Today’s videoclip is a United Nations/Benetton wet dream: Italian pop star Eros Ramazzotti singing with Tina Turner, in a video directed by Spike Lee. Seriously.
The video is 10 years old at this point, but I still want to look as good as Tina when I’m her age. Hell, I kinda want to look as good as she does now.
update: Ack! I was wrong. Spike Lee directed the original version of the video – the Tina-less version from the Tutti Storie album. I thought this one looked a little out of character for Spike — the original, has many more typical Spike Lee elements:
Happy Monday!

Cose della vita (Can’t Stop Thinking of You)
Musica: E.Ramazzotti / P.Cassano
Lyrics: T.Turner / J.Ralston / E.Ramazzotti
Sono umane situazioni
quei momenti fra di noi
i distacchi e i ritorni
da capirci niente poi
Già…come vedi
sto pensando a te…sì…da un po’
They’re just human contradictions
feeling happy, feeling sad
These emotional transitions
all the memories we’ve had
Yes, you know it’s true
That I just can’t stop thinking of you
No, I just can’t pretend all the time that we spend could die
wanna feel it again, all the love we felt then
Confinanti di cuore solo che ognuno sta
dietro gli steccati degli orgogli suoi
sto pensando a te
sto pensando a noi…
Sono cose della vita
vanno prese un po’ così
Some for worse and some for better
but through it all we’ve come so far
Già…como vedi
io sto ancora in piedi
perché
Sono umani tutti i sogni miei
con le mani io li prenderei, sì perché
What is life without a dream to hold?
Take my hand and never let me go
But it’s part of life together
Oh, what future does it hold?
sono cose della vita
ma la vita poi dov’è
Yes, you know it’s true
That I just can’t stop thinking of you
Questa notte che passa piano accanto a me
cerco di affrontarla, afferrarla
If our hearts miss a beat or get lost like a ship at sea
I want to remember, I can never forget
I just can’t stop thinking of you
Sto pensando a noi
I just can’t stop
… can’t stop
