Barry Ryan - Eloise - (HQ video - Original Video) - 1968.
When "Eloise" was released, I still remember that some of my peers' sisters had Barry Ryan's poster in their rooms. It was a huge success, and listening to the song today, one can still appreciate the melody, while the lyrics confirm that falling in love is a kind of legalized madness (or perhaps just a kind of foolishness?).
Serve Yourself-John Lennon
Here’s a piece written by John Lennon in the last years of his life that deserves a new listen. In "Serve yourself," Lennon humorously pokes fun at what the mystic (at that time) Bob Dylan proposed in the song "Gotta serve somebody," and emphasizes that it’s wise to rely on oneself and one’s own strengths. Especially since no one else can replace your neighbor.
La marcia
It's true that Benigni later became bourgeois, but back then "The March of the Upset" was spot on. And unfortunately, the same can be said regarding the current times...
Fabrizio De Andrè - Don Raffaè
Even if you've listened to it countless times, this piece by De Andrè is always a great pleasure to hear again.
Kinks - Celluloid Heroes
Here’s one of the many masterpieces by the Kinks, a band unfortunately often underrated. Worth rediscovering.
Neil Young - On The Beach (Remastered)
And while Ashcroft was on a beach, in 1974 Neil Young was generally on the beach. It’s the song that gives its name to the self-titled album released in the summer of that year and it is a faithful reflection of the disillusionment felt in the States during the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War.
Richard Ashcroft- On A Beach
Hot summer and this track titled "On a Beach" by Richard Ashcroft perfectly captures how a castaway feels, like Robinson Crusoe, stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean, waiting for their beloved to come and rescue them.
CLAUDE DEBUSSY: CLAIR DE LUNE
In difficult times, there's nothing better than listening to "Clair de lune" by Debussy. A poignant and moving composition, capable of soothing the soul. A warm greeting to all Debaserioti.
The Band - The Weight
Unfortunately, Robbie Robertson has also left us, and to remember him, here is one of the masterpieces performed with the Band.
David Byrne & Celia Cruz - Loco de Amor.wmv
At the beginning of a beautiful film, directed by Jonathan Demme in 1986 titled "Something Wild," there is this piece by David Byrne called "Loco de amor," which reflects the author's fascination with South American music. It's also such a cheerful song that gives you the right energy to tackle the day.
Timmy Thomas - Why Can't We Live Together (1973)
Fifty years after the release of Timmy Thomas's song "Why can't We live together," we are still here wondering why we cannot live together in peace and without wars. Back then, it primarily referred to the Vietnam War; today, we face many other conflicts (not just the one in Ukraine). In short, humanity remains stuck in place.
Atlantide - Ustica, 40 anni di bugie
Not just a way to remember a great journalist like Andrea Purgatori, but also an opportunity to recall one of the many Italian mysteries that remain unsolved, such as the Ustica massacre in which 81 passengers aboard the civilian DC9 Itavia lost their lives when it was shot down during an aerial battle between foreign military aircraft.
Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire
Although Billy Joel is not among my favorite musicians, I must admit that "We Didn't Start the Fire" is quite an engaging track.
The Rolling Stones - Till The Next Goodbye - OFFICIAL PROMO
Here’s a great example of a romantic ballad by the Rolling Stones from 1974. Moreover, when Mick Jagger is close-up, he certainly comes off as charming and a bit slick, but he is undeniably an excellent performer. It's worth noting that in a few days he will turn 80, and for him, the eternal young womanizer, time does not pass...
Franco Battiato - Centro di gravità permanente
Battiato really captured the general disorientation felt in the early '80s. A must-listen always.
Frank Zappa teaches Steve Allen to play The Bicycle (1963)
Back in 1963, appearing on Steve Allen's American television show with a musical performance on a bicycle was something only an illustrious unknown named Frank Zappa could pull off. From that moment on, the great Frank would continue to shock the righteous Yankees and beyond. The kid would go a long way, and the footage attached here is truly a valuable historical document.
Umberto Bindi - Il nostro concerto
A memorable piece, an author to rediscover.
Charles Trenet - Que Reste-T-il De Nos Amours
It's true that, when he was a young man full of hopes, Berlusconi sang this tune by Charles Trenet. But beyond this fact, the song by the French chansonnier is still today a romantic anthem to the happy days of youth, which unfortunately pass and make one feel melancholic.
Nina Simone: Mississippi Goddam Lyric Video (Live at Newport, 1966)
It was 1966, and what Nina Simone denounced in the song "Mississippi goddam" was so heavy that major radio stations chose not to play it. A clear testament that the truth can provoke scandal.
Paolo Conte - Boogie (Live Montreux)
I don't know about you, but this piece by Paolo Conte is so captivating and beautiful that it makes me... stand tall!
The Day After WOODSTOCK
It's definitely worth watching this vast gathering of musicians who, shortly after participating in the Woodstock festival of 1969, come together to play and chat about what they've done previously. And this despite some hefty trips on drugs (different times...).
Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz - The Girl From Ipanema (1964) LIVE
And unfortunately, Astrud Gilberto has also left us. It's definitely worth re-listening to her in "The Girl from Ipanema," a song that is always captivating and delightful.
Oscar Peterson - Hymn To Freedom
Great this "Hymn to Freedom", especially when performed by a memorable jazz pianist like Oscar Peterson (to be rediscovered).
Pink Floyd - San Tropez
This unusual track by Pink Floyd is linked to an incredible urban legend. Towards the end of the song's lyrics, someone claimed that it said "making a date for Rita Pavone," instead of the correct "making a date for later by phone." It's easy to mishear something in English, but the fact that the person involved, Rita Pavone, endorsed this myth proves how well-known it is: Rita Pavone has always been a true charlatan!
