Michele Ducci releases ‘Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?’ and first part of animated short film ‘Film for Songs: The Great Book of Nature’
‘Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?’ is the first part of ‘Film for Songs: The Great Book of Nature’, an animated short film by Michele Ducci and Letizia Mandolesi. The film, which contains two new songs, ‘Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?’ and ‘Why You?’, tells the adventurous story of an animated book called ‘The Great Book of Nature’, which itself purports to tell the story of a printed book by the same name.
With references to Méliès’ ‘The Vanishing Lady’, Bruno’s ‘On the Infinite Universe and Worlds’, and philosophers Ernst Bloch and Rocco Ronchi, ‘Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?’ sets the stage for the encounter between a sleep-deprived traveller and the magical book. Says Ducci, “The song talks about the enigma of time lived as a living presence in that dizzying moment when we can’t fall asleep. In the end we fall asleep and wake up and that enigma, of falling and rising, like living choruses, is maybe who we are as living beings.”
‘Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?’ is an infectious Swing beat pop song that features whistling, sweet boy/girl harmonies and Ducci’s softly purring vocals.
The second track and full movie will be released in June.
Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.
Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”
Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.
Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
