[edit] The songs
- "Nancy" is a translated version of the Leonard Cohen's song "Seems So Long Ago, Nancy", originally from his "Songs from a Room" album. The lyrics are about the true story of a young girl from Montréal who committed suicide."
- "Le storie di ieri", completely written by De Gregori (who re-recorded the song on his album Rimmel of the same year) is about the choice of the fascist ideology and its transformation into the MSI (post-fascist Italian party) after its downfall.
