Marmellata n. 25
2005 single by Cesare Cremonini
Marmellata #25 is a song by Cesare Cremonini. It is the first single taken from his second album Maggese. The title makes reference to a passage from the lyrics in which the singer, having been left by his girlfriend, gets rid of woes by eating "kilos of jam", exactly the same one that the girl had hid from him. The jam represents happiness while #25 is the age of Cremonini at the moment of the release of the track. Throughout the song, in addition to his dejection due to the end of his relationship, Cremonini also makes a reference to his sadness due to his nostalgia for former Italian footballer Roberto Baggio, and late Formula 1 racing driver Ayrton Senna.[2]
An alternate version of the track, Marmellata #24, was produced as a b-side single on the subsequent Maggese.
