## Lyrics

When music speaks
Anything is possible
I'm so alive
I feel like I'm unstoppable
And music is the only way
To make my wrongs be right
I play and my life turns out bright
And if I can't explain, I'll sing a song
You'll understand and sing along
I speak the planet's mother tongue
I'm finally feeling
So whole and strong!
You know...
Music speaks
Words give u-u-u-up
I feel free
I let the music take me
to the places I dream of!
When music speaks
I can't help listening
I share my joy
Through the riff of a guitar string
And if you don't know your tune
Let me sing you mine
And everything will be just fine
And if I can't explain, I'll sing a song
You'll understand and sing along
I speak the planet's mother tongue
I'm finally feeling
So whole and strong!
You know...
Music speaks
Words give u-u-u-up
I feel free
I let the music take me
to the places I dream of!
We let the music take us
to the places we dream of!
We dream of! We dream of!
We dream of!
I am the music!
Music!
And if I can't explain, I'll sing a song
You'll understand and sing along
I speak the planet's mother tongue
I'm finally feeling
So whole and strong!
You can't explain
So sing a song
I'll understand
And sing all along
Speak the planet's mother tongue
We're finally feeling
So whole and strong!
You know...
Music speaks
Words give u-u-u-up
I feel free
I let the music take me
to the places I dream of!
Music speaks
Words give u-u-u-up
I feel free
I let the music take me
to the places I dream of!

## Trivia

* This is the first song sung by Alex & Co.
* In the show the first part of the chorus is written by Emma Ferrari, the second part written by Alex Leoni and the rest of the song was written by all the characters.
* Carola Campagna, who portrays Carola in Season 2, sang a ballad version of the song.
* The song is featured in We Are One and Welcome to Your Show albums.
* The official video of the song was shot before Season 1, in September 2014.
	+ It was set at Palazzo Unicredit in Piazza Gae Aulenti, Milan.
* As the theme song of the show, the theme changes. In the first season, it played the drum beat of the last line of the pre-chorus and chorus, repeating the last line of the chorus whereas in the second season, it plays the synth notes from the verses and the full chorus with lyrics.
* In an early (unrecorded) version, the song was titled "I am the Music", as taken from the final lyric in the mid-song bridge.
* An early release of the song (still available on Spotify) features a metronome click intro that was later removed in all album versions. The click was there to provide a trailing signal to cast members lip-synching to the song during the shooting of the first video. Funnily, you can see Federico Russo dancing to the click beats at the beginning of the video and this is probably the reason why the clicks were kept in the video and the song.
* Alex and Co performed this song at their end of year event, for their audition on the Talent(off screen) and on the semi- finales of the Talent.
