Rating: There are artists who, with their songs, know how to jolt us from the stupor of this absurd time and scratch the soul with their immensity, caressing our being with a skillful touch, inevitably leaving a mark.
A mark that can simply be the mere understanding of the importance of a moment... the importance of having intensely lived some moments of this frenetic life that would otherwise have passed by insignificantly overlapping one another.
I held onto a beautiful memory of this artist, today curiously forgotten by most, a memory that I needed to renew, revisit, and enrich. I awaited his return with impatience and not without some reservation... I began to despair... I feared that I should no longer believe. And finally, the day came when I could "feel his pleasure in my throat again" (those who know the lyrics of the new album will understand me) in thirteen new songs.
It Was a Moment
A wonderful ballad that embraces me as soon as I start listening to this new album. A text that I really like, where I find that the artist has perfectly managed to outline the essential lines of a person's moods when a romantic relationship ends and
not precisely (this is what he allows us to imagine) because of his own fault.
...it was simple yet useless...
Truly an engaging rhythm, and perhaps because I needed to find him again immediately and with this song I was able to do so right away... with those reinforcing repetitions that I adore... (to discover later that even in this album there are plenty... and together with his voice, I find that they really are his trademark... repeating to emphasize... repeating where it pulls... repeating to remember)
...from one day to the next... from one day to the next... from one day to the next... it's not about us... it's not about us... no... it's not about us...
Everything Passes
For my taste... a beautiful song, but what to say, a jewel.
The music and the lyrics chase each other, correlate, creating a captivating combination.
... I would like to feel your pleasure in my throat again... I won't stay here to say that in this song you feel touched by the right strings, those who have loved know, those who have loved intensely want to hear this song to the point of nausea. A song that despite its rhythm is anything but sad. It's a reflection, in my opinion, on the trenches laid by a great feeling....only in one breath without breathing...
The Hypothesis
The introspective that conquers. What else to add? Perhaps that it ends too soon.... and I find you in dreams and in my best days... Man, if I really have to say it... yes, it lasts too little...
Let Me In
A song that is a mix of carefreeness and joy and that reminded me of some atmosphere from his second album. I like the lyrics, and the music is catchy too. Of course... my heart tells me that this is not the kind of song I expect to hear from DDM. But not all fans will have tastes like mine, right? I want to transcribe here one line above all.....how much time, how much can it last not to hurt too much...
Let Yourself Go
. . . I want to try to taste your every single emotion. . . Here returns promptly the kind of song I like and that for this reason has become, since the first listening, one of my favorites from this new work. A song that invites to abandon oneself, to surrender into the arms of the other for the exchange of moments of affection, with a melody that immediately conquers and lyrics that go against hypocrisy and let that will to live be felt (Luca Carboni sang "the holy will to live") carving out even illicit spaces.....compromises do us good... Beautiful song!
Happiness
A song that could have belonged to Samuele Bersani. The randomness of this important mood is well described by an intelligent text that, at the same time, makes you reflect. ...happiness is a soap slipping, slipping and falling from your hands...... and you pick it up.. and then it falls again... The music is catchy and nice, I repeat... it reminded me of Bersani and his idea of exporting the Romagna flatbread.
I Struggle
Beautiful. This song, which he had already released months ago, finally finds its placement within an album where I believe it ranks among the most significant and profound songs. A great text, well studied and set in a melody that reminds me very much of the magical refrains of "Ask for What You Want" and "If Truly". . . . the full tank of gasoline please, I want to exaggerate. . .
Running Shoes
A song that is easy to listen to, friendly. A fast pace, supported by lyrics that, as usual, know how to be intriguing, I think it can carve out its own slice of followers. In all honesty... if I'm tight in the grip of time and only have ten minutes to listen to this album... this is not one of the songs I go to listen to immediately, however, in an album that already has songs in tune with my soul, a leap into lightheartedness doesn't bother me at all.
Fetch Me a Hug
. . . days are just numbers. . . After the high emotional peaks reached with "I Struggle" and the healthy out-of-town trip made with "Running Shoes", here's a song that is not easy to fully appreciate at first listen but then emerges assertively with its truths. Beautiful and touching text that I find of notable introspective strength, with some concessions to lightness......it seems like Christmas... okay, Easter is fine too...
The Windows
It's a song that at first listen I hadn't fully appreciated. Now, in the evening quiet, this beautiful text and its brave sounds that accompany it are starting to please me more and more. . . . I need a feeling. . . I need milk and honey. . . it's not easy on certain evenings. . .
Who You Are
Beautiful... or, at least... I liked it a lot. Lyrics and music that immediately reach their destination... a bit like "It Was a Moment". And how many wonderful repetitions... wowwwwww . . . and you leave, and you leave, and you leave. . . .
I No Longer Believe
A song that... listen after listen... truly won me over. I really like it and find it incredible for my taste. I believe much is due to De Marinis' voice and his wonderful way of interpreting this text in particular... Any other artist would have made it seem like a song with early aging. Truly beautiful, instead. Bravo Davide.
Joy and Crying
Only one minute and thirty-three seconds (the illusion that it lasted four seconds more as indicated on the CD was immediately removed) for this poem that he sings (can we say recites?) in a divine way. A Davide with guitar and voice that conveys unique emotions... the closure of the album on par with "I Closed My Eyes" and "Never Hide". Why so short? One more verse, just one more verse, and it would have been bliss for the soul... I would like to stop time... we are out of this world...
Already I wished I could stop time and that this album would never end. Instead, now I'm out of the world of De Marinis' music, and if instead of a CD it had been an old vinyl record... the sound of the needle reaching the end, up to grazing the cardboard placed at the center of the disc, would have perfectly made me realize that the dream is over and that it's time to write my review.
