Stefano Belisari (born 30 July 1961 in Milan), best known as Elio, is an Italian singer and musician, the founder of the Italian rock band Elio e le Storie Tese. He performs as the lead vocalist and plays the transverse flute (which he degreed in at the music conservatory), and sometimes the electric guitar and the electric bass. The band has been active in Italy since 1980, and perform regularly in concert.
Elio also graduated on 20 December 2002 from the Politecnico di Milano with a M.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering, after having dropped out several years previous to his successful return.
The texts of his songs are eclectic, hilarious, and sometimes political. Belisari lists Frank Zappa as a primary influence and this reflects itself in the variety of both lyrical and musical stylings.
He's now a judge of Italian's X-Factor.
Tongue-tied speechless
it's all tangled up inside
trapped within my mind
i'll stumble and freak out
bound to hit the wall
i'm sure to trip and fall
In a twisted web of words
i'll try to make it work
But you gotta read beteen the line
As i'm pouring out my soul
look into my eyes and you'll know
'coz words can't describe
what i'm feeling deep inside
i gotta hope you feel the spark
in my letter to your heart
(can't write this down)
(can't write it down)
in my letter to your heart
(can't write this down)
(can't write it down)
quiet silence
tryin' to find a way
the things i'll never say
i'll try to slow down
and speak up
but words would never help
i'm a victim of myself
In a twisted web of words
i'll try to make it work
But you gotta read beteen the line
As i'm pouring out my soul
look into my eyes and you'll know
'coz words can't describe
what i'm feeling deep inside
i gotta hope you feel the spark
in my letter to your heart
(can't write this down)
(can't write it down)
in my letter to your heart
(can't write this down)
(can't write it down)
fell the beating in my chest
hoping you can hear the rest
of what my heart is shouting to the world
But you gotta read beteen the line
As i'm pouring out my soul
look into my eyes and you'll know
'coz words can't describe
what i'm feeling deep inside
i gotta hope you feel the spark
in my letter to your heart
(can't write this down)
(can't write it down)
in my letter to your heart
(can't write this down)
(can't write it down)
ooh ooh
this is my letter to your heart
