"Poesia senza veli" (transl. Poetry without veils) is a song by Italian singer-songwriter Ultimo. It was released on 25 May 2018 by Honiro as the second single from the second studio album Peter Pan.[1][2]
Description
The singer-songwriter described the song this way:[3]
"Poesia senza veli" is an uncensored declaration of love, unveiled in fact, seen through the eyes of a child. I thought: if I were a child, how would I tell her that love is in everything?
And he added:[3]
The child within me has taken flight. Like in track 3 (The Most Fragile Star in the Universe), here there's a manifesto of love, with the difference that the words sound as if they were written by a child. It's love seen through the eyes of a child.
And again:[3]
The world can wage war as much as it wants, but then a child smiles and puts an end to it. When I wrote this song, I thought precisely this: that nothing, not even a bomb, can harm a child's imagination. I'm disgusted by all those people in ties who have always waged and are still waging wars for dirty money. If God exists, He's already written down your names. Long live Peter Pan!
Music video
The music video, directed by Emanuele Pisano and written by him and Ultimo, was released to coincide with the song's release on Honiro's YouTube channel and shows the singer-songwriter admiring and describing the spontaneity of the relationships between two children.[4][5]
