L’embrione del brano è poi stato ripreso e ri editato nell’aula DAP Digital Audio Project dell'istituto Industriale Panella di Reggio Calabria; in fine, nelle sapienti mani di Gianni Foti e Federico D’Alessandris, il brano ha preso la forma attuale ed è nato il testo definitivo e la melodia e l’arrangiamento definitivo. Il video nasce da un idea di Kempes Astolfi che, innamoratosi del brano, decide di produrre e dirigere il videoclip. Very special thanks to: Bob Macheda, Kempes Astolfi, Selene Casamassima, Luana Palmiero and very very thanks to Maya Foti for verification and correction in the arranging process... a tremendous help for every musician. Dedicated with love to Gasperina Mavilla... now you're a real star in the sky... ...enjoying the Malibu's sea.
