Final song (for now) in my bossa's-in-Italy series..this one about the Eternal City.

Bella Citta

Welcome to Rome, now you're in Italy!
Bella citta! Welcome to Italy!
Ciao amore!

You kissed the ground at Fiumicino today;
Vita romana e piu vicino per te!

Campo d'fiori for our primo caffe;
Nella Borghese passegiando the day.

Jump on my vespa and hold me tight
Via Veneto and other sights!

Nel Vaticano la messa ensieme we pray;
La margarita bella then casa di me.

Roma's alive to the flaming heart;
Boca della Verita to start;
Great view! Love's new! Mai di piu!
I wanna make it my home with you.

At Trevi fountain toss a penny or two;
E per la cena, pasta e vino with you!

Walk thru the Forum and Rome of old;
Then Piazza Navona as night unfolds!

Tano,

Very nice. I love the jazzy feel of this one. I also like the mix - has a "live" feel to it.

Hello, Tom

Very nice Bossa Nova as usual.
The chord progression, too!
Italian words are very cool.
The dialogue between solo vocal and back chorus reminds me of Brazilian samba.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi,
original song and I'm particularly impressed because you sing of Rome.

A question, why Rome? is there any affective reason?

Otherwise a really nice song, whith good jazzy style.

Sergio, Peter..thank you for listening.

Sergio..I will never forget that I once travelled to Rome from the US, and, as we were landing at Fiumicino, the airline was playing a song in which they were singing something about “Bella citta”..so that stuck in my mind. When I was working on this song, before I had the idea of the lyrics, the melody notes made me think of “Bella citta”..so I decided that I should make the song about Rome. And by mixing the lyric word of English with Italian, I found that I immediately gained many more cool rhymes.

Great work on this one, Tano Music smile I love the groove on this one, and also how you flawlessly combined languages here. I nearly missed it for the first half of the song, admittedly because I was mostly listening to the musical aspect. Fantastic chord progressions too.

Really nice job here - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

This is very "groovy" to use an old school term.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
