Dj Razz & DARA - Caruso (Cover Edit)

There is a bridge That connects Souls to hearts Hearts to thoughts Thoughts to souls Across the river of wants Find me there... Caruso is one of the most well-known Italian love songs. Written in 1986 by singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla, it is dedicated to acclaimed Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso. In an interview, Dalla revealed the origin and meaning of the lyrics. After his boat broke down between Sorrento and Capri, the singer-songwriter had no choice but to spend the night in a hotel in Sorrento (known as Surriento in Neapolitan), a city overlooking the Bay of Naples. He chose the Excelsior Vittoria Hotel, and happened to stay in the very same hotel room that Enrico Caruso had stayed in, shortly before he passed away. The owners told him about Caruso’s final days and his alleged passion for one of his young female students to whom he was giving singing lessons. Inspired by these stories, Dalla went on to write the song and, well, the rest is history! Th
