GIANTHEO, the Italian electronic pop duo which is formed by Giancarlo Prandelli and Matteo Sainaghi has return with their latest single titled “Tommy al Luna Park”. This track tells an incredible story of a 9 years old boy called Tommaso, who is the son of the lead singer Matteo Sainaghi. In the song, they perfectly describes the raw emotions of Tommaso enjoying the day at the park in a very entertaining and imaginative way.
“Tommy al Luna Park” is really just about the fresh, raw joy that is specific to childhood, when the world is still a brand new place and a brand new day brings with it a new set of adventures. Of course, as with any song that seeks to capture life’s many experiences and moments, there is a combination of fun and seriousness in the lyrics with some of the songs’ imagery coming from the every day family experience while others that speak to the effects of digital worlds on today’s children.
Musically, the song is an electronic pop type with the tune and beat that similarly resembles fun-filled day in the park. The beginning of the track starts with subtle guitar melodies, which give the song a light-hearted feel and a short cheerful beat and electronic piano stabs raise its mood. The song is performed in a very melodic way with the vocals being equal and balanced with rap inserts which make the piece very diverse and interesting. The rhythm is quite constant and the tunes are more like children’s songs and therefore it makes “Tommy al Luna Park” more suitable for children, though adults can comfortably relate to it due to the memories associated with childhood.
“Tommy al Luna Park” is a fun song that conveys the interpretation of childhood as a time when everything is fun and one can play and explore to their heart’s content. Listening to this song makes one feel youthful and this makes GIANTHEO achieve his intentions for this particular music piece.
