For the latter it was all different. We recorded it in the studio,
there are so many tools and so many people who participated in it. So, we had to be more methodical, also to avoid loss of time and money. What it was the idea of the title“ Belzebù pensaci tu”( Beelzebub take care)? The title was created for fun. Often, faced with difficulties, we ear people telling things like“ Jesus help us you” or“ if Jesus wants to”... so I imagined a Christ extremely stressed that observes the world to go to hell and not know what to do. It’ s a provocation. Often we rely on the great figures, to avoid take responsibility for how we run and we run our lives badly. Why did you choose a“ difficult” song as a“ Cane morto” as a single?
