HURRICANE (ROTOLANDO RESPIRANDO)

(Testo: Valerio Negrini, Teddy Randazzo - Musica: Roby Facchinetti - Voce: Roby Facchinetti)

Hurricane blown my way
thunder ands lightning and clouds
there's no turning back
from all the wind and the rain.
Winds of change are comin thru
ever since i looked at you
i knew then and there
that i was lost in your storm
we were meant to come together
like a raging hurricane
can you feel the force
of love about to explode.
Caught in a storm of love and it's no illusion
it's got me hypnotized and it wont let go
it's getting closer
and i can't holdon now
here comes the cyclone
and it's much too strong now.
It feels so good to be high
soaring away in the wind
love take me somewhere
where i can be free again.
Here it comes to take me
and it wont be long now
the winds of freedom
hear them scream and rage now
it's getting closer
and i can't hold on now
here comes the cyclone
and it's much too strong now.
Hurricane blown in to mine.

I DEDICATE MY LOVE TO YOU (IN DIRETTA NEL VENTO)

(Testo: Valerio Negrini, Teddy Randazzo - Musica: Dodi Battaglia - Voce: Dodi Battaglia)

Changing
my life's taking on a new meaning
i'm learning to flow with
the games that once bound me
and i'm beginning to be free.
Loving
is never the wanting or needing
and loving yourself is
the key to all being
i'm just beginning to be me.
And though i walk thru the night
in the shadow of darkness
it's starting to turn into a pale shade of light.
Getting brighter with each moment of living
and i thing it's gonna be alright.
If it wasn't for you i never would have made it
i'm grateful to you for giving me the key
if it wasn't for you i never would have faced it
i dedicate my love to you only you.
Giving
is a magical reason for living
and you gave me moments
that i ever will treasure
no matter where and come what may.
And though i walk thru the night
in the shadow of darkness
i know deep inside it's gonna be alright.
Getting higher with each breath i'm breathing
and i'm beginning to see the light.
But if there wasn't you i never would have made it
i'm grateful to you for giving me the key
if it wasn't for you i would have just forsaken it
i would have faked it if it wasn't for you.
Closer
than any dream can imagine
from this very moment
to the end of forever
i dedicate my love to you.

FLOW (CI PENSERÓ DOMANI)

(Testo: Valerio Negrini, Teddy Randazzo - Musica: Dodi Battaglia - Voce: Roby Facchinetti)

There you go
all of your feelings are starting to show
and there i go
i'm feelin' the heartache again' cause i know
i'm unable to fight it
here they come
my eyes can't hold on to the teardrops
falling down like rain
don't now
i swear i don't know how to leave you
girl i just don't know.
Look at me
just look with your heart for a moment and see
i really to love you
what to say
i can't seem to find any words left to say
except that i love you
you and i
somehow i just never imagined
we would ever part
but now
there's no way for you to deny it
i know it's in your heart.
Flow just let it go
and do all the things you feel inside
what else can i say
it's meant to be
i gave you my best
at least i tried.
Go away
before i go crazy and beg you to stay
a little bit longer
let it be
what good would it do anyway i can see
the hurt would be stronger
fare the well
and remember no matter what happens
that i will always love you
and then
you change your mind and you need me
i'll take you back again.
Flow just let it go
and do all the things you feel inside
what else can i say
it's meant to be
i gave you my best
at least i tried.
Go away
before i go crazy and beg you to stay
a little bit longer

what good would it do anyway i can see
the hurt would be stronger

and then

i'll take you back again.

at least i tried.

FADE AWAY (PIERRE)

(Testo: Valerio Negrini, Teddy Randazzo - Musica: Roby Facchinetti - Voce: Roby Facchinetti)

Fade away
illusion in my mind please be gone
you're just a shadow of the past now
a vision of what couldn't last now leave me.
Fade away
and vanish from my dreams every night
why does you memory still come stealing
leaving this lonely empty feeling in me.
I near you calling in my reverie
why do you still remain here
haunting me endlessly.
Fade away
and let my life begin once again
our love belongs to yesterdays now
leave soft and vanish in the haze now quickly.
I see you smiling from a distant place
and as i reach to touch
i watch your face fade away.
I see you smiling from a distant place
and as i reach to touch
i watch your face fade away.

A MILLION MILES FROM NOWHERE (LA CITTÁ DEGLI ALTRI)

(Testo: Valerio Negrini, Teddy Randazzo - Musica: Roby Facchinetti - Voce: Coro)

Each day I get up early in the morning
make some breakeasy and i read the papers
have a cup of coffee myself together
the train won't wait forever.
Another day to make another dollar
a lot of day dreams till i reach the station
swallowed by the city in a sea of faces
just scurrying to different places.
I know somebody I'll pack my things and i'll go
somehow I'm gonna find a way to be free
you and me we'll find ourselves an island
a million miles from nowhere.
Every day I dream the same old story
and every time I do the day seems longer
swallowed by the city in a sea of faces
just scurrying to different places.
I know someday I'll pack my thing and I'll go
somehow in gonna find a way to be free
you and me well find ourselves an island
a million miles from newhere.

