about
The radio has always been at the center of our lives and our work revolves around it: after all Bologna is a culturally thriving city and radio has been an integral part of it. This song narrates our sorrow for the closure of Radio Città del Capo, an independent commercial radio station in Bologna that from 1987 to 2021 was a cornerstone of our lives. Luca had been the host of 'Cotton Fioc', Giacomo and Andrea of 'Buona!' and this song is a tribute to those days.
lyrics
S-S-Sundays came and went, it took a big net to grab them
or sticky goopy flypapers.
Radio days were beautiful but someone unplugged them.
The hula hoop has fallen.
Sundays came and went, I love to think there was someone
who listened to our voices all day
thinking if we had shaved or if we were wearing
a t-shirt of their favorite band.
Radio days are gone,
we have lost almost everything.
That was our home, our home!
I'm not really in the mood to talk
I can't even concentrate.
We have had the big big pleasure
of your company in the past years.
Why do beautiful places end up being parking lots?
Never forget the laughter.
Oh well, it's time. We need to go.
or sticky goopy flypapers.
Radio days were beautiful but someone unplugged them.
The hula hoop has fallen.
Sundays came and went, I love to think there was someone
who listened to our voices all day
thinking if we had shaved or if we were wearing
a t-shirt of their favorite band.
Radio days are gone,
we have lost almost everything.
That was our home, our home!
I'm not really in the mood to talk
I can't even concentrate.
We have had the big big pleasure
of your company in the past years.
Why do beautiful places end up being parking lots?
Never forget the laughter.
Oh well, it's time. We need to go.
