The story behind
Donna selvaggia donna, according to DoReSol
Lucio Battisti wrote Donna selvaggia donna as a song that feels like a conversation between two people who know each other well. The lyrics talk about a relationship that is unconventional, where there are complications and mixed emotions. Battisti's voice carries the song with a calm that contrasts with what is said, as if talking about something that already happened but still has weight. The melody is simple but memorable, with a rhythm that moves between the near and the distant. The song was recorded in studios in Oxfordshire and London, with producer Geoff Westley and session musicians. All the text is written by Mogol, and the music is by Battisti himself. The song lasts just over four minutes, and on Last.fm it has more than 15 thousand plays.
