Piero Piccioni - Endless Love
Not enduring, not abiding, not sustaining, but endless. It sounds almost like a threat more than a promise, if you ask me. Less a quilt pulled up to your chin than it is a plastic bag pulled over your head.
One might say of Piero Piccioni that he was the Italian Henry Manicini, were it not for the fact that Henry Manicini is the Italian Henry Mancini, despite being born in Cleveland’s Little Italy. Let me try that again. Piero Piccioni is the not-Little Italian Henry Manicini. Piero began his career as a lawyer playing music on the side, and went on to become one of Italy’s most prolific soundtrack composers, with by varying accounts, 200 to 300 scores to his credit, including this gem, from the soundtrack to ‘Colpo Rovente’, Endless Love. Or as I like to call it, Fleeting Pheremone-induced Insanity. Now if you’ll excuse me I have some frowning to do.
Not sure I would take this man’s advice on affairs on the heart. Endless Love? More like Endless Lunch amirite?!?
