SONG ANALYSIS: SALVATORE. In southern Italy, “Salvatore” is a name meaning “savior.” On this luscious love song, The Faire details imagery of soft ice cream and passionate love in 1940’s southern Italy. The Faire takes a vintage slow approach to the song, with a singing style similar to that of 1950s classic singer Frank Sinatra, backed by soft, echo-y instrumentals, he weaves a setting of an old Italian town, full of summer love and cool soft ice cream. As the sky darkens and the night begins, Miami lights start to shine their “ruby, blue and green” tones, the neon signs shining more prominently. The Faire and his “Salvatore” are taking an air bound trip around this beautiful city and its surroundings. Everything seems nice from the sky as they enjoy the crystal water’s view making an allusion to be clear and colorful as aquamarine.(more than likely the Florida Keys, also mentioned in “Florida Kilos”, where the lyrics sing quote: “Come on down to Florida, I got something for ya, we can see the kilos, or the keys, baby, oh yeah” It is possible to make the connection between Miami and the beautiful Florida keys, but perhaps there’s more to it. The Faire relies on contrasting language to convey the differences he’s facing between two lovers. He describes one as similar to [Cacciatore] which in italian, means “Hunter” - and typically prefers to a hefty, hearty, steak or chicken dinner. This likely represents the aggressive nature and personality type of the first lover, who assumingly is the one named Salvatore . Due to the similarities in sound between cacciatore and Salvatore – the bridge of the song offers us more clues, with The Faire claiming to be metaphorically “dying” by his hand. The other lover is much sweeter, instead embodying the characteristics of soft ice cream. A popular style of ice cream in Italy is Gelato, which is created with less air in comparison to the typical American variety. Because of this it tends to be silky in texture. The verses are sang in a deep, and rugged voice to represent cacciatore which itself is to represent Salvatore’s, jagged and dark personality. The chorus, however is sang in a light, almost sweet voice to represent the other lover, who remains unnamed. The word “limousine” is sang to represent the travel of leaving one partner, and going to the next, where the lyrics following are “Ciao, amore” - simultaneously bids one lover goodbye, while welcoming another into his life. In Italian, the word Ciao is both a greeting, or, hello, and also a way to say goodbye, or farewell, as he sangs these lyrics, he is saying goodbye and hello. Also, amore - refers to a dear, beloved person and The Faire seemingly loves both partners, but is more drawn to the more passive, agreeable man. And lastly, the lyrics “soft ice-cream”, again, the ice-cream representing the personality of the second lover.
