Song Meaning of “Lady in Sienna” by Carles Trepat
Lady in Sienna tells the story of a man who is struggling to come to terms with the changes that accompany growing up. He’s in love with someone, and while he knows things may never be the same between the two of them, he still holds on to his feelings. He’s unable to let go and moves through life in a sort of numb state, wishing he could go back to simpler times when he was young and innocent.
The song speaks of the heartache and confusion that comes when you’re forced to confront the realities of adulthood. The protagonist—our Lady in Sienna—is a romantic protagonist with a fiercely passionate heart, yet feels as if he has been shut off from the world, frozen in time, unable to move on and evolve as life moves forward.The protagonist dreams of a distant better place where love is unconditional and life makes sense. The story is wonderfully told in a dreamy, slow-paced soundscape.
The title “Lady in Sienna” refers to the beauty of the Italian city of Sienna and its beauty embodies the title of the song. The singer is longing for something as grand and romantic as the city of Sienna, and ultimately something that will last. Lady in Sienna is a deeply moving, romantic song of unrequited love and longing for a better place.
