of approximately 700,000 copies sold. In Austria, it reached number four and in Germany, number eight.

The Italian lyrics are structured around the dual semantic meaning of the title, understood both as a noun and as a woman's name:

"...for me who without glory,
with you naked on the sofa I make cardboard stars
thinking of Gloria."

The value of the piece is also recognized in the circles of classical music. A famous anecdote by then-Corriere della Sera music critic Mario Luzzatto Fegiz recounted how the great conductor von Karajan interrupted an interview to listen to Tozzi on the radio. Subsequently, the London Symphony Orchestra honored Gloria with a highly effective symphonic transposition, which the singer-songwriter included in his 1987 collection ...minuti di un'eternità.

Cover and international success
Gloria is one of the most famous and best-selling Italian-language songs in the history of music, the subject of numerous covers and reinterpretations over time.
La cover di Laura Branigan
Nel 1982 ne è stata realizzata una celebre versione da Laura Branigan che raggiunse la seconda posizione nella Billboard Hot 100. Il brano fu cantato in inglese dalla Branigan nel film Flashdance con testo curato da Trevor Stanley Veitch, che otterrà anche il primo posto nella classifica dei singoli americana Cash Box, nel 1983.
