‘Io Sto Bene’ by indie singer-songwriter Francesca Pichierri is an alternative pop track with bluesy spunk that melds genres. Its lyrics express this impassioned sense of frustration that meets this spiralling moment in the soundscape, right after the refrain. In these spiralling moments there’s a pull that tugs at the listener, allowing us to feel these emotions as viscerally as our narrator does.
The song’s title and refrain translate to ‘I Am Fine’, in Italian, seemingly said in the middle of some sort of spiral. The song feels like its going through the motions, with its different ‘acts’ almost taking us through moments of frustrated frenzy to ones of deliberate calm.

‘Io Sto Bene’: ‘I Am Fine’
‘Io Sto Bene’ is mainly led by this bluesy piano, that gives the song this sort of punchy air. The staccato notes feel punchy and deep, forcing our narrator’s vocal to stay fixed at a point somewhat. This before our tone becomes a bit unhinged, almost to communicate this spiral our narrator is going through after seemingly waking up after a long slumber.
“Where the hell did I go?
I heard a thunder ages ago,
Fall into a slumber.
Where did I go?
Tutto bene*
Io Sto Bene…”
*Everything’s fine
The soundscape takes our listener down this spiral, going from a space that feels panicked to one that gradually forces itself to calm down. This effectively communicating a sense of disorientation before moving into a mood that wants to reassure.
There’s also this sense of expansion after the refrain of ‘Io Sto Bene’ that captures an emotion that feels opposite to the frenzy, but isn’t quiet calm. This juxtaposition of sorts pulls us through our narrator’s swirl of mixed emotions. They feel this need to reassure though they are in a situation that feels frustrating, disorienting and almost scary.
“…Io Sto Bene…
…Pretty lie…
…When I’m fighting for my life.
Non finirá mai*…”.
*It will never end.
‘Io Sto Bene’ by Francesca Pichierri is a punchy piano and lyric dipped into this swirl of disorientation and confusion that needs to be pushed down for the sake of another. The soundscape follows this pattern in acts that feel like they’re moving through subtle shifts in mindset that focus from self to another in rapid succession. This while holding space for the listener, making sure that these spirals are felt and not simply heard.
All this making for an engaging and compelling listen.
