Andrea Bocelli and son, Matteo offer a stunning cover of Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect Symphony”. Matteo does a great job of singing in English while father, Andrea compliments him by singing an Italian translation.
“Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we’re so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we’ll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I’ll be your man
I see my future in your eyes”
Clearly, Matteo has inherited his father’s passion for singing and his ability to communicate feeling through his song is every bit as moving as Andrea. The recent release of their sensational “Fall on Me” duet continues to garner new fans. For those who may not be classical music lovers, hearing these classically trained voices successfully tackle pop songs such as “Perfect Symphony” proves the Bocelli’s enormous crossover abilities.
Andrea shares what it’s like to sing with his son and blend their vocals in a performance. “Technically they are very different, but there is one thing that makes them most similar: the attitude. That characteristic way of expressing yourself through your voice. This makes Matteo and I very similar. But that is something that you cannot learn, that cannot be taught. That is something you are born with.”
Indeed! They are truly blessed with an incredible God-given talent. When Andrea put his hand on Matteo’s shoulder we were all smiles! We love to hear this father and son singing and to watch them enjoying their success together is so moving.
