"I thought that it's a crime that there are some spectacular melodies in classical music that the general public doesn't get exposed to. I thought this was a way for me to bring some of the classical music that I love, incorporate it into a pop song for a new decade of kids, and introduce them to those beautiful melodies that they might not otherwise hear."

(Eric Carmen, cantante, musicista e compositore; Cleveland, 11 agosto 1949 – 8 marzo 2024)
