A song for the summer: “salt flavor” by Gino Paoli
Salt flavor (1963) – “salt flavor, sea flavor / you have on the skin, you have on the lips / when you get out of the water and come to lie down / close to me, close to me.”
One of the songs of the summer par excellence, a great fresco of lived life and of Tremiti dello Spirito: he is painted by Gino Paoli, a Genoese boy in those years kissed by the most clear and very effective inspiration muse also in the chosen tones for a fixed reference e
Unreliable. Arranged by Ennio Morricone, “salt flavor” is presented at Cantagiro, where the effects are immediate. In the cover notes it is written: “restless poet, but faithful to love, in ‘flavor of salt’ Gino Paoli evokes the solar moments full of torpor and the visions that leak in the eyes a man of a man who has closed his world around the miracle of two who love each other”.
This news is, for a kind concession of the author and the publisher, by “linked to a grain of sand”, written by Enzo Gentile and published by Melampo Editore.
