Al Fresco
The title “Al Fresco” is short for “al fresco dining” or eating outside. But the song is not about eating outside, (or spending time in jail -which is how the phrase “al fresco” is used in Italian!) but rather about the wide variety of meaningful conversations I’ve had with friends and loved ones around a table with food and drink – sometimes outside “al fresco”; but often not. The song Al Fresco is meant to give the listener an opportunity to reflect on meaningful moments of his/her own that have occurred around a table with food or drink, and perhaps to realize that creating more of these moments leads to a richer life.
