Francesco De Gregori - Il canto delle sirene

TS Eliot meets Italian folk rock

Have fun finding references and quotes.

  1. I'm loving it (as McDonald would have me say), even though I can find very few references!
    "Il canto delle sirene" makes me think of "The lovesong of Alfred J Prufrock", especially since "non sarĂ  il canto delle sirene che ci innamorerĂ ".
    I reckon that "l'occhio di Ismaele" may be a reference to something but I can't quite point out what.
    Actually, Sirens and sailor hint quite obviusly at Ulysses!
    Anyway, the song is beautiful indeed.
