Michele Ducci has today released his new video for the track titled ‘Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?’, the first part of his concept film ‘Film for Songs: The Great Book of Nature’, an animated short film by Michele Ducci and Letizia Mandolesi, via Monotreme Records.
Collaborations run in all shapes and forms, and, with this dynamic duo of artisans we get a beautiful concept that stems from the book ‘The Great Book of Nature’.
Visually endearing and sonically compelling, literary interpretations go from homage to art all of their own and feel good for the soul and right for the heart.
Take what you will from this piece of art, but one thing you will all feel in the end is that you feel a bit more complete and whole.

About ‘Film for Songs: The Great Book of Nature’
The film, which contains two new songs, “Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?” and “Why You?”, tells the adventurous story of an animated book called “The Great Book of Nature”, which itself purports to tell the story of a printed book by the same name.
With references to Méliès’ “The Vanishing Lady”, Bruno’s “On the Infinite Universe and Worlds”, and philosophers Ernst Bloch and Rocco Ronchi, “Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning?” sets the stage for the encounter between a sleep-deprived traveler and the magical book.
Says Ducci, “The song talks about the enigma of time lived as a living presence in that dizzying moment when we can’t fall asleep. In the end, we fall asleep and wake up and that enigma, of falling and rising, like living choruses, is maybe who we are as living beings.”
“Why Do I Wake Up Every Morning” is an infectious Swing beat pop song that features whistling, sweet boy/girl harmonies and Ducci’s softly purring vocals. The second track and full video will be released in June.
