Vivere Tutte Le Vite ("Living All the Lives") is Elisa and Carl Brave’s joyful reminder that you do not need to tick every box on an imaginary life-achievement list to feel complete. Elisa opens the song lying under daylight, her eyes “drowned in the world,” finally free from the melancholy that once dragged her down. She sings that she no longer chases every victory, every destination, or a perfectly unscarred heart; what matters is soaking up the present moment until even her fears turn paper-thin.
Carl Brave jumps in like a candid movie scene: he spots a girl in a half-empty bar, flirts over playful soccer metaphors, and invites her on a sushi date even though he is a lifelong pasta fan. His verse paints the thrill of spontaneous connection—proof that life’s magic is often found in the small, imperfect details. Together, the artists celebrate choosing one real, vibrant life right now instead of endlessly chasing alternate versions. The message is clear: seize what is bigger than you, risk the scratches, and do not let even a single moving leaf slip past unnoticed.
Elisa, born Elisa Toffoli in 1977 in Trieste in northeastern Italy, is one of the country's most acclaimed singer-songwriters. She grew up in the border town of Monfalcone, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, where hearing many languages early on shaped her rare gift for singing across them.
She debuted in 1997 with the album Pipes & Flowers and, unusually for an Italian artist, built her early career writing and singing mostly in English. Her breakthrough came in 2001, when she won the Sanremo Music Festival with "Luce (Tramonti a nord est)", her first song in Italian, co-written with Zucchero. The song became her first number one at home and remains one of the most beloved Italian pop ballads of its era.
