Description edit

Morricone suggested Elisa to be inspired by her memories and so she wrote the lyrics thinking about one of her childhood friends that died of leukemia.[2] The song has been a part of the seventy-five pieces among which were chosen the five candidates for the 2013 Oscar for Best Song.[3]
