Overview

"Sulla terra io e lei" was the second and most successful single of the 1983 album Sincerità. [1] The lyrics, described as "halfway between disconsolate and fatalistic tones", depict a man who painfully and regretfully remembers his lost love. [1] The song has been praised for "the interesting harmonic structure,[...] the skillful handling of the strings,[...] and the immediate grip of the singing, which has in the prolongation of notes on the same syllable the dominant characteristic of the refrain". [1]

Cocciante recorded the song in English as "Something's Gone from My Life", in French as " Sur la terre, elle et moi", and in Spanish as "Ella y Yo".
