Anche Tu

Eros Ramazzotti's song 'Anche Tu' delves into the themes of loss, memory, and the passage of time. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of longing and contemplation about those who are no longer present. The song opens with a question about the existence of an angel for those who cannot be reborn, hinting at a spiritual or existential crisis. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is filled with reflections on absence and the impact it has on those left behind.

The recurring mention of Marco, who preaches on Sundays, and the people who pray with him, suggests a search for solace and meaning in the face of loss. This religious imagery contrasts with the personal and intimate memories shared in the lyrics, creating a poignant juxtaposition between communal faith and individual grief. The line 'Anche tu non sei piu qui' (You are no longer here) is repeated, emphasizing the permanence of absence and the inevitability of moving forward despite the void left by loved ones.

Ramazzotti also touches on the idea of past conversations and shared moments, which now only exist as memories. The lyrics 'Giorno passati a parlasi di pui ti riccordi?' (Days spent talking more, do you remember?) evoke a sense of nostalgia and a longing for a time when things felt more real and genuine. The song concludes with a bittersweet acknowledgment of the things left unsaid, encapsulated in the line 'A tutto quello che non ti ho mai detto' (To everything I never told you). This final sentiment underscores the theme of unspoken words and the lingering impact of those who are no longer present.
