Luigi Tenco
Vedrai vedrai

The most beautiful.

Yes, but what does it mean? Everything and nothing.

Let's remove "beautiful".

Let's remove, even more so, "most".

Vedrai vedrai is a GREAT song, yes, we can say this without fear of contradiction.

A sad and haunting melody, sweet and melancholic.

A verse that rises and falls, marked by the sublime voice of a young Italian singer-songwriter, unfortunately remembered more for his end than for his work and hypocritically honored, at regular intervals, on the anniversary of his "suicide" by the state networks, by that bourgeois whore RAI and her pimping servants.

A chorus that instead of igniting the song, extinguishes it, buries it, drags it even deeper down, mired in the quicksand of deepest despair. No one believes him when he says "you'll see, things will change"; his voice is broken, almost prone to tears as he says you'll see you'll see and if you dared to believe a little, you would have then seen that not only did nothing change, but it ended badly, very badly. And that not even his tragic death brought about that hoped-for change.

Vedrai vedrai was written by Luigi Tenco in 1965 and is dedicated to his mother.

I truly, and I've already said it, cannot fathom how one could be so young and so sharp, so profound, so wise. Being an artist is not enough to boast such qualities, one must also have a greatness sui generis that I cannot quite explain. I am inclined to say an extraordinary intelligence but, no, I cannot find the right words. It's like a gift, a very keen sight that allows you to see far far away and to understand how your life will be one day after another.

If he hadn't died so soon, who knows what else he could have done, and if he had done so, growing, evolving only as great artists can, and he was indeed a great artist, then perhaps he would have become the greatest, and this time, even more so, I'll leave the "most".

I love you, Luigi, even if you always make me cry.