CARE (PER UNA DONNA)

(Testo: Valerio Negrini, Teddy Randazzo - Musica: Roby Facchinetti - Voce: Dodi Battaglia)

Care for a woman that cares for you
and she'll never go astray
care for the woman who shares your life
with kindness and warmth everyday
care for your woman and open wide
say all the things you're feeling inside you
tell her tell her you care.
Stand by a woman who's lost her way
and she'll always be in sight
stand by the woman when she's in darkness
and you'll be her guiding light
stand by your woman when she needs you there
and tell her you want her you need her and love her.
Tell her tell her
and make her really feel
that your love is real
do and she'll give to you
just take the time to know her
do your best to show her
care if you care about her
you'll never be without her.
There was a woman who gave herself
no matter what price it cost her
there was a woman for me alone
but I didn't care and I lost her
if you have a woman then hold her dear
just reach out and touch her whenever she's near you.
Tell her tell her
the little things you feel
that your love is real
do and she'll give to you
just take the time to know her
do your best to show her
care if you care about her
you'll never be without her.
There was a woman for me alone
now she's gone and I care.

GIVE ME ONLY THIS MOMENT (DAMMI SOLO UN MINUTO)

(Testo: Valerio Negrini, Teddy Randazzo - Musica: Roby Facchinetti - Voce: Roby Facchinetti)

I know you never had to speak a word
I know the way you feel inside you
and tho' you try to hide it
there is no need denying
you know it's ment to be girl.
You see you're like the other side of me
we both know where it's going
no use to turn away
you know I'm gonna love you
it's just a breath away now.
Give me only this moment lost in your magic
to last me for ever
let me burn in the fire and feel the desire
that rages inside you
let's be reborn in this moment right now.
Give me only this moment lost in your magic
to last forever
let me burn in the fire and feel the desire
that rages inside you
and we'll be reborn for the moment right now.
And then I'll watch you slowly slip away
and i won't turn to follow
for us there's no tomorrow
but we can have this moment
to last our whole life thru girl.
Give me only this moment lost in your magic
to last forever
let me burn in the fire and feel the desire
that rages inside you
let's be reborn in this moment right now.
I know you never had to speak a word
I know the you inside you.
Love me now for this moment that we have together
love me now for this moment must last forever.
Love me now for this moment that we have together
love me now for this moment must last forever.
Love me now for this moment that we have together
love me now for this moment must last forever.

READY GET UP AND GOOD MORNING (PRONTO, BUON GIORNO È LA SVEGLIA)

(Testo: Stefano D'Orazio, Teddy Randazzo - Musica: Roby Facchinetti - Voce: Dodi Battaglia, Roby Facchinetti)

Ready get up and good morning
take a lock at a day of forever
world I'm giving you more than fair warning
that I'm getting my motion together
and I'm coming thru here I go.
Joggin' at five for an hour
and at six do some deep meditation
gonna have a good breakfast at seven
and by eight i'll be down at the station
I'll be at the office at nine.
Writing some words and some music
turn the radio on and just listen
get a winner idea and don't lose it
'cause from this moment on I'm insistin'
on writing a hit song a day.
Life is a song for song writers
I'm a writer of song's and i love it
just in making it all come together
is the boy of my life with none above it
lunch break at noon and I'm ready
to write on with a some new inspiration
and work on till I get it completed
then I pack up my things head for the station.
Back on the train for some dreamin'
I get home by a quarter to seven
make a date for some dinner and groovin'
then get rack into bed 'bout eleven
a little tv and to sleep.
Ready get up and good morning
take a lock at a day of forever
world I'm giving you more than fair warning
that I'm getting my motion together
and I'm coming thru here I go.

YOUR LOVE (CHE NE FAI DI TE)

(Testo: Stefano D'Orazio, Teddy Randazzo - Musica: Roby Facchinetti - Voce: Red Canzian)

Caught in the web
of a spell
that goes on and on and on.
Lost on a dream
evermore
flowing a magic wand.
My life is changing
inside of me
I've touched your magic
and I can't believe it
what I'm feeling
all I want is you to hold me tight
and I dream about it
every morning thru the evening
every day and night
your love your love
Sailing along on a sea
made of rainbow to a star
drifting away to an "oz"
always near and ever far.
And each new moment
is better than the last
forever flowing
and I can't believe it
how I'm feelin'
all I want to do is hold you tight
and I dream about it
every morning every evening
every day and night
your love.

Producer: Teddy Randazzo
Arrangements: Pooh / Teddy Randazzo
Artistic Supervision: Teddy Randazzo
Recorded at: Idea Recording Studios, Milan, Italy

Cover concept and realisation: Ray Martino

L'esperimento del disco in inglese "Hurricane" venne accettato senza troppa convinzione dai Pooh. Entrò in classifica in Austria, Giappone, Olanda e Germania, ma negli Stati Uniti le vendite furono deludenti. La pubblicazione dell'abum non era stata prevista per l'Italia, ma la notizia che copie venivano importate dalla Germania convinse la CGD a distribuire "Hurricane" anche nel nostro paese, vendendo in pochi mesi mezzo milione di copie e fruttando un disco d'oro.
Durante la realizzazione dell'album il produttore Teddy Randazzo scrisse un brano intitolato "Love Attack", molto lontano dallo stile dei POOH: 8 minuti e 50 secondi di disco music interpretati da Red Canzian. Venne incluso solo nella versione dell'album per il mercato giapponese, nel lato B.
