Michele Ducci to release ‘Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?’ and first part of animated short film ‘Film for Songs: The Great Book of Nature’.
Out 4th April via Monotreme Records.
‘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.
