You'll want to sing along with Nina Zulli as she cries her heart out in "Cinquantamila lacrime" ("Fifty-Thousand Tears"), a hit song from 2009, made even more famous as the theme song from a 2010 film by Ferzan Özpetek, Mine vaganti (English title, Loose Cannons). Great lyrics, great melody, great rhythm!

Niccolò Fabi's road song, Lontano da me ["Far from Myself"] came out in 2012.

The smash hit, "Laura non c'è" (Laura isn't here) was sung by Nek at the Sanremo Festival in 1997 and is featured on the album, Lei, gli amici e tutto il resto (Her, my friends, and everything else). The song became famous all over the world, making Nek one of the best loved Italian singers abroad.

Nek sings a simple song about how people are made to love one another, despite everything. The song came in second at the Sanremo Festival.

Nek, the Italian singer who is renowned in Italy and in Spanish-speaking countries, covers a song that Mina first performed. The music was written by Ennio Morricone, known above all for his film composing.

"Saturno Contro" is the theme song for the 2007 film with the same name. The video features Neffa, the singer-songwriter, and the film's cast.

From the album Sognando contromano (Dreaming the wrong way). Neffa puts a lot of meaning into just a few, clearly articulated words, set to a simple melody. You'll find it easy to follow along.

Neffa sings about how things are going to change. "Cambierà" (It will change) is a single from his 2006 album Alla fine della notte. Great opportunity to practice the future tense!
