Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You don't have to understand every language the 73-year-old Italian composer sings in here (French, Spanish, Neapolitan and English as well as Italian) to know that his single-malt voice is gruffly crooning about lost loves, lost time – perhaps even lost luggage – all adding up to a moving yet idiosyncratic reflection on his own mortality.
But, as ever, Conte's hauntingly askew perspective circumnavigates overt sentimentality with cosmopolitan panache. As good as anything he's done.
