Le cose che non mi aspetto explained
"Le cose che non mi aspetto" (English: The things that I don't expect) is a song recorded by Italian singer Laura Pausini and produced by Paolo Carta, released in May 2012 as the fifth single from Pausini's 2011 studio album Inedito. The lyrics of the song were written by Laura Pausini and Niccolò Agliardi, while the music was composed by Niccolò Agliardi and Luca Chiaravalli.[1]
The song was also recorded in a Spanish-language version, adapted by Ignacio Ballesteros and titled "Las cosas que no me espero".[2] This version of the song was included in the Hispanic edition of the album, Inédito. "Las cosas que no me espero" was later re-recorded as a duet with Venezuelan singer Carlos Baute for the 2012 special edition of the album.[3] The duet is set to be released in Spain on 30 October 2012.[4]
Both versions of the song were performed during the Inedito World Tour, but as of March 18, 2012, the song was removed from the setlist. Starting to the Summer leg of the Inedito World Tour the song was reintroduced.
Following the release of the DVD Inedito Special Edition on November 27, 2012, Le cose che non mi aspetto was re-released as a single in Europe and Brazil, with Celeste being released in Italy and the duet version of Las cosas que no me espero in the Americas and Spain.[5]
According to Nielsen Music, "Le cose che non mi aspetto" was the 35th most aired song in Italy during 2012.[6]
Lyrics
According to Pausini, the song is a "thank you" to all her fans around the world, who always give her the support she needs to continue
Music video
The music video for "Le cose che non mi aspetto" was filmed in Berlin on 9 May 2012 by debuting Italian director Salvatore Billeci,[7] a student at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Viterbo.[8]
Billeci commented on the video claiming that he proposed Pausini to adopt "a style with moving graffiti, using the recurrent word 'Grazie' [Italian for 'Thank you'] in several languages, in order to highlight the love and gratitude Laura really feels for all the fans following her all over the world".[8]
The last part of the videoclip shows the word "Casa" (Italian for home) on a wall, with symbols from all the countries Pausini has visited in her career, including the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.
The videoclip was presented for the first time on May 26, 2012, at the Arena di Verona during the Wind Music Awards 2012 award giving and was made disponible on June 13, 2012, on the official site of the newspaper Corriere della Sera and on June 18, 2012, on all musical channels.
