Sento Solo Il Presente is Annalisa’s sonic love-poem to living in the now. Through playful, almost fairy-tale images — being turned into a bubble, hitching a ride on a sunbeam, gifting the world the essence of a smile — she paints love as a force that makes everything feel light, eternal and vibrant. When she is with her special person, “nothing dies, everything lives,” and everyday sensations are magnified into cosmic adventures.
The chorus zooms in on that magical state of presence: all she can hear are the waves and the beat of her own heart. Fear dissolves the moment her partner’s arms tighten around her, and even the “sweetest bitterness” of a fleeting, rain-soaked kiss becomes addictively delicious. In short, the song celebrates that electric certainty you feel when romance makes time stop, the world blur and the present moment shine brighter than any star.
