Brancaleone da Romana
“I am not in the least “good in all”; I am -only and simply- a lyricist of composition and arrangement, a lyricist of the plastic motives which allow me to enhance real moments, a chorister of those classical motives of the truth that surround us all, and of those specifically more familiar, simpler, modest, and less garish, more humble – and more banal almost, but exactly for being that, the most alive, human, natural, and deep”.
