Louis

Franco De Vita's song 'Louis' tells the story of an everyman with dreams of musical stardom. The lyrics paint a picture of a man named Louis, who is ready to leave for work just before six in the morning, his taxi waiting below. Despite the years he has spent in the city, trying to make ends meet, his true aspiration is to sing. Louis is described as a bit of a poet, having written songs and being deeply passionate about The Beatles, who play from his music player. The song captures the essence of a dreamer who is caught between the mundanity of daily life and the pursuit of his artistic dreams.

The narrative of 'Louis' also touches on the personal responsibilities that weigh on him. He has a wife and child to support, which does not deter him from dreaming. His appearance, with long hair down to his shoulders, is out of fashion, but Louis is unfazed by this; his focus remains on his desire to sing. The chorus of the song, where people shout his stage name, suggests a vision of success and recognition that Louis yearns for. The song is a tribute to the undying spirit of the dreamer, fighting against the odds and the traffic of life.

As the song progresses, it reflects on the passage of time and its effects on Louis. One day, he wakes up with a worry and realizes he is no longer the same; time has flown by. Yet, even as time takes its toll, Louis's passion for music remains undiminished. He still holds onto the hope of sharing his songs with the world. 'Louis' is a poignant reminder of the enduring human spirit and the power of holding onto one's dreams, no matter the obstacles.
